Leave it to Americans to make it smaller and to ergonomically fit in your hand. Now if they would just include a straw.

Part of the fun was the bathroom breaks, begging people to unzip you. Never with Steel Reserve, though. We would always go with Mickey's, or if we were desperate, 8-balls. Growing up in Texas, I think it was a requirement to not ID kids buying Olde English. You left out some of the classics of po' booze: Thunderbird (!!!!) - imagine if mad dog had a paint thinner berry flavor. It has a drunk that doesn't hit you until the bottle is done, and it is all but undrinkable. Night Train - imagine if your Mad Dog flavor spoiled. Still, it is leaps and bounds better tasting than Thunderbird. One of the depressing feeling buzzes, too. You're not drunk off of it, you just feel tired and dirty. Cisco - I have never personally tried it, but I have heard nothing but horrible stories. A friend of mine called it meth kool-aid. Sounds like it would be worth your time and a followup article.

For those that don't know, it involves duct taping two 40's to your hands, uncapping BOTH, and chugging your life away. No bathroom breaks are allowed, and you can't be freed from your 40 oz. handcuffs until you have finished both. Ahhhhhhhh, sweet, sweet college. @MKO

I totally see where you're coming from...but I still respectfully disagree. When I've broken up with someone, and they pounce into a new relationship right away, I immediately see it as the move of a cornered animal. If anything, it makes me think they still have feelings for me. They clearly jumped right into a new boyfriend to dull the throbbing pain of being without the Bowz. And believe me, the pain of Bowzer withdrawal is excruciating (I'm pretty sure I read this on Wikipedia somewhere). Casual banging allows you to claim you are over the old girlfriend, without the whole "I'm just doing this to get back at you" thing (which I know, is the whole point, but she can't know that) . As Elie Wiesel once said, "The opposite of love is not hate, but indifference." A new relationship so soon after a breakup just screams "spite" to me. @Betty

A feat rarely accomplished, never remembered, and greatly regretted. I remember the time one of my friends downed almost three. I miss Mike. Nah, but seriously, that is some dumb bad drunk.

This is for sure one of my favorites. Only point I would have to disagree with you on is the "bang a new girl" point. Yes, yes, banging a new girl will win you breakup points. However, the new girlfriend stings way worse. We know guys are dogs and will sleep around, and we don't see a rogue ho you slept with as taking our place. But a new gf, OUCH! Just my opinion.
