Nah, I don't drink; never have. At least, not after age 15 or 16.
The turkey thing was part revenge part scientific experiment. One of my geek friends won it in a raffle where he worked and had no place to store it. I loaned him part of my freezer, but 18 months later it was still there. I told him if he didn't pick it up in five days, I was going to fill it full of fireworks and shoot it over downtown Ann Arbor.
He didn't and I did.
Interesting about 4th of July and drinking, but I'd be surprised if that was true all over. Here it's St. Patrick's Day.
