8) Pulled a road trip to Bridgwater, VA from Halifax, NS one weekend

10) I enjoy overtipping
15) Carried home...let's see. Dalhousie Frosh Week '90, 91, '92, '93...
16) Fishing trips to Cape Breton with Dad
19) Halifax, sure it's been done more than once
18) Keith's Brewery, Halifax (and Freeway, it's a fantastic tour!)
21) Big Goats Pub Walk '95
22) Many, many different drinks over the course of time
30) Again, fishing with Dad.

Now, WHICH 25 is the biggest question.
4) Uncle's Wedding, Nova Scotia
10) Depends on what you consider "extravagant", but a $50 seems pretty good.
15) Once in a while...
16) Same wedding as 4.
24) I decline to elaborate, except that I won a bet.
I'm planning to do steps 1, 2, 3, 7, 18 (Keith's), 19, 20 (Sooner or Later), 21, 22 (More than halfway there), 23 (Ireland or England), 26, 28, 31, 32, 34, 36 & 37.

Checked No's
1)Daly Waters NT 10am-10:15pm
2)Easter '95 Berri SA
3)Ugh Pick one. Frequent 92-97 Most Recent Newport News VA, USA
4) Again pick one I'll choose '96 Stanford Grande Glenelg SA - Doing the macarana by myself.
8) (you may need to consult an Atlas)Went from Adelaide SA to Townsville QLD by road up the east coast and back again. Took 3 1/2 weeks '95/96
9) Not called an 86 here but I was barred from the Mannum Club SA in '95
10) You could probably argue this, but we spent 4 days drinking in Airly Beach Qld in '97 at this one bar/restaurant. We were pretty obnoxious (dancing on bar, vomited in foyer, multiple cocktails, noisy, etc) One girl has been rostered on for about 80% of the time we were there and pretty much had the shits with us (Margie was her name)One guy with us was really bad on the last day and the rest of us started to get pretty embarrassed. On behalf of the rest of us I slipped her a Grey Nurse ($100 note) as we left without a word.
11) '96 Players Adelaide SA - Any given Friday in footy season. My friends and I had a 'phase' of this for a while.
15) Portland Vic '96
16) Quite a few times '89 - '93 before his death in '94 (10 year ann next week)
17) Too often Adelaide '96 Angry phase coupled with amateur boxing training
19) Happened a view times in '95 and '96
21) The good old aussie pub crawl. Numerous '93-'98
22) Counting different types of beer and different cocktails as different. On the occasion in Airly Beach we worked through the behind the bar cocktail book. Expensive times.
24) Some social lunches '03
25) One of Moet when we bought our first home '02
29) Go the Firkin Egg! Fox and Firkin English pub Adelaide SA '94
30) Happened a few times. I'll choose '97 Dundee Beach west of Darwin NT. Nothing like being loaded in a boat fishing in croc infested waters - at night!
31) A Dare '96 Mates place in Adelaide. Impromptu piss-up
32) Drinking songs - an australian? how many would you like? The timeless "down down down down" or the "drinkmuthafuckerdrinkmutherfuckerdrink" or the controversial "who is Julia"
33) Restaurant Warnambool Vic '95
35) Argue this, because it wasn't called that, but in '98 and again in '03 I started to chronicle my life during the turbulent '92-'98. I had it planned out, untitled, but abandoned on both occasions in case people who knew me, but not my background happened to read it.
38) Worked (underage) in Maffra Vic '89. Also ran the apprentice graduation bar in '90 and '91
39) In '96 I was known as quite the homebrewer. My backshed was known as the Suckback brewery.
40) XMAS '89. Maffra Vic. I was just leaving for the military and had farewell drinks with dad and his friends. When we got home loaded, mum (devout Catholic) whisked me off to midnight mass.
Missed out on 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, 14, 18, 20, 23, 26, 27, 28, 34, 36, 37.
Surprised to see a lack of:
Public Nudity
Vomiting
Injuries counted.
BTW '90 - '98 Full time job, reasonable pay, no significant other, no loans, 100% expendable income! I have however slowed down and am now a shadow of my former self (which is a good thing)
EDIT Got a date wrong!

Four days... wait a minute... yes, I HAVE been on a bender. Thank you, Senior Week.  And although Red Hook isn't my favorite beer, it's up there, so we'll count that. Maybe I should re-do this.
#2: Senior Week, May 2003.
#18: Red Hook Ale brewery, August 2003.
Close calls:
#16: If my father would leave the house, August 2003. My mother MAY have had a drink that night, though, and we were at the same bar.
#17: I wasn't actually IN a fight, but I was involved in a fight... got a table sent into my leg. November 2003.
Yeah, I still need to get out more. And I'm still young... there's time. | bash91

In my defense, I was a member of a fraternity at an all male college and also spent the better part of seven years working in food service. Combine the two and I'm really surprised that it was only 25 or 26, depending on how you define fishing trip.

4) Dance like a fool in front of a large and hooting crowd
10) Extravagantly overtip a bartender (they were real nice, talked with me for most of the time, and even comped me a couple beers, I felt obligated)
14) Buy, steal, or build a home bar
17) Fight a good fight
18) Visit the source of your favorite beer, wine, or liquor (I live in St. Louis, its not hard to do, and you get free beer at the end of the tour. My brother actually works for AB, and gets two free cases of beer every month, which is much cooler than getting two glasses of beer free at the end of the tour)
21) Hit a dozen bars in one night (I feel cheap taking this one since I actually didnt drink in all but one, me and a friend were trying to find a bar with some room a couple years ago to watch the Orange Bowl when the Hawkeyes got stomped)
23) Get loaded in the land of your forefathers (went to Germany in high school on one of those extracurriculur group trips)
24) Juice on the job (had a couple beers in the lab after a friend of mine got their grant funded)
30) Go on a fishing trip
32) Learn at least one traditional drinking song (Kiss me I'm shitfaced by the Dropkick Murphys is my favorite)

2. Ironically, this also was with the NCAA tourney.
3. Damn...this was a long weekend
4. Oh please, I'll do that shit sober, I have no dignity.
7. How crowded does the bar have to be to define "crowded"? Can 9 people suffice?
8. I got sucked into going 8 hours with a friend to visit a dog breeder because he plied me with booze the night before.
10. Yeah. At the local bar my friends and I went to all the time when our bartender graduated college we tipped her $150 the last night she worked there.
17. Hasn't everyone done this at some point? Never trust a man (or woman) who's never been in a bar fight.
19. Yeah, toasting to the sunrise always is a hoot. Oftentimes this coincides with marathon poker games.
21. Only the once. I have to argue this. I prefer finding that one good bar and staying long enough that the bartender starts hooking your group up with free booze.
22. I know I gotta be close on this one. If I haven't made it yet, I'm taking the point in advance of the milestone
26. Yup, after a good night of cards I have hooked up the local homeless with some cash.
35. It shall be titled "Love Gone Wrong: Me and My Liver"
40. Isn't that what weddings are for? Visiting a church drunk.
Eh, 14 of 40. I'm a boring drunk.

Reposted on: 24.3.11 1717.51 | | Ah, my sisters! I'm only at 10, but I'm convinced that there are some acceptable substitutions that would nudge my score up. One bottle of the *same* hard liquor? Booorrriiing! Fishing trip? Too "peeing in the woods" guy-centric. Shopping trip: hit a bar, hit a store; lather, rinse, repeat. Drink with father? Feh. Cocktails (numerous) with mom? That's a plan! |
