My buddy Jello told me about this. It's not so much a drinking game as a life style. Given my general inability to commit, I have not taken "the sacred oath" but I really love the idea. What am I talking about? From the bull moose terminology page of www.bullmoosedrinkingclub.com
Jello explained it to me as though you could never drink with your right hand. But (according to the site) it's a bit more nuanced. You may drink with your right hand, but you must have a beer in your left hand.
I don't know that I like the encouragement to chug pitchers of beer. And I certainly would be a bit reticent to chug my tulip glass of Tripel Karmelit if I were called with it at my beer bar. But at certain types of parties this could be a real hoot. Maybe I will just take the sacred oath one for one night at a time. Hmmmmm, sounds eerily similar to my relationships with women.
Bullmoose- Someone that has taken a sacred oath to always have a beer in their left hand and furthermore to always be on the way to keg if their beer is empty. In short, a great man.
Bullmoose Call- A Bullmoose Call is made when a Bullmoose is caught by a fellow Bullmoose with a beer in their right hand and no beer in their left hand. This is just a friendly reminder and should be appreciated by the gentleman being called on. To show thanks for the correction the gentleman will chug as fast as they can the contents of the container in their right hand. I would generally limit this to one 60 oz pitcher. If the Bullmoose has for example two pitchers in his right hand then he must only chug one of them. Unless he thinks that he can handle more. I have done the two pitcher chug in ten minutes.
False Moose- When someone makes a Bullmoose Call on a fellow Bullmoose and there is no infraction. For example: let's say that you have a beer in your right hand and you are hiding a beer behind your back in your left hand. This is completely within the rules and the person making the call would then have to chug whatever beer they have in their hand.
