Damn, Mad Dog 20/20, this just transported me back to the worst hangover I’ve ever had, when I was 15, after drinking two bottles of that. A full day of vomiting. Never touched that stuff again since, but I can still taste it now 30 years later.
It was better than a lot of the other cheap malt liquor drinks available at the local corner store, is what I mean. Not great, not the worst, just alright.
I remember we used to be able to get something called Clear Creek Ice for like 9 bucks for a 30 pack. It was the most disgusting thing I've ever tasted and my friend used to drink them warm
This was a cheap weekend stuff I use to buy when I was in my 20's. That or cheap random malt liquor 40's from any close convenience store..lol.. But when I had extra money to blow my favorite was Skye Vodka.
Me and some people skipped school one time and were sitting around getting stoned. My friend chugged one in one drink and we left soon after. We almost got hit by a train. I got out of there quickly but he was throwing soon after. That guy eventually got at least four DUIs.
MD is your typical high school “steal-from-the-liquor” drink that absolutely gives you the worst hangovers. But the assortment of flavors & colors is pretty!
Man, i remember back in the day I would get a bottle of mad dog and a bottle of vodka, drink a half the bottle of md and refill it with vodka. Good times.
When I was in college, one weekend I was broke af. We went to Walmart, and a 12 pack of Steelies was like 6 bucks, cheap enough for me! That Friday night I had 4 12 oz cans, and proceeded to blackout and say stupid shit to my friends. This is coming from someone who had been partying with hard liquor (even Spirytus, Everclear, etc.). Even the OG Four Lokos, before I was even drinking age, just had me coming in and out of consciousness. Like my friend was driving me home, and I’d pass out for a few seconds, and then be completely lucid the next.
I told myself the next night, “Well, I still got 8 Steels on Reserve, maybe I’ll just do 3, but I’ll expect a possible blackout”. Blacked out again. Didn’t say any dumb shit, that I know of.
I still stand by that 211’s are blackout in a can. It’s what I buy my local bum from time to time. I’d buy him something better (Natty Daddy? Idk if that’s better), but he prefers Steel Reserve.
How bad does what have to be? Pretty bad. I would put this at a 7/10. It would get 6/10 but they get +1 for shamelessly posting it online while also likely hiding the bottle out of sight when guests come over.
Sweet jesus, I'd scrubbed the memory of this drink from my mind. Used to be sold in our local pub and nightclub in the early 90s, full on loopy juice. Kicking out used to be a nightmare, as tonnes of people would go from a hot nightclub to the cold air and wind up throwing up literally everywhere.
I was watching Oz recently and there’s a scene where one guard is drinking in the locker room after he had lost participated in a firing squad to kill someone who had killed his buddy. He offers some to his coworker and she says ‘no thanks, I never developed a taste for mogen David.’
I have watched this show 100x over and never knew until very recently that mogen David was the same thing as mad dog. Now that line is so much funnier knowing the guy was drowning his sorrows in mad dog 20/20.
Ya, I only know bc I used to work for a beer and wine company that delivered it. We always just called it MD and I later learned people called it mad dog. I think they leaned into it and made a canned drink at one point.
The traditional method is to discretely place the bottle in a receptacle directly adjacent to your groin. You then exit the establishment that provided it to you gratis, preumsably in recognition of your social status and community contributions.
After exiting, you allow the bottle to remain snugly intimate until you are away from the public's gauche and prying eyes.
Upon reaching your refuge and setting aside your cares and toils, you open the bottle to let it breathe. Be sure to break your fast before the vintage loses the heat of your body.
Is 20/20 still a thing? I've not seen it since the 90s when it was briefly the drink of choice for 15/16 year olds in my area who were looking to get wasted.

I mean, it's alright. Orange one was the best. They get you properly trashed as well if that's what you are looking for.
Very high in sugar though, so it's a young person's drink. Had one in my 30s and the hangover lasted days.

MD 20/20 is very sweet, so you can drink a lot of it very fast. The hangover will also make you see God.

Pull up a chair friend! I’ll crack open another bottle and fix you a plate.
Marioninleather@reddit
I can tell from the condensation in the bottle you are drinking that cold, which is offensive. You've got to let it breathe and serve it at body temp.
DickBiggenstein@reddit (OP)
I usually chill it down and insulate it in a high tech paper bag. I’ll try your method next.
Marioninleather@reddit
The traditional method is to discretely place the bottle in a receptacle directly adjacent to your groin. You then exit the establishment that provided it to you gratis, preumsably in recognition of your social status and community contributions.
After exiting, you allow the bottle to remain snugly intimate until you are away from the public's gauche and prying eyes.
Upon reaching your refuge and setting aside your cares and toils, you open the bottle to let it breathe. Be sure to break your fast before the vintage loses the heat of your body.
