It is used in Scotland, particularly in Glasgow and the West of Scotland, to refer to strong fortified wine, typically Buckfast Tonic Wine or other highly alcoholic, caffeine loaded varieties associated with street drinking and disorder. People typically say "A bottle of electric soup will do the job" or "He's been on the electric soup." The term originated in late 20th or early 21st century Scottish slang, playing on the drink's reputation for delivering a "shock" to the system, and remains common alongside "commotion lotion" as a nickname for Buckfast.
