The 12 Pubs of Christmas Pub Crawl

Flukey

Shamelessly stolen from a group I encountered doing this last night.
Some amendments have been made.

Preparation

A designated organiser independently does the following:

• 12 specific pubs must be chosen in advance.
• 2 friends (Friend 1 and Friend 2) who are not attending must be chosen with their phone numbers.
• 1 single friend (Friend 3) who is part of the group must be chosen.
• Print the rules and give them to each participant.

General Rules
A. Every participant must buy at least 1 alcoholic beverage per pub (pints are expected)

B. Every participant has 30 minutes to drink their pint. A signal will be given to give a 5 minute warning, and a final signal will be given when it is time to leave the pub.

C. Snitching and catching people out is ENCOURAGED!!

D. Anyone who is not wearing a Christmas jumper must do a shot in the first pub.

E. Anyone who falls over (because of drink or snow) must do a shot in the next pub.

F. If the group are not admitted to a pub, the nearest available pub(s) must be used.

G. Participants can get food after leaving pub 5 but must consume it within 10 minutes.

H. Anyone who is responsible for getting the group kicked out of the pub or is themselves ejected must do a shot in the next pub.

Each pub has one rule and forfeit as follows:

Pub 1: No talking about Last Man Standing or Fantasy Football.
Have to pick Stoke for next week's Last Man Standing / Fantasy Football.

2: Drink with your left hand (or right hand for left-handers)
Must walk to pub 3 backwards.

Ring Friend 1 and shout “Ruuuuuuairi” down the phone as loud as possible in the pub.

10: No talking about the recession/economy/budget.

We do something similar but without the pub specific rules.

20 mins per pub, pints only for guys, girls whatever they like.
Toilet every second pub.
Food ad libitum but only in your own time.
Safety pints accepted; doubling up in one pub means you can skip the other.

We usually do two; one on Baggot Street and the other a lap of Trinity. Doing the Baggot Street one on the 19th.

I get too comfy in the pub to be moving every time i've a drink!

Minstrel27

I like to stay put in one pub too.

krudler

Rules? pfft, just go to 12 pubs, one drink in each, last man standing wins

zuroph

effort. pub games and drinking games have never appealed to me, seems to be a very British thing from visiting mates over there. I prefer a good night out with mates and good beer, where each others company is the entertainment, not "who can get the most drunk and get us thrown out of a pub."

Christ OP, by the time you finish reading the rules you'd be pissed.

yep, drinking games are for the type of people you'd see wandering around temple bar with zogabonds on thinking they're a bit "bonkers"

If a group of twits walked into a bar doing this...I'd leave..
Sounds like a british stag tbh..

dougal-maguire

we normally attempt this on st. stephens day.usualy gets fcuked up though,5 groups start off in different pubs and the groups end up crossing paths and joining up,then some groups end up doing pubs twice.but it's great craic.looking forward to it this year.

Flukey

Not my kind of thing either. In line with most of you, I am not into pub games and would prefer to stick with one pub too. I just found it a bit funny to see what these crazies were doing, so I managed to get a copy of the rules. These guys were Irish and apparently were in pub 10, although it wasn't on their list. So it must have come under rule F. A few were well on, but some weren't too bad.

Agricola

Did this last year. Too much effort. If I went to 6 pubs on a regular night out id be pushing the boat out, 12 is just mad. So for lazy people, 6 pubs and 2 drinks in each. The 12 Drinks of Xmas.

LostGirly

We do this every year, on year four this year! We always do it on Christmas Eve, we've t-shirts organised with the names of the pubs in order of when we visit them! 30 minutes per pub, 1 drink per pub! They're the only two rules and it's immense fun! Think we've up on 30 joining us this year!!

baltimore sun

there's rules? :rolleyes:

you just made it very very lame.

KeithM89_old

Im doing one on the 22nd when everyones finished their exams but not with all those rules... just 12 pubs, 12 pints, 30 mins each. Although i do like the idea of a forfeit....

Parsley

only two rules: last person to finish their pint carries the Rock of Shame. first person to finish wears the Hat of Triumph.

thisguy

yea we're doing one the 18th as well. have done it every year for the last 3 or 4 years so its starting to become a bit of a tradition, and is always a good laugh...we keep the rules to a minimum though, just drink our pints in a half hour and hit the next pub!

nonsmoker

We do it every year as well, approx 100 of us from work!

Some people join in anywhere along the way, while there are the die hards that do the full 12. Its a great night out and great way to get to know other people from work

mloc

We had planned to do it on the 18th but the match kinda ruined that idea.

jimthemental

Doing one saturday in Kilkenny and we've ~100 up for it. Should be very messy. My only rule, "Avoid A&E".

Knifey Spoony

In Cork we call this the Barrack Street challenge, except without all those rules, just simply a drink in every pub on the street, which is about 11 or 12 these days. Used to be a real challenge before with 20 pubs on the street, or so the legend goes...

In Cork folks would know that there were never 20 pubs on Barrack Street and that a few years back there were one or two that were no go pubs. Many of the pubs that the pub crawl would have encompassed would be on Bandon Road

How shameless is that ^^^^^^^^ for a first post ?

And a double post too.
