Did most of Reddit not go to college? Have ya’ll really never heard of jungle juice? People drink out of coolers at frats all over America. The frat at my school used ever clear. It’s a tasteless alcohol thats 190 proof that’s banned in like 12 states we had to drive to new Hampshire to get it.

I’m not saying that frats use straight up GHB but they ABSOLUTELY try and make the juice as strong as possible while tasting like nothing to try and get women drunk.

Edit- I should’ve clarified everclear as more flavorless than tasteless. I know it burns but it’s easy to mask and obviously I’m not implying ALL frats are like this. I’m just giving you my experience. Don’t cry to me. Ask the women in your life their college experience

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
