Yes, I fondly remember cold duck, along with my mother drinking pink Champale on trips to the lake. I still remember sneaking drinks of that pink nectar when she wasn't looking, also circa '75ish. And does anyone remember Harvey's Bristol Cream, the popular sherry from that era? I remember all of those being heavily marketed around the holidays. In high school I graduated to Boone's Farm, MD 20/20, and gods help me, Schlitz Malt Liquor bull for a cheap drunk. Thanks for the memories!
