Drinking Contest. I want to win.

[scorp76]

So a causal conversation with a girl, I happen to have an interest, turn into some big drinking contest with me, the sucker, front and centre against her.

From what I hear, she is a booze guzzler. The likely weapon of choice: vodka. Normally, I don't mind ending up puke drunk. But I was promised by her dire and humiliating consequences if I pass out.

So I need a sure fire way not to kiss the floor before her.

Any ideas?

Any ideas?Carbs and bread before taking ont he challenge. Something to absorb and buffer the alcohol before it hits the system too hard - besides ... if you are going to hurl at the end, you might as well make it impressive.

Yep a good sized meal before hand. Carbs bread. Try to stay away from the acidic stuff or you will puke.

Can you get your hands on some Vegemite? Eat a big teaspoon of that before you go out, dunno if it will help you drink more but it should lessen the hangover.

Otherwise, do shots of water instead and take advantage of the girl when she's loaded.

Thanks. I'll eat two boilded potatoes and a tablespoon of olive oil an hr before the contest :P

walk up to the bar, slip the bartender a $20 and have them pour you a shot of water every so many times, works like a charm

I was thinking the same minton. I have actually done it for people AND MYSELF back when I was a bartender. We always had two bottles filled with colored water for when people insisted on buying us a shot. The owner loved it.

Here is another trick. A shot of liqueur can easily be throw over your shoulder if you line things up first. Right after: Wipe your lips and gag, done.

Reminds me of my best bar trick. I would serve a chaser that tasted so shitty, they would want another shot.

We've done this at the local bar after work...but we didn't have to slip the bartender a $20. We explained the joke while the target victim was in the bathroom. She thought it was hilarious and happily played along.

One person ended up doing multiple shots. The rest of us were just drinking water the whole time.

Anything where you can coat your stomach (like the bread or carbs the guys suggested) or trying to equalise by chugging water before the contest starts. The alcohol will still hoit you, but it'll be later and the contest will be over by then.

Ya beat as much bread before drinking. Another thing is, even though some people won't believe it to a certain extent you can control how drunk you feel with your mind. Mind over matter. So just keep thinking your not even drunk yet and it will help you even for a few more shots.
