Bring a bag full of those little tiny liquor bottles and everytime someone mentions being sad, throw one at them.

Go predrunk, then celebrate later. Listen and observe. Know thine enemy!

Can you get credit for reading this board?

Your 4 Step Program:

1.) Frontload

2.) Buy copies of Modern Drunkard, place on back table with their literature.

3.) Laugh ass off.

4.) Reutrn to drinking heavily.

20.) Sit in on an A.A. meeting.
Not all accomplishments are rum and games. File this under the heading of facing your fears. Just as Jonah found enlightenment in the belly of a beast, so will you. You may come to look at it as a undrunk examination of the safety net (or trampoline, as the case may be). You may view it as a cautionary trip to hell. Either way, you’ll never have to wonder again.

MDM holds all the answers.

I read a book review for an etiquette guide that had just come out. I'm not sure if it was purely for comedy or just a humorous presentation of these new etiquette rules, but it said that it is acceptable to go to your first AA meeting intoxicated.

That being said, I would advise against going wasted, slightly buzzed maybe. You need to have all of your wits about you to steel your resolve against their temptations.

Also, your school might have rules about something involving drunkieness that may get you in a pickle.

ya i wouldnt go plastered, but i might have a few before hand. and a few afterwards. and maybe one from the flask if i take a bathroom break :twisted:

if i had the balls to do it, i would bring a bag full of nips ( the little bottles, i donno what you guys call'em) and hand them out

I accompianied a friend to one last winter. Be alert, and I agree with Savage, know thine enemy.

I had to attend 8 meetings in 6 days. I shudder just thinking about it. First meeting, some chick bought me a book. I read it when I'm drunk occasionally. It's got some interesting stories, I guess. I like to think of it as a cult. Sit there silently in the back and wait it out. Take notes if you must. It's silly what the majority of the people take to heart.
