Back in the first summer after graduating from high school I worked at pizza delivery. These were times where you'd go meet at "the Old Barn" or "The Oak Tree" or "that bridge" and so on.

We were enjoying the last real summer before having to become real adults and partying about 4-5 nights a week. This was financed by tip money from the deliveries.

Some day you go the good stuff, and some days you got this stuff and a chaser Big Gulp.
 
T-bird...Boones Farm....ripple...back in the day we were....UN-discerning. Add to the mix Schlitz malt liquor...and of course nothing was better than jungle juice parties with a heavy dose of Georgia corn squeezins. After we moved from the south, we as teens found we could also make a fairly potent combo with a can of grape Hi C, a bottle of Blue Nun wine, and a pint of Everclear when you cant find moonshine.
 
I've had Night Train. That was a mistake.

High School and college kids too. Cheap was the keyword back then.
 
Buckfast. 'Brewed' by monks for the benefit of Scottish alcoholics:

I tried all of them when I was about sixteen and most of them tasted more like cough syrup than wine.
I do remember filling my bong with Boone's Farm Apple wine to cancel out the nasty taste of the cheap brown Mexican pot we used to get back in the old days. (late Sixties - early Seventies)

When we'd get lucky and find some Thai Stick or sticky Colombian weed, we didn't need to use wine in the bong and we could catch a good buzz with one or two hits instead nine or ten.
 
I'm not much of a drinker, but as a network guy when I discovered Cisco wine I had to try it, and it lives up to it's rep.

Old site, but it's topical:

While I was underage many, many years ago, my friends and I would cross the border at Mexicali to buy a couple liters of Alcohol, two bucks each and 98 proof, and mix it with Hawaiian Punch concentrate then throw a party when we got home. The unfortunate women, girls mainly, who accepted our invitations couldn't even taste the alcohol and would regularly get outrageously drunk.

In fact, I owe the first few times I lost my virginity to those wonderful debauches.

MAGA.

Could get a lid for ten bucks, but the first time I got Thai stick forever ruined me for the seedy Mexican garbage, not to say I wouldn't smoke it anyway.

Not forgotting those miniature bottles of Korn you can pick up at supermarket checkouts whose empties seem to constitute 90% of unbinned German litter.

We regularly take our ATV and a little trailer and do roadside cleanup a couple miles in each direction of our house. Beer cans and little bottles of liquor comprise the bulk of what we collect and put out for our own trash collection service, thence to go to a landfill.

not in my region
 
I just used to steal a glass of my dad's whisky or his Guinness when I was a kid.

Never drank cheap wines or beers. Still mainly drink whisky or Guinness these days - but I'll also have an ice vodka (Polish style) or a glass of Jamaican rum.

In the early 1970s, yes. As an 18-year-old soldier, I sampled Thunderbird and Boone's Farm wine. It was cheap and affordable. These days, I think it's largely enjoyed by homeless winos.
 
Never tried it, never wanted to. All I remember about Thunderbird is some diddy from years ago: "What's the word? Thunderbird. What's the price? 79 twice!"
 
My dad made wine, so I drank home brew if I wanted wine. Nobody would elver miss a bottle or so from the wine racks.
