I'd Like To Tell You About A Game!

[Peaceblossom]

No, not a video game, but a drinking game, for the Wednesday-night drinker / alcoholic inside all of us.

Yesterday a friend of mine and I went out to a bar for some pints, but the busy pub and loud karaoke was a rather large turn-off for us, so after a few beers we decided to go to a bit of different place. We found this place that was pretty empty (Only a couple other groups of 4) and relatively quiet.

The two of us took a seat at the bar and noticed all the liquor lined up nicely along the back wall. I thought to myself, "I've never tried about 3/4 of the liquor that's up there". We found a very unique solution to this problem. We invented a new game.

It's called Throw the Coaster at the Wall of Liquor, and Drink What You Hit, and it works just like it sounds. If you hit between two bottles, you drink half a shot of each, if you ricochet off one into an other, you drink half a shot of each, and if you hit one face on, you drink a shot of that.

Now, you can play several ways. Each person gets a turn to throw, and everyone drinks what they hit... or you can play where each person throws for themselves, and does their own shot. The latter produces a greater variety of drinks overall.

It might be a good idea to clear this idea with your bartender before you start throwing coasters.

The two of us spent about $50 each on liquor, and were more than satisfied at the end of the night. After enough shots, we started getting mixed drinks, and drinks on the rocks to make them go down a little easier.

I think this has a lot of potential with small bars and pubs, and it was a blast and a half. Watch out for the hangovers... mixing lots of alcohols tends to promote that deadly gut-rot and headache.

Thoughts?

What if the bottle breaks?

Sounds fun, but I'd be concerned that the barkeep would get mad at me for throwing things around. lol

I would lose it if you did that at my bar, unless you were tipping well that is.

When was the last time you broke a bottle with a flimsy piece of card-paper? Maybe you use tougher coasters (Like tile ones?) where you're from. Odds are, if the bartender is going to let you throw things around (Ask first, obviously), they're not going to have nice shit to begin with.

Sounds fun, but I'd be concerned that the barkeep would get mad at me for throwing things around. lol

That's why when we proposed the idea to the bartender, we said "Is it alright if we play a game called Throw the coaster at the wall of bottles, and drink what we hit?" He replied with "That's not only alright, but encouraged!" as he was intrigued by the idea, and selling more liquor.

So assuming you'rer drunk and throw wooden coasters. Chances are you spend about 50$ on drinks and quite a lot more replacing all the shit you just broke with your 2 pointers.

Sounds like a great idea!

Man, what's with you guys and having nice coasters at your pubs and bars? We don't have that kind of nice shit out here. It's all the flimsy disposable ones.

I'm thinking more of the bottle tipping and smashing on the ground. But yeah, good idea.

I bet it happens more often then you think.

Have you seen Rigs lumberjack arms?

From what we did, the glass didn't even move. The bottles just weight too much compared to the coaster.

I bet he has a lumberjack dick too. :3

I dont drink, but if I did I'm sure this would be quite fun.
I think the best games are the ones you and a friend invite whilst bored.

[Zombified]

Sounds like a decent enough game. Only problem is that I can see some bottles being broken, and the bar-tender not liking the idea very much. I wouldn't let this go on in my bar.

Even though that wasn't your idea, I would like to introduce a drinking game as well. Watch Bill Maher's show and take a sip whenever he says something bad about religion. By the end of the show, let's hope you're not dead.

Actually on Monday we watched Taledega Nights and drank every time somebody said "Ricky Bobby", "shake n bake", or any reference to speed. Needless to say, I passed out after about 20 minutes.

hahaha that sounds awesome. I have done similar but instead we watched random TV shows, and drank whenever someone referred to a colour. (which happens a lot surprisingly)

It should be a spinge ball instead of a coaster, or the smallest of your companions.
