Those guys were amateurs. At Dartmouth, those quantities for 55 people would be the pre-drinking drinks before the real drinking got underway – just to clear the throat, you know.
Right. Big Green pussies go by that name because they turn green after 5 drinks…and puke their guts out…

Notably absent from the bar tab was the copious quantities of “marihuana cigarettes” (a.k.a. “reefer”). It is speculated that this is because many of the Founding Fathers grew their own hemp, and would be shocked and appalled to learned that such a fine substance had been outlawed and no longer cost “a shilling a dozen”.

I always thought the number one guy in history that I would love to party with was Ben Franklin.
At least with old Ben you knew there would be lots of women there.
The real ‘father of our country?’

Ernest Hemingway would be a distant second.

In 1787 your going away prize was a hell of a party. In 2017 your going away prize is a $40M book deal for a book you won’t actually author, free travel to anywhere you want to go and a few $million a year giving speeches you didn’t write to people you don’t like on subjects you know nothing about. No wonder politicians spend hundreds of millions of other people’s money to get elected.
Ain’t no elections w\o studio audiences voting when the clap & laugh track stimulates those massed salivary glands.
But, if no glands went along with pavlov, not one single thing would be different. The mafia would just dispense with kabuki theater & install – just as now, but w\o the pretense & charade – evil banals.

I’ve had lots of heavy drinking parties, with heavy drinking company, before I joined AA. But that list of juice for 55 ?? NOT POSSIBLE TO SURVIVE. Shows they were padding bills even back then in high company.
Who picked up the tab?
For that matter, who picked up the partyers?
Man… wine hangovers were the worst. I only did that twice.
In related & similar news: $37 screws, a $7,622 coffee maker, $640 toilet seats.
Screws are the point of nationstate gov brews.
Sounds like my kind of people …
Fortunately nobody brought a bottle of Peppermint Schnapps. They might have ceded everything back to King George.
Eagles Fans?
Eagles fan eats horse poop – says a lot about PA residents

It’s filled with nutrients.
Eagles Victory got me a day off from work. Parade is virtually shutting down the city tomorrow. Suck it.
Just don’t eat too much poop.
A shit-eatin’ Joisey transplant, no doubt.
Finished it all off with a big ritual orgy
And perhaps a quick game of (dare I say it?)

Only 8 bottles of whiskey. Apparently too few Irish and Scottish lads.
Bob.
I bet they were very large bottles
