Just so long as the real you gets the combined hangover from all the drinks your clones have.

Sharing plans for world domination is a tradional drinking activity, however turning it into a competive sport could prove a little violence prone. How about a essay competition, "If I ruled the world...".

Ghreyfain, you may have solved our cash crisis. Sponsorship from the maker of hangover cures. {Insert Sponsors Name Here} cures hangovers - 1000+ drinking competitors can't be wrong.

Essay writing in a drinking competition is not going to work. You saw Corvis' thread, didn't you? So not going to happen. Imagine trying to read the things.
Violence is an unfortunate side-effect of drinking, however it is my observation that the stupidity of the drinker greatly increases the likelihood of it. As the vast majority of us here who are of drinking age are not too scarily dumb, I think we'll be alright. We can always appoint a large number of people whose duty will be to sit on anyone who looks like forgetting the rules of civilised drunken behaviour.  Failing that, we can always choose to remove points from any team whose member throws the first punch.

I volunteer to sit on those that forget the rules.  :)

Rules? What rules?

If there were no rules, how could we break them?

All truly good drinking competitions break -er, adapt their rules as they go.
It's quite amazing how many fun things you can come up with once you have passed the bounds of sobriety. For instance, how many people can you fit in a linen cupboard? Is it five or eight? (Unfortunately, we had no-one sober enough to record accurately.) I know you can fit 14 people in a Datsun 120Y -that's a very small car, for you non-Australians. Bigger than a Mini, but only just. If the glove box had been bigger we would have had 15.
I could discuss further how we pushed the envelope as drunken young people but good taste prevents me.
