    Long Island Iced Tea.

    It's not the most obvious answer and it doesn't really work in the dorm environment when supplies are dwindling but hear me out... Whenever I am feeling sad and desperate to get drunk while out on the town it is the absolute best way to go since:

    1. No bartender alive knows how to make one without putting way too much alcohol in it since it's composed of mostly 40% liquors with just a splash of cola.
    2. They typically have to serve it in full sized beverage glasses since no tiny cocktail or even typical half-glasses used for other mixed drinks are sufficient to hold this bad boy, even if they only do 1oz of each liquor (which nobody ever does).
    3. Bars and restaurant always seriously undercharge for them since they usually just price them the same as regular rum+coke style mixed drinks despite it having mostly liquor in it.
    4. Everyone recognizes the name but few people realize how wasted drinking them will get you so nobody, not even the bartenders or waitstaff, thinks you're a pathetic drunk for ordering a couple of them (even though you are).

    ViolĂ ! The absolute epitome of sad & desperate but also dirt cheap, on the down-low and yet somehow tastes amazing despite the fact it's basically a giant glass of 80-proof alcohol. It's perfect! ;)

    One time I tried Kroger brand orange pop and Seagram's whiskey. I had been told that it would be bad, but I was so curious! It was bad.

      I feel like this is what you turn to when you have no options and a volcano ate your house with all your belongings.

      haha, do you drink the beer with the warheads in your mouth, or do you drop them in and stir until they dissolve and the beer is totally flat?

        Preferably let them dissolve in the beer while it's warming in the sun, but I'll leave the experimentation up to you lol

    I think my worst idea in college was to mix cheap vodka and chocolate syrup to make a black Russian while I was playing games. It tasted as bad as the thrashings I received in StarCraft that night.
