These fine Scottish fellows are drinking a beverage called "Buckfast" ...
The language they are using to communicate is a West coast dialect known as "pished there wee man"
Please note this is in one of the more effluent areas of the UK and in now way represents the majority of the Scottish population.
Babel Fish ready?

The wine, which is still manufactured using many of the same ingredients, is based on a traditional recipe from France.The Benedictine monks at Buckfast Abbey first made the tonic wine in the 1890s. It was originally sold in small quantities as a medicine using the slogan "Three small glasses a day, for good health and lively blood".
In 1927 the Abbey lost its license to sell wine. As a result, the Abbot allowed wine merchants to distribute on behalf of the Abbey. At the same time, the recipe was changed to increase the appeal of the product. These changes resulted in increased sales. Modern bottles carry a notice stating that the wine does not have tonic properties of the type claimed by the former slogan.
The wine, which comes into distinct brands depending on the market, has achieved popularity in working class, students and bohemian communities in the United Kingdom and Ireland. In the Republic of Ireland, Buckfast (packaged in a darker bottle) has a slightly lower alcoholic strength and lacks vanillin flavouring of the British version. Buckfast sold in Northern Ireland is the same as the rest of the UK. [1]
Buckfast has become closely linked to the Scottish ned culture.[2] Due to its notoriety, the drink has also entered the popular culture lexicon in Scotland leading to nicknames, such as "Wreck the Hoose Juice", "Commotion Lotion" and "Mrs. Brown".[3] Other nicknames are "Bucky", "Lurgan Champagne", "Buckie Baracas", "Sauce" and "Coatbridge Table Wine".

Like Blue nun + voddy + cough mixture
Desperado now that's a lovely beer. You can order it much cheaper than that. No need for lime in the top though. That's only for hot countries to stop the flies going in the neck of the bottle. Lots of people think it's to add taste.
Red wine for me tonight with a nice fillet steak. I deserve it after laying slate floor tiles all day
