The most mayhem I ever saw with a drinking vessel was 3 watermelons, a drill, and 3 handles of everclear on a 95 degree day in Starkville.


I'm curious how that worked, mainly the physics of it. Watermelons don't have a ton of air in them, so there's nowhere for the liquid you're adding to go inside that melon. So my question is, did you cut out a lot of watermelon material? Somehow pour out watermelon juice and replace with vodka? Because suggesting that you can fit an entire handle of liquid inside an already full watermelon sounds physically impossible.

Also how did you consume it? If you just drilled a hole in the watermelon, aside from the issue above with getting the vodka in there, I don't see how you'd get much else out other than maybe a little watermelon juice when turning it upside down.

The first beer I remember drinking was a Buckhorn from a can with a pull tab. I was 5, lol.

I’m probably the only person in here who drank this stuff, but St Ides Special Brew would get me right for cheap. It was 6%ABV and had different flavors. I struggled to drink regular beer back in my early adult life.

I remember buying Red White & Blue at the beach for $4.00 for a case!

In high school I was known to drink Bartles and Jaymes. I did get made fun of occasionally.

Over 60 + years ago in Los Angeles there was a brewery right off the 5 fwy called 102. Beer was bad but pretty cheap. It was about 2 miles from The Grand Olympic Auditorium. It was used during the 32 Olympics for boxing, wrestling and weight lifting.

My best friends dad was a LAPD officer and patrolled the area. One night a car went speeding down Grand Ave and hm and his partner pulled it over. Asked the driver for license, and why he was going so fast. Said he was going to the Olympic. He recognized him as a wrestler and said aren't you Mr XXX? And his passenger was another wrestler. Driver said we are wrestling each other tonight and we are late.

And all those years as a kid I thought it was real.

B&J was 80's High Noon.

Fun story. My son, now 18, got drunk for the first time when he was 11 years old. Dad of the Year, right? No. He and his sister and older brother went out to Colorado to stay with my wife's brother for a week that summer. About a week or two after they got back, my wife's brother called and said he found a couple of empty High Noons, or some equivalent drink to those, hidden in a corner back behind one of his couches downstairs. That is where my kids had stayed while there. He said one of the kids must have drank them. Well, we immediately thought of the older brother who was 14 at the time. We went and grilled him hard. We knew he did it. He kept denying it and we told him he better tell us the truth. He would not back down. We were mad at him for days.

Few days later out youngest, the 11-year old, comes to us and can't stand the guilt anymore and admits it was him. We were shocked. He said he found them in the downstairs fridge and thought they were some kind of canned fruit soda. He was not lying. He had not been exposed to those things as we drink real beer and liquor at my house. He said after he finished the second one he felt really funny and took a closer look at the can and saw it had alcohol. He said they threw him for a loop and he wouldn't do that again.

Yeah, I bet

Me at a frat party in 1995. “You two pusses can’t pick me up to do a keg stand.

My two buddies agree. Then 2 random meatheads walk in about 19 years old and appeared to have been powerlifters in high school. Me: “shite!!!”

No it wasn't.... Not even close...

Closer to White Claws...

High Noons are basically flavored vodka and sodas...

Wine coolers were made with white wine and fruit juice with club soda added.... Much sweeter, and they were fricking gross...
