Some of the rules are fun, usually harmless. 

We had one that you'd to kiss one of the other lads in the group on the cheek before having a drink.

Between pubs someone would shout "Shark" everyone would have to get their feet off of the ground (jumping on to a wall etc.).

Using someone's first name instead of their nickname. The penalty was having to do a shot but for the most part it wasn't enforced particularly strongly. 

Silly stuff but it was fun and sure what's wrong with fun?

There's fun and there's "organised fun" that's my issue with it!

Majority I attended were fine, but one year a lad took it on himself to print out a rule sheet... One of the rules that stands out "1 pi$$ per pub". Get to fuk! He wasn't long being told where to stick it!

F*ckin' rules on a sheet for an evening in the pub. What a shower of bellends. Honest to God when did people turn into such eejits.

Used to wreck my head when they walked into a pub I was working in. The group is there for one round, but that doesn't stop a few of them coming up looking for free shots cos there's x amount of them and because they've brought x amount of people to the pub they should all be given a free shot. They tend to forget that they are only there for one drink usually before fecking off to the next pub.

Guys if you're doing the 12 pubs this year just please don't bring fecking whistles and demand free drinks. Enjoy yourself tho. Most groups are fine and the groups that are not fine, it's usually a small minority that are loud and annoying as ****.

Yes please respect all the establishments that you visit and remember to be courteous to the local clientele as many of them don't want you there but are willing to put up with you for a brief period of time.

Do not end up like the boy I referenced in my previous post.

12 units of alcohol is a lot for people to take and this knocking it back quickly doesn't help.

It's about 26 units if you're having a pint in each pub. I did it once when I was 22 and I was battered beyond belief. I don't know is it the fresh air or what that does it but it starts to get pretty messy two-thirds of the way in.

Did this Saturday night, Made it to 7 and went home to watch MOTD


I'm so old...

First did a 12 pubs in Cork in 2006, but there was none of this christmas jumpers or rules etc. It was simply 1 alcoholic drink in each pub and that was it.

So long as you're not forcing it on anyone else and just drinking it yourself.

Well it does affect people's mood and behaviour.
