The group dates back to September 1986. The very act of setting up the band took place an hour before Iron Maiden concert in Poznan, when Tomasz "Titus" Pukacki (vocal, bass guitar) met Robert "Litza" Friedrich (backing vocal, guitar) and they decided to sell the entrance tickets. The money they got was in no time spent on cheap Polish wine known locally as "kwas" (English "acid") The line up was then enlarged by Dariusz "Popcorn" Popowicz (guitar) and Maciej "Ślimak" Starosta (drums.) Soon they created a few song such as Barmy Army or Del Rocca which are performed live even these days. Unfortunately, after two months of blissful existence, the band suffered the loss of Titus - the leader, who had been called up to the army. Titus stayed there two years while the rest of the band performed with other bands. Popcorn joined Wolf Spider and Litza became a member of legendary Turbo and later Creation of Death. When Titus was finally released from the army, ACID DRINKERS was reactivated.
They first appeared on stage on 26th August 1989 in Wroclaw at a fairly big metal festival called "Metal Madness". They played three songs during which they remained completely still on stage, which was a pretty shocking idea as for a metal band at that time. The audience was absolutely taken aback. The same year they played only one more gig together with Turbo, Wolf Spider and Gomor.
In the meantime ACID DRINKERS recorded their first demo including Nagasaki Baby, Del Rocca and I Mean Acid. The demo noticed by Tomasz Dziubinski (Metal Mind Productions) was presented at Midem Fair in Cannes. A month later ACID DRINKERS signed a deal with Music for Nations. In 1990 ACID DRINKERS performed at Metalmania Festival in Katowice, which has been the largest metal festival in Eastern Europe for many years. The show was so excellent that not only fans but also critics and journalists regarded it as a triumph. In a blink of an eye the band gained popularity across the whole country. It was even called "Guns'n'Roses at Metallica's speed".
In October 1998 Litza left ACID DRINKERS, soon replaced by Przemyslaw "Perla" Wejmann. The same year the band was awarded "the Best Rock Band of the Year" by Polish Public Television. ACID DRINKERS also received "Fryderyk", the Polish equivalent of Grammy Award in category of "hard’n’heavy" in 1998, 2000, 2004. In 2003 Perla left the band. The place emptied by him was soon taken over by Tomasz ‘Lipa’ Lipnicki, the leader of another famous Polish band – Illusion. When Lipa left the band in march 2004, next guy joined the band. His name is Aleksander “Olass” Mendyk, guitar player from great hardcore band called None.
Acid Drinkers has always been one of the best and the most live-impressive Polish heavy metal bands. It has been estimated that so far they have played over 700 concerts in Poland and abroad. From 1996 to 2003 Acids headlined 7 tours and their audience reached a million of people. They headlined all the important Polish rock and metal festivals. The band supported many international stars, such as Deep Purple (in Katowice 03.06.1996 and 24.06.1998 and 27.06.2004 Legia Stadium-Warsaw), Ian Gillan ("Toolbox In" tour in Poland and Czech Republic December 1991), Megadeth, Bruce Dickinson, Sepultura, Paradise Lost and Slayer. The band has been recognized as the best Polish band of the 90s’ by Polish journalists, readers of Polish rock and metal magazines and, of course, BY FANS.

Take another shoot - dog rock!!!
Take another shoot - dog rock!!!
Take another shoot !!!
Take another shoot - dog rock!!!
Take another shoot - dog rock!!!
Take another shoot - dog rock!!!
So you ask me to dance
I will give you the rhythm
Don't you look to the door
Sway your hips to the music
As I draw you in close
That's the DOG ROCK baby
Take another big dose!!!
Take another shoot - dog rock!!!
Take another shoot - dog rock!!!
Take another shoot - dog rock!!!
Take another shoot !!!
So you ask me to dance
Draw me out on the floor
I will set the rhythm
You can show me the step
Softly you sway your hips
As I grab you by the ass
That's the DOG ROCK baby
Take another big dose!!!
Take another shoot - dog rock!!!
Take another shoot - dog rock!!!
Take another shoot - dog rock!!!
Take another shoot !!!
Take another shoot - dog rock!!!
Take another shoot - dog rock!!!
Take another shoot - dog rock!!!
You will feel so much pain
You will see so much puke
Plug your ears if you want
You won't hear the bad news
Piss your pants on the floor
Feel the hard times no more
That's the DOG ROCK baby
Take another big dose!!!
The lyrics of Acid Drinkers' song "Dog Rock" suggest drug abuse and its consequences. The repetition of "Take another shoot - dog rock!!!" implies an addiction to a drug referred to as "dog rock." The song describes the effects of the drug, that the person will feel pain, will see puke, and advises to plug the ears if one does not want to hear the bad news. The phrase "Feel the hard times no more" can suggest that the drug provides an escape from reality, a way to numb the pain, and forget the problems.
The second part of the song suggests that the drug's effects create an ideal dance partner—someone to "give you the rhythm" and guide you to "sway your hips to the music." However, the lines "As I grab you by the ass" can imply taking advantage of the person under the influence of the drug. Overall, the lyrics of "Dog Rock" convey a sense of danger and the consequences of drug abuse.
