tonorator Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 how many have you done? i'm at 3. Top 10 Drinking Achievements Before You DieJune 19th, 2008 by Mitch Martin Even booze hounds need to have goals in life so, I decided to come up with a list of the 10 things that every true drinker should accomplish before they die. Not every item on the list requires drinking massive quantities of alcohol. Once you have covered every item on this list you will be a well rounded drinker who should have a shiat-ton of good stories to tell. Personally I can put a check mark next to six of these so it looks like I still have some work to do. Figure out where you stand and then plan your weekends accordingly. Case In A Day - 24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? I prefer to think not. You need to sit down with a couple of friends and a couple of cases and power through the day and the case. People that have never done this think it’s easy and the people that have, know it’s not. Added Difficulty: Keep a hand written journal of what you are doing each time you crack a beer. Bonus Points: If anything is legible after beer 17. Run The Taps At A Bar… Conditions: must have 12 or more taps. This is pretty self explanatory. Belly up to the bar and order a single pint of every beer they have on tap one after the other. You are going to get to try a lot of new beers and chances are you will be piss drunk before the sun goes down. Century Club - Pretty simple, 100 shots of beer in 100 minutes without puking. Much like the case in a day challenge people always think this is easy until they actually try it. 60 seconds starts feeling like 5 seconds once you pass the 70 minute mark. Brew Your Own Beer - Yeah it might not taste that great and you will be “that guy” that makes all your friends try their poopyty brew but every true booze hound has to give it a shot at least once. Pub Crawl Conditions: 12 or more pubs covering at least 1 mile. There is nothing better than getting a big group of friends together on a sunny day and catching a buzz while going on a walk. A beer at each stop with a short walk in between and you will be primed for a night of debauchery. Go To An AA Meeting at least once you should see how the other half lives. Learn a lesson from Charlie Kelly, throw out your beer before you actually get into the meeting. If you don’t somebody will rat you out. Learn Something About Wine And I don’t mean memorizing the flavors of Franzia, Carlo Rossi or Charles Shaw. Go on a wine tour and actually pay attention (without pounding Busch Lights between wineries) or go to a multi-course meal where they pair a wine with each course and explain why they go together. The knowledge will pay off each and every time you take a lady out for a nice dinner. Black Out Before Noon - Just once get out of bed at 9 a.m. and crack a beer instead of having your morning Tropicana. There are a finite number of years in life where you can get drunk before noon and not feel like a total oil and vinegar about it the next day. If you are a college football fan then this is easy to accomplish. If beer isn’t your bag first thing in the A.M. then I would recommend a Boones Farm Strawberry Hill. It’s slightly fruity, high in booze and fan-when I wore my first dressing-tastic. Oktoberfest in Germany - As someone who’s been there twice, trust me in terms of a unique alcohol experience, it’s pretty unparalleled. Any place where you can puke on the floor under your table, and one waitress jokes with you while she cleans it up and another brings you another beer is unique in my book. You haven’t lived until you’ve seen a girl throw up while making out with some dude so that it squirts out the side of their mouths. Gross but hilarious. –Mr. Wonka Scotch - learn to drink scotch either on the rocks or neat. Much like golf, it is a pain in the ass to learn, but it will pay off in the business world. While you are at it, learn the difference between bourbon and whiskey so that you don’t look like a total when I wore my first dressing hayseed. If you really want to get a gold star on your chart learn the difference between a blend and single malt as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twiley Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 (edited) 7 Never been to Germany, AA, or have attempted to brew beer. ETA: I could probably check off the remaining 3 by the end of the year if I wanted to. Edited June 20, 2008 by twiley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicCEO Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Case In A Day - Done many times Century Club - Pointless act. Did it once. Waste of beer and time. Brew Your Own Beer - Done it. Tasted terrible. Go To An AA Meeting - Thanks, Dad! Black Out Before Noon - Heh heh. Yeah. Sunfest 96. We did kegstands on the bus to that party. Learn to drink Scotch - I tried this from 96-97, I got to the point where I tolerated it pretty well. Then I stopped. Done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Irish Doggy Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 3, but frankly some of those don't sound like fun. Seriously, running the taps? Sure, sounds good in theory until you have to drink a crappy budweiser or some girlie cider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perchoutofwater Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 7 of 10 before I quit drinking. Never brewed my own, I was always into immediate gratification, and brewing took too long. Never took the wine tour, wine is for women and men who act like women Never been to Germany I always liked drinking shots of bourbon or tequila over beer and wine, because you got where you wanted to go faster and didn't have to stop to piss as much.

wirehairman Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 7 I've "run the taps" a couple of times at micro-breweries to sample every beer but can't remember and doubt they had 12 taps. However, I'm sure I hit one or two a few times. Never been to an AA meeting. Never been to Germany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearcatGreg Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Haven't been to Oktoberfest Never did 100 beer shots, but do I get credit for doing 60 in 60 minutes? Drunk before noon when you only started drinking at 9 am? Lightweight. Make it 2 pm and I can check that one off. Never brewed my own beer I plead the 5th on the AA meeting. Check yes to all of the remaining for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiegie Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 (edited) For all of you who might be lamenting that you have never been to Germany for Oktoberfest, allow me to tell you that, without fail, every single one of my German colleagues advised me to NOT go to Munich for Oktoberfest (although one guy did relent and say, "well, you Americans seem to really like that sort of thing" which he meant not as a compliment). I did stop by the local Oktoberfest in the city I was staying in and it reminded me of nothing more than the midway at a county fair or traveling carnival--from what I heard from everyone else, the Oktoberfest in Munich is the same, only bigger (and filled with more Japanese, Italian, and American tourists).
