Pre-drinks, how much?

Sprrratt

So im just back from the lads pre drinks session before hitting Harcourt St for some clubbin. Im not heading out myself as i was driving before being invited and have work in the morning (not a good idea for myself anymore).

Anyway a few of them were pissed which got me to thinking how much do people drink before they head out. I usually have say 5 or 6 bottles of Miller or whatever because I dont like getting a taxi or bus drunk going in.

Well, what do you drink? :pac:

Cue the "im irish i drink 16 cans and a nagen of tesco vodka rafturrrr"

Princess Peach

Bottle of wine usually. Bad idea. Used to chase it with 2/3 shots of Micky Finns but I have gotten older and wiser.

Worst night recently was when I drank a half bottle of wine mixed with a half bottle of peach Shnapps with Mr Freezes as ice. Yummy.

ItsAWindUp

Maybe a naggan of Captain Morgan's and/or a few cans. Never go over the top though, I don't really see the point of going out already drunk.

surestew

4 cans of bulmers and a naggin

Remmy

Im not a big beer drinker but If im heading to someones house for a few drinks before we go out I usually buy a shoulder of jack. When I have that finished Im pretty well sorted for the night save for one drink in the nightclub or a shot.

A game of Kings decides how much pre-drinking i do. Usually loads...

First Explorer

Normally buy 6 cans and drink between 4-6 of them depending on how long i'm waiting around for others!

klose

8 cans of that sweet sweet bav or go halves on someone with a 20 box of bud/miller usually one of the supermarkets has one of them going for 15-18 euro each week.
Drink a nice bit before going out cause i dont drink much while out to maximise scrubiness

ghosttown

And here I was wondering why all the younger ones seem half pissed arriving in the pub. Must investigate this lark myself.

Being a trinity student it's gotten to the point where bav is my favourite out of all the mainstream beers :pac:

bleg

depends on how much fun I'm having at home or if I've to meet people in town.

Zero.. Always meet in the pub. Even was back in Ireland for a few weeks. We'd all meet in the pub to start off, or go for dinner first.

Was the same in my poor student days.
We would have after drinks at a house, rarely before.

What's this game of kings thingy?

I rarely "pre-drink" a glass of wine or possibly two while I'm getting dollied but not to get drunk just because I like my wine....

It's a card game. You draw cards in turns and do different things depending on what you draw.

Guarenteed to get you seshed.

Usually I don't drink before going out. But If I'm waiting around for a long time... I'd just have 1 or 2 bottles before going out. I'm not really a big drinker.

I vaguely remember a game called fuzzy duck from my, eh.. younger years.

It usually involves a lot of stripping

Ace is a tequila shot, 2 f*ck you, 3 f*ck me, 4 hit the floor, 5, everyone drink for 5, 6 question master thing, 7, hand to heaven, 8, pick a date, 9 bust a rhyme, 10, toilet card, Jack, finish your drink, Q, waterfall, and King is the community cup.
Fun :P

HelloYoungBoy

2 turbo nagins and the night is a haze!

leggo

Depends. If it's a special occasion and I want to get messy, or I'm playing catch-up, I'll go on the Morgan's. 2-3 of them (with a pretty lop-sided ratio of Morgans:Coke) and I'm on my way.

But I don't drink heavily that often anymore. So generally I just have 2-3 Bulmers while getting ready to get me a bit buzzed.

johnmcdnl

7-8 cans usually and then maybe a pint or two over the night inside to keep me ticking over

feck kings though - hate them ****e drinking games.. I want to enjoy my drink not have to neck a pint of vodka whiskey bavaria and bulmers mixed together because I got the last king :mad:

and I wouldn't call it pre drinks - It's more along the lines of "having a few cans"

Kylo Ren

A shoulder of vodka or Jack and 4-bottles/cans.

No stripping for us. Sure we're usually all girls.

Ace-Waterfall, 2 For You, 3 For me, 4 to the floor, 5Never have I ever, 6 all drink, 7 to heaven, 8 pick a mate, 9 Bust a rhyme, 10 make up a rule (usually end every sentence with in my pants) Jack go back, Queen is quizmaster, King all drink!

I wanna go drinking NOW

Samich

Ya I don't get the point of the drinking games either. If the idea of the games is to get drunk, why not just get drunk by drinking loads?

What sort of measure is a shoulder?

VenusPlays

Oh god i remember fuzzy duck. And some other game that involved throwing a coin in a glass....

I'd usually have 2 or 3 beers before going out but that does depend on whether or not i'm waiting on others to get a bl@@dy move on!

Super-Rush

I don't think i've ever had pre drinks.

I can't keep up with the yoof of today.

siobhanosaur

I'd usually have between a naggin or a shoulder of vodka depending on how drunk i want to be

carefulnow100

Id normally have a good few bottles then 5/6 shorts.

Bottles being miller or Heiniken. Shorts being Captain Morgan or soco.


Before we leave the gaff will always have 2/3 shots or jabombs.

Usually either 6 cans or 8-10 bottles, don't like being hammered leaving the house.

You spelt it wrong and it looked like how a drunk person might struggle with speaking.

Da Shins Kelly

Well, I don't buy drinks once I get to the pub, so I usually get sh*tfaced at the pre-drinks, so yes, I drink loads.
