Are those guys on the back row really throwing up?  What on earth are they drinking & why are they drinking it?  Was it associated with specific ceremonies?  What exactly are those women brewing & what went into the so-called "Black Drink?"  Is this just another bad frat party, or is there something else going on here?  Put your preconceived ideas aside & help us get inside this widespread Southeastern Indian practice.  Janice Swab in the Biology Department can help you with some of the ingredients for your own "Black Drink!" (but you don't have to take it that far!).  We really need you to research this and tell us about it! Bibliography: Southeastern Indians Through Indian Eyes
