Melora, every little bit helps. Do you want G3 to beat us? Your one drink and then fall asleep may well put us over the line. It's a collective effort - it doesn't matter how much an individual can drink, it how much we all can drink together. (And falling down doesn't matter. I think. We will have to ask Jzyabel - she is clearly the expert on the rules.) It's possible that a lot of one drink wonders can be the same as one Andyr. As long as there are a lot. And he is drinking for both teams. So do not despair.

Borsook, I don't wish to cast nasturtiums upon your predilection to abstain, but is now the right time? My grandfather was teetotal, and my mother's Freudian decision to marry a drunk in reaction was perhaps not the smartest thing she ever did- leading to the first question she ever asked about boyfriends being "Does he drink?"- and an inherent respect among all the members of my family for people who can stay sober: however as we are engaged in a completely childish discussion about who could drink the most, suggestions that we have members who are not idiots undermine our cause. The competition for people who do not drink can be later.

One drink wonders are welcome. Horizontal drinking should never be frowned upon, it is rather a skill to be respected. Abstainers shall of course be welcome, someone has carry the bodies.

Hmm, interesting point. Will vomoting be calculated adversely in the judging?
And will the ability to bowl after drinking/vomiting enable bonus points? (I think it should.)

I'm not trying to butt in or anything, just all this reding about drinking made this question pop into my mind. Do carry on.

Vomiting will only be frowned upon if done publicly. The ability to remove oneself from the Arena on the advent of puking is an important skill to master, as it preserves both the dignity of the hurler and the ambience for the rest of us.

At the suggestion of Eral, Bowling will now be included in the skill portion of the competition. Points will be awarded for all pins knocked down, however pins knocked down in your own lane will count for double. Strikes will not be counted as it is a well recognised fact that any Strike occuring after the consumption of 4 or more alcoholic beverages is sheer bloody luck and has absolutly nothing to do with skill.

At the suggestion of my friend, with whom I am currently sharing a sassy little verdelho, and in the spirit of all good communal drinking events, A Chat Up Competition will now also be included. The judging panel will consist of abstainers. Points will be awarded for originality, spontenaity and effectiveness. Lines will be rated on a scale of one to ten. Claiming to be the Sultan of Brunei and offering 30 billion dollars to get someone to sleep with you will NOT be considered a valid pick up line unless you can provide proof of identity, a certified bank cheque for 30 billion dollars, and tours of the bathroom on your private plane on request.

Negotiations with regard to the location of the competition are underway. At present there are 2 options. Firstly someone will sleep with the Sultan of Brunei and use some of the proceeds to sponsor the competition, bringing competitors from all corners of the earth to a central location and picking up the tab. In the alternative, in a breathtaking feat of logistics not seen since um... Live 8, drinking venues will be set up across the face of the globe with live camera feeds etc so that all interested parties could partake in the splendour of an international festival of friendship, bowling and internet-inspired carousing, that would put the machinations of the United Nations to shame.

I could probably give you a run for your money. Then beat you at bowling.
I wish I had thought of it, but I didn't.

I think we are still going to need someone to sleep with the Sultan to achieve Option Number 2. What about we hold it on PPG island, and everyone can BYO?

Ohh, Userunfriendly that one drink could put your team over the line. And if we have an Impromptu Song element in the comp, you are going to score mega points.
