Dear Jester,
I seek not to forment tribalism and division, I only wished to a begin a good natured contest and establish a thread whereby all can boast about their capacity to imbibe. (Many posters in these fine fora seem to find their alcohol comsumption relevant to just about any subject under discussion, I just thought "Hey, let's have a thread where alcohol consumption is the subject under discussion!")
Whilst drinking is an excellent opportunity for singing and friendship, I think the wisdom that comes with age draws me to the conclusion that Sex and drinking are seldom a good combination. If I ruled the world all Alcoholic Beverages would carry the warning - People seen through the bottom of this glass appear more Attractive and Interesting than they actually are!
Lastly, I agree. Drinking competitions should have at least 15 rules. I'm open for suggestions. I would however point out the best drinking competition rules are created during the competition itself, leading of course to highly creative rules, open to all manner interpretation and resulting in the fact that ultimately there are no losers, because we all will believe we won.
