I just got pretty plowed on fortified wines, a thing I had promised not to do again. A hellacious admixture of Night Train Express, Thunderbird and Cherry Cisco. I know that I WILL have a hangover in the morning. Still it tasted less like concentrated vomit than I remember, so it wasn't all bad.
P.S. This is the first time I've gotten drunk in months, so anybody who thinks I have a substance abuse problem can cram it in their asses. I drink only when I'm in a good mood, not to drown my sorrows or cheer myself up. I like a beer or two with dinner, but so do a lot of people, and I'm german/italian/british enough to get away with it.

I can think of only one person in our group who would assume you have a substance abuse problem after a few drinks.
I don't know if the question you ask is sincere or not, but in case you are honestly asking, fortified wine is fortified with additional alcohol to what the wine itself would have,usually brandy.
Adding the additional alcohol stops fermentation, with varying levels of sugar left in the wine depending on how early or late in the fermentation process the additional alcohol gets added.
Thank you, I had somewhat assumed that they used malt liquor, but further assessment leads me to realize that it would not have a significant effect on the alcohol percentage.
