American here. What is this stuff? Is it intended to be consumed in a particular fashion, not just gulped down in a glass?

    It’s mostly consumed as an act of bravado in Scotland and the north of England, with the intention of getting riotously drunk.

    It appears it's kind of like MD 20/20 here in America. Cheap, sugary "bum" wine.

    I just read they also add caffeine to it. Jesus.

    The buckfast motto tells you everything you need to know.

    Buckfast gets you fucked fast.

    It's intended to be consumed in a park directly from the bottle.

    An ungodly fortified tonic wine brewed by people of god. Brewed could even be a strong word, if I had to guess, I would say it's extracted from a natural reserve which was originally thought to be oil until they realised it gets you shitfaced.
