Never spent much on liquor while at LSU. Fraternity brothers worked all the bars(no cover, free drinks), fraternity paid for liquor at tailgates
I also had a job so was never strapped for cash. Most of the money I spent was on marijuana

1991-93, was a tutor for athletics and TA for philosophy dept, but also lived right across the street from the tennis courts by the PMAC on Chimes. I would move my truck to the back of the apartments on game day and sell my spot for $15.00 on game day, walk down to the corner store, grab a bottle and walk the parking lot tailgate to eat and drink more. Good times.

Work for a moving company. What else is a college aged male supposed to do. Move shite around for a workout and then get drunk off the money after. Plus you get to keep random furniture at times because why not

Work for a catering company that allowed us to drink after the jobs were done and to eat leftover food. Left every job with a buzz and a full stomach.

It is amazing how many people sold plasma.
I did this in the very early 90s. They paid $25/week if you give twice; $10 for the first donation then $15 for the second.
Good times for sure.

I used to work offshore during the summer and winter breaks. That combines with TOPS and the stipend, I paid my way through undergrad without any student loans. Grad school was a different story...

We would drive around at the end of semesters and pick up furniture then store it in a barn at the farm I worked at. When the next semester would start we would sell it on craigslist. Made about 3k one year.
