Could be related to all the work christmas parties being cancelled I suppose.

For smaller work groups getting together to go out and get smashed but want to put a bit of a theme to it the 12 Pubs is simple to organise.

I'm guessing its a pub crawl to 12 pubs.

Not exactly rocket science!

Basically a pub crawl. 12 Pubs for the 12 days of christmas. Min One drink in each one (usually).

Yay, lets go to 12 different pubs... just coz.

It's great being an idiot.

Ohh ffs. Not only is it a laugh but it is a great middle finger to our governments attempts to clamp down on having a social life. No happy hours, attempts to cut opening hours, offys closed at 10, it is the perfect protest

skelliser

usually 10-15 people landing into a pub having one pint and leaving, gets messier and messier.

Last few years they had strict rules and timeline, each "participant" was given a sheet with a list of all the pubs and they had to be signed by a member of staff stating that you actually had a pint/drink.
Last year started at 4, half an hour in each pub.
The list was/is usually made up of "old man" type pubs cause the guiness is better! plus the bigger
super**** pubs hated us!

Of course by 7/8 it was reduced to a complete mess!

No it's not. By getting super-drunk and acting like a drunken idiot you're proving them right.

While I cant speak for you I can handle 12 fairly merrily, as can most people I know. Dont judge the rest of us on your own intake ability/behaviour.

I'll be doing the 12 pubs this year, as I have the past 3 and as my hubbies gang have done the past 10. It's fun, it when the entire gang get together no matter kids, weddings or indeed where they live, people are home from as far away as Japan they organise their Xmas break to take into account the 12 pubs. People can join and leave at any time along the route, only about 10 of us make the entire 12 and to be honest we're not that messy until of course the last pub and we chose purposely some where noisy and where we can dance. We've even had people do all 12 on minerals which they tell me is actually harder, not cause they are shandy asses but because they had gaa matches that weekend. I love the night and I willapologise in advance to the bar staff but mainly we're not badly behaved. 12 pubs are the business :-)

Well "if" (and that's a big "if") you and your friends "can handle 12 fairly merrily" you are certainly in the minority.

There are plenty of people that can put away 12 without falling into a puke soaked coma but generally these people tend to act like knobends unbeknownst to themselves.

I've done the 12 pubs for a few years now. Can't wait to do it this year!!

And yes 12pubs groups do make more noise. We emptied three pubs last year just from our topics off conversation. :pac:

Heay don't knock it till you've tried it. Idiocy was the number 1 pastime in many countrys around the world during 2008.

If your interested I can sell you an idiocy conversion kit which includes a surgical hammer for easy home use.

Well we all know Grandma MagicMarker gives good bath so no surprise there.

(I honestly have no idea what that means!)

Well... a pint in 12 pubs, that's not too bad. Unless they're severe lightweights. Sure I'd be a bit drunk but wouldn't be "sh!tfaced"... I'd still go for more.

Do you feel that way about going out in general?

I mean, if you're in the pub from 7 or 8 onwards and go to a club, the chances are that you'll have close to, if not more than, 12 drinks.

Irish people enjoying a drink - what the duece! God I'm sick of moaners like this. Got any other pet hates apart from people having fun, socialising and talking to there mates??

Have a pub on barrack street in cork and I absolutely hate this thing, full of student **** having a shouting match with each other. Last year was far worse but they're still around.. One fella told me he was going to rape my mother, thought it was very funny, it wasn't so funny for him when he was lying on the ground outside with a blood nose, I found that part hilarious
