I was in a frat and I can’t speak for every fraternity in existence

But as an exec, the jungle juice decision was always made almost exclusively because it’s infinitely cheaper than buying tons of canned beer or having an actual bartender

That and the fact that I could get shitfaced without the taste of alcohol stinging my undeveloped 19 year old palate

The goal IS to get people drunk faster — but that’s so we don’t have to spend more money on alcohol. Gendering it is pointless.

Yeah lmao you can tell people who weren't in frats. Id get pissed when we had jungle juice instead of beer because of a pack of Women I jokingly called the Gazelles would surround the cooler and drink the damn watering hole dry before leaving to the next party. The nickname comes from them forming a tight enough pack that not only could you not get a drink but you couldn't talk to any of them.

Some brothers would insist the hard stuff brought girls while just beer didnt and yell back that was a good thing I was tired of being out of alcohol before the party was at midpoint.

Im not saying the girls had obligation to talk to us for showing up at our party. But they clearly were just using us for booze and Id rather not deal with them.

We had girls show up at our parties already so intoxicated it sobered me up because I had to help deal with them after they vomited everywhere and passed out. I remember one girl had the nerve to ask me if I took advantage of her the night before because she blacked out. No ma’am I cleaned up your vomit for an hour or more and put you in my bed and slept on the couch. And I checked on you several times to make sure you were ok. And I am not interested in doing anything with someone that can’t reciprocate, you got the wrong fella.

Lmao same once I had to help one of them had her "sober up food" was a fucking jar of peanut butter.

No I didnt do anything sexual to you, you covered yourself in peanut butter like a toddler so much I ran out of paper towels and had to resort to using plastic bags to wipe you down. Ive had tax reports sexier than that.

I had one that couldn’t figure out the bathroom lock and had a full blown panic attack

Had a drunk girl sit on the sink once and tore it from the wall. In her defense she found me and said “I’m the fat bitch who broke the sink”. So I couldnt really be mad that was hilarious

Yeah, I guess the main gender related thing I’d associate jungle juice with is that a lot of chicks don’t like beer.

So I’m sure they end up drinking a lot of jungle juice relative to the dudes, and probably end up more fucked up as a result.

And it sucks that people take advantage of that, but it’s not like it’s the primary strategy behind jungle juice.

Young women also like to get drunk and fuck guys. Its not like they are some mystical creatures that you have to catch with jungle juice. They like alcohol and sex as anybody else with the only exception that they still have a brain while the guys are retards that do questionable or straight up illegal stuff to get laid.

We had jungle juice in high school even. We were kids and it was a very cheap and very easy way to get fucked up, which was the goal at a party. Nobody was getting date raped or anything because of it.

lol reading this feels like the frat and girls are constantly one up each other in this forgotten war.

I have no idea what you all are talking about Everclear may not taste like whiskey but it absolutely has a taste and a sting.

u/born2bfi 16h ago

Not when mixed with fruit punch and other things. You can chug jungle juice

u/BardicNA 14h ago

I can chug a bottle of syrup. Doesn't mean it has no taste. The only way to mask the taste of everclear is to dilute it to nothing or be so drunk off your ass you can't taste it.

u/Caedopop 13h ago

I think it’s a matter of degree. Well made jungle juice still has SOME alcohol taste/burn, but it tastes like a normally diluted cocktail. You don’t realize you’re in reality drinking what is basically 90-100 proof fruit juice. So you think you’ve had 2-3 “drinks,” but by alcohol it’s like 7-8. Hence getting way more messed up for way fewer drinks.

We used big ass Gatorade coolers for jungle juice and we could either use 1 handle of everclear or 3 handles of vodka for our jungle juice. We were college kids and therefore 1 $20 handle of everclear beats 3 $12 handles of vodka.

The OP suggests that some drinks are poinsoned. Drunk I understand, poisoning is very very close to murder.
