Original Title: TIL about the West Point Spiked Eggnog Riot of 1826, when cadets, including future Confederate President Jefferson Davis, went on a wild bender after sneaking booze into the academy. Captain Hitchcock tried to regain control but was attacked, and nearly shot, while a drunk drum corps played outside
