A drink you don't see anymore that and cherryB. I have to admit I remember the adds on tv well from my youth but don't think I have seen them in shops for sometime.

Any other drinks you remember that seem to have disappeared.

Oh, that takes me back to my youth! I used to drink brandy and babycham. Not a combination I'd consider these days.

My parents had all manner of things you don't see any more - Creme de Menthe anyone?

All alcopops have gone I think. It's all flavoured gin/vodka now

I remember Thunderbird as a very cheap wine beloved of underage drinkers

It has a lot of additives to make it taste terrible and induce vomiting to try and stop people drinking it. We work with a lot of addicts and have heard of people trying to drink it through bread to “filter” it. Sad times.

Yes I can remember the Cinzano Bianco ads on tv. How about the Skol ad with the Vikings in.

Tv ads have changed so much nowadays no alcohol, chocolate or cigarette ads allowed now.

And it was cheap as chips, I'm sure it was only £1.50! Plus you never had to show your ID in the offy!!

Bezique. Made by bacardi, flavoured with lemon and lime. Didn't need a mixer, I necked many a bottle of the stuff in the late 80s (classy bird).

Pretty sure it's been discontinued, I haven't seen it since the early 90s.

????????????

Years ago I was in nightclub and a girl in our group asked for a brandy and baby ham, she had two and then promptly collapsed on the floor, we all had to leave carrying her with us! Poor girl was paralytic and sick as a dog! Happy times long past
