I’ve always had a soft spot for Those Don Ho “Suck Em Up!" Glasses with the playful bright red font and have a few shot glasses and a beer mug with the logo. As a kid I use to see them on bumper stickers and t-shirts which I believe were made by a company called Crazy Shirts. I wish I attended one of those Suck Em Up shows but read this brief account of one in an article on The Modern Drunkard webpage -

BR: I remember in 1980 when I was Honolulu, they used to have what they called Suck Em Up Shows, meaning you paid one price and you could see Don Ho and suck up all the booze you wanted. They had these huge glasses with Don Ho's picture on them and every time your glass was almost empty they'd refill it from these pitchers of Long Island Ice Teas. And all the while Don Ho would walk around saying, "Suck em up, brudder, suck em up!"

Long Island Ice Tea??
