    I am putting a tenner on that you can not drink your pint in one.

    If you can, I win.

    But if you're putting the tenner on him not being able to drink his pint in one, then if he can, you'll lose?

    Or maybe you just argue until he gets really confused and gives up the tenner? 'cos I feel like paying you now :P

    surely if I put a tenner on him not being able to drink his pint in one then I win if he isn't able to drink his pint in one?

    It is a bit of a heads I win, tails you lose thing alright.

    Exactly, but he does drink it in one, therefore you loose, QED.

    Ok.

    The other night, while in the pub, one of the lads played a trick.

    He laid out up to 9 glasses at a time and got one of us to touch one while he wasn't looking. then he'd turn around and hover his hand over each one and then correctly pick the one that had been touched. we all did it and he got it right each time.

    he even went into the toilet at one stage and more than one of us touched a glass each and he came back and rightly said that more than one had been touched and that more than one person touched one. and again, correctly named the right glass.

    he initially claimed that he could read the reaction of peoples faces as his hand hovered over the glasses and guess from that. but then we closed our eyes, thus not give away anything but he still got it right.

    so, anyone see this one before?

    I used to make a fortune off this one, with 9 coins laid out. The 9 coins or glasses are laid out in 3 rows of 3 so they form a square. The person doing the trick just needs someone close enough watching (within 10 feet or so).

    After the coin is touched, the watcher takes a drink from his pint and puts his pint glass back on the beer mat. If it was the coin in to bottm left corner that was touched the pint is placed on the bottom right corner of the beer mat, if it was the middle coin, the pint is put on the middle of the beer mat etc... The person doing the trick pretends to feel the heat from the coins and spends a couple of minutes before picking the right one!

    Oh yeah if the person touching a coin doesn't touch any coin to try to trick you the pint is put down on the table beside the beer mat.

    If you play for money it helps to lose a few smaller bets for say a fiver before increasing the bets to €10 or €20 a go!!! Just quit when you're up €50!!

    Golden rule is never, ever, bet someone in a bar.

    no, that is the normal usage, of 'I bet you can't' but in english it does't mean what the normal usage says.

    I am putting a tenner on that you can not drink your pint in one.

    If you can, I win.

    Err...think you may have got this one wrong.

    I think so too, I think copacetic should say:

    "You should bet me a tenner that you can't drink your pint in one go" That would make sense.

    Betting in bars- or at parties, or anywhere when drink has been taken- is very silly. Oh yes, it makes bad things happen.

    It also leads to silly bets, like the optic race - one drink from each optic, first to the other end of the bar is the winner! :HIC:

    Your mate is a genius and has special powers... :)


    ALL HAIL YOUR MATE ! ;)

    I have done this one but I thought it was old hat at this stage, all you need is a friend at the bar.. when you hover over the right glass, your friend gives you a signal, example, moves his hand lifts his pint, anything except "shout out that the one "

    I think i can see where copacetic is coming from on this one. It's all about the emphasis on words. It's a tough one to get the head around and i can see how it could start a row.

    Guy 2: Yeah right!
    Guy 1: The only thing is, you are NOT allowed to touch my glasses in any way, And I can drink one first to warm up!
    Guy 2: Sure(hahahaha)
    Guy 1: <Drinks one glass>, ok ready?
    Guy 2: yep!

    Yeah I heard that one before. I've been tempted to use it some night but I'll probably be too hammered and muck it up. :D

    when in a round with the guys - wait till the really tight one has gone to the bathroom. get his full pint, put an empty packet of crisps on top of it so that its airtight. now put the pint upside down on the table (really fast) and pull out the crisp wrapper. hilarious when the guiness settles upside down now in the glass.
    My mate came back from the bathroom,and nearly cried - little did we know he dint have any more change for another pint - LOL

    or

    get someone to make a gun with their two hands together, placing their fingers on the table. now place their full pint on their fingers that are flat on the table - now, put on your jacket and leave the table . . . unless he's got a massive mouth, he wont be moving that glass too easy!!
