While I know about the purple water fountain, in the 70's I was still in school and had not yet begun my career. I started working in the Pentagon in the 90's. Parties, at least in the Army Staff and the elements of OSD and OJCS that I worked with were pretty sedate. The wild times were pretty much over by then. This was in the wake of Tailhook and the "adultry" scandals that ended a few careers. But, I've heard the stories, of course.

But, when I first started my career and worked out in the field, the whole month of December and it's office parties were legendary. Reputations were made and lost at those parties.
