h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

That's a great story Ford. Truly a funny prank. =) I think I'll have to try that on one of my friends sometime. =)

p.s. I think we might have scared Nitro straight out of here.

Please, do tell us about your eccentric drunken antics. I love to hear peoples drinking stories; they give me something to think about the next time I go out drinking. =)

"we all know and respect the rules" hummmmm ........ I'm not too sure about that ....... The only problem I'm having is that I'm a little torn about the no spitting rule. I don't think I completely agree with that. To tell you the truth ... can you keep a secret? ... I've broken that one.

In my youth, when fast cars, wild horses and contact sport were my pastimes, I drank beer - lots of it.
In my middle age, I hardly ever drink beer, preferring cider. There is probably a moral to that but I can't think of one.
Tropical Australia was (and still is) home to legendary beer drinkers. Perhaps spending my most impressionable years in northern Australia aided the development of a more discerning palate???? My husband's extremely drinkable home brews are reviving my beer palate but a good cider is still most burp-worthy.

Pink you are a persons person!
Thankyou for your kind remarks and your support.
I sincerely hope more people deposit their drinking stories on this forum.

BANG ON my friends BANG ON........

ForDEdseL

the rules are unwritten,
the beer is undrunk,
I need a cold one,
and something that rhymes neatly with undrunk to fit in with this piece o' crap.

How about...

Anyone know any good drinking games?
We did the Eurovision Song Contest game on Saturday and got absoloutely plastered.

As the title says, I was drunk and pissed off. Stop with the mean comments

asshole is a fun game with cards, with presiden vp, asshole, and vice asshole. Cant wuite think up the rules a tthem moment. A cheesie game i like to play when drinking. to get myself wastedas wuickly as posssible is to put on the song Roxanne by The Police. Each team or even just two persons is assigned to drink when sting sings, "put on the red light" and the other when he says "roxanne" He says each of them like 13 or 14 times during the song. its sort of fun. Plus many dice games such as three man are fun while drinking. Im drunk when i learn them so i can never remember when im sober. sorry

Anyone played Drink While You Think?

Wooohay now there's a game that'll send you dizzy .

Try or

I am not a stranger to this nectar we call beer. However if you ever want to make the stuff, I recommend going to this place on Central Avenue in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA, Earth. It's called Kellys Brew Your Own, a fitting title I might add. My friend Tom made and delivered a very nice tasting Amber Bock. Of course there are other ways to make your own brew. Home kits, brew schools, or get a job and just go buy a six pack at your favorite convinence store. Just remember, the only problem with drinking and driving is the driving part, so try to avoid that.

I think its about time we had a table for drinking games...
Drink while you think is a good one, particularly because one you lose you tend to keep loosing.


Game1 (can't remember what its called...)
Game for 2 players.
Requirements
2 pints

Two people sit facing each other with both fists on the table. Each player takes turns naming the sum of the fingers that will be displayed after a count of three (Usually done by rapping with both fists three times and then the player whose turn it is naming the value saying what it will be. This must be done simultaneously as showing the value on your hands directly after the three).
The player can name either 0,5,10,15 or 20.
The sum is the sum of the hands of both players, for example after the count player one may be showing 0 on left hand and 5 on the right. Player two may be showing 5 on left hand and 5 on right making a grand total of 15.

Winning
The game may be played in either of two ways, if you both WANT to get drunk then the player who calls the sum right gets to drink three fingers. Alternatively if you don't the the player who gets the sum wrong twice in a row (i.e. the get the guess wrong on the first guess, then get another guess because they got it wrond) has to drink the 3 fingers.
The person who finishes there drink first has to get the next round in, depending upon which way round you're playing the winning rule.

Spelling Game
Game for any number of players.

The idea of the game is to spell out a word without finishing it.
Each person takes a turn adding a letter to the preceeding letters with out finishing a word (regardless of whether they had another word in mind), though they must have a word in mind that they are trying to spell. If the person believes that the person before them has not word in mind or the letter just spoken will not make a valid word then they are allowed to challenge that person. If the person does have a word in mind and gives a valid word then the person that challenged loses, if the challenged person does not have a valid word then they lose. If a person takes more than a minute to think of a letter or says a letter completing the word then they lose.
A word must be 4 or more letters.
The loser will start the next round.

Winning/Losing
This depends on how you want to play it, whether the players want to get drunk or not. If you want to get drunk, everyone except the loser gets to drink three fingers, otherwise the person losing has to drink.

Example
Player 1 says A (having in mind Apple)
Player 2 says P (Again, having mind Apple)
Player 3 says P (having mind Apply)
Player 1 says L (Trying to force completion on player 2)
Player 2 says I (having in mind Application)
Player 3 says E (having in mind Applied, forcing player 1 to complete
in revenge for a previous game...)
Player 1 says D (having little or no choice.)
Players 2 and 3 get to drink, player 1 starts the next round.

Allright, since everyone is pitching in with drinking stories, why not post one of my own?

About two years ago me and some friends went on an enormous drinking spree, covering 1/3 of all the bars in Amsterdam in one night. In Amsterdam they have a custom called "Happy Hour" which in principle means: 2 for 1.

We went into a bar, ordered 8 beer - 2 for each of us - and received 16. We then drank all the beer, or gave some away - depending on looks and figure of specific examples of the opposite sex (female), and continued onto the next bar. When everywhere the happyhours were over we all went home.

Upon arriving home (living with parents at the time) I found that I could not, for the live of me, get the key in the lock and so rang the doorbell . My father came down, seeing me in a state of total hammeredness (I had too high a bloodlevel in my alcohol) and said: You sober up and try getting the key in then. This left me on our porch for approx. 2 hours! After this time I managed to get the key in and stumbled up to my bedroom...

Cya

My own worst performances:
1. A 50 liter barrel of beer and a bottle of vodka in 30 hours (ok, the hours were spread over 7 days) whilst I was tending the bar.
2. 500 pounds worth of beer during a five day rock-festival.

I'd tell you mine, but the best ones I only have on hearsay.

(Fortunately I've had a while to sober up. )

Ah Beer, that amber brew,
It makes you droop and it makes you spew,
But as tip it down your neck my friend,
You believe a better life is around the bend.
Gaffas.
