During my very first field school, which was conducted in a giant demolition
field in an urban environment, there were forfeits, but none involving
beverages as payment. However, one student's husband would show up at the
afternoon break with popsicles and watermelon (temps in the 95-100 range).
With a little bit of shade and those refreshments, fewer mistakes were made,
and people seldom tripped over anything.
