re: I know I'm young...but how did college social stuff work before cell phones?

The unannounced drop-in was great. A few friends, usually already drunk, would show up at an apartment and pester people into joining them or they'd just hang out until their beer ran out.

You'd go from bar to bar and see people you knew at most of the stops. If you liked the scene, you'd stay. Otherwise, you'd get in the car and go somewhere else. And then you'd see your drunk friends after 2:00 at Pedro's or the Tigerland 7-11.

I guess there was a lot more impaired drivers then but the BAC limits were more liberal and I don't remember any great slaughter on the roads.

No cell phones, no voicemail, no caller ID, no internet, no problem.
