The wild house parties of Regency England

Those rout cakes were basically alcoholic cookies. Rout cookies and coffee was redbull and vodka. Rout cookies and lemonade was Mike's hard lemonade.

Not so much a pub crawl, but a mosh pit crawl. XD

So multi day ragers have been common for centuries?

One time i was in a crowded mall just before Christmas & all of a sudden my brain decided "IT'S TIME TO LEAVE. NOW. GET OUT OF THE BUILDING THIS SECOND". It took 10 minutes just to get out of this shop, basically shoulder to shoulder, and another 10 minutes to get out of the mall. I got to my car, put the windows down & just gasped for breath for the better part of half an hour before calming down. That was the first time I've been able to recpgnize that i was having a panic attack.

Routs sounds like a nightmare for me lol

No wonder Mr. Darcy wasn't a fan of such gatherings!

They were also doing whip-its. They would fill the room with nitrous gas, everyone would get high for a couple minutes, then they would move on to the next house filling up with the gas.

Sounds like every bar I worked at, only people didn't leave until you threw on every single interior light. Including spot lights aimed from the back of house to the front door to make people uncomfortable if they weren't facing the direction we wanted them walking.

I want to see 'Bridgerton' portray one of these routs! Thank you for this awesome historic lesson

[juliebaxter]

Ok they need to show this in one of the many period shows out there! It'd be cinematic gold! ❤

Being in an overcrowded room sober. My hell.

We truly value you Max, all of the work you and José put into these recipes and history lessons are appreciated. Simply outstanding.
I’ve learned a great deal over the last couple of years. If all schools had history teachers like you, classes would be so successful.

This has major "back in my day, we didn't have tv" vibes.

Old school Raves. 😂 I have to tell you I really do love your YouTube videos. I love the history that you tell and the foods that you prepare, and it's just amazing. 😎

It was a great episode (as always)! Really had me wondering why anyone in their right mind would want to go to one of these routs, let alone 5 or 6 a night. Makes me recoil just thinking about it. I guess being somebody ain't so easy all the time.

I was reading the caption before he said them, and misread "house" as "horse." Lemme tell you, "horse parties" sounds wild!!

[ShooterMagoo]

I once went to a party like this, there were so many people talking it was just a cacophony of conversations that were all misheard and led to many inside jokes long after the party it ended. 10/10 Highly recommended.

As an introvert, this sounds totally miserable to me.

Wait no alcohol. How on Earth did people put up with this?

[miaschannelforcommenting]

.... wait. this is just flash mobbing with caffeine and sugar
