Believe it or not, there are some students who don't equate weekends with keg stands, beer pong and unexplained bruises from the night before.
I know several people who like to hang out with their friends at parties, but sometimes feel left out when everyone's drinking fancy-looking mixed drinks and all they have is a glass of water.
Don't let this happen to your friends. Do them a favor and come prepared with alternative beverage ideas.
Most of them have extremely simple preparation and use the same ingredients as alcoholic drinks. This makes it easy for you to get the most party out of your dollar.
Gracious, although drunk, hosts will make sure everyone at their place is happy. The following list will help you get started in that direction.
