I think my favorite brannigan was in Kamloops, British Columbia. I was there for a weeklong houseboating excursion. The scenery was breathtaking. Sandy beaches, natural waterfalls, hiking paths but mostly just drifting in the water. Not a day went by when I was not in my cups.

Unfortunately the other 2 guys and 3 girls were all terrible at piloting the boat, so more often than not that became my duty. We decided it would be my full time duty after one of the other fellows crashed into the floating store and sent it keeling over. I took the wheel from him at the last second and went into full reverse but too late...and of course it appeared to onlookers as though I was the one who had crashed. This was typical of our trip.

We had a slide on the back of the houseboat which I attempted whilst standing up, resulting in cracking the fiberglass and also my head.

I really liked one of the girls on the trip and proceeded to throw her from the top floor of the houseboat, narrowly missing her head on the edge of the pontoon. I jumped in after her with a life preserver and was given a good scolding. However that night we stayed up talking of life until almost dawn. We ended up kissing on the last night of the trip and she became my girlfriend several months later.

There was a particular beach where everyone would go to party and so there we went, and we relieved our colons into other people's baths, crashed parties for free booze and even found some Alaskan frat boys who were remarkably decent. Unfortunately they were still frat boys and as such only had cheap beer and Jagermeister, but it did the job. They said on a clear day you could see Alaska from our present location.

After leaving that beach I smelled burning wires. I made sure all appliances were off, but could still smell it. Removed the engine hatch and oh my! Flames, smoke and the like. After dousing the fire I investigated the problem. A battery wire had removed itself, shorted out and caused the fire. Unfortunately this meant we had no power for our radio to call home base.

More whiskey and I figured out to rig the power up so that we could call for help. However, as this houseboat was meant to be tied via stakes either to shore or by rope to a dock, we were floating at the wind's will without an anchor. Rocks approached and I laughed and drank. The help came shortly before we were dashed to the rocks.

I've never been on such a reflective and surreal trip. I hope someday for it to happen again. Slainte!

I gotta laugh when people debate the definition of "a bender" by days. I've been on R&R tours where I showed up for bus call pretty much undrunk and then proceeded to be continuously drunk for several months at a time, until the tour ended.

You sir put a new word in my drunkard dictionary.

Next time I tell people I was drunk for that long and they reply: You`re on a serious bender then huh?
I`ll go: Bender? Pfffff, get that weak shit outta here, I`m on a damn alcoholic tour!
Drink!

unfortunately I have had to go 12 or so hours maybe a little more sometimes without alcohol or used xanax or somas in its place when I got em free or cheaper than alcohol. :( I guess it doesn't technically count as a bender if only i had hustled harder for my booze i would have really pulled the 7 give or take months bender for real. it makes me disappointed in myself really because if i cant get shit faced nonstop what can I do? and i'm not trying to be sarcastic.
