Being in Chiefs, specifically in the trumpet (Screech Squad) section in college, we veered between kegs, coolers, and most commonly at Chiefs' parties, Hairy Buffalo, which was like Purple Jesus, except hairier.
Gotta love college in the south.

My last semester of high school I was 18, so I could drink legally.
Me too, until I was 20 and then they switched to 21 without grandfathering us in.
Hairy Buffalo
Oh, lord. There are many nights I can't remember, thanks to Hairy Buffalo. (Made with Everclear, which was illegal in Ohio, so people would drive to Indiana to buy it, along with beer at low low Indiana prices.)

Also illegal in Florida, so we'd drive up to Georgia to get it. Ha!

I turned 18 in November of my senior year and could drink legally for most of the year. Not hard stuff. Just beer and wine coolers. Not a bad deal for a high school senior.

Bastards!
In WI, the drinking age went from 18 to 19, and then to 21. They did grandfather people in, but each time I was old enough to not need the grandfathering.
Also, in my high school, parents often threw keggers for their kids, figuring it was less dangerous than their kids drinking in some field somewhere.
Louisiana was the last to change the law. I only had about 4 or 5 months where I couldn't* go to bars.

A friend of mine used to hang out with our circle at a bar a block away from the coop I lived in. Several of the bartenders also lived there. They all knew my friend was underage, and they'd sneak her out the back door if a cop came in.
When she turned 21, the bartender loudly announced to everyone that it was her 21st birthday and she was now legal! Everyone in the bar cheered and applauded.
Boris Becker. Blond in my book. Not sure what strawberry means.
I could drink legally--well, almost all my wanting-to-drink life, because of growing up in London and going to university in Quebec. I was shocked by the underage drinking culture I saw in Michigan--not necessarily that they drank more than we did at the same age, but it was all covert and held higher risks of drinking and driving.
