Scotland - Bottle of Fight the World

By viceland

It's known as 'Buckie', 'Brown Sauce', 'Commotion Lotion', 'Wreck-the-hoose Juice', and 'Bottle of Fight the World'. Buckfast is a fortified wine that is the favoured tipple of Neds (Scottish council estate kids) because it's cheap, strong and tastes like sweeties.

But Scotland's health minister wants to ban Buckie because, he says, it encourages underage binge drinking and violence (glass Buckie bottles are said to be responsible for 80 per cent of the head injuries at Scottish A&E wards every weekend)...

The drink is also singled out in a new government film as being the fuel for ASBOs.

But the Benedictine Order who've been brewing Buckie for over 100 years are like, "What? File that under 'Not Our Fault." These moonshine-peddling monks think that they're being made scapegoats for Scottish alcoholism.

We'll keep you informed as the battle over Buckie continues.
