Like Sigma Alpha Epsilon does with their Paddy Murphy celebration. Paddy Murphy was a SAE brother that was found dead in a closet during prohibition. Now SAE drinks their asses off while they bury a coffin in the ground.

It is beyond me.....
We drink SoCo to remember Reed, because it was his favortie drink; we don't drink it in excess. We take a 750ml bottle and pass it around our family, which is currently about 8 guys. Considering that its about seven times as strong as beer, and about 25 oz. it's roughly equivolent to 14 drinks. Split that 8 ways, and that's not even enough to get anybody tipsy.
