I went to a small Christian College where no drinking was allowed. If they found out you'd had even one sip of wine they would expel you for the rest of the year and might or might not admit you to return in the future. The night we graduated, a buddy of mine and I decided to throw a big party and invite only graduating Seniors who couldn't get into trouble. We rented the clubhouse of a local apartment complex and started spreading the word.
Needless to say, when the word got out many more than just graduating seniors showed up and we had over 200 people there (out of a total of 1,800 in the student body). I was drinking early and often that night and for the one and only time in my life I lost everything that happened after about 10:30 that night.
Because I was (a) so drunk, (b) a host of the party and (c) people did not think of me as a "partier", there were lots of stories that circulated in the following days. Some of them may or may not have been true but the major rumor that I heard from everyone (including the Dean of Students a couple of weeks later) was that I had spent the night in a dumpster. This one is categorically untrue and I know it was because I woke up the next day in a strange bedroom in a house where a buddy of mine had taken me to keep me from doing something stupid like spending the night in a dumpster.
