a hangover-proof party staple.??

It sounds more like you are going to have a lot of wide-awake drunks who need to take a dump.

Not good in a house with a limited number of johnny-flushers.

That’s what we had, too. Is it just me, or do college kids seem to binge drink more than we did back in the day? It doesn’t seem like raising the age to 21 helped very much. In my mind, it has hurt more than it has helped.

Back in my day we didn't have any fancy-schmancy drinks. We had "Trashcan Parties" where everyone brought a bottle of something and poured it into the trashcan, then we all dipped our cups into it.

And we liked it!

“half vodka”

Damn, today’s kids are way too rich. We had Everclear back in ‘69-’73. I can’t remember what we cut it with...it’s all a blur. At least I THINK we cut it with Coke or Pepsi or something.

We threw big blocks of dry ice into our trash cans for great special effects.

“We called it purple passion in my college years and it was made with grain alcohol and grape juice”

Down there in North Cackalacky purple passion was known as either passion juice or Purple Jesus. Cans of differing fruit juices, Everclear, canned fruit, mixed in an ice chest cooler. A real Hawaiian Punch... drank outside by bonfires.

I made margaritas this past holiday season with sugar free lemon flavored electrolyte drink mix trying to stay vaguely keto.

It was quite good and did seem to eliminate after effects. My adult children were shocked as they tend to forget that the ‘rents are human.

When I went off to college I had no idea that alcohol existed. Never anything like that mentioned through the whole term. It had never entered my mind that anyone I knew would drink such a thing.

IMHO:

All FReepers should abstain from posting anything whatsoever pertaining to TIKTOK feeds.

Every post drives clicks. Some of you clicked. You know you did, including OP.

It has to start somewhere, sometime.

Cease posting TIKTOK garbage and clicking on them at home; it feeds the monster.
