Couldn't find an appropriate video for this story.... So this will have to suffice.
The Eggnog Riot, sometimes known as the Grog Mutiny, was a riot that took place at the United States Military Academy in West Point, New York, on 24–25 December 1826. It was caused by a drunken Christmas Day party in the North Barracks of the academy. Two days prior to the incident, a large quantity of whiskey was smuggled into the academy to make eggnog for the party, giving the riot its name. The riot eventually involved more than one-third of the cadets by the time it ceased on Christmas morning. A subsequent investigation by academy officials resulted in the implication of seventy cadets and the court-martialing of twenty of them and one enlisted soldier. Among the participants in the riot—though he was not court-martialed—was future Confederate States President Jefferson Davis.

In a scene straight out of “Animal House,” drunken cadets, including the future president of the Confederacy, downed alcohol-spiked eggnog and staged a violent rampage after an officer attempted to shutter the party. The result was the largest expulsion in the history of West Point.
