Help! 70's Drinking question....

[mlyonsd]

We're hanging out tonight with some old friends and trying to remember the name of a drink from the 70's (probably even later)....

What was the name used for a drink when you were at a party in HS that evolved from everyone dropping in what they brought. Usually in a large container that everyone then poured from.

The usual ingredients were Everclear, Slow Gin, and then whatever came along afterwards.

HELP, we're 4 drunken hippies trying to remember our youth. :deevee:

[mlyonsd]

I'm guessing Bob Dole would know if he was on the planet tonight.

[KcMizzou]

spoli? (spo-lee)

I have no idea how you'd spell it. I'm not sure it's even a real word.

[jspchief]

Jungle juice?

[Bob Dole]

Jungle Juice?

Bob Dole is my bitch.

[PastorMikH]

We used to call sodas that were a mix of everything Graveyards. Don't know if it was used for alcohol or not.

[Bob Dole]

We called those Suicides.

[KcMizzou]

It is either Jungle Juice, Trash Can Punch or Bath Tub Speed, or it could be urine

[Skip Towne]

Yep, suicides. Even in the 60's.

[mlyonsd]

Thanks guys....you've given two that we remember were probably both used....jungle juice and trash can punch.

I knew I could count on you. What a swell bunch of guys. Next time I'm in your area I'll be glad to buy a round.

[Skip Towne]

We made "Purple Passion" in trash cans. Everclear and grape juice.

[Luzap]

Yep, Purple Passion (originally credited to the K State Coeds.

At Wichita State, when we used a base other than grape cool aid, we called it Moose Juice.

Luz

Same here. I used to really like them when I was a kid. Sure wouldn't drink that crap now, though. Yuck.

spolioli.thats what we called some concoction of grain,vodka, southern comfort, some type of fruit juice, and lots of real fruit. wasn't one of my favorites though.

By the 80s, it had become Jungle Juice/Purple Passion.

I volunteered in a haunted house once. (It was a blast, btw) We had a hidden room where we kept a 5 gallon cooler full of spoli. We dubbed it "Haunted Hooch".

[mlyonsd]

Now I gotta go hit it.

[Skip Towne]

I hope you have to sleep on the wet spot.

Nah, there won't be one

If he drinks that stuff, EVERY place he sleeps will be a wet spot...

[Mr. Kotter]

I hope you have to sleep on the wet spot.

Eh, you are just longing for the day that a wet spot in your bed wouldn't be from a colostomy bag. :p

We called it swamp water.

Had it a few times in college,tasted like kool-aid and it went down just as easy.It was only when I got up to walk that my legs went to instant rubber.The real fruit was good,once it had soaked for awhile.

[phisherman]

i only went to school in the 90's, but we called it panty remover

[stumppy]

I always mixed 1 pint Everclear, 2- 32 oz. bottles of 7up, 2 oranges, 1 lemon, 1 lime, and some ice.

Hunch Punch.



A few cups of that and you were ready to fight, ****, or wrestle.

[Bob Dole]

We called it swamp water.

Hate to break it to you, but that was actual swamp water.

[CanadaKC]

boat gas

[Oxford]

Did this in Thailand -- Everclear, Grape Kool-aid and quartered oranges and grapefruit, mixed in a properly sterized galvanized tashcan. The result is Purple Jesus, or PJ.

[StcChief]

'Purple Passion' with Oranges, grapefruits floating
in trashcan lined.

Ha ha, a lot of bad memories just came flooding back to me.

One thing is apparent. Our generation was very creative.
