Another user commented, "how we as a generation didn't collectively die of sepsis is amazing."

Because you're neither particularly interesting nor daring, and you do things like pre-mix your watered-down drinks in milk jugs before a party. That's why.

I'm not averse to the idea, always nice to have your own source of alcohol, but I see a few drawbacks. One, you're walking around mingling with a huge gallon container. Two, this is more expensive then chipping in a couple of bucks for a keg. Three, kegs are easier for most students than obtaining hard alcohol. A lot of kids don't have fake IDs are dependent on good, old-fashioned, keg parties for alcohol.

Curb Ball. When I was a kid there was the game kids played called curb ball. It involved players standing on opposite sides of the street and throw a ball across the street and trying to make it bounce back off of the curb. There was a whole point system and everything. But anyway, every neighborhood I have ever been in, the kids all thought their neighborhood invented it.

Yeah i was thinking about that as well but it kinda depends on what vodka you use. No real way to tell without a hydrometer but they said it was a 50/50 mix with water so Im guessing its about as potent as a high powered beer / malt liquor. As far as the hangover proof thing... I'm seeing how the water , to prevent dehydration from the alcohol, and electrolytes could help lessen one but unless they are mixing a high end vodka in, which is low in surfactants, you are still gonna have a hangover. Thats why running a cheap booze through a Britta filter makes it better because it removes some of those surfactants that cause you to feel like shiat the next day.
Pro tip young guys:
Buy better quality booze and dont water the shiat down. You will enjoy it more and you wont feel like poo the next AM. If you are worried about drinking full strength booze, 1) learn some control which is easy when you actually enjoy what you are drinking, and 2) yeah... nah just go with rule 1. It will serve you well later in life. Anything under 45 bucks a bottle should be sus to you.

When I was a young boozehound we did our mixing with Everclear. Now as a old boozehound Everclear is a damned fine base for some homemade mason jar specials. Add some apple juice in the right blend and a cinnamon stick and it is a very nice 85 to 90 proof apple pie. 85 to 90 proof requires using the 120 proof bottle and not the 190.

So the only things relatively new (stuff we didn't have in the late 90s/early 2000s) to this formula are the caffeinated flavor booster and a handheld hitchhikers' guide where you can find all sorts of little tricks to soup up your 8th floor hooch.

No, see. These are a good idea.

It controls the person's drink. Limits their ability to get roofied. They're staying hydrated. They know exactly what's in their drink.

It's better than the goddamn jungle punch that has gods only know what in it.

That whole article is stupid. They keep talking about Harm Reduction in only one context: Getting raped. They aren't considering any other physical, mental, and social harm that comes from drinking. They vaguely mention not having a hangover but then it's right back into "carry your own booze so someone doesn't slip you a roofie and rape you" talk, which is great and all, but let's maybe address the idea that you don't need to get drunk at college parties at all.  Some of us managed it. It is possible to have a good time in your 20s and not wake up in a puddle of your own puke because you binge-drank your way into oblivion. It is possible to have fun without being wasted.

If you're walking around with a milk jug full of vodka, water, and Kool-Aid, that's a good sign that you're going to have a drinking problem in your adult life. Most people don't need a jug of booze to get through each day of the weekend. Also, it's funny how white girls walking around with this borg are just "practicing harm reduction" but a black student with a bottle of purple drank / lean is a miscreant and gets preached at about substance abuse by the media.

I think this whole "harm reduction" angle is a load of bullshiat. It's a way for people to justify getting blotto on a half-gallon of booze while saying they're being "responsible." Want actual harm reduction? Don't get drunk at all.

Purplesaurus is an awesome mixer!

The color-changing flavors were good too. Probably not very toxic even.

I usually buy powdered gatorade and keep a sports bottle mixed and in the fridge, sometimes with a little shot of Mio Energy added to it if the mood strikes. Pouring some of that into a glass with ice and adding a shot or two of vodak is not an everyday or even every week thing for me, but when I do its not a bad little cocktail. Taking that to the binge extremes seems like a recipe for alcohol poisoning.
