Beer and T Shirt Party

Published by Tom at 5:13 pm under Ramblings, Uncategorized

I was reading an article on the news about Beer Garden Party now being allowed for Halloween in Athens, OH. It is an open air beer party. This brought back memories from my younger years.

When I was around twenty, a local frat house had a wild Halloween beer party for all the college kids and their friends. It was a blast. They had a wet t shirt contest and the top three winners got to give away their t shirt brand to some lucky guys.

All of the t shirts were donated from the local beer house. The top winner gave away four Captain Morgan t shirts. The catch was, the guys who won the t shirts had to do shots of whatever brand was on the shirt. I wanted to do shots of Captain Morgan rum but I ended up in the group that won Miller Lite t shirts. It was cool and I got wasted. That was the days when drinking was fun and no one got carried away.

The only problem we had was a few guys who won the Jack Daniels t shirts got really drunk and puked all over the dean’s car. That was a mess and some of my frat friends got in trouble for it. Luckily the dean was cool and all he did was made them wash and wax his car.

Those were the days when as long as you kept the parties under control, nobody gave you any trouble. I remember quite a few wild beer parties from back in those days. I am not sure why that news story brought all the memories back but I am glad to share my story with you.
