Blah. I still have visions of puking orange kool aid and ibuprofen the next morning. Not for awhile.

was that the last chance saloon? you dranl alot? I don't know what my record is for quantity of drinnks in one night is but, it is less than 15 I am sure.

Now, a co-worker friend does this thing every year with about 20 other people, it is turning into quite the event- this year they printed up tee-shirts, score cards and such.

Anyway, its called conquer the cooler. they have a trophy for the winner. What you do is drink every kind of beer in the bar cooler, there are 30 something, and of course the winner gets a trophy - weeeeeee!

last friday they started at 12, when i saw them at 630 pm, my co-worker had 16 finished and the leader was on 21!

that is one contest I'll never be in, no way... i like my stomach where its at and not all over the floor..

13 was my shot count nightly when I lived in IL... and to answer the question in your heads now after reading that... yes I was still standing and walking and talking and playing shuffleboard and driving. Very high alchohol tolerance back then. Can still drink most under the table today and I rarely drink.


RJ... that conquer the cooler thing.. the bars in IL had a similar game with no real prize other than bragging rights called GONE AROUND THE WORLD. A beer from every country represented in the imported cooler... I dun it. Not in one night mind you... took me a couple because we had over 52 imports and micros where I worked.

But they banned drinking games promoted by bars because one of the bars I used to go to had one called the barber chair.. and you did three shots that they poured directly in your mouth and then spun you around three times after each shot and if you did'nt throw up you did'nt have to pay for the shots or drinks the rest of the night. Well a guy did it, and then drove in a tear down the road killing himself and some other people in a car accident. Lawsuit happened, club closed down and state made new law.

Dang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They do that stuff in Cancun everywhere!! Though, I'd assume 99% of the tourists aren't driving themselves after!

Not talking about you, Sanj, but I never understood what was so fun about getting so very smashed, that you puked and felt like crap the next day.

I can understand getting a buzz and feeling good, but I never understood drinking to oblivion. I've seen people pee and poop their pants, vomit in someone's face, and some other unmentionables. Ain't my idea of a good time.

But wait...I'll eat Asian take-out Chicken Fried Rice till I'm bursting, and that doesn't stop me from ordering it, knowing that. Who am I to preach??? Lol

I think most people who drink themselves into oblivion do it not knowing how much is enough. And I know for some it's once you get going you can lose track of how much you've been drinking as well.
