Alcohol for my party tomorrow

[ QUOTE ]
is anyone bringing their own stuff? if not, there's no way this'll be enough

what's with the red bull? do people actually drink it with liquor?

[/ QUOTE ]

The kids love the Red Bull, they usually mix it w/ vodka or the aforementioned Jaeger bomb ( Jaeger + Red Bull). It keeps them awake and drunk longer so you can get into all sorts of druken trouble when you would have been passed out. Quite clever, actually.

what's in red bull? I've never had it.

Didnt read through the thread so apologies if somebody mentioned this but maybe some tonic, club soda, and roses lime juice. the girls will probably want something to mix the vodka with. throw in a bottle of gin too.

Its an energy drink w/ loads of caffeine and herbal extracts that act as stimulants. Its basically liquid Vivarin / No-Doz. It tastes awful at first but you get used to it.

Call me a loser, FMP to call me something else, whatever, but I've never hosted a party at my place before and I'm not sure what/how much stuff to get. I have about $150 to spend and am expecting 20-30 people. Here's the list:

150 Stones (Keystone Ice)
2 handles Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum
24 pack Wegmans cola
2 bottles Jagermeister
12 pack Red Bull
1 bottle Smirnoff Twist (for the ladies)
6 bottles Boone's Farm Wine (assorted flavors)

Having leftovers is not a problem. Thoughts?

Also you should go to a discount beverage center (if there are any in your area) for the beer and cola /red bull. Its cheaper than a supermarket or 7/11.

What's up with the Boone's Farm haters? The stuff is cheap and the girls love it. Get more!

why do people use the word "floaters" to describe half-full beers? I always preferred the term "wounded soldiers"

I concur. The phrase "floater" indicates a certain type of fecal dropping to me...

A wounded soldier reminds me of dead young men in camoflauge.

I'll stick with floater.

OK. You are on a budget, so let's take that into consideration. First thing I'd do is try to get a couple of buddies to pitch in and host the party with you. And when you send out invites, you can say something like "we'll have xxx, if you want to bring something extra, that's cool."

People have already said more beer.

12 pack Red Bull - Red Bull is kinda pricey, and this is not much anyway, so just skip it.

6 bottles Boone's Farm Wine (assorted flavors) - this is a fun thing to have as like a novelty item, but not necessary and you're on a budget, so skip it.

If you were older, I'd suggest some real wine or those Smirnoff Ice/Bacardi Silver/whatever type drinks for chicks. But you are in school and on a tight budget. Chicks drink beer. Don't worry about the other stuff.
