Damn I was not nearly that based at 20. And given that you're on a Canadian instance and this is about the UK, I'm assuming you're talking more like 16-17…
We were 14-15. 1 can pineapple, same can filled with sugar, a packet of my mom's bread yeast. Dump it all in a gallon container and fill with water and put a lid on it (loosely, so it can "breath"). Hide it somewhere safe and live in fear of it being found for a month or two. Strain it and pass it around. We were stupid fools. We even tried "Scope" (a mouthwash) which was about the same as wine, back then.
