... And we never ate it again.

[Strangler Lewis]

I've had Thunderbird. Never had the Mad Dog. Never heard of Cisco. However, for cheap drinks (drunks?), nothing in my experience compared to Bertola's, which is/was on the Oakland Berkeley border. In the early '80s, it was .50/.75/1.00 for a single/double/triple out of the well. Cheap even for the standards of the day. Lively place, too, as I dimly recall.

For in room dining, my classy punch of choice was a sangria made with cheap wine that I would liberally season with Canadian Club.
