What do you get when you mix cadets, contraband whiskey, and a strict military academy? An absolutely legendary holiday debacle known as the Eggnog Riot!
This week on Rainy Day Rabbit Holes, we’re serving up a festive tale of rebellion, smashed furniture, and boozy eggnog that got a little too rowdy.
Learn how West Point’s “Father of Discipline,” Colonel Sylvanus Thayer, tried to keep the cadets in line—and how their Christmas Eve plot to blow off steam turned into a full-scale mutiny. Plus, did you know eggnog has medieval roots and was a favorite of George Washington? Yeah, we’re spilling all the (spiked) tea in this episode.
