    American here. What is this stuff? Is it intended to be consumed in a particular fashion, not just gulped down in a glass?

      It’s mostly consumed as an act of bravado in Scotland and the north of England, with the intention of getting riotously drunk.

      The buckfast motto tells you everything you need to know.

      Buckfast gets you fucked fast.

      It’s intended to be consumed in a park directly from the bottle.

      An ungodly fortified tonic wine brewed by people of god. Brewed could even be a strong word, if I had to guess, I would say it’s extracted from a natural reserve which was originally thought to be oil until they realised it gets you shitfaced.

      Bucky has one purpose. It’s the thoroughbred of not-spirits.

      Best served warm and straight from the bottle to the back of the throat.
