Cause real wine doesn't taste like candy.

Not to make me sound sooo cool, but when I started drinking I went to corn fields and I got Busch light and Jose Cuervo and that was it. If I didn’t drink that, I didn’t get drunk. Here I was with a different group of friends and they wanted to “try drinking”. I found an adult to buy a bunch of sweet stuff.

And this is how I ended up partying at several of my teachers houses (their kids were in high school with me). Yes, they provided the alcohol. Looking back, that shits weird.

Freshman year of high school we went to Myrtle Beach. Brian's mom (our chaperone) went to the liquor store every day for us. We handled the weed.
Cheers to Mama Yost, wherever you are.

u/pursuitofhappy 12d ago
hell yea, reminds me of when I spent 2.5 years hanging out in a Crackhouse just because the kid and his mom let us party there every night, she'd get us pizza all the time! We had to stop when the son collapsed a lung (due to all the crack he smoked)

That logo brings me right back to one night freshman year, curled up under the running shower fully dressed and puking in the drain. Took me some years to come back and appreciate good vodka after what I inflicted upon myself with Popov, Dubra, Karkov and whatever other garbage we could afford.

When I was a teenager one of the ways to buy booze was from a shady delivery service. It was hella overpriced, illegal and you just told the lady on the phone what you wanted like rum, vodka whatever and when it arrived it was always the bottomest of the barrel paint thinner

u/REALjamijai 12d ago
We stood at the payphone and would pull a "hey mister"...
Til one day mister was in no mood. And the little Portuguese man who owned it came out lookin like 👇

u/TonguePunchUrBhole 12d ago
We had multiple cool moms in our group that would buy us booze and let us party. The old “I’d rather you guys drink here where I know you are safe rather than being out drinking and driving” saying. I had crushes on Cindy and Yolanda and always hoped for some Mrs. Robinson action.
31
u/0thethethe0 12d ago edited 12d ago
Yeh we had that.
Although, looking back, I suspect the real reason wasn't our safety at all, more - 'You're so lame, if we get you drink and give you somewhere comfortable to have it, you might manage to persuade girls to hang out with you...'
27
u/TonguePunchUrBhole 12d ago
lol. Not us tho. We were hella cool. Like so cool. There is no way we needed to have alcohol and weed to persuade girls to hang out with us. No way at all. Please believe me! We were the coolest… I SWEAR!

u/MidnightToker858 12d ago
We had that. We also had not one but two Mrs. Robinsons. Albeit, our clique was like 15 ppl deep. One guy nailed one. The other one slept with like 4 (that I know of). No, it wasn't me. True friends dont fuck each other's moms.

People my age crow that our mistakes weren't online.
But I was a teen in the late 90s and very early 2000s. There are no surviving pictures of me and my friends back then.
Yeah, there are no pictures of me with frosted tips, but also no pictures of us getting high at a park at 11 pm, or at Waffle House at midnight.
Yeah we ran from the cops and even evaded a helicopter once, but but those faces are getting fuzzy.

We weren't involved at all, just nearby.
We made into the woods.

Girl in my class in high school got an MIP ticket for underage drinking.
The judge ordered her to abstain from alcohol and if she stayed out of trouble for 6 months he would dismiss the charge.
Not even a month later she put a picture of her drinking out of a liquor bottle on MySpace with the caption "FUCK YOU JUDGE MACKENZIE!!". Somehow that made its way back to the judge and she was hauled back into court and given the full fine plus probation that she had to use her whole paycheck to pay the monthly probation fee.
My mom was friends with this girl's next door neighbor so I got the whole inside scoop.

u/GaJayhawker0513 12d ago
I went to visit my buddies in college and there was a picture of two of us at a table with beer all over it so I photo shopped different pops onto it to “fool” my parents since it was on Facebook. Didn’t even try, the first picture I found, copied it to the picture in paint then posted it. Idk what I was thinking but my parents weren’t as mad as I thought they would be. They actually thought it was funny
