"What would a camp out be without a few s’mores and mojito’s after a hard day’s hike? :-)"

Better.

My parents were outdoors types -- and alcoholics. I know whereof I speak.

I love the outdoors. It does not need any boozy "help".

Grow up...

You've got anger problems, friend.

Maybe you should take in a meeting or two yourself.

I know whereof I speak.

Who said I wanted to sit around the campfire and drink Mojito’s with you? :-)

I guess being a jerk doesn't require boozy 'help' either.

“all you have to do is pour one of those powder packets into it to make it an alcoholic drink. “

Or pour the water out and pour in Gin. No difference, if you remember to leave out the olive.

“Do you know what a godsend this is to backpackers?” A small Platypus sack is all you need, and it is much less expensive and holds more alcohol, since you are not packing around cyclodextrine.

For a long haul I might put Everclear or 151 rum in the Platypus, for weight efficiency naturally.

Or vodka. I regularly check water bottles when I'm dealing with young teens, because they can be pretty tricky.

The idiots will snort it, shoot it, or put it into orifices not really designed as a nutrient intake. I’m guessing that deaths will ensue.

Frat boys are true innovators and willing to think outside the box when it comes to consuming alcohol.

“My daughter turned 18 in October of her senior year so she was the designated beer buyer...”

I basically did the same thing for my friends, mostly with BS skills and not being afraid to go to the “right” neighborhoods where no questions were asked of a cash buyer back then. I cannot believe that I was this actually this stupid. Fortunately, and only by the grace of God, we all survived and there were no victims.

I would kick my kid’s you-know-whats for doing this, severely and repeatedly, even if they were “adults”, for doing this. But this is one of the weaknesses of even supposedly “bright” youths...not being able to foresee potential bad outcomes from their actions.

This seems like a hoax, first of all. But assuming it’s not, shall we start a pool on how long it will be before the first fatality? What’s to prevent college kids (or whomever) from mixing about seventeen packets of this stuff into one Coke and chugging it? Instant alcohol poisoning, anyone?

Cleaning the stupid gene out of the pool is never a bad outcome.

Necessity is the mother of invention. This nonsense would never need to be invented if we had reasonable laws concerning alcoholic beverages.

None of this would be needed if House of Blues, et al had "reasonable" drink prices.

$12 "well" cocktails and $10.50 for single PBR tallboy (in addition to HOB-LiveNation (same corporation)'s "handling charge" on the tickets they print for their own venue).

People probably snuck food into that 1999 Woodstock that had $8 hotdogs as well.
