I always have a couple glasses before I see a GNR show, so I have had it 3 times in my life. ?If it wasnt for the sentimental rah rah in the pre-game for the concerts, I would never drink the stuff. I still have a bottle left over from the shows I went to this year. ?It can be hard to find. ?I live in suburban Minneapolis/St Paul, and I had to travel all the way to a seedy part of St Paul to find it. ?It was about $4 bucks a bottle.

Now i believe in England to call the People that own run 7-11 or corner shops Pakis is Racist and they take offence a lot of the time they are not Pakistanis they are Indians, is it the same in USA or is it just us English

Packie as in "Package Store" (which is what our liquor stores are called up here in CT).

For example: "I'm making a quick packie run.? Anyone want anything?".

Sorry for the confusion.

Oh, and FYI: Our 7-11 type stores (Cumberland farms, Quickie Mart, X-tra Mart, 7-11, etc) don't sell "adult beverage consumables".

Well something new learnt here, i wasnt trying to be an asshole or anything its just a word for that type of shop that is used differently in this country,

so a note to Americans Dont come here saying anybody want anything from the packie shop as you might get funny looks.

Anyhow back to the subject ?

No biggie.  Really, we use the term so much around here I hadn't even thought about writing it "long form" (Package store) to avoid the confusion and never thought about the possibility to miscontrue the term to something racist.

But I figured I'd clarify before someone either a) got offended or b) a quick clicking mod dropped negative karma on my head.

Here in Canada, you might not just get a few evil grins, but a few punches thrown your way too..

Got it...when in the UK:

"Gents, can you direct me to your local liquor emporioum and, whot whot, is there anything I can procure for you my fine chaps?"

And in Canada:

"Where's the local beer store, eh?  And can I buy you anything, eh?  How about your furry, antlered friend, eh?  Or your brother the mountie, eh?



Sorry, couldn't resist!     For the record, I love both the UK and Canada (though I'm still a bit ticked off over the Bryan Adams and Celine Dion stuff!!!  We OWE YOU for that!).

I used to go to school at st cloud state university (MN), and they had night train at the liquor stores there.  I bought a bottle once, it was $1.99, and it was horrible.  Its hard to describe the taste but it was similar to the cough meds comparison, only it had a big kick to it.  If you get a bottle make sure you chill it first, it tastes a little better, but not much.  It will help if you are drunk already then you wont taste it as much.

LOL!

You got it Pilferk.  As long as you use "eh?" like a natural while in Canada, you'll fit amongst us like a glove

Nope, can't get us on that one.  They've tortured those of us in the states FAR more than they have you blokes, abroad.

Besides, your gripe is with New Jersey.... 



PS: I'm awaiting D's vehmenent defense of Bon Jovi....it should be coming any second now.

It must be real popular in the south, because you can get it in just about any convenience store in NC.

I hear its the ghetto drink..cheap, nasty, and HUGE hangover.? I'll still try it if I find it though...

Yeah. I haven't seen a bottle of Night Train in awhile. It's near impossible to find in the regular liquor stores nowadays, because it's such a low-end drink. Some freinds of mine said they bought a couple bottles awhile back at, just what you said, a ghetto liquor store.

Because of it's cheapness, some of these low-end, ghetto areas might be the only places to track down Night Train.

But it's not that great of a drink. So if you get shot in the process or mugged trying to get it, simply just isn't worth it, lol.?

Most people bought it because it's so potent, you get wasted EASILY on NT.

Im doubt Axl would advocate anyone going out and trying this vile stuff

Yeah, he never tied one on.

You won't find Night Train in the UK (I know, I've looked and there's something to do with some of the ingrediants that bar it from being imported. Or so I was told by the owner of an Offie who specialised in US imports.)

That being said, I tried it years ago when a friend brought back a few bottles from the US and knew I was a GnR fan so I got a full bottle all to mahself. I wouldn't go out of my way to find it, but if I saw it while in the mood for a cheap n nasty I'd get a few bottles.

In the UK the Cheap n Nasty wine for me, as a teenager, was Buckfast Tonic Wine. Made in Devonshire, England by monks in Buckfast Abbey it's enough to get ya going after a bottle. Most people it makes 'em fight tho (I never had this issue) so watch out if you try it.

I have 3 liquor stores in my area and 2 ordered it for me... Its not hard for them to get , because its made by one of the biggest wine makers in the world.. Usually places could get it on their next shipment date along with their order... Just ask them to order Night Train made by  E&J Gallo Winery... The 2 places are far from ghetto too... The other place was kinda snooty when they told me no... So i'm sure if you call a few places you'll find at least one to order it for you!!

I purchased 6 bottles in Indiana when I was there for xmas!   

[vietnow138]

I live in Southern California (Ventura County if you know the area) and you can easily find Night Train in or outside my area in most liquor stores, and its not just sold in the poorer areas like someone said above its spread out pretty well.

[gnr1967]

I tried it for the first time when I was in Atlantic City about two years ago.? One of the liquor stores on the outskirts of town sold it.? (It cost me $3.00 - I think I overpaid).? It was pretty awful and gave me a terrible headache.? I would not recommend it unless you're desperate to try the stuff.

[fear the juggalo]

DONT EVER DRINK THIS CRAP!!!!!!!!!! EVER!!!!!!
