Yup. Walking into work at 5:45 am. after closing out the bar at 2 am. and smelling food cooking!🤢🤢
Swearing Never doing that again. Then, by noon, discussing where we gonna go that night!😂😂😂😂
Anybody remember Mickeys? That was a whole different drunk.
Shit man I drank Mickey's on the way to school to start my day.
Green bottles
All 64 ounces of it 🤣
Hell ya it was😂😂😂😂
The hand grenades and bombers. Mickey’s was a way of life.
Best place to get rid of a hangover and get paid
GenX here. 😂 I even showed up to work still drunk a time, or two, I think. 😂
I know at least one time I was still drunk after an 8 hr shift.
i even got up early n went fishing n got drunk omw to work a few times in my 20s shit i even went to hang raingutter 3 stories high still trippin on mushrooms once... pansy ass kids these days
Or 3 😂
No you didn't. It was a figment of management's imagination!
Got in trouble for taking shots on new years in the parking lot after our shift. I blame Skylar for throwing up but it was perfectly cool for the bosses to hit a bubble in the damn OS room
You had to go to work drunk or hung over to pass the final stage and get your GenX lifetime membership gold card
Oh God. I have that card.
Proud Gen Xer here.
I've gone to work drunk.
I've gone into work stoned.
I've smoked weed on my breaks.
I even worked on the phones at Ticketmaster and sold tickets to the Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus high on acid. (True story)
Calling out sick, nah. We're professionals at getting the damn job done.
Sounds like an awesome career.
I’ve actually been forced to assist in surgery while high AF before.
We were the free and the brave (no patriotic reference intended). Twas a great life...
@@jackhaughputting cheese on a burger is NOT "assisting in surgery" quit lying😂
Damn straight!
I rebuilt and tuned a carburetor tripping balls on my 26th birthday. Didn't tell the guy that owned the car until it was reinstalled and running like a dream. The good old days.
Gen X is'nt the only generation to do this. They are just the last.
I'm HS class of 84 and everyone I knew after high school went to college, the military. full time job or jail, wasn't no one just hanging around. Those of us in the military drank like there was no tomorrow. The hangovers I had then would literally kill me now.
My top six hangovers that still bring phantom pains 30 years later are from drinking on deployment.
Class of 85.
Desert Shield/Storm was the best detox for us in the 101. We were slamming near-beers trying to get a buzz or making homemade hootch until we were able to get booze smuggled in from home in care packages. Also, if you weren't an alcoholic before being stationed in Germany, Korea or Panama you were when you came home. The AA in the 82d patch isn't for All-Americans it's Alcoholics Anonymous. Closed many bars around two, went to IHOP or Waffle House, showered and then went and ran 4-6 miles daily.
Let us not forget the drink till you close the bar, go to the work site with your "jump bag" change into your work clothes, fall asleep and wake up to your boss opening your car door and saying, "wakey wakey!" And getting it done for the day's work and doing it all over again that night. Ahhhhhh good times!😂
I thought I was the only one who did this!😂😂😂
Or it was the walk of shame when you showed up to work in the same clothes you left in.
Proud to be gen x. Fact is we not the same. We are n always have been the definition of F around n find out.
And dayum proud of it...
My face was gray… the trick is V8!
Gen x here, and my Father did all these things, and it was common for all the roofers to drink their lunch back then. Go back one more generation and they were doing these same things but with moonshine and rock gut. As a GenX I am willing to admit we are not the end all if end alls we think we are. Give credit where credit is due the generations before us are the real rockstars
Gen Xers are alot like the spoiled brats of the boomer generation who believed History began in the 1960s.
This new generation isn't ready for MD 20/20
grape MD 20/20 was the most painful throw up i ever had...
@@z-z-z-z same here brother
Mad dog 20 20 😂 wow, for real!
The WORST Hangover headache EVER!!!!
@@illumin8mm or long island iced tea.
Southern Comfort isn't good either. To this day, every time I think about that incident, I can still smell it and it makes me gag. Seriously, never again. I was 19. I'm 53. 😳
@@zombiiesque SoCo. Ack. I was 17. I'm 54. LOL.
Dont Forget thunder bird and night train
Swaying front to back at morning muster, then running 2 miles just for funzies... quick survey here thumbs up if jack is no longer your friend or his cousin jimmy. Also participation trophies just means you survived...
Drink till 6am then reveille would sound and then go for a nice 5k boots and utes march, ahh good times.
54 years old and hell I go to work like this now.these young ones go out one night and call in sick for two days. I’ve never missed a day work a six day week and have a great life to show for it. Hell I be a millionaire by now if I would’ve stopped drinking.😂😂😂
And you’re proud of that huh?
Mad Dog 🤣🤣🤣 I'm not proud to say this and let me tell you I wish that I didn't drink alcohol but I also tell you I drink a pint last night and then went and powerlifted at the gym this morning and worked all day at age 46. I'm getting too old for this crap though ,😫
Sooner or later, we figure out it's just not worth the hassle in the morning.
Us smart ones knew how to hit it early then pace ourselves, tolerance, so we could work the next day. Black Label beer, Boones Farm, Black Velvet(I think) Canadian whiskey, MD, ….All the good headache producers.
I been drinking since l was born and I’m 81 never lost a job worked all my life drunk or sober 😂
The local historical society interviews old guys about their life. A guy who worked for my dad in the 50s told about how he would have a 10 man crew and have 100 beers on the bar after work. Anyone who didn't have their 10 beers gone in an hour couldn't work for him. He passed the test and said every town they worked in Pabst Blue Ribbon became the best selling beer in town. I'm gen x and I never could keep up with those old guys.
I learned the hard way on new years 1998 that you don't party the day before you go to work because you will have a hangover that will take out a dinosaur 😊.
Oh boy, I could write a paper on this subject. If you're from the upper Midwest this is a Daily Double. Think Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota,, Michigan, the Dakota's. Long, cold, snowy winters (At least they were 35 years ago). Beers like Hamm's, Old Style, Old Milwaukee, Busch, Stroh's, MIller and Bud Light were consumed in volume. Along with the aformentioned MD-20/20, Goldschlager, Black Velvet (ack), various homemade concoctions with Everclear or Vodka as a main ingredient, WINE COOLERS, and God knows what else. Class of 88 rockin' on!
😬and you still have vision lol it sounds like you were testing your tolerance big time.
87! 😁👍🤘🇦🇺
Let’s not forget trash can parties and hunch punch!
@@tiffanygrever8092 1984 1997 I pretty much had blood in my alcolhol stream. LOL!
gen x: having a race between cirrhoses and diabetes to see who wins.
And they’re proud of it as you can see from this video. I was born in 1971 and guys like this one on this video are what real X’rs call wannabes and he’s probably always been a wannabe. He doesn’t represent my generation at all.
Mickeys...lol aka little green hand grenade
Wide mouth Mickey, hell ya. They had a half gallon one too.
The 64oz'ers were only around for about a year. I don't remember much about that year, or which one it was, but I remember the 64's.
I'm Gen X but some of y'all are acting like you weren't the ones giving your kids participation trophies in the 90s. All my older cousins wanted to be a friend to their kids instead of a parent, which was a popular strategy at the time.
Hose water? Shit, when you didn't have a hill to sled down in the winter where I'm from, we got on the roof and slid off the roof into snow piles! 😂
And then went sketching on the back of a bus,lol
@@awakenotwoke2643 😂 good ol skitching(that's what we called it here in MN).
100%. You always had to show up for work. In the City of London (the UK's Financial center), we'd start drinking at lunch with clients and then drinks after work was a given. Often we were out until the early hours of the morning. We were hungover many days of the week but on Friday's , everyone, and I mean everyone, was hungover. I swear I drank so much in the 90's and early 2000's, that's why I had to give up the booze (my stomach just cannot process it, even after a few sips).
Legal drinking age in Australia is 18 so we started drinking and got into clubs at 16, unless the club knew a police raid was going to happen that night.
I was getting into bars before I turned 21. I used my sister's ID (and no, she had no idea). We look NOTHING alike. Never got busted once. Probably because I didn't act like an ass. I got carded more AFTER I turned 21.
Ah, memories. Late 80's, my college days. I went dancing with my friends. We closed the club at 4 am. Then we went to Denny's for breakfast and a ton of coffee to sober up. I remember I had a hangover from drinking vodka lemonades all night. It was a hangover where my hair hurt and my teeth itched. I still had the club stamp on my right hand. I remember changing out of my club outfit into my work uniform in my car. I was on time at 7 am, at my job. I felt like crap all day but I was not going to miss work. I had bills to pay.
Gen Xer here too.(.’74) I’ve shown up to work still drunk from the night before.. & a day later when it wore off.. I called in telling them I was tooooo stupid to come in. Not because I was hungover… because it had worn off & I didn’t want to deal with ANYONE!
i think that sums up GenX, no matter what the situation giving up is not an option
I was told one time when I came into work 10 minutes late after staying out all night with the boss and his boss. "Boy if you're going to run with the big dogs you best learn to pee in the tall weeds." That was all it took. The next morning, after repeating the Tom Foolery from the night before. I was the 1st one there and made everyone's coffee.
I believe we perfected the term “puke n rally”. Our parents did it way before us, they just never gave a crap about naming something that was such a common act for so many of them.
Gen X here. When I was in my 20s I went to a house party that they were concerned about drinking and driving. So they had bought a breathalyzer device to measure blood alcohol level. Yep. Went about how you would expect. No one used it to see if they were safe to drive home. People used it to try to beat the “high score”. I don’t remember how I got home. I don’t know if anyone ended up in the hospital. It was one of the most drunk times I’ve ever had.
I did it in the army, and I can do it here.
Mad Dog nights were the best and worst nights ever
Get up the next morning? Shoot...I worked 3rd shift at UPS fresh out of high school. I had to be there at 3am, so I'd leave whatever party I was at and go work 8 hours unloading trucks! Still half lit! 😂
I’m 52 born in 1972. I gave birth on the way to work. Why… cause you don’t call out. True story. Had an employee recently call out cause her neighbors cat died and she was to sad! I wanted to lose my s*it!
Too
I'm circa 72 also, we're built different. I worked three days thru a heart attack on Black Friday weekend overtime. Went to ER Monday thinking bronchitis, nope, infarction.. three stents later, doctor's like get your ass back to work..
@@undagroundhustla omg!!! We are made different! We are tough…
Yep, drinking til 2-3am then forming up for the formation run at 5am. Working all day, hitting the barracks rack at the end of the day and swearing off drinking on weekdays until your buddy says “we’re hitting the bar” and you say “gimme 10 min”.
Did alternating keg stands and jungle juice one Friday night. Had to play 18 holes the next morning in a tournament. Had the hiccups the entire time, which annoyed the shit out of my opponents in my group, and somehow still managed to shoot an 81. Then puked in a plastic grocery bag while at a stoplight on the drive later home that afternoon. Keepin' it real.
Hahaha gen x here i remember couple times puking at the drill rig till noon swearing were never doing that again, then before quitting time trying to decide where were going for a drink😂😂😂
We invented "Hold my beer"
GenX here!! For me, work was a break from the party that was going on 24/7!!
Been there, done that.
To all the Gen-X’ers on here, ya all learned how to party hard from a boomer. Am I right ?
Nope. We figured it out all on our own.
Opening the restaurant at 6:00 AM the morning after Def Leopard and Ugly Kid Joe concert the night before…🤪
Drunk at 4AM and hung over. At work same day for 7AM back in 1990's.
Never been to work sober that I can recall…
Gen X is likely why there is so much safety and sensitivity training nowadays. They learned real quick that Gen X was built different. If we still do dangerous and insensitive things it is because of a life of trial and error with survival luck. Our skills are tried and true, but impossible to duplicate
Boone’s farm for the ladies 😂
Yep we are. Have done it several times 😂😂😂😂😂
58 and remember drinking at work with the supervisor. Third shift factory work,just dont drink so much you cant sober up b4 management showed up.😅
Don't forget many shots of Yager out of its special shot dispenser.
My husband (c/o 1987) would party before school. He got caught drunk at a morning pep rally.
Mad Dog 20/20….. you damn right!
I'd go to town for lunch while in school and come back drunk and finish the day lol
Yup
Budweiser for breakfast many times…..
Getting home in the morning,changing into work gear then heading off to work with a coffee and a handful of paracetamol
Let's not forget lighting our bonfires with the real everclear. Not the weak ass shit today...
I've gone to work after drinking half a big bottle of Jameson, still drunk. Still got my job done.
I would mix up amaretto sours in the bathroom for me and the bosses and put in snapple apple juice bottles so nobody could tell what you were drinking. Everyone working on or loading the plane were potheads that would smoke in the parking lot on break. I had a desk job
Don't forget "Hose Water"
I have not heard fubar in years .Tango and cash great movie !
I'm 56 years old, and till this day my mother can't believe she couldn't tell I was drinking back then.
Gen X’r here, I worked construction (pipeline) specifically, and the old boys (boomers) were the real heroes of drinking, before drinking and driving laws were really a thing, it was drink all night and uppers all day. Wake up at 5 am, find the truck and it’s off to work, repeat.
GENX summed up in just a few words
I looked high, I looked low, I looked east, I looked West, I looked north and then I looked South, I looked Long and I looked Hard, I looked Near and I looked far and I cant find a phq to give
I spent 22 years in the Marines and I've went on 5 mile runs still drunk because it's what you do
Born 1970 52 now getting home hammered at 3am jumping in your car driving to work still hammered in your party clothes and a sleeping in your till satrt work 8am...good times
When I worked in Alaska I had my boss’s boss’s boss tell me one morning when I showed up to work that if you play with the big dogs then you work with the big dogs. He had no problem with me partying (he’s the one that usually throws the parties) but don’t let your work suffer and he worked my butt off that day
Do y'all remember Cisco. The original "liquid crack" Cisco. The shit some Gen-Xers got alcohol poisoning from. If I remember correctly the company had to lower the alcohol content on them to keep them from being a "liquor store only" product in states that use ABC stores like Virginia. They needed to keep them in convenience stores for a better selling point. That stuff made MD-20/20 seem mild.
That's awesome I was just gonna talk about Cisco ! Remember brass monkey from heublin cocktails, the beastie boys have a song about it I used to slam down bottles on the weekends
@@grapeape7377 I remember Brass Monkey and it was on the Beastie Boys first album. I never drank any of that. I was going in the liquor store at 19 in 1991-92. My friends thought I was crazy. I never got IDed until my 22nd birthday.
Shit, when I was in the Marine Corps, you could smell alcohol during every early morning PT session. Guys would be out there running miles as the sun came up, after drinking all night. It was kind of just understood that that's how it was.
GenX here, it started from some few beers when I was 14 and all soon escalated to both fridge and freezer full of vodka and nothing else when I was about 19, this was the beginning of that one certain competition with the boomers.
A coworker showed up black out drunk today, she got fired and arrested, probably getting a DUI for driving here. So yes, but also know when it's best to just stay home and dont drink and drive.
I mastered the art of, kicking the hacky sack, into the red solo cup. And you truly didn't have a very good hacky sack, until it was baptized in Budweiser...
So, in a way, I was doing them a favor.
Hose water started the pickling process. The the MD20\20
Shiiiiit! Try trippin' balls all night then go to classes in the morning and work later that night; still trippin' balls. That was one whole summer in my early 20s. I slept a total of 5 hours that summer. BEST SUMMER EVER!!!! God only knows how many brain cells I lost that year.
We would drive 2 hrs, drink all night, drive 2 hrs back to town and roll straight into work in the clothes we partied in, smelling like gin and cigars. As long as we showed up, we were good.
Agreed, but in that generation the men wouldn't wear pink glasses 😂
1:12 What the heck is that behind you, by the tree? It looks like some alien forest creature.
Yeah so glad that nobody had cell phones with cameras when that was going down
Don't forget Hanley beer.
That’s not a beer gut, that’s your liver under a lot of stress.
I did all this is my younger years but I’m not exactly proud of it now. Recovery isn’t a pleasant experience at first.
The last generation who got to enjoy the power of the US dollar. Back when everything at a dollar store was a dollar. Lol
Y’all better not cremate me when I die. Imma burn for a week just from the alcohol in my bloodstream.
AIRBORNE 🇺🇸ALL THE WAY 🫡
Goldschlager is still in my freezer ♥️♥️
when I grew up drinking was considered a sport.
I have seen many a sunrise, in many messed up states, and have giggled a lot knowing(today is going to suck, i embrace that suck) i had an hr before my 12 hr shift started in a stinking hot kitchen.
Good times.
58 NOW, WHEN I WAS 20 I DRANK A WHOLE BOTTLE OF BEAM'S BLACK LABEL STRAIGHT HAD AN HOURS SLEEP AND BLEW SOBER AT A BREATHALYZER 2 HOURS LATER
Fuck I don’t know how many times 😉🤣🤣
Cant be sober all the time its Stupid.
I am of that generation, but I used vodka Everclear and Gold Schlager
What about Cisco, and crazy horse?
Gen x is the last generation with real men, but when it comes to drinking the greatest generation as well as the boomers take the cake. We would drink openly at work with our bosses, every day.
Party till 2am at the bar. At work at the pancake house for 7am. Serving the people you were partying with the 'night' before (basically hours). Show up with two jugs of water for a table and they're like, "How did you know??" "Dude, we were partying together last night!"
As Dean Martin used to say, "I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they get up in the morning, that's the best they're going to feel ALL DAY." (ps, I don't drink anymore). Heh.
💯🤣
Anyone remember when the cops would just confiscate your beer and run you out town
Gen X here I finished my last drink in time to go to work do my 8 and then get off work and start drinking again just to go back to work my 8 get off and sleep away my 2 days off in the middle of the week and do it all again that weekend.
If I had a dollar for every time I drank and smoked, got maybe a couple hours sleep, went to work for 10hrs in a rock quarry and then went home........only to repeat the cycle. Well I wouldnt have to work any more I suspect, but honestly I just don't remember.
