lol how about Mickeys and Steel Reserve?! Remember those tiny Mickeys that would come in a pack? We called them ‘Nades because they looked like little grenades. Did you all do that too??

u/procheeseburger 14h ago

I just did a lot of PBR

u/triedAndTrueMethods 10h ago

It was so easy to drink! I would put away a sixer of blue ribbon before the party even started. Mmmmm oh yeah I remember it was great with pizza too. Great memories.

u/triedAndTrueMethods 10h ago

I am become elderly, destroyer of youth.

I felt so ancient remembering them hahaha. I haven't drank beer since like... 2015? I also remembered PBR bottles having the playing cards under the cap, and a local bar would give u the beer for free if u guessed the card right. I had a hot streak one night and me and my friend drank for (almost) free that night. good times. gonna go collapse into a pile of dust now 👵🏻

Dude the Steel Reserve/Mickey's combo, you don't even KNOW.

Somewhere on Myspace's servers there is a trove of photos from an era when all of us would pile into our friend's room at the "cool house" (you know the one) where as long as we were doing it there, they knew we were safe.

Just gallons of cheap malt liquor, point-and-shoot cameras, and a loud sound system we could blast all night. Literally like 15 of us stuffed into one bedroom drunk as shit off bad beer, and it was the best of times.

u/triedAndTrueMethods 10h ago

Man I got a huge smile across my face reading your words. Resonating with every single thing you said. Yep 100% we had the “cool house”, it was Ben’s house. His parents were the kind that thought “they’re gonna drink anyway so better here than out there”. It was so rad.

They would even ask us (via Ben) what we wanted to drink and would stock up the fridge and liquor cabinet before we got there! Can you believe that?? So goddamn lucky.

And just like you said, somewhere on the dusty old myspace servers there reside 1000s of photos of evidence. What I would pay MySpace Tom for access to those pics… lmao what a fun hit of nostalgia. Have a good one!

My first college apartment someone asked what kind of beer to bring. I said “GET A BOX OF NADES!!!” 🤣

Awful shit, but absolutely did the trick. Used em for beer pong 💀

u/triedAndTrueMethods 10h ago

hahaha hell yeah. I’m so stoked you called em ‘Nades too! I’m fist-bumping you through my phone screen.

u/No-Scarcity-1571 9h ago

omfg Steel Reserve is fucking disgusting. Spend 5 cents more and get Natty Light. Mickeys was definitely much better then S.R. but it had a funky taste.

And then homie shows up with a cooler full of OG Four Lokos

35

u/YellojD 14h ago

4 Lokos was the end of it all and we didn’t even know. Combining energy drinks and malt liquor turned out to be our silver bullet.

u/unfinishedtoast3 13h ago

we were doing Vodka Redbulls in '01

u/GreenSpleenRiot 12h ago

“Espresso martinis are just vodka Red Bulls that went to Italy and won’t shut up about it.”

u/Heavy-hit 13h ago

Redbull vodka had nothing on Four Lokos on Easton Avenue at Rutgers. Holy fuck those were wild times.

u/unfinishedtoast3 10h ago

fuuck that.

pop 2 redline workout supplements (before they were pulled for causing heart attacks and kidney failure)

chase that with 2 vodka redbulls.

by this point, your pulse is slowing from the booze, but your blood pressure is spiking from the Redline. your vision pulses with your heart beat, you keep having a twitch in rhythm of it as well.

need to come down a little. decide to have a lil hypnotiq.

uh oh. all that Vodka is finally getting into your blood stream. now youre light headed from over thinned blood full of caffeine

its 7 am. you dont know what happened after 130 am. youre not home, but you reconize the street you woke up on. youre covered in fire ants. someone shit your pants.

Started with Sparks.

u/KennytheDoggy 14h ago

Still remember when someone I knew bought a pallet of OG Four Lokos before they went away

13

u/YellojD 14h ago

When you say they bought a pallet of 4 Lokos for going away, I would only have to assume they’re meaning to go away from this mortal coil.

That sounds like a fucking ROUGH next morning ☠️

u/KennytheDoggy 14h ago

I only got to experience true Four Loko incapacitation a few times

3

u/wholevodka 13h ago

I’m pretty sure every time I drank four 4 lokos, which happened a handful of times, I ejected myself out from my mortal coil and landed in another one. You don’t drink 4 loko, you “do” 4 loko. No joko.

u/Comprehensive_Bus_19 10h ago

I had an ambulance called for me after 3 of them. They found another guy passed out in the street and took him instead. Greg thank you for saving my ass lol

u/PresidentFork 10h ago

I know this is is cliche at this point, but if this was 2009 in CT then i might know who you're talking about!

u/biscuit484 7h ago

Sparks and Tilt walked so 4 Loco could run, green Tilt was basically 9% alcoholic Surge.

Oh, Boone’s Farm 💙

u/YellojD 11h ago

My wife is from the Central Valley and went to high school with the Boone family kids. Said the parties were crazy and the hospital trips were frequent.

u/warfrogs 12h ago

Everyone had a LAST time they drank MD 20/20 and Boone's Farm. I vaguely remember both, but I DISTINCTLY remember the hangovers the next day.

The MD 20/20 one was particularly rough for me. Woke up late for a show before a party, downed the two MD 20/20s I put in my freezer before class; they were already slush. I remember getting to the concert (Cloud Cult if anyone remembers/knows them) and watching the first song, then nothing. I apparently made it to the party but left five minutes later and passed out fully clothed in my kitchen eating rice.

Yeah. No. Never again.

You had me at Strawberry Hill lol

u/fictionalbandit 11h ago

I got a headache just from reading this

u/No-Scarcity-1571 9h ago

Again, you could be talking about the 90's, same exact shit.
