That website is a real hoot.
Fortified wines are the fastest, cheapest and most convenient way to get smashed, it is true.
When I was in high school, there was a local wino who would purchase booze for kids. He recommended Sweet Lucy, which was pink and sweet, and told you to watch out for Sneaky Pete, which was green and offered a second drunk if you drank some water after the first has worn off.
Apparently Ripple has been discontinued, and with it, the possibility of the mixed drink known as Thunderipple.
At least legally. There are those that economize by making "squeeze" out of Sterno, which you have to remove the wood alcohol from to avoid it making you blind.
I have heard of Lysol spray as an inexpensive drunk.
There was a vile cheap tequila named Tres Magueyes. You knew you had enough when you could count six magueyes on the label.
It was the tequila that you bought to reward the mariachis with when you got drunk and went to serenade your novia and all her neighborhood at 3:00 AM. It cost about 90ยข for half a liter.
I can drink a small amount of hard liquor, not even enough to make me feel any effect and the next day, I have no energy at all. So mostly I stick to beer and wine.
I like Malbec, an Argentine wine which is never bad.
