Crap you drank in college... or just crap you drank...

[LaraMN]

I think there was a blue kind we had, too.



I liked the blush, myself.




hated it, but my friend always had it.

[WeRQ4U]

1. On my 21st birthday my friends made me drink a shot called the "Trash Bin"

It was so gross. After I took it they told me what it was. They had the bartender pour the barmat into a shot. I still hate them for that. :puke:

We called the Franzia wine "Shalable" in an Italian accent. The box had the word "Chillable" on it. Hench the name.

[LaraMN]

4. Oh. my. God.

That is so gross! I would've hated them, too.

[Tafiti]

2. More like high school.

Yes, there was in fact a blue After Shock variant, called (I belive) Avalanche. Yep, high school.

Never did indulge in the Franzia, we were a little more upscale, always opting for the Carlo Rossi (8 bucks for a big fuckin' jug? Hell yeah!)

In desperate times, I'll still drink Busch Light. Gotta do what you gotta do!

[LaraMN]

3. Avalanche! Yes! Ugh. I had to buy the cheap stuff,

I spent almost my entire on-campus job earnings on cigarettes. :wow:

[Tafiti]

7. Heavy smoker?

I was too. When local gas stations would get the Buy 1 Get One Free deal, we'd load up like mad to save some money. By the time we ran out, they'd have another special going!

[LaraMN]

10. I went through a carton about every four days.

During finals week, we weren't in the classroom much, so I smoked even more-- like three packs a day. I was the only one of my friends to LOSE 15 pounds, my freshman year. :scared:

[DS1]

5. My college years were actually 'in the marines' years

but that didn't stop any of us.

So, I give you - my shameful shit list



Crazy Horse made us hallucinate after 2 bottles

[Shell Beau]

6. I would mix vodka with anything in sight.

Sunny D-lite :puke: , grape juice :puke: , cherry lime-aid from Sonic
:puke: , Hawaiian Punch :puke: , and then there was this



:puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke:

[LaraMN]

8. I still do that, sometimes.

and I still like Boone's farm. It tastes like carbonated kool-aid. :yoiks:

[Mike Daniels]

19. Ugghh....

A bottle of Boones Farm Strawberry wine followed by a six pack of Guiness had me hung over for 3 straight days one time in college.

I could barely crawl (literally crawl) around the house for the first three hours after waking up.

To this day, walking by that stuff gives me shivers.

[eyesroll]

9. Yep.

The weird thing is -- I think the once or twice I tried to buy this when I was under 21, I didn't get carded. As if anyone over 21 drinks Boones Farm.

[Shell Beau]

13. Really! That is totally an underage beverage!

[jane_pippin]

11. We once mixed Vodka with Blue Kool-Aid as it was all we had to mix

the vodka with.

We named the drink "Vodkanauts" because the Kool-Aid guy was riding a rocket ship on the Kool-Aid packet.

The next morning we woke up to find we had placed a sled in the tree out front for some reason. Good times. :thumbsup:

[LaraMN]

14. Good times, indeed!

:rofl:

[Shell Beau]

17. Yep! I remember those kind of nights!

Ah, memories!

[jane_pippin]

21. Ha. It's the ones we don't remember that worry me. ; )

[Shell Beau]

23. And there is quite a few of those!!

:)

[xmas74]

12. Wild Turkey and Golden Grain.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

27. I'd rather drink rubbing alcohol than wild turkey!

Good god that stuff is awful!! Shell out a couple of extra bucks for some Jack at least!!

[xmas74]

51. You get what you pay for.

It was a fast buzz and seemed worth it at the time. I now wonder if my ulcers came from drinking that swill.

[kwassa]

55. Wild Turkey is decent bourbon, I don't know why y'all are trashing it

[xmas74]

59. wake up for about six months straight w/

a mix of Wild Turkey and vomit in your mouth and you will understand.

[Magrittes Pipe]

15. Most of my crap drinkin' was done in high school.

Milwaukee's Beast, Natty Light, shit like that.

There was also the dread "Purple Jesus." :scared:

[Shell Beau]

22. Do you remember Purple Passion?

Or wine coolers? :puke:

Or mad dog 20/20?

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

96. Plum Jubilee did me in....

oh jeebus.... :puke:

[jane_pippin]

16. Pretty much anything but mostly cheap rail whiskey & coke because

it was $1.50 at the bar we went to.

[Mr. McD]

18. White Port and lemon juice

Oh, to be 13 again. :puke:

[no name no slogan]

20. Night Train

I had a friend who was a Night Train and Coke fiend. NT is so foul you can't drink it straight, plus the caffeine in the Coke gave a nice little kick to it, too.

Nasty, nasty stuff.

[bleedingheart]

39. I got so sick on that once....it makes me gag thinking about it...

we drank it straight...Robitussin tastes better....

[dean_dem]

61. That Night Train's a mean wine.

So says Jake Blues. I tried it once, didn't make it through the whole bottle.
40s of Schlitz Malt Liquor was more my speed. So young and stupid (still).

[Magrittes Pipe]

70. I needed diapers after that.

[StopTheMorans]

77. i hope that you didn't get too drunk, and start throwing shit around

[no name no slogan]

90. again

?

[atomic-fly]

24. it was cheap and kind of punk rock

[tigereye]

54. used to sneak it out of my dad's case

it was TERRIBLE.

and then there was

and

and

and need I say more? DUnno what I was thinking at the time.

[nuxvomica]

25. Annie Greensprings Blackberry comes to mind

Sweet and cheap. My roommate was fond of Manischewitz for the same reasons. We often drank Boone's farm as well, or some Irish Rose thing, I forget the whole name. And, rarely, Ripple or Thunderbird. And then of course there was always some store-label peppermint schnapps. That's when we weren't drinking whatever beer was on special at the campus Rathskeller or what was being handed out for free on the quad by the ROTC recruiters.

[MarianJack]

101. What Always Struck Me About Annie Greensprings...

...was how BLATENTLY racist their TV commercials were in the '70s.

Every negative stereotype of African Americans and cheap wine all rolled up in a 30 second spot and all to bad country music!

[WCGreen]

26. We didn't have all that fancy stuff that you young folk had...

Back in my day, we use to mix up a garbage can full of cool aide, chopped up fruit and grain alcohol just to get the ladies in the mood....


Also, lot's of kegs....

Snaapp's was cool, but all they had was peppermint back then....

We also drank little vodka gimlets, which went by the name of kamakazi....

But me, since I was majorin' in debauchery with a minor in alcoholism, I pretty much drank what ever I could get my hands on....

[LaraMN]

29. Chopped up fruit and booze-- we did that too!

It was put in a bathtub and the party centered around it was called a "wop."

[WCGreen]

31. WE called them Hairy Buffalo's...

But after the Jim Jones thing, college kids bein' what we were, we started to call them Jonestown parties....

[Tafiti]

69. Gimlets.

I love gimlets, and vodka gimlets too - drink 'em all the time.

Though a vodka gimlet has vodka and lime juice, it's gotta have triple sec in it in order to be a kamakazi (and way less vodka). Or, if you've got the dough, Cointreau or Grand Marnier. :thumbsup:

[LaraMN]

78. Ohhh...I forgot Apple Pucker!

Tasted like jolly ranchers! It made great jello shots.

[Tafiti]

82. Apple Pucker?

Who said anything about Apple Pucker? :shrug:

To this day, I have never had a jello shot. Whenever someone actually goes to the trouble of making them, they're long gone by the time I get there. x(

[LaraMN]

85. Oops! How did I post there?

I'm such a boob!

[WCGreen]

79. Well, that is what we knew from back in my day....

We use to make pitchers of stuff before we went out....

[Tafiti]

81. Just giving you shit...

...and being a pretentious bastard. ;)

In college, we'd make Gatorade coolers full of "riptide": a case of beer, half-gallon of vodka, and three cans of frozen lemonade. Sounds nasty, but it was delish (and it fucked you up something fierce :crazy:)

[WCGreen]

107. I haven't had a drink in over

22 years....

Outsida the fact I'm really fuckin' thirsty.....

I honestly don;t remember......

[AtomicKitten]

28. Jeez, remember iced tea?

Almost went blind many a time back in the olden days.

[Southpaw Bookworm]

30. Alcohol mixed in a lined trash can

Fruit punch, grain, vodka, and fruit that had been soaking in grain all week.

The last time I ever drank that sort of crap was at a post-football-game party the night Princess Diana died. By the end of the evening (or rather, the morning), I was convinced that the whole event was a hoax concocted by CNN for ratings. Oh dear Goddess, was I ill.

[SOteric]

49. Ah Spodie. We did that.

Anyone who came into the dorm had to bring some sort of beverage, -no questions asked, - and everything went straight into the can. I mean that both literally and figuratively.

:hi:

[flamingyouth]

72. We had spodi at most fraternity parties I attended.

Somehow drinking stuff that came in a garbage can didn't appeal to me. :puke:

I remember one party at the Psi Upsilon house where the Young Fresh Fellows were playing (in their velvet Sgt. Pepper suits, no less) and I had had a little too much of that stuff. The room started to spin...

[swimboy]

32. Oh, man---sloe gin in lemon-lime Slurpee. Red grape malt duck.

Vodka and Wyler's lemonade. Iron City Beer.

You had to work with what was available.

[AllegroRondo]

33. My Army drinking days.....

I spent a year in Korea, which we called the Armys 'alcohol tolerance program'. Lots of guys away from their family for a year (you couldnt bring them along), in a strange place with not much to do.

Alcohol was rationed, you could only buy 2 liters per month. So near the end of the month when everyone had maxed out their ration card, we would end up drinking whatever was left.

tequila, amaretto, and mountain dew - actually not bad.

we would also mix the Korean rice wine, called Soju, with just about anything. it was very cheap - about $1 a liter - and virtually tasteless when mixed.

[warrens]

34. Haffenreffer beer

Basically had to be ice cold to be even vaguely palatable.

[flvegan]

41. I drank that after hearing it in a Beastie Boys song.

Bad move.

[Beware the Beast Man]

35. MD 20/20, Milwaukee's Beast, Mickey's,

Black Label, Shaeffer, Keystone, Natural Light, Ezra Brooks bourbon, Banker's Club Gin, unghh..:puke:

As soon as I turned 21 I had a friend who introduced me to microbrews, and I haven't looked back.

[peekaloo]

36. Southern Comfort and Dr. Pepper.

Mad Dog 20/20, too.

:puke:

[Shine]

37. Don't remember too much about what I drank...

I tended to smoke more pot back then. Still gotta buzz, on less calories....

LOL!!
:rolf:

~Shine

[LaraMN]

38. Yeah, in all fairness, I smoked more than I drank,too.

We used to smoke up and play Life (the board game.) :P

[Shine]

46. LOL! Oh, I remember THAT game!!

Hey, aren't we STILL playing it? The "real" thing, that is....whatever THAT is....!

:hi:

~Shine

[LaraMN]

47. I think I liked the board game version better.

I made much better choices.:P

[tigereye]

68. I can't imagine playing that stoned

I tend to associate board games with sobriety.... ;)

[LaraMN]

95. It was either that or Monopoly-- and nobody wanted to attempt "banking"

while under the influence.

[Heidi]

40. I'm surprised no one said "bong water."

I didn't drink it, but I knew a guy or two who did. :puke:

[Shine]

45. OMG, that's hysterical!!

Ewwwww!!! BONG water?!? Too funny...

~Shine

[LaraMN]

48. Gross! That's kind of like swallowing chew.

:puke: indeed.

[Egalitariat]

103. That's awful****

nm

[Egalitariat]

104. That's awful****

[seemunkee]

42. Sloe Gin fizzes in High school, Slurpees with rum in college

Cheap ass pina colada or frozen rum and coke if that is all the 7-11 had.

[flvegan]

43. Rumple Minze and Hunch Punch

Hunch Punch:

1. Find and clean large trash barrel;
2. Insert liner;
3. Put in dorm shower stall, fill 3/4 with water;
4. Mix in 2 tubs of Kool-Aid, Tang, whatever;
5. Pour in copious amounts of Everclear;
6. Drop in 2 bricks of dry ice;
7. Enjoy.

My dormmates and I were very popular.

[Patiod]

44. Rolling Rock ponies by the case. Guess where I went to school?

Hint: also IC Light.
(These are two of the worst beers ever made.)

[tigereye]

64. Rolling Rock is not that bad

IC is, IMO ( and I live in Pgh.) but sheesh. There are far worse beers than Rolling Rock. And I'm kind of a beer snob. I love those "baby beers, " as I call them.

What are you comparing it to, pray tell. ;)

[AlCzervik]

50. Hefenrefer beer---Green death

[ernstbass]

52. It would be quicker to tell you what I didn't drink!!

[LaraMN]

53. At least you're thorough!

:rofl:

[kwassa]

56. Boone's Farm Apple Wine

[DrZeeLit]

97. Yipppppeeeee! Somebody else with GREAT taste.

Wasn't a strawberry version available?

Those were the good ol' days!

.....not?

[Bassic]

57. A buddy of mine's parents had a bar with alcohols from

around the world. One night, on a party turned awry we raided said bar. So you name it, I drank it.

[Fox Mulder]

58. The Beast:

I still drink it.

[tigereye]

71. oh but why!!????

sorry. Reformed crap drinker here. ;)

All I drink now is stuff like this....

[Deep13]

60. Southern freakin' Comfort

bleck! How can anyone drink that sweet shit?

[mwdem]

62. Purple Jesus?

All I know it was mixed in (new, clean) garbage cans, I just never got the recipe.

[TrogL]

63. Purple Jesus

Grape Juice and grain alcohol mixed in a dirty bathtub.

[mwdem]

67. Shit! No wonder I never got the recipe!!

On edit...wasn't there fruit involved? God, I hope so.

[TrogL]

74. No. Definitely no fruit

OK, well I'd had a bath in the bathtub earlier. Does that count?

[mwdem]

76. Ewwwww!

Well, maybe...but I seem to remember fruit...

[graywarrior]

65. Thunderbird, baby. Guaranteed to make you puke for days after

[ghostsofgiants]

66. Let's see...

A lot of this...


A lot of this...


Some of this...


And the occasional...
or

Yeah, I'm hardcore, haha.

[Dr Fate]

73. A drank a lot of Jim Beam in high-school- that shit stinks.

Now John Daniels- that is tasty stuff.

[blindpig]

75. I was a connoisseur of cheapness

So many evil memories........

*Twister- a fortified PEPPERMINT flavored wine. The winos in Fells Point(that long ago) refused it out of hand.

Arriba- Like Richard's but worse.

Horlachers beer_ Penguin Piss

Mad Dog 20-20-nuff said

Can't stand to think about it anymore.

[msanthrope]

80. Peach Schnapps.

One time, as a freshman, I drank a whole bottle.....

next day I puked until I puked BILE.....

[HEyHEY]

83. THe staple of the poor student in the Maritimes

[Borgnine]

84. I've got everyone beat.

Just the other week, while piss ass drunk with my friends, I threw some rum, vodka, and beer in a blender, and to top it off, a piece of bread. I called it a bread smoothie, as my rationale was that putting bread in the alcohol would somehow reduce the effects of said alcohol.

Never drink a bread smoothie.

[HEyHEY]

86. Oh, in that case....$5 brandy and pepsi

[LaraMN]

87. Oh shit!!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Are you sure you were *just* drinking?

[Egalitariat]

105. I used to eat bread b/c I thought it absorbed the alcohol***

nm

[Egalitariat]

106. I used to eat bread b/c I thought it absorbed the alcohol***

[Earth_First]

88. ICEHOUSE!

30 pack cubes for 11.00 including tax/deposit!

Couldn't beat it then.
Couldn't get me to drink it again now.

[Lilyhoney]

89. I don't remember. nt

[CatholicEdHead]

91. Stite Light Lager

I would post a bottle image if the website was not flash.

http://www.stite.com/

[no name no slogan]

92. Schell's Deer Brand

I went to college fifteen miles away from the brewery. You could get a case of 24 returnables for $6, back in the late 80s.

It's funny, because I saw the same beer on the menu at a snooty wine bar in the UK for £3 a bottle when I lived there in the early 90s. :wtf:

[CatholicEdHead]

102. Schell's Pale Ale is the worst they make now

Most of the others are decent, yet Wisconsin beers still tend to outperform.

[bleedingheart]

93. Slivovitz

it is just plain rough...

My uncle who is a veteran of drinking will shudder at the thought of downing a shot of it. I for some reason can drink it but it is rough...

[Hotler]

94. Harvey Walbangers....n/t

[Ladyhawk]

98. I was raised fundy and never had even a sip of alcohol until my

21st birthday. I drank a wine cooler. Later, my mother found out I had been drinking alcohol and read me the riot act.

I missed out on a helluva lot of fun.

[CanuckAmok]

99. Rumpleminz.

And this Canadian Forces breakfast of champions:

[MarianJack]

100. In College (class of '77) I Actually Had TASTE!

In the late 80's (I sobered up in 1990. Unlike somebody we know and "love", I've STAYED sober) I was drinking an absolute PISS WATER called "Stegmeier Light".

I was at the point where quantity mattered more than quality and a case of that cost less than a six-pack of "Michelob"!

Also, in grad school at my 1 semester at the University of Dayton in the fll of '78 (and also because it was cheap), I tried "Robin Hood Cream Ale" once. ONCE!

[Scooter24]

108. I'm still in college

and absolutely love this stuff-
