Whenever my family went on holiday to Dartmoor when I was little, parents would always take us to church at Buckfast Abbey if we were there on a Sunday.

Always thought it was just for the nice architecture and the gardens, but maybe they had another motive....

"Managed to make it through a couple of small glasses"

Egads! Why?

This is super old but seems to be making the rounds again, received it on WhatsApp twice in the past few days - what causes something to come back like that?

It gets into the meme rotation because it gets reposted somewhere and got a lot of views, then it gets reposted a lot by human and bot alike. One big post can cause this to happen.

It's about a month until the 12th, perhaps the orangemen are trying to drive the price down.

Good ol lurgan champagne. My da used to drink the stuff for years, funnily enough he was from around the lurgan area. He can't touch the stuff now, mind.

It's good to have a professional confirming the experience we know and love

Wreck the hoose juice! Yes! Fucking devils ribena!

The mistake was not paring it with MDMA.

Sounds like less boozy Jägermeister (also made by monks) with added caffeine.

Had always assumed it would be fizzy.

Wait, so the original Four Loko was made by monks?
