Leeds University accidentally orders thousands of bottles of Jagermeister

Now, we all know that university students like a good Jagerbomb (Jagermeister was named as one of the top 20 uni essentials just last week, after all) — but this takes the cake.

Staff at Leeds University have accidentally ordered 4,000 bottles of Jagermeister — enough for almost five Jagerbombs for every undergraduate on campus.

That’s one large Jager hangover.

According to the Leeds Student, the order was in preparation for Stylus, Pulse and Mine club nights — but only 240 bottles were supposed to be delivered. The amount being dropped off by delivery staff was therefore “alarming.”

A mix up between NUS Services and the supplier is now being blamed.

The arrival of the “very large quantity” (you don’t say) of Jagermeister — 16 times more than was required — led Bars & Venues Manager Steve Keeble to tell the Leeds Student that “something’s gone terribly wrong.”

We’re not sure if students would agree with this. We think 112,000 Jagerbombs (the amount that can be made using 4,000 bottles of the stuff) could keep students pretty happy all year.

Unfortunately the thousands of bottles were sadly removed from campus following the incident.
