how to keep up

PeakOutput

so i need the advice of the long standing brotherhood of bgrh

there is a serious session about to kick off in about 60mins from now but i have a problem.

tonight is going to be serious because wagers have made and money commited to the last man standing its going to be matching drink for drink madness until only one (of about 15) remains)

usually i would be in the middle of the group but fora student the prize pool is too much to not long for

so from the brotherhood to a noob how do i keep up and make sure im the last man standing?

DarkJager

Is there a set drink to start with? I'd personally challenge them to a game of Revolver.....only men with real hair on their balls will be standing after that.

everyone has a shoulder of vodka to start with

then its onto town were the particular place is two for one on everything all night

Well 1stly I'd say eat like a pig before hand, as much fat and carbs as possible and also down a few berrocca and have had got a great nites sleep. Not much you can do bout the shoulder of vodka but when in town try and stick to something of low alcohol content, bavaria or Carlsberg over heineken for example. Keep on knocking back pints of water too. If you really wanna win and have no morals then into the bathroom asap after said vodka to puke up as much as possible before it makes it to the old liver. Final advice I'd try and get something else to eat enroute to line stomach further. Ultimate moral free tactic would involve a lot of self induced vomiting, eating and water

ye id rather not vomit to be honest id like to win but id like to do it relatively fair and square so loads of food pint of water with every pint is another i think would work

Shoulder of vodka to start is pretty rough going

I'm not sure what else you can do to survive then man. I suppose it will ultimately come down to your manliness and abilites to prevent yourself getting sick/collapsing before the rest. I will spare a manly thought for your crusade tonight brother

Hamiltonion

prob best. If getting a mate a drink go for like a treble vodka and redbull or Paulaner for the poor fool. Theres plenty of beers ect with relatively low alcohol content so stick to those.
Also i wouldnt mix drinks too much and avoid cider like the plague

banshee_bones

take it no one will be allowed go to the bar alone then? coz if ya did id be having glasses of water instead of "vodka" ! But id say eat a good bit now, but not too much, you can still get sick!

Good luck with it, youl probably need it since your starting with a shoulder of vodka..ouch!

DarkJager

Oh almost forgot a tactic that may help you win . Its called a cement mixer, and if you value your manliness (and your chances of surviving the night) you will only watch the other contestants trying this.

You need to buy them a shot of lime, and a shot of baileys (see notice above). This needs to be done when they are very intoxicated, as it requires the suspension of belief for a few short minutes. Tell them, that you have the ultimate trick to make them able to carry on drinking for the night. Get them to down the baileys first, quickly followed by the shot of lime.

The result is a beautiful symphony of curdling deep within the stomach, which is physically impossible to resist throwing up from. If you don't believe me, try it yourself. There is no escape or turning back once the shot of lime is swallowed.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, DJ, you are one evil man.

We must do pints.

Could somebody please enlighten me as to what a shoulder of vodka is? It seems to be a measure of alcohol that has somehow eluded me during my many years of drinking.

I read that as a shudder. Ya' know, enough vodkas to make you shudder as you drink it?

It's a half bottle, bigger than a naggin (perhaps twice as big) and half the size of a normal sized bottle, perhaps it's 500mls

PeakOutput

ye a shoulder is basically two naggins or half a bottle

i did pretty well on the whole i didnt win bt i dont think we know who won and the money has dissapered so the best bet is that we just used the pot to buy more drink im either not hung over at all or still drunk

who knows

thanks boys and girls can i be a brother now?

Ah right, never heard it referred to as anything other than a half-bottle before. That would be 375mls.

What blasphemy is this? Can't believe it has been allowed remain in place for nigh on 24hrs....mods...for shame. The BGRH forum has become everything it once stood against. Brother Des would be turning in his, er, e-Grave were he still around to see this.


OP....(or is that PO?)...I notice the session has already taken place, but heed this advice next time. The only way to withstand the pace is through practice. You wouldn't run a marathon, well....ever (i hope) but if you were that way inclined you wouldn't run one without having first gone on a couple of long distance runs first, now wouldya?

In non-exercise terms, think of your resistence to alcohol as being like an elastic band, grasped between your stubby little fingers. If you just pull it apart with all your might, it's gonna snap and take someones eye out. However, if you slowly, methodically bring it to just about it's breaking point time and time again, you'll eventually have an elastic band to be proud of, i.e. one that will be comfortably stretchable beyond the point where the other one snapped in the first example.

Practice practice practice. Get your ass down the pub and pretty soon you'll be the last man standing EVERY SINGLE TIME.

A shoulder is a half bottle, or 350ml. If you stand outside any teen disco in the country on a sunday morning the ground will be littered with em, seem to have replaced the humble naggin

ye the young uns seem to be getting more and more hardcore alright

i stayed suprisingly sober last night was waiting for the shoulder to hit me and it never seemed to really

some of the wimmins didnt fair as well

Its a young 'uns phrase alright - When reading this thread the other night I asked Mrs G what a shoulder of vodka was. She reckoned it was enough vodka to have you fall over onto your shoulder.
Following much rolling of the eyes my son told me what it was, and then exclaimed, 'Jezz ye know nothing about drinking do you!'

Bloody 7 yr olds, think they know everything.

1st off congratulations on your good night out, seems it could have been made more enjoyable with a bit more alcohol :P

2nd I I read a lot of things I wish NEVER to see again in this sacred forum.... low alcohol content.... just thinking about it almost made ME almost get sick... I also hasten to add that the best way to line your stomach, is to (like said before) practise! until your insides are as lined as..... as when you drink a pint of milk really quickly and your mouth feels all... well... lined with a strange mix of milk and saliva :P

3rd off (in accordance with the above quote) it seems your raising your child well in the BGRH ways
congratulations :pac:

haha excellent stuff I'm not that old/young at 28 and it's been a shoulder (or the odd time we call it a half bottle) of vodka/whiskey/whatever for as long as I've been drinking..

Haven't bought one in a while though. always go with the full bottle in case I want more!
but only one bottle though. Made a promise to myself a few years ago. No more than one bottle of whiskey in a single waking period. any more than that is trouble and any more than 2 is asking to be unwell for a week
