$2 tequila Tuesdays wrecked a lot of studying plans

$3 long Islands on I think Thursdays were insane. They weren't made week either, almost killed me multiple times.

u/tealchameleon Jan 23 '25

They were up to $5 when I was in college 😅 (was still a great price)

Killed me every Thursday in Tempe but totally worth it. Man it was a great time to be alive. I haven’t had one since 2009.

Goddamn. Casa in Tempe with the buckets. So many nights I just don’t remember.

Good god. That was a decade ago. Holy crap.

I went to visit a year ago. Mill avenue is nothing like it was when I was there. It was sad to see. We truly experienced it at it peak.

Do you remember the guy covered in beer tabs? He was an icon for a bit, but I haven’t seen him in a while.

Also, screw that senior citizen home that shutdown shady park. I dislike everyone in that building.

Do they even say thirsty thursdays anymore?

u/Xero_id Jan 23 '25

I don't think they can promote drinking nights at bars anymore, atleast in IL. I don't live there anymore so I'm not sure but I think I remember laws stopping "shots 2 for $x" or "ladies free" nights or any other deal to push young adults to drink.

Holy fuck I would have died

Illinois has some legit party nights at bars around college campuses back 15+ years ago, not sure about now. The long islands were at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale I think but maybe Naperville, it was a blur.

u/Dewdrop06 Jan 24 '25

Right now at this moment, in my country, long Islands are about $4-5. Specials $2-3. Anyway point is I can't relate to these prices without someone mentioning the current price. 😅

u/Xero_id Jan 24 '25

Current price I've seen near me is close to $11 but im nar a beach and tourist area so everything is pricey.

Dollar drafts on Wednesday and I lived behind the bar.

I can't drink Amber Bock anymore because of this.

College got in the way of partying for most of us…

Quarter beers on Thursday did me in

u/supernaturalpowers Jan 23 '25

Harpos?

u/Few-Appointment-2361 Jan 23 '25

Zan & Boogie in Springfield. They didn't survive covid. I've heard some fun stories from friends that went to Mizzou though

.25 cent pitcher night threw me off every week

3

u/Due_Adeptness_1964 Jan 23 '25

How big were the pitchers?! And what year was that, cuz wow you could’ve gotten shitfaced for less than $2! lol

3

u/Leprikahn2 Jan 23 '25

Full 64oz pitcher. This would have been around 2009ish. It was terrible beer, but we saved change all week for Wednesday night.

u/Due_Adeptness_1964 Jan 23 '25

Damn, that’s a crazy bargain tho! I thought quarter beer night in 2006 was legit, but ur story takes the cake! lol

u/Leprikahn2 Jan 23 '25

FlipFlops in Tallahassee, Florida. I doubt it's still open, but it was a good time.

Beat the clock baby. I usually found out if I beat it when I woke up from my blackout and checked my account.

u/PalpitationLegal4550 Jan 23 '25

A lot of relationships too..

u/DiscardedP Jan 23 '25

I remember college day with beat the clock. Every drink started at .25 and would go up in price by .25 on Monday. Great way to start week.

u/skypig357 Jan 24 '25

u/eareyou Jan 24 '25
