So you've got £10

In response to the US thread querying what you'd do to get good and loaded on $20, I put the same question to UK posters but you only have a tenner!

I would hit Sainsbury for their £5.99 35cl bottle of, own brand, vodka and a bottle of £3.99 75cl red wine. Then settle down for an evening of Brutal Hammers (and the certain knowledge that my tomorrow self will hate me).

Blood donation and bottle of cheapest vodka.

Well, there's always Lidl's and their 40% ABV 70cl bottle of Kalinka vodka...

But it's different for you Finns with your crazy moon prices for booze.

Quite so.

I'd probably get a couple of bottles of own brand sherry. But Sainsbury's have 1L of port for £7 at the minute, so that and 4 cans of tennent's finest from morrisons at £3

Point!

a litre of port is only 50p more than a tenglass. Marvelous. Hadn't seen the litres in stock for a long time

Worth knowing.

I could always spend £10 on a homebrew kit and get 40 pints of beer or six bottles of wine from a shop, or go properly alone and get 10 or 15 bottles of wine/cider from trees and vines

Against the rules, old chap. The tenner is to be spent on an immediate endrunkening.

There was a time when there was definite space for Carlsberg Special Brew (Or "Commemoration Lager" if you prefer) on this budget, alas, no more. Last I looked it was £2 a can, and they keep selling it in smaller cans too. I miss it, it was better than the reputation suggested, much like the drunkard community

I used to be quite fond of Tennant's Super when I was a lad. Sadly, the old 8-9% lagers have been superceded by the vileness of such horrors as White Lightening and Lambrusco.

Interestingly enough Carlsberg made Special Brew, initially, as a gift for Winston Churchill after he was heard to comment (at a reception at the Danish Embassy) that lager had no taste and that it was impossible to get drunk upon (I guess they took his critique to heart).

I know, and according to their website, they made it with cognac flavours to mimic his favourite tipple

I like the fact that they don't make click to "swear that you are of legal drinking age" to get into their website, which always struck me as being a bit pointless...
