Sounds very like my friendship group. I'd say from about 26 to 32 we would start the night off with a bottle of Buckfast 'ironically'. I swore off it after waking up at about 4pm with heart palpitations and realising it would probably kill me.
I only experienced Dragon Soop once, and that was when a friend went back to uni at 28 to do a medicine degree and we descended on his halls and generally terrified his clean living fresher housemates with our rowdy ways. I blame coming of age at peak alcohol...

Buckfast seemed to have a revival recently (or at least it did in some of my friend groups). I thought I'd happily left it behind as a University drink but people started to bring it to house parties and using it for cocktails over the last couple of years. Or Sanatogen if they fancied a cheaper off brand night. They all seem to have moved on to Magnum now though which tastes even worse I think.
Similarly a friend has started to big up Dragon Soop for some reason despite it being, again from University memory, an absolutely horrific drink.
