Biggest Rush Mistakes at any institution

do people really use the word "drunktaneous" in a conversation? Just curious.

I've got kids at UF and UT and have never heard that word. It just seems so affected and over the top.

Occasionally, when you are looking for a word to define exactly how overly drunk you were, but simply saying you were drunk just doesnt cut it. drunktaneous is an excellent addition to anyones fratty vocabulary.

That has a nice little definition of it.

This one has a varied definition of it.

Yeah, its a kind of drunk where someone gets really obnoxious and often embarasses themselves.

Heh...maybe it's because they don't go around telling their mom how hammered they got last weekend?

I would have...but then again, my dad come to visit me at college when I was still underage and asked me which bar we could go to that doesn't card.

Although really, I probably have drunk as much alcohol in my entire life as many college kids do their freshman year. I like to drink every now and then, but it's just not the be-all-to-end-all that some college underclassmen see it as.

For my freshman dorm room, my mom bought me a blender so I could make margaritas. I was 21 (almost 22 - I started school late) and she knew no alcohol was allowed in the dorms.

She didn't come visit that often, but when she did, that was usually about the only time it got used.

Hm...where I am from if we are with our parent, we can drink legally at 18.

I don't think that's the case in Illinois. I don't think you could even get a tattoo WITH parental permission until you were 21.

What country are you in? I ask because, that is not true anywhere in the United States. There may be places that don't card you if you're with a parent, but that doesn't mean it is legal.

I've *HEARD* that it's true in Wisconsin. In fact, my best friend from highschool's brother got married when he was 20 and his wife was 21, and from what she said, they could take their marriage license into a bar with them, and since she was of age, and his legal gardian, he could drink with her permission.

Now, like I said, though - 2nd hand story, I don't know how much stock I'd put in it.

No, it is not a matter of carding. It is a matter of a loophole in a law. I live in Louisiana, we are pretty good at those. You see Louisiana was the last state to adopt the legal age of 21 but after threatening to cut our federal funding lawmakers gave in, but left a few loopholes in the laws, such as the fact if you are 18 and accompanied by your parents you can legally drink. For this reason, we even have two different legal driving limits, one if you are 18 and one if you are 21, I do not know what they are.

This is, in fact, true in wisconsin. I can go into any bar in wisconsin that is incorparted in wisconsin. If the company was started somewhere else, it is illegal. But bars will take down my parents info of their liscense, and mine, and keep it for records if a cop would at all question it.
