Default Top 10 Drinking Achievements Before You Die

(I'm sure most of the guys and maybe some of the ladies in this forum have done 8 of these.)

http://tastybooze.com/2008/06/top-10...efore-you-die/

Even booze hounds need to have goals in life so, I decided to come up with a list of the 10 things that every true drinker should accomplish before they die. Not every item on the list requires drinking massive quantities of alcohol. Once you have covered every item on this list you will be a well rounded drinker who should have a shit-ton of good stories to tell. Personally I can put a check mark next to six of these so it looks like I still have some work to do. Figure out where you stand and then plan your weekends accordingly.

Case In A Day - 24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? I prefer to think not. You need to sit down with a couple of friends and a couple of cases and power through the day and the case. People that have never done this think it’s easy and the people that have, know it’s not. Added Difficulty: Keep a hand written journal of what you are doing each time you crack a beer. Bonus Points: If anything is legible after beer 17.

Run The Taps At A Bar… Conditions: must have 12 or more taps. This is pretty self explanatory. Belly up to the bar and order a single pint of every beer they have on tap one after the other. You are going to get to try a lot of new beers and chances are you will be piss drunk before the sun goes down.

Century Club - Pretty simple, 100 shots of beer in 100 minutes without puking. Much like the case in a day challenge people always think this is easy until they actually try it. 60 seconds starts feeling like 5 seconds once you pass the 70 minute mark.

Brew Your Own Beer - Yeah it might not taste that great and you will be “that guy” that makes all your friends try their shitty brew but every true booze hound has to give it a shot at least once.

Pub Crawl Conditions: 12 or more pubs covering at least 1 mile. There is nothing better than getting a big group of friends together on a sunny day and catching a buzz while going on a walk. A beer at each stop with a short walk in between and you will be primed for a night of debauchery.

Go To An AA Meeting at least once you should see how the other half lives. Learn a lesson from Charlie Kelly, throw out your beer before you actually get into the meeting. If you don’t somebody will rat you out.

Learn Something About Wine And I don’t mean memorizing the flavors of Franzia, Carlo Rossi or Charles Shaw. Go on a wine tour and actually pay attention (without pounding Busch Lights between wineries) or go to a multi-course meal where they pair a wine with each course and explain why they go together. The knowledge will pay off each and every time you take a lady out for a nice dinner.

Black Out Before Noon - Just once get out of bed at 9 a.m. and crack a beer instead of having your morning Tropicana. There are a finite number of years in life where you can get drunk before noon and not feel like a total douche about it the next day. If you are a college football fan then this is easy to accomplish. If beer isn’t your bag first thing in the A.M. then I would recommend a Boones Farm Strawberry Hill. It’s slightly fruity, high in booze and fan-f**king-tastic.

Oktoberfest in Germany - As someone who’s been there twice, trust me in terms of a unique alcohol experience, it’s pretty unparalleled. Any place where you can puke on the floor under your table, and one waitress jokes with you while she cleans it up and another brings you another beer is unique in my book. You haven’t lived until you’ve seen a girl throw up while making out with some dude so that it squirts out the side of their mouths. Gross but hilarious. –Mr. Wonka

Scotch - learn to drink scotch either on the rocks or neat. Much like golf, it is a pain in the ass to learn, but it will pay off in the business world. While you are at it, learn the difference between bourbon and whiskey so that you don’t look like a total fucking hayseed. If you really want to get a gold star on your chart learn the difference between a blend and single malt as well.

Only 4. Dang, I feel left out or I'm living a secluded lifestyle.

There is a tradition here around Christmas. "The twelve bars of Christmas." The tradition is one beer per bar... or more, but you have to go to 12. There are at least twelve in that mile; The Beer Barrel, River St. Pub, Silver Bullet, Red's, Copper Fox, The Pub, Today's, Pillars, Old Spanish Tavern, Black Oak, The Alley, Sip 'n Sales, Club Deuce, and The Brass Rail... just for starters. If you walked in that order, you wouldn't walk quite a mile. I've staggered out of a few of them.

Question: On a can of beer, it lists several warnings, including one that says, "Consumption of alcoholic beverages impairs your ability to drive a car..." So, if I drive a truck, would that hold up in court?

I've also found that if I drink and drive, I spill my beer. So now I pull over, drink, then get on the road again.

Default Darn it all

I may have passed 3 or 4.

This is hard test ( cause I cant remember what I did when I was drinking ).

I have been to AA, and I just wait for the meeting to end, and then join the rest in the parking lot going ( pop, pop, pop ) You can here them cans opening every second.

The worse part about drinking , is the driving, when you have to go through one of those " Safety Checks " and the cop ask you " Have you had anything to drink today sir,? Well, I just answer, No, but if you have some I will drink it.

I call Alcohol Abuse is when your drinving and spill it, now the is abuse!!!!

BTW, There is bound to be someone one here that has been to the Phillippines and going to Alongapo City. ( sp ).

But anyhow I remember being there in 1965 while stationed abord the USS Pine Island, and one weekend we had a weekend liberty. Fri evening to Sun evening.

Well, anyhow, if I remember when crossing the bridge, there are a total of 96 bars all the way down to the Y in the road and back to the bridge.

Now, between three of us, and believe me , we tried to drink at least one San Miguel in each bar. BUT DIDNT MAKE IT!!!!!!!!!!

But we did get some chicken or monkey meat on skewers on the way back to the base at the bridge.

enough........

reeb......

Come to think of it I do remember an alcohol awareness class, and 5 bottles of Korbel Brut between myself and another girl to celebrate the last class.

Hey,
I didn't do anything any of the rest of you would have done. I was simply celebrating my awareness of alcohol.
