5/40. I've got a LOT of drinking to do. Then again, I'm only 18. I love living in a province with the lowest legal drinking age on the continent...

I've got 14 of those...mostly thanks to 7 years of university.
edit: As it seems we're adding the numbers we've done...
1) East Side Mario's, Ottawa, ON Kentucky Derby Day 2000 4) Too many to mention 8) Pulled a road trip to Bridgwater, VA from Halifax, NS one weekend 9) LiquorDome, Halifax...pick a year 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. 32) Too many Celtic drinking songs to list 33) Stole beer from the coolers at JJ Rossy's, Halifax
I would like to point out that I had an advantage:
a) I'm Australian b) I have lived in the Northern Territory (one of the highest alcohol and iced coffee consuming districts in the world)

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)

Ouch. Not a damn THING. I've gotta get out more.
(checks)
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.

Frighteningly enough, I can also claim 25 from this list. 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.

You guys are craaazzzzzyyy. I can only count one of them, the 16-Get drunk with your father. And even that was not all the way drunk, but pounding down a few beers with my dad while we play Mario Kart: Double Dash at 2:30AM on vacation.
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)

21, surprisingly low considering how much drinking I have done starting in High School and thru 4 years at college and 4 years in post grad school.
The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it.
1.) Open and close a bar; they should have noted that it helps if the Bartender is one of your best friends. Makes this much more affordable. 2.)Go on a bender. Some of my best stories to tell around a bar come from a couple of benders 3.) Drink a fifth of hard liquor, by yourself, in one day; A college drinking buddy and I would do this on a regular basis. 4.) Dance like a fool in front of a large hooting crowd. 7.) Buy a crowded bar a round. 8.) Embark on an impromptu road trip. nothing like deciding to head to the cassino after a night of drinking. 9.) Get 86d from a bar. 10.) Extravagantly overtip a bartender. 11.) Walk up to an attractive stranger way out of your league and buy him or her a drink. You never know if you don't try. 12.) Conspire an afterhours at your favorite bar. 14.) Buy, build or steal a home bar. 15.) Get carried home by your drinking buddies. 21 shots on my 21st birthday springs to mind. 16.) Get drunk with your father. 17.) Fight a good fight. Reason for #9. 19.) Drunkenly watch the sun come up with your best boozing buddies and a bottle. 20.) Sit in on an A.A. meeting.

One of my favorite bars in college had 100 beers and punched a card for you every time you tried a different one. Plus they gave out prizes for 25, 50, 75 and 100. 24.) Juice on the job. Did this a number of times when I was a cook and a couple times at another job. 27.) Get loaded and tell your boss exactly how you feel.

17/40 and like brick I've been very close to several others. Being in college for 4 years and also a member of a sorority added to my adventures. Although a couple of these I did in high school.
and if there were anything on there about puking or nudity, my numbers would increase dramatically.

No wonder you're so ornery in the Politics forum! Maybe a good bender would help you hate those damn dirty liberals a bit less
Let's see if I have any of these:
1. Yup, did that this weekend with the NCAA tourney.
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.

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!
Yeah I bet some of those could be modified to be more friendly to our fellow female drunkards! Like instead of being carried home by drinking buddies I think flashing everyone in the bar would be an acceptable alternative (at least I know I'd allow it). Get drunk with your mom instead of your dad...even though I'd love to get drunk with my mom just because she doesn't drink much at all.
On another note, I'd have to say that drinking absinthe on the grave of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Hemmingway or Edgar Allen Poe would be worth HUGE points.
