My regular bar has issued me a challenge

It's 16, they're listed in an above post, the ? one is confirmed as a skunked Delirium, which is a crying shame, especially since I'm probably the only one who knows it's skunked and I haven't the heart to tell them. The big bottle Belgians are still up for negotiation. I can take the tap run, just have to be smart about it and not get The Bloats, which is what killed us when we did the beer tower record, we took it and padded it by two but myself and two other key personnel were too full and bloated to soldier on into a complete blowout. Myself and my bro rallied, but morale was defeated and we needed one more at least to effectively put it to the sword. Needless to say, the buddy of mine who only lives 1/4 of a mile from the bar was not happy to see me at 1 AM.

So basically your going for 20 beers over the course of the day right? What size pours are the tap beers? Pints? What size are the bottles?

How long is the place open? If you have more than 5 hours it should be a breeze. A beer every 15 minutes. And if you've got 10 hours hell that's only a beer every 30 minutes. You're home free dude.

Make sure Steve is there to witness the proceedings and take pictures.

They're open 11 AM til 1:30 AM Thu-Sat, with Thursday being the likely canididate. The glasses are typical bar pints (they also have quart mugs), except for the Framboise and Delirium. It's the Belgians that worry me, and I'm pretty sure that's the first time in history anyone has said that. If they go for the whole bag of marbles, I'll be looking down the barrel of the Of the Chimay Grand Reserve 750 (9%), Duvel 750 ml (8.5%), Saison DuPont 750 (6.5%), and a Fin Du Monde short boy (9%). Those change the game from a leisurely jog to the gauntlet. The taps won't be too bad, in fact I'm thinking of doing that regardless tomorrow, it's 3PM-1AM happy hour, so it'll be like getting every fourth one free. My only other real stumbling block is getting up before noon on a day off.

Knock 2 of the 750's out right off the bat, maintain buzz with taps, have another 750 somewhere along the way and finish with the last Belgian. You can do it!

Edit: when I say right away I mean like chug.

Operation Tap Attack was a complete success Thursday night. Next is the taps with the Belgians, as soon as my wallet regenerates.

My strategy is go in after I eat a family size KFC taters and gravy, and take the Chimay blast right out of the gate and then switch to something I don't care for like the cider and then the Boddy, and then enjoy a few of my usuals. My ace in the hole will also be my two least favorites: the Bud Light and the Framboise(8 oz.) will let me catch my breath. The two Belgian juggernauts worry me, but i f I can put them down by the halfway mark, I should be OK.

This paragraph is the most awesomest motherfucking paragraph I have ever read. If I ever have to go to alchohol-war, I want YOU, sir, leading me into battle.

You can do it! I'd recommend sipping a little water now and again to avoid too much dehydration. Sometimes the dehydration factor can make you wane in your quest. Best of luck and hit us up with a full report!

Horrible advice he's drinking beer volume will be his main concern which is also why I recomend the food come into play only after the beer munchies set in.

Sage advice there. i'd get the cider out of the way early, i tend to find that if i've had a belly full of lager, a cider on top gives it the "Snakebite" and tends to roll my head around a bit... but then i love the stuff.

I'd recommend chugging until you can't chug no more, and then settling in for the long haul. If you can rail 4 or 5 of those beers in the first half hour, you have a nice relaxing drinking session in front of you, with extra PR points for sprezzaturra. You got this in the bag, buddy. Don't look at it as a challenge, but as a good night of free drinks on behalf of your ever-so-appreciative local. Attitude is everything, man.

H.P.,

I haven't carefully read all the posts on this thread, but what is the time-window (limit) for total consumption? I didn't notice a time limit but I may have missed it from a previous post.

Is there a "pass out" or "puke" rule? ie: If you pass out or puke but revive yourself within the time limit, are you allowed to continue?

One bit of advice: DEFINITELY space out the Belgians. I would consider saving one for last, because if you're teetering at that point, you could PROBABLY slug it down and keep it down long enough to win. If you bunch 'em up, you won't finish.

Just be glad there's no Gordons Special amongst the Belgians (12% alky).

CHEERS! and happy drinking.

One more thing,

Regarding the "water or no water" debate; you WILL be pissing a LOT and I personally believe that water will help keep the flow going strong and clean PLUS, when the body is dehydrated, nothing functions as well and alcohol definitely leeches moisture from the body. However, Oggar's makes a good point about overloading the stomach's storage capacity.

You MIGHT want to schedule a couple of low-level (easy on the Belgians) practice runs -- one with the occasional glass of water, one without.

Remember, practice makes perfect!

Coriolanus · Post by **Coriolanus** » Tue Apr 01, 2008 2:24 pm

Eh, practice makes it a bit unfair. Just go in and balls-to-the-wall drink. I mean, that's kinda the point, isn't it? You're going to get extremely shitfaced. Embrace it. Love it. Be about it. I have faith in you, man.
