    I really don't like being forced to drink a certain way.

    I've never taken so many pictures with strangers!

    Treasure those photographs. Frame 'em and hang 'em because they'll mean so much in years to come.

    We did it last week in Cork. All of us dressed as reindeers except the tall guy of the group dressed as Santa claus. Great fun

    12 pubs is my idea of hell.

    Saw a good few groups last weekend. All traisping around in their 'funky/wacky' christmas jumpers, looking like sheep, binge drinking.

    (man, I'm an old fart)

    30 mins per pub, bell rings after 25 mins, 1 drink per pub, after 30 mins outside for photo then move on

    That's actually the main reason I hate it.

    You're having a leisurely pint and all these groups pile in the door and barge their way to the bar to get served within the "time frame".

    A pox on choreographed drinking on the clock.

    30 mins to drink a pint is loads of time unless you are a yank on holidays spending 2 hours to drink a pint of guinness.

    Buckfast is counting as two pubs for us.

    A litre of beer in a beer tent is 2

    The nightclub will count as 1.

    I can't wait

    Not when you factor in everybody getting served in a busy pub.

    12 pubs is one of the best days of the year, its a once a year event and people should actually try have a bit of fun now and then besides knocking those who do.

    theres 20 of us doing it next weekend and its our 7th year doing it.

    12 pints is considered OK in Irish society ?


    That's completely irresponsible to be promoting.

    Ah 12 pubs, Nothing like a load of people barging into a pub wrecking everyones buzz then one by one asking "what's your cheapest pint" before standing around not talking because they're trying to catch each other out for the forfeit.

    ****.

    Some of the Irish have an extremely delinquent attitude towards alcohol. The difference in attitude between the Germans and the Irish is extraordinary. And the Germans are a people who enjoy their beer. But rarely to self-medicate. Or to forget.

    Allow max 25 mins to get served, 5 minutes to down a pint is well doable.

    Organised fun is seldom fun.
    Just going for one and then heading home is the start of a session.

    Have to admit-i always have a great time doing the 12 pubs.

    Go to bars ive never been and never stay somewhere long enough to get bored.

    always great craic.

    Just because you go to 12 pubs doesnt mean you have to have 12 drinks and get obliterated.You can have a coke(waits for abuse).

    It's not like the germans had to restrict all you can drink student nights because people were dying.

    I thought it was crap till I did it.

    None of the silly rules except one drink per pub. I only did pints for the first 7 or 8. Then moved onto whiskey and coke because my tummy couldn't handle any more Guinness.

    It was a nice evening. I wasn't too hammered either.

    This +100.
    Having 12 drinks is an ordeal enough for most people without moronic rules such as, it has to be a pint, you have to drink it in 10 minutes or you get a forfeit of a shot. If people are struggling with the volume of alcohol, do you really think even more is going to help?
    How about a rule (if you must) that if you haven't finished your drink as everyone is leaving, you sit out the next one or can only drink a pint of water as punishment. bit of a win-win there

    You always find the person pushing for these stupid rules is always the one who is a borderline alcho, and can be found in pub 11 or 12 staggering/swaying around knocking over other peoples drinks and dribbling down their chin.

    Sir , no borderline alcho would be seen in the company of organised drinking groups , only fecking amateurs do monolopy or 12 pubs, they along with work are cure for the drinking glasses
