The hottest new drinking fad for this season is here!

Boring username · 12-02-2015 9:04pm #1

A new drinking craze among third-levels students requiring them to down a naggin of spirits has been condemned by the Union of Students in Ireland.

The ‘Sneaky Naggin’ game involves surprising a fellow student with a 200-millilitre bottle of cheap spirits, usually vodka or gin, during class and forcing them to drink it whole when they are next out.

USI Welfare officer Greg O’ Donoghue branded the game as “irresponsible”, saying that “no friend should encourage someone to drink that amount alone.”

“Consuming that level of alcohol is dangerous and it isn’t something that people should be encouraging their friends to do.”

Top tip-instead of downing a vodka naggin and then projectile vomiting on yourself and others, perhaps you might consider improving the gene pool by repeatedly stabbing your reproductive organs with a rusty fork.

Sincerely yours,
The human race.

We've all done it at one stage or another.
Student being students shocker.

KaaaaaaPOW · 12-02-2015 9:07pm

Ahh, the bright sparks of tomorrow.

All these fecking challenges annoy me more for the fact that it's such regimented organised "craic" rather than the amount of alcohol consumed.

Back in my day if you wanted to neck a pint or down a naggin you just got on with it.

Here's a crazy idea for a student drinking game - Moderation.

The top students know that getting so drunk you cannot remember the night isn't going to do much for your final grade. Or for your ability to cope with a big workload and project deliverables.

Yeah cause no one who drinks to excess ever does well in college :rolleyes:

If it's not the night before an exam then go for it!

12-02-2015 9:15pm

So wait, you get a free naggin?

Your right, you will be working long enough, I spent four yrs in cork was only sober quarter of the time, a naggon is nothing shur its what students do!!

cloud493 · 12-02-2015 9:17pm

How do you force someone to drink something exactly?

Pinch Flat · 12-02-2015 9:18pm

We used to do this in the late 80's. Except it was a half bottle of Bacardi necked between 2. Trick was to get past the bouncers on the door before it hit you. Still can't drink Bacardi to this day.

strobe · 12-02-2015 9:18pm

New drinking fad..?

OMG it's 2004 again!! It worked Marty!!

Ted_YNWA · 12-02-2015 9:18pm

Whats to stop them from pouring the free naggin into an empty bottle, refill with water & neck that?

Still get free drink & no-one will be any the wiser/.

How is that a "game"? It's just giving someone a naggin and asking them to drink it

Don't tell us you're no craic

B.A._Baracus · 12-02-2015 9:25pm

Let's be honest, we've all gotten ourselves crazy drunk at some point. But downing a bottle of spirits in one go is so stupid. As said above you will puke. Doesnt matter if you can hold alcohol or not.

Wang King · 12-02-2015 9:27pm

I say let them at it, they'll only harm themselves..... hopefully

Vex Willems · 12-02-2015 9:32pm

Wouldn't do it now but I downed many a naggin back in the day

This is a fad I hope never catches on. Stop with this shìte of speaking as though you're speaking on behalf of the human race, or that "weep for humanity" shìte.

Go "bants" somewhere else ffs! :mad:

Sorry Boring Username, that one had been building up a while, now pass me that naggin, I need a drink!

Go to college. Get a job. Learn the jargon. Going forward, make sure you're managing your project deliverables.

Absolute. Yes boss. Coffee? A week or ten days. Time in lieu. Tax, tax, tax. Responsibility. Taking yourself too seriously.

Young. Stupid. Learning. Growing. Go to college. Get a job. Learn the jargon.

And anybody who made a real big deal about drinking, were usually the ones you had to carry home at the end of the night.

That made me laugh. God I remember wetting myself 7 times after 2 Tesco naggins. I should be a in a drink aware ad.

Honey Monster · 12-02-2015 9:47pm

Meh. Used do worse when I was younger. I have fond memories of drinking a bottle of aftershock, walking to the disco. Something something waking up in a ditch. It's called being young. No way would I do it now, few pints, the Fire, and a good chat is all I want now.

Another non news story.

Lidl don't sell Naggin's. The smallest unit they sell is 500ml for 13.99, and it's excellent vodka. Their 'cheaper' vodka, at 12.99 for 700ml, is also pretty decent, much better than that Tesco Imperial/Dunnes Kinsey crap which is actually more expensive.

Back on topic, I believe what you were looking for is 'Glen's Vodka'.

Always wonder where students get the cash to buy a bottle of booze, even cheap. They're always broke.

Reminds me of watching the brother doing his Neck Nomination video last year or whenever it was. Full bottle of After Shock poured into two glasses by his own personal bar man/best friend. Down in one, then t'other. Scary stuff.

seventeen sheep · 12-02-2015 9:55pm

What student in their right mind would have the extra money for a naggin - then buy a naggin - and then give it away?

Are students richer these days or something?

Can't see this one catching on ...

bjork · 12-02-2015 9:57pm

Goodness gracious me!
Next they'll be smoking hashish and protesting against the man

€5.50?

Seriously, where do people think we live? Some impoverished African colony from the 19th century?

I'm a working professional in a decent job with a pension and all those grown up things, and €5.50 is still a lot of money to me!

Certainly more than I'd spend just to look "cool" on Facebook for participating in the latest fad.

Won't comment on the 500ml stuff from Lidl as I haven't tried it. The bigger 700ml bottle however is just horrible, tesco much less of a taste.
The best vodka, should be almost tasteless.

It's probably because they don't have those adult responsibilities that they can afford to buy alcohol. In all likelihood they cut back in other areas too, like food and clothing.

I'm with you on the thought of giving away a naggin being appalling. But let's not pretend we don't live in a wealthy country.

MarkAnthony · 12-02-2015 10:19pm

You're not meant to do this in class no? TBH a couple of pints really helped Jurisprudence make sense yesterday.

The Backwards Man · 12-02-2015 10:20pm

In my day we didn't get pished for the craic.

It was a choice between Jeremy Beadle on telly, watching Four Weddings And A Funeral in a crappy cinema drinking Mc Daids Banana or coping a half bottle of brandy into yourself and waking up in a shuck.

Kids today rabble rabble etc.

I don't think I'm that young as in the late 90's I accomplished a naggin of vodka in 11 seconds and a naggin of jack in 8.

Different sittings.
