Funny things you've overheard about beer

[Billy-Klubb]

The other night I ordered an Old Rasputin. Everyone looked at me like I was crazy. When the bartender brought it, I slammed half of it and filled the rest with ice and Clamato. Everyone was all like, "What are you doing?!?" I was like, "How do y'all drink your Eepahs?" It's like these people have no class.

Wrong thread...but this one is begging for such an on-topic poast...

Cheers!

While out on a walk, I was walking in front of these two ladies. One of them was telling the other about her weekend and she was talking about taking shots, in her words, "something called a hefeweizen."

I mean I understand playing power hour/century club or even having flights of beer, but she was talking about getting blasted off just shots of hefeweizen.

There used to be a thing in college where you'd do 1 shot of beer per minute for an hour. It gets you pretty messed up.

Assuming BMC and a 2 oz shot glass, I could see you getting a good buzz going.

I assumed 1.5 oz, but yeah - 1.5x60=90oz / 12 = 7.5 cans of beer in an hour, I suspect pretty messed up is a good description.

It's called Power Hour. There's even soundtracks you can get that keep you in pace.

Should try one with a berliner...

Yup, power hour it is.

My college house was 1009 and we would start our Power hour at 10:09 every Thursday night. Made for some really interesting Friday morning classes.

Up here it was Century Club. 100 shots of beer over 100 minutes. Doesn't count if you puke.

Every time someone brings up drinking games, I remember the time I went head to head with a dude at 40 Oz. to freedom, and he passed out after he finished one, so I finished both of mine, cut his second off his hand and downed it, then tried to jump over a six foot high bonfire.

Bad night.

That's called Edward 40-hands 'round here

Yep. We were big Sublime fans though. Turns out Dickies work pants are damn near fireproof, and wearing them 10 sizes too big likely saved me a trip to the ER.

Back in university, I wasn't really a beer drinker. My tastes were sweeter (Rum & Coke). Still, a few of us wanted to try a "Century Club" night, and the only drink we could all agree on was Strawberry Daiquiri Bacardi Breezers.

I made it to about 45 before I passed out. The next day was the worst hangover of my life.

Strawberry Daiquiri Bacardi Breezers? :smack:

That's a good way to get your man card revoked.

I LOL'd so hard people are still asking me if I am OK.

He totally deserved the hangover he got.

There's something to be said for lasting that long drinking something so sweet. I made it through a gallon of some cheap red wine that my parents gave me to "dispose of" in a night of beer pong. There's no shame. I didn't have a penny to my name so free was all I could afford. My frat brother and I put up our 500th win that night. The following hangover was more like a coma.

Back in my heavy drinking days I was rush chair and decided to do a beer bong for every pledge. That year we had our largest class in recent history and I did 22 sixteen ounce bongs. Surprisingly I not only didn't visit the hospital but was even functional the next day.

 

[1977Brewer]

Back in my heavy drinking days:

Last Tuesday.

 

[mcbaumannerb]

Last Tuesday.

Nah, these are my drinking heavy days. Back then it was yellow fizzy stuff. Saturday I had much less volume but much more alcohol.

Since I started homebrewing 5 years ago. I think I stopped counting about 5 years ago the number of ppl who think that hops are what gives beer it's alcohol content...

Was at a bar last night and every one of my beers came in an ice cold pint glass with zero head. I asked the waitress if she could bring my next one in a room temp glass and her response was "Oh, we serve the beer that way so you can really taste the malt." My face must have given away what I was about to say because my girlfriend nudged me under the table before I could argue.

At least you don't have to worry about the hair on your ass anymore

True story.

But only if it's made with real rocky mountain barley that was cold brewed by Sam Elliot.

Surprised he didn't start his period the next day...

Coworker said that stout was "Only good when served ice cold, in a frosted glass." I threw things at him.

I've heard that but about all beer. from craft beer drinkers.

I ordered a beer at a bbq joint last week and the waitress asked if i wanted a cold glass with it (it was a bottle of skull splitter) i said a room temp glass would be preferable. She came back with my beer and a glass that was dripping wet. She told me they didn't have any that weren't chilled so she held this one under hot water for a bit to warm it up. Kinda funny i thought, but she was doing what she could to complete my order.
