Dive into the spirited tale of the Eggnog Riot of 1826 in this episode of Wiki U. Set at West Point during the holiday season, this infamous event saw cadets rebel after sneaking in whiskey to spike their eggnog, defying strict military prohibition. What began as a festive prank turned into chaos, with broken windows, smashed furniture, and disciplinary action against dozens of cadets—including future Civil War leaders. Join us as we explore how a cup of holiday cheer led to one of the most outrageous and unexpected rebellions in U.S. military history.
