    I suppose technically this doesn't really count, because I've been threatening to do it for ages, but tonight after a couple of beers I finally took the plunge and booked a trip to the Big Apple.

    There's no way I would have done this tonight without the alcoholic nudge though. So what's the most expensive decision you've made while slightly tipsy?

    Whipping out the credit card and spending 100 quid I didn't have on ridiculous drinks in a very expensive bar in London.

    What exactly is beer pong, is it trying to put your balls in someone else's pint or what?

    I spent €60 on a hotel room the other week and couldn't even get it up I was so drunk.

    The joys of being a broke, desperate student!

    Was it an IKEA Hotel Room? Did it not come with instructions to get it up?

    Decided to move to NZ, final decision was made while drinking in the local. Combined we've probably spent 70k NZD that would have otherwise been avoidable...
    That or get married, I was pretty wasted when I proposed.. but the expense on that is still clocking up, not quite there yet.

    Lost my phone alright...
    Confused morning after,
    Woke in someone else's apartment sleeping in their hallway...
    Slipped out,
    Realized I was on floor under the place I was supposed to be staying...
    How I got in was a mystery because you need an electronic scanner key thing to get in everywhere...
    Student accom, and I'd nothing, must've followed some group back,
    Thinking they were of my own party, and fell asleep there...
    May have left my phone there but didn't want to knock again just in case I never...
    Got a bit of stick for that...
    Expensive night out drink wise anyway...
    Limerick night club prices...

    Also, more recently...
    3 Jagerbombs for €19!
    Then after spotting my expression shrugged and sighed "Big city prices..." :rolleyes:

    Required:
    1 table
    12 cups
    enough beer or misc drink to fill cups
    1 or 2 ping pong balls

    Directions:
    set-up 6 cups on each end in a triangle shape.
    Aim is to throw ball into cup, if you get it in the other player has to drink it all. If you bounce it on the table and get it in they have to drink two.
    Alternate throws
    Can be 1 vs 1, 2 vs 2 etc.
    Must be behind the opposite end of the table and can't extend arm over the table.
    Other player can block a bounce shot but not a normal one.
    Once cup is consumed remove from game
    Cups can be re0arranged into a smaller triangle once the first three are gone.
    Winner is the one who gets the ball in all their opponents cups first
