Helping friends move beer is elite tier. Can't believe it didn't make the top 10.

Rude to assume their genders.

Just curious about the level of intrusion from others - did you and your crew also just drink freely from any random house's hose if the need arose? Or was that a bridge too far? 

I can't conceive of today's kids just rolling up to a stranger's house, turning on the hose, drinking, turning it off, and moving on. Same goes for just wantonly cutting through yards - front, back, side, fenced - didn't fucking matter sometimes. Launching (and losing, and searching for) model rockets just gave us carte blanche to go whenever the hell we wanted, but there were other times when I would cut straight through a block for no other reason than my own convenience.

 Don't think we drank from strangers'  hoses - mainly because there weren't any strangers as such nearby... also don't recall stopping for a slurp on the way to or from the  ball field unless someone was watering, and we'd ask for a drink or he'd offer one if we were all hot and sweaty. Any place not fenced was free game for passage.

hose water is communal.  yes, any neighborhood hose was fair game for a drink.

I once saw a girl from my high school hanging out in the rival school's hang out spot.  She was drunk as shit and this was not going to end well for her.  My friend and I grabbed her and told her we were taking her home. She ended up puking all over herself in my car.  Some how it only got on her.  Once we got to her neighborhood, we stopped at a neighbors house and proceeded to hose the puke from all over herself.  We dropped her off at her house and rang the doorbell.  We watched from a distance as her mom recovered her from the porch.  I don't even think she ever said "thanks".  Bitch.

But, yes, random garden hoses were in play for a variety of reasons.
