This 1987 video of people at a 7-Eleven is a charming time capsule

When I went to college, a large bottle of 190-proof Everclear was about $10, so it only took a few of those plus kool-aid packets and sugar to make enough punch to get a large party ridiculously drunk. I do not have fond memories of the cups of “purple passion” or their after effects.

Yea, you’re not supposed to drink Everclear. You’re supposed to use it to make lemoncello or strawberry cordial at home. The fresh fruit dilutes the alcohol, so you need to start with something really strong to keep it from going bad.
