Calm before the storm

5 beerdie tables
64 mugs
50 flipcup... cups
6 kegs
5 completely irresponsible roommates who haven't matured at all since the first year of university

I think we're going to get kicked out after this weekend.

haha, can't do maths, but we just played, "the ice cube game" all night. involves passing ice cubes from mouth to mouth in a circle. we got through a lot of ice cubes, and pissed off a few boyfriends, but was fun.

good luck with eviction or whatever's going on.

Well, I'm 'hiding' in my room.  I got knocked out of the beerdie tournament in the first round for the first time in my life, and after that it was a story of just standing by the keg and pounding beers.  So, I'm sitting in my room right now in an attempt to pace myself...we'll see if that works, but there's so many people yelling I'm going to get drawn out soon.

The problem with beerdie is you drink too much when you don't need to because there's always twenty min. downtime at least between games.  And draft beer fucks me up and makes me tired.  I have a red bull here, but I can't drink too many of them or my heart races and freaks me out.  The thing is it's eight, and I've only got one red bull.  I can drink it now, and later probably find some other, much less sociably acceptable pick me up later, or I can continue to be anti...

Fuck it, I'm drinking it now. 

And 6 kegs turned into 9.  I hope those last because I really don't want to hit up a shitty club right now.  Anyways, you guys all have fun, this was actually a pretty good way to kill 20-30 min.

These stories used to make me a little sad that I don't really have buddies to drink much with and stuff anymore, but honestly, I'm really glad I basically stopped drinking.  I had 3 drinks tonight at my sister's place where we had a BBQ, but for the most part I barely drink anything more than a glass of wine in the evenings.  And I love it.  I'm getting back in shape again... two 25 minute walks to and from the subway to work everyday, and a 20 minute workout in the morning... and I just can't imagine going back to that stuff again.  I feel so much better now.

Anyway, have fun!  Drink one in honor of me... uh... not drinking so much now.

The rules change greatly from region to region, but here's the general game:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_Die

hands down the best drinking game around since it's the only one I've come across that is competitive enough to enable well organized tournaments and actually requires a fair deal of skill to be good at.

So anyways, after I hid in my room and re-emerged, it was brought to my attention that there was a secondary bracket for the 'best' losers.  The prize = giant mugs and some shirts.  We totally dominated and the final round came down to the most amazing die throw, bobble catch,partner-bobble, wall ricochet, dunk I've ever seen courtesy of me...which led to more drinking and red bull. 

The downside is we went through all the kegs before 12:00 (3 full sized, 6 of the larger commercial  restaurant variety) so the girls couldn't finish their flip cup tournament.  Me and a couple buddies pounded back a 40 of tequila which was pretty much a night ender for all of them but me, since I was fully high off energy drinks and in stupid mode.

I started text messaging, got in a cab, and went to a seedy bar to meet a girl.  I ran into a buddy I used to work with there and we quickly got thrown out of the bar for throwing dice.  I made out with the hot south american girl in a dirty alley, hopped in a cab with her, realized I lost my phone, hopped out promising to meet her at her place after I found it.  Cabbed home, found it, decided that there was no way I was dropping $60 on a cab to her place so I hopped in another one to another girl's house I know who was having a party.

She works at Lulu lemon and pretty much everyone there was through work.  It was also a mojito party.  They had no idea how drunk and belligerent I was.  I'm pretty sure I successfully alienated all her guests with my proclamations of how much greater I am then them , and made fun of some guy wearing the most dumb ass emo clothes I had ever seen.  Thank god he wasn't violent because he totally would have kicked my ass.

I then proceded to stop the party by making out with her against the wall, which probably made everyone feel slightly awkward. Waking up there in the morning was hell because I hate catching the bus, and then walking into my partially destroyed house was brutal.  And for some reason the best part about throwing a party is all the hung over die hards hanging out in the morning telling stories about the night before.   

Oh, and not one neighbour complaint.  Probably because the booze ended so early and they're used to us going much later.  I got a few phone calls the next day from the uninitiated thanking me and telling me that the house is fully approaching legend status.  Good times all around....much better then the weekend before which ended up with me being punched in the head by a bouncer from behind two times and kicked out of maybe the seediest bar in town...which one of my best friends is the head bouncer at.  That's when you know you did something stupid.

haha, sounds like a pretty awesome night! good work.

i'm reading through the bear die rules now, it's a lot more complicated than any drinking games we play. the only game our group plays with any kind of regularity is called "arrogance". you have an empty pint glass that goes around the table, and when it gets to you, you add as much of your drink as you think you can down. someone flips a coin, if you win, the pint gets passed to the next person, and then they have to add some of their drink. when the coin toss is lost, whoever added to the drink last has to down it. you can end up with some pretty nasty concoctions of drink, and i've seen countless people vomit from this (myself included).

Well, binge drinking is way overrated. I'd much rather have 3-4 and have a good time than 20 and act like an idiot / not remember a damn thing.

That Beer Die game sounds like fun, though. Maybe a little complicated- I'm used to beer pong.
