The dangers of excessive imbibition

Even more fun when you can get away with it (if you can remember the prank in the morning).

If it didn’t ferment, it’s not cider. :p

Reminds me of the “Peanuts” strips where Lucy would “beep” Snoopy on the nose.

Hooray, free booze! Belch!

I love fermented apple cider.

Don’t bug sleeping dinos.

and thanks to fermented apple cider he’s going to kiss the fat broad next.

As teenagers we would put hard apple cider in a container, leave it overnight to have the apple juice freeze and leave the alcohol…( in upstate N.Y. )

That ought to sober him up.

My uncle had an apple orchard. First he had apple juice, then cider, then hard cider, then vinegar, then the year started over again. The pigs in the apple orchard eating fermented apples were rather funny. (Although that wouldn’t be allowed "now-a-days, as he would have said)

I bought some non-fermented cider once. When about a cup was left, the bottle got pushed to the back of the fridge and forgotten. When I took it out a few months later, the top nearly exploded off. I was afraid to drink it so down the drain it went.

At least he was cleaver to do it near a cliff with water underneath!!

My husband grew up in Maine; his grandfather’s farm was across the street from an apple orchard at the edge of another farm. Until his father confirmed it, I thought my husband was pulling my leg when he told me about the orchard owner having trouble keeping his cows out of the orchard and sober. They’d eat the windfall apples that were rotting and fermenting at the same time. Drunk cows don’t get mean, but they don’t walk a straight line, either, if they can walk at all.

Just like in Mayberry.
