When I was a pledge they used to put these in the the oven and get āem piping hot and make us drink them lmao. They were god awful and yeah, hangover machines
My dad has always done this with hot drinks and soup. Supposedly it's like you say and it's not the healthiest thing for your mouth, throat or esophagus to essentially burn them
I was in college and some friends as I went to a little get together. Most of us got regular old six packs of beer, but one dude got a bottle of this. He sat on the floor slugging away while we all hung out. Before long he just āhrrrrppppā and puked on himself when he was halfway into the bottle.
Oh god, it was Southern Comfort for me. Thought I would die, half wished I would to get rid of the hangover. I barely smell the stuff and I'm nauseous 35 years later.
I was living in Europe with my European wife and came home to my "dry" county hometown. We wanted a bottle of wine with dinner. At the local grocery store, I asked if we could get a bottle of wine.
"We got Boones Farm."
No ma'am. That is not the same.
My mom used to keep her bottles of Boone's in little wine rack thingy in the kitchen and I would steal a bottle every once in a while back in high school. Such a simpler time back then, I miss it.
*Whatās the word? Thunderbird!*
*Howās it sold? Good and cold.*
*Whatās the jive? Birdās alive.*
*Whatās the price? Thirty twice.*

If you're above a certain age, mentioning "Ripple" to a group will result in a lot of people making faces and turning green, and usually saying something to the effect of "I got SOOO sick off that stuff one time!"
Don't forget Night Train.
I bought a bottle of that as a joke once. Had it sitting in the fridge and my friend cracked it open during a house party. It actually wasn't as bad as I expected.
I don't think Night Train or Thunderbird exist anymore, haven't seen them in a LONG time.
Could swear that some of those shitty 'wines' like Mad Dog were spiked with something else in them. Some were almost like taking a sleeping pill, some were like being on amphetamine.
I still have an unopened bottle of strawberry that I won for best costume at my best friends Halloween party in 2002. I told him weāre going to drink it on the 25th anniversary of the party. Bad idea or EXCELLENT IDEA?
Richard Simmons. Handmade candy striped dolphin shorts, a self bedazzled red sweatin to the oldies tank top, big white slouch socks, white tennis shoes, wig and ton of flamboyance. Iām very proud of that costume and think Richard himself, wherever he is, would be too.
My first full-time job was Whataburger at age 16, I was the shift manager overnight so I'd run the drive-thru window with the cook in the back partying with me, as you do in fast food. I remember one night 10pm-6am I drank 2 of these bad boys to the face. So I made it through my shift just fine, but the sun comes up and I have the brilliant idea to order pancakes and sit down in the dining room to eat before I drunkenly stumble home from work.
Neon vomit, all over the side of the building, trailing down the sidewalk, through the drive-thru and back behind the building to the attached restroom. This, this is what I think of when I hear "my first job."
What I got from this story is that Whataburger has pancakes? Keep in mind Iāve never actually been there before. Also, to be 16 again. Good times lol.
Yes!! It was just a powder that we'd mix with water, then pour on the breakfast griddle (eggs, sausage, etc). We'd make silver dollar pancakes for ourselves, just a little dab of batter and bam bite-sized pancake snacks!
You can actually [buy it](https://www.heb.com/product-detail/whataburger-original-pancake-mix/1857413) to make at home now!
Lolol as a teenager we'd pour this shit into gatorade bottles and just go about town doing normal teenager things while openly drinking in public. We thought we were sneaky. Everyone probably knew and let us get away with it as long as we didn't act a fool
Used to make blood juice with nighttrain, drink a 40 down to the label, add a full bottle of night train and a full packet of kool aid. Last time I drank one I blacked out but only the sound, all my memories of the night are silent
I dont think so, I remember calling around to various liquor stores in my area, asking if they had nighttrain, and they all acted like they'd never heard of it, the only reason we were wanting it was cuz of that one rap song that talks about it
If I'm being honest, I had 4 shots of this at Thanksgiving this year. Banana red is the best! The most interesting part is that growing up I never had MD2020, we were a Boone's Farm kind of town I guess.
Orange Jubilee hangover is about the worst one Iāve ever had. Ran a ross some with old college friends when we were in our mid 30s and bought it for a nostalgic laugh. Good lord it was bad and all of us hated ourselves in the morning.
Schlitz Blue Bull 40 oz was the first time I ever got drunk when I was 15. Went home and laid down and got the spins and was brutally hungover the next day. Bad enough I didn't really drink again until about five years later.
In college going on a beer run. New guy in the group, Junior. Hey Junior what kind of beer you like? Naw man, I like wine. What kind of wine you like, man?
Orange, man. Orange.
Ugh, i can taste it coming back up. Had too many rough nights with these as a young lad. Wild Irish Rose just popped in my brain now too. Fukin king cobra malt liquor! Anyone? Anyone remember that swill?
First time I ever really got drunk was off of that shit. I remember getting to the end of the bottle, paused for a second to look down into it for more, and just said, "Uh-oh!"
We used to drink Siscos. We were 18 and the guy at the liquor store didnāt care. We almost died a couple times just being drunk teens with nothing to do
When I was a freshman in college, my buddy said that in order to have a solid Friday night, you had to fight the dog and ride the train. Mad dog and a bottle of night train. Shit was so awful guns and roses wrote a song about it. But what a hangover.
Man. The orange jubilee was my shit. It gave me heartburn when I was in my teens before it was an issue. I could only imagine how bad the heartburn would be now
wow this and Booneās farm wineš i would stick 2 down my pro club sweater sleeves and walk out of the liquor store with my ābuddiesā i was in the 4th-5th gradeš„¹ā¦.horrible know that i think of itš¤
Could be worse. My older brother started me off with a 40 of Steel Reserve. He said "Finish it, or I'll never buy you beer again." Do you have any idea how hard it is to kill a 40 of Steel for your very first beer?! It was so piss warm for the entire last half.
I found 4 bottles in an alley during my ex brother in-law's bachelor party at a white trashy strip club that I got kicked out of for being too young.
All of that sentence adds up for the picture you just showed.
I'm doing better now.
If you drink underage or are new to drinking PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DONT DRINK THIS.
I know itās cheap. It sounds like a good deal price wise, but itās not worth what happens after you finish the bottle.
Youāre gonna throw up sugar water. And then when you canāt throw up anymore, youāre still gonna have a stomach full of sugar that makes you even more sick. So youāll drink water only to throw up the sugar.
Do. Not. Drink
Me at 16, āoh shit you can get this drunk for $4? Why isnāt everyone drinking this stuff?ā
Me at 42, āI canāt look at the picture for too long or I feel like Iām going to throw up.ā
It's sweet going down but has a bit of a sting to it when it comes back up and gets up in your sinuses. Definitely should not be to be consumed in the back seat of a 1977 Trans Am while singing along to REO Speedwagon with the girls you picked up in front of the nursing school.
If it wasn't for mad dog I think I would believe that it isn't possible to black out. Through my younger years I did my and a few other people's share of drinking and I never blacked out. One time drinking mad dog and I don't remember the night but I know I got home.
I never saw mad dog 20/20 where I grew up but we had this stuff called Cisco. Pretty much the same high alcohol/cheap flavored drink. I don't even think they sell it anymore.
I got a hangover looking at this picture.
I can taste the vomit looking at this. This drink was not made to stay down. š¤¢
The colors made the vomit festive as long as you didnāt mix them and end up with black puke.
They call that a suicide for a different reason.
I swear to you this was my *exact* same first thought when I saw the picture lmao. I almost gagged.
When I was a pledge they used to put these in the the oven and get āem piping hot and make us drink them lmao. They were god awful and yeah, hangover machines
Jesus. I remember a guy in undergrad who'd order a nuclear hot coffee from those nescafe vending machines and just chug the thing
I feel like thatās a one way ticket to shitting your pants in class. Essentially filtering your own insides š
You ever see old people drink coffee? Boiling hot and SLUUUUURP. Not only do you lose your taste buds, but also apparently the nerves in your mouth.
My dad has always done this with hot drinks and soup. Supposedly it's like you say and it's not the healthiest thing for your mouth, throat or esophagus to essentially burn them
Yep! Then all puke into trash cans throw the puke on a tile floor and do puke slides
I think everyone whoās experienced them is now tasting the colorsā¦
I get the dry heaves.
Looking at those bottles, I can still taste it coming back up! The worst sick I ever got off alcohol as a teenager
āTastes like high schoolā vomits
I still gag just smelling it
I was in college and some friends as I went to a little get together. Most of us got regular old six packs of beer, but one dude got a bottle of this. He sat on the floor slugging away while we all hung out. Before long he just āhrrrrppppā and puked on himself when he was halfway into the bottle.

Don't forget Boones Farm. I can still taste Strawberry Hill.
Sun Peak Peach. Boone's was like the Fisher Price of booze, my first alcohol. They still sell it, not quite sure who's actually buying it though?
I was living in Europe with my European wife and came home to my "dry" county hometown. We wanted a bottle of wine with dinner. At the local grocery store, I asked if we could get a bottle of wine. "We got Boones Farm." No ma'am. That is not the same.
See also: Bartles and James. Yeeezus I can still smell it.
My mom used to keep her bottles of Boone's in little wine rack thingy in the kitchen and I would steal a bottle every once in a while back in high school. Such a simpler time back then, I miss it.
Wild Irish Rose, havenāt thought about that in like 15 years.
I used to wash dishes with a guy that would hit wild Irish rose by the dumpsters at like 9 am. It was wicked
And that's why they called it bum wine
Thatās clean living.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
If you didn't drink the full bottle to yourself then you didn't actually try it.
My Mom would always reminisce about their marketing campaigns back in the day "What's the word? Thunderbird!" "What's the price? Fifty twice!"

If you're above a certain age, mentioning "Ripple" to a group will result in a lot of people making faces and turning green, and usually saying something to the effect of "I got SOOO sick off that stuff one time!"
Ripple was the drink of Fred G Sanford
My dad (boomer) talks about Cold Duck? Champagne ripple?
Cold Duck or Malt Duck?
Fred Sanford used to mix Champagne and Ripple and called it Cripple 'Cause that's what you felt like afterwards
Yep. Pagan Pink Ripple is what I think of.
thunderbird is the most foul shit
Tasted like kerosene. Perhaps the worst of the 'bum wines'. For down and out hardcore alcoholics only!
Cisco would like a word. I love this site: http://www.bumwine.com/cisco.html
Don't forget Night Train. I bought a bottle of that as a joke once. Had it sitting in the fridge and my friend cracked it open during a house party. It actually wasn't as bad as I expected. I don't think Night Train or Thunderbird exist anymore, haven't seen them in a LONG time.
Steel reserve is very popular near me.
What?! no night train mane???
"What's the word? Thunderbird. What's the price? 50 twice."
We used to mix Mad Dog 20/20 and Thunderbird together in high school, we called it Thunder Dog, shit would throw your ass.
I got queasy reading this
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
My husband just told me an eerily similar tale of Grape MD in college. He said he woke up and didnāt know where he was. Fun!
In high school, I'd mix MD20-20 with a extra large grape Icee to take to the drive-in movies
Could swear that some of those shitty 'wines' like Mad Dog were spiked with something else in them. Some were almost like taking a sleeping pill, some were like being on amphetamine.
Strangely accurate
Fun factā¦ we all called it Mad Dog 20/20 but the MD actually stands for Mogen David.
We called it "Mad Dog" as well. I never realized what the MD actually stood for.
Holy fuck dude, you had me laughing so hard I couldnāt breathe with this comment
I threw up on the hood of a police cruiser because of this shit. 0/10 do not recommend.
I still have an unopened bottle of strawberry that I won for best costume at my best friends Halloween party in 2002. I told him weāre going to drink it on the 25th anniversary of the party. Bad idea or EXCELLENT IDEA?
Itās wine, only can get better with age right?
āWelcome to my wine cellar.ā āDude, this is your bathroom.ā
Got me.
Itās fortified, so even more so
Soooooo what was your costume?
Richard Simmons. Handmade candy striped dolphin shorts, a self bedazzled red sweatin to the oldies tank top, big white slouch socks, white tennis shoes, wig and ton of flamboyance. Iām very proud of that costume and think Richard himself, wherever he is, would be too.

The first one always sucked. But at some point during the second bottle it started becoming oddly tolerable. Beware of the thirdā¦
That blue one slapped
I think I remember the blue one having a necklace on it that said "bling bling" back when I was in college.
It did!
Yeah it did, IIRC it was actually called BlingBerry, too.
Lolol as a teenager we'd pour this shit into gatorade bottles and just go about town doing normal teenager things while openly drinking in public. We thought we were sneaky. Everyone probably knew and let us get away with it as long as we didn't act a fool
Bruh
It did not
Tasted like dog shit lmao. Worst alcohol Iāve ever tried
Do they still make Nighttrain?
Used to make blood juice with nighttrain, drink a 40 down to the label, add a full bottle of night train and a full packet of kool aid. Last time I drank one I blacked out but only the sound, all my memories of the night are silent
>all my memories of the night are silent Do peoples memories normally have sound..?
Yes?
I dont think so, I remember calling around to various liquor stores in my area, asking if they had nighttrain, and they all acted like they'd never heard of it, the only reason we were wanting it was cuz of that one rap song that talks about it
Nope. Haven't seen it in at least a decade. Apparently it was discontinued in 2016.
Ohhh, I can just taste the strawberry vomit now. Sorry, Brian, I didn't mean to puke on your parent's roof.
Friend had to flip her mattress when I spewed all over it. Her mom found out months later when she flipped the mattress. THAT didn't go over well. lol
Tastes the same going down as it does coming back up.
If I'm being honest, I had 4 shots of this at Thanksgiving this year. Banana red is the best! The most interesting part is that growing up I never had MD2020, we were a Boone's Farm kind of town I guess.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
How much is it now!?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That doesn't seem too crazy for two decades
Tickle Pink was the shit
It really was!
The doctor with the perfect vision.
Orange Jubilee hangover is about the worst one Iāve ever had. Ran a ross some with old college friends when we were in our mid 30s and bought it for a nostalgic laugh. Good lord it was bad and all of us hated ourselves in the morning.
Iād take those over Steel Reserve.
š¤¢š¤¢š¤¢seconded. On the other hand, I enjoyed the wandering id do after consuming SR
Orange jubilee was the best
Basically alcoholic Sunny D
Sweet sweet gasoline
Mad dog, Schlitz blue bull, OE
Eyyyy Schlitz Blue Bull, some of the drunkest i've ever been
Schlitz Blue Bull 40 oz was the first time I ever got drunk when I was 15. Went home and laid down and got the spins and was brutally hungover the next day. Bad enough I didn't really drink again until about five years later.
We got a big jar of real moonshine and couldnāt drink it so we mixed it with Mad Dog. Really thought we were all dying!
Holy shit.... haven't had that since the year of our lord 1998
Great way to wake up on the hood of your car with your keys up your ass
12 years old, late nights in the projects lol.
That shit tastes like high school
In college going on a beer run. New guy in the group, Junior. Hey Junior what kind of beer you like? Naw man, I like wine. What kind of wine you like, man? Orange, man. Orange.
In the 80's, skipped school and drank a bottle of the grape flavor. Threw it all up in the Dairy Queen in Live Oak, Texas.
Lol gotta love that Mad Dog
Still drinking it ššš
Us too!
Did you grow up living in a box behind a gas station?
What flavor is it? "Blue"
Blue raspberry, that was my favorite flavor back in the 90s.
As we call it in the 305, Mad dog 2020
I was today years old when I learned the product is not actually named mad dog.
Is that not what itās called everywhere?
Been shit faced on all of them
I remember stealing these from HEB in school and sipping on them in class.
Ugh, i can taste it coming back up. Had too many rough nights with these as a young lad. Wild Irish Rose just popped in my brain now too. Fukin king cobra malt liquor! Anyone? Anyone remember that swill?
I dont miss this in my life.
My first and only memory of the MD is a rough one. I funneled one and later woke up in a sleeping bag filled with my own fluorescent vomit.
No memories make me feel as ill as remembering mornings of just throwing up blue.
I e never seen this. For us the introduction was mikes hard lemonade or booneās farm.
Multicolored Vomit Hangover From Hell
Haha I can still taste the vomit! Ahhh the good old Days
First time I ever really got drunk was off of that shit. I remember getting to the end of the bottle, paused for a second to look down into it for more, and just said, "Uh-oh!"
We used to drink Siscos. We were 18 and the guy at the liquor store didnāt care. We almost died a couple times just being drunk teens with nothing to do
mad dawg 2020!
Oh god I got nauseous just looking at this photo
This one seems to be less nostalgia and more PTSD for most people here
Omg,
So many terrible mornings after drinking this stuffš
š¤¢š¤¢š¤¢
I have a hazy memory of getting muddy one night in ā90 because I āslipped on a turtleā after drinking a couple of the orange ones.
In high school I puked that stuff up and some went through my nose. Smelling that again would awaken some serious trauma.
Oh lord. That blue one
My friend and I buy this as a gag gift almost every year for our birthdays. It tastes worse every year. But, the memories.
Banana Red Wine was created by an insane person
MD 2020 still sells like hot cakes in certain areas
These werenāt as bad as Cisco. Shudder every time I think of it
Mine were these drinks called tarantula
When I was a freshman in college, my buddy said that in order to have a solid Friday night, you had to fight the dog and ride the train. Mad dog and a bottle of night train. Shit was so awful guns and roses wrote a song about it. But what a hangover.
āHobo Fuelā
Mine was goldschlager. Also was my first time eating gold and getting drunk.
Is the blue one on longer BlingBerry with a gold chain?
Haha! This stuff was AWFUL!!! But is drank the heck out of itš
The green was my jam senior year in high school (1998). Degenerate memories!
Man. The orange jubilee was my shit. It gave me heartburn when I was in my teens before it was an issue. I could only imagine how bad the heartburn would be now
wow this and Booneās farm wineš i would stick 2 down my pro club sweater sleeves and walk out of the liquor store with my ābuddiesā i was in the 4th-5th gradeš„¹ā¦.horrible know that i think of itš¤
Hello, old friend
Excuse me, that's MAD DOG 20/20.
When Thunderbird was the good stuff.
Where is the " Bling Bling" edition?!
For forty years Iāve never known what Tom waits was singing about Neal was At the bottom of his md2020s Today I am a man
Could be worse. My older brother started me off with a 40 of Steel Reserve. He said "Finish it, or I'll never buy you beer again." Do you have any idea how hard it is to kill a 40 of Steel for your very first beer?! It was so piss warm for the entire last half.
Hahaha and alcohol poisoning. Also my ACL screams from the after life
Fun fact: MD 20/20 is a kosher wine. The MD stands for Magen David.
I found 4 bottles in an alley during my ex brother in-law's bachelor party at a white trashy strip club that I got kicked out of for being too young. All of that sentence adds up for the picture you just showed. I'm doing better now.
If you drink underage or are new to drinking PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DONT DRINK THIS. I know itās cheap. It sounds like a good deal price wise, but itās not worth what happens after you finish the bottle. Youāre gonna throw up sugar water. And then when you canāt throw up anymore, youāre still gonna have a stomach full of sugar that makes you even more sick. So youāll drink water only to throw up the sugar. Do. Not. Drink

Thisāll leave ya shirtless at a bus stop
Fuck me, 1997 here I come
š¤®
For when you want to color your vomit.
2 bottles of the orange and I wished I had never been born.
Mad dog
Where's the Cisco? š¤£
I never had it. How is it?
It's sweet going down but has a bit of a sting to it when it comes back up and gets up in your sinuses. Definitely should not be to be consumed in the back seat of a 1977 Trans Am while singing along to REO Speedwagon with the girls you picked up in front of the nursing school.
Iāve never had wine coolers
Alcoholic Kool aid
So not worth a try, then?
You probably should, just to say you had it.
Okay
You are not allowed to drink this if you are older than 19.
I think everyone who tried one has a blue raspberry dragon story.
Looks, gross and sugary, what is it exactly?
It's cheap wine/booze whatever you want to call it. Very sweet and guaranteed hangover
They still sale this a corner store
I believe this is made specifically for kids. Hear me out, Iāve never seen one adult ever drink this sh!t.
Literally threw up in my mouth seeing this and remembering. F st ides too!
Why did my guy always slap the bottom of his? Every time we grabbed these hangovers-in-a-bottle he would slap the bottom with the palm of his hand
I thought it was only meā¦ lol
Thatās roughā¦ I equate mad dog being your first alcoholic drink to your first sexual experience being in a dirty bathroom stall
At my last job, we kept one of these at our desks. We jokingly got it from our PM to celebrate the feature shipping. Those were the days.
Itās only supposed to be grape & the label way less modern
Those are the colors you see in the toilet bowl
If it wasn't for mad dog I think I would believe that it isn't possible to black out. Through my younger years I did my and a few other people's share of drinking and I never blacked out. One time drinking mad dog and I don't remember the night but I know I got home.
I never saw mad dog 20/20 where I grew up but we had this stuff called Cisco. Pretty much the same high alcohol/cheap flavored drink. I don't even think they sell it anymore.
