While Daily Fork obviously does not condone underage drinking (or breaking any law, for that matter), we did think it would be fun to take a nice look back at some of the drinks most people tend to outgrow as soon as they pin an Animal House poster up in their dorm. With that in mind, here are 9 drinks you probably haven&#8217;t had since high school. Or, at the very least, not since Freshman year of college&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>9) Mike&#8217;s Hard Lemonade<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\" style=\"display: inline;\"><\/p>\n<table class=\"image center\" align=\"center\" border=\"0\" width=\"650\">\n<tr>\n<td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Mike's-Hard-Lemonade.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/dailyfork.com\/files\/mike_s-hard-lemonade.jpg\" width=\"89\" height=\"250\"\/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Even though it still seems to be a marginally accepted beverage at baseball games and other sporting events, once you put on your cap and gown the days of tossing back a cold Mike&#8217;s are pretty much over. Much like a learner&#8217;s permit or over the shirt fondling, it&#8217;s only a gateway to bigger and better things.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8) Hornsby&#8217;s Hard Cider<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\" style=\"display: inline;\"><\/p>\n<table class=\"image center\" align=\"center\" border=\"0\" width=\"650\">\n<tr>\n<td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Hornsby's-Hard-Cider.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/dailyfork.com\/files\/hornsby_s-hard-cider.jpg\" width=\"76\" height=\"250\"\/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The big brother to Mike&#8217;s Hard Lemonade and the other non-beer staple at pretty much every underage party, Hornsby&#8217;s starts to outlast its usefulness once you realize there&#8217;s more to beer than Ice House and Tecate. After about 18 years of age, it becomes considerably more difficult to berate other people for drinking a wussy drink while you&#8217;re holding a hard cider in your hand.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7) Smirnoff Ice<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\" style=\"display: inline;\"><\/p>\n<table class=\"image center\" align=\"center\" border=\"0\" width=\"650\">\n<tr>\n<td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Smirnoff.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/dailyfork.com\/files\/smirnoff.jpg\" width=\"133\" height=\"250\"\/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p>When getting a friend to run to the liquor store was out of the question, you&#8217;d happily settle for a 12 pack of Smirnoff Ice.
