The Craziest Night Of My Alcoholic Life... Thus, Far.
Thursday, April 09, 2009
I'm blogging this for posterity's sake.
The craziest drinking session in my life occured on April 2 and 3, 2009 at Il Ponticello. I organized a reunion for a friend from Australia who's vacationing for a week in the country. She wanted to see our highschool batchmates so I invited the usual suspects and then some. We played "I Have Never (or as she puts it, "I've nevaaaahh") and that made us drink shot after shot of their Bend Me Over cocktail. There were probably 10 of us seriously ingesting the cocktails that we consumed an estimated 30 shakers. It seems that management enjoyed having us over that they invited us back for Part 2 of our reunion the very next night but this time, drinks are on them until 11pm. Never one to turn down free drinks, I said yes! (Something from A that rubbed off on me ;) )
But people had plans and only 7 of us ended up going and apparently, we still managed to max out the budget for our open bar! All 5 digits worth! I know it was the most I've drunk my entire life cuz not only did we take shot after shot, but my friend, yes, the cutie mentioned in the previous post, and I split a pitcher between us when everyone else left!
In total, we consumed 15 pitchers, equivalent to 50 shakers or 350 shots. Split between the 7 of us, that's 50 shots each. Glady, Nik and I definitely consumed more than that because a) 2 people in our group were guys and preferred beer though they still took shots with us and b) Elaine was under medication and probably just drank a shaker herself.
We did a good job getting Nik drunk though and she awarded us as the group that got her most drunk.
As for my casualties? None at all (except for my two left feet!) Seriously! Even the manager told me I left sober! (Why am I being defensive? :p) I guess as my tolerance for alcohol increases, my experiences in "responsible" drinking increases too. THAT, or I'm actually part Russian, part fish.
PS. I can't believe I can drink this much! I used to not drink at all. My alcohol tolerance surely increased after the break up! :p
