Another sucessful ThanksDrinkingby adminSorry about the lack of updates during the holiday, you know how it is, we got drunk so we forgot. Anyway we had a great time, hope you did too. But just because the holiday has passed don’t worry. In about a weeks time we are going to be going back up and strong starting the wheels in motion for next year. And we are about to get a lot more content. -xc
It’s in full effectby adminSo just an update, were about 20 beers deep each. We think we are going to kick this keg very soon. We might have to go out tomorrow and get more beer. -xc Lets do this
And so it beginsby adminJust past 8. We just tapped the keg and it begins again. Short post just to let you know we started. Wishing you a happy ThanksDrinking. -xc Let us know if your coming along.

Funny Pictureby adminHere is a funny ThanksDrinking Photo for you. We are going to devleop a whole section for this, so check back often. Oh I think we are going to give a way beer…. more soon. -xc
All the answers lie behind the barby adminAll the answers lie behind the bar Frank Sinatra wrote a song that I believe he called a drunk’s song. Now I don’t know if that’s the name, its just what I have always known it as. But it seems to speak of a common knowledge that has almost become a cliché. The bartender has the answers. If you ever find yourself in a situation that is alien to you all you have to do is seek out the nearest local bar. I am not talking about a club bar, I’m talking about the bar that has about 10 old men sitting at it for lunch, and they don’t leave. I guarantee that if you go in there you can find out anything you need to know. In one of my random adventures I found myself hitchhiking down the west cost of the states. Starting in Portland ending up in LA. And whenever I needed anything you know where I went, and I always got what I needed. See, drinkers, we are a community and we take care of our own. If you are walking into a bar and drinking at noon on a weekday you might get looked down on by society but you wont be looked down on by a bar full of your peers. So weather you need directions, or need to know where to score some hookers you’ll find it. Just think of the bar as a really life Google. Even if you just need to tell your sad story there is someone in the bar with a sadder one, it will put your life into perspective. -xc
New Game and Rules Workby adminHey Everyone, The Rules Section is now up and Running and Brendan Coyle submitted Bonk for us. Bonk Rules Materials: Five dice, pen and paper, cups, beer, and at least two players. Object: Score 10,000 points using the dice. Scoring Dice: Ones are 100, fives are 50, three of a kind (in one drop of the dice) is that many hundred (three threes are three hundred, three fours four hundred ext.), except with one (three ones are a thousand). Straights (one through five or two through six in one drop of the dice) are worth 1,500. Keeping score: Determine the order you will roll in. For each turn you start by rolling five dice and trying to build a score. For each drop of the dice you must leave down at least one die (you may leave down more if you have more than one scoring dice you want to keep). For each subsequent roll in the turn you are trying to build on the score of the dice you have left on the table. For each subsequent roll at least one other die must be left down (so each roll will leave you with less and less die, if you reach a point with four scoring dice on the table and want to continue you will be left with one die to roll, if it is a scoring die you can pick up all five and continue if it is not you bonk). Your turn ends either when you freeze at a number or if you roll the dice with no scoring dice on that roll. If you roll dice and do not get any more scoring dice you lose all points left on the table for that turn and you have bonked. If at any time in your turn all five dice are live (contributing to the score, this means straights since all five dice must make up the straight, three of a kind with two other scoring dice, or any combination of the scoring dice explained above) you must pick up all five dice and continue to roll. If you do not roll further scoring dice the turn is a bonk and you lose the previous score, you must freeze when at least one of the dice on the table is not a scoring die (Hint: use strategy sometimes it is good to pick up a five and sacrifice the 50 points to increase your odds of not bonking on the next role, just make sure you leave at least one die down per roll or it will be ruled a stupid). Record all scores for each turn on the score sheet and keep a running total until somebody reaches 10,000. You may freeze as low or high as you’d like except on the first role. Everybody’s first role must be at least 300 to qualify for their first freeze of the game. Drinking: Any time a player crosses a multiple of a thousand (1000, 2000, ext) they are poured a drink in a glass. The amount is pre-determined but they are not able to roll again until the drink in the glass is gone. A player must complete their tenth drink to officially be declared the winner. Violations: Violations result in one loss of a turn. Consecutive violations between or on turns can accumulate to a loss or future turns. Milky – Player does not finish drink before their next turn. Sloppy – Dice fall off the table or dice are not picked up properly. The proper way to pick up the dice are one at a time without sliding them at all. Dice may never slide on the table while in a players hands. Sticky – One or more dice gets stuck in a players hands while rolling and hits the table significantly later then the other dice. Stupid – Going out of turn, freezing at the wrong number, trying to freeze with all live dice on the table, or breaking any other rule.
The beauty of Travelby adminBeer just makes things easier. And I mean everything, but today I want to talk about travel. Now with the sole exception of driving the car yourself beer makes traveling so much easier. I ride a train to and from work everyday for about an hour each way, but the best part of that is I can drink on the train. And I like that. What’s nicer than after a long day at the office to crack open a beer? Most people have to wait to get home, but I get the instant gratification after a hard days work. Its swell. But its not limited to just the train. Oh no. Air travel is made so much more convenient. It turns sitting on a cramped plane into only a mild irritation. Plus the air port bar is a great place to drink… really what else are you suppose to do? Afraid of flying? Well beer muscles works on planes too, it will take just enough edge off so that you aren’t contemplating just how fast the ground would be rushing up to meet you. Beer is the ultimate solution to all your travel needs…. Now if we could just power our cars with it. -xc
The time is upon usby adminThe time is upon us What are your ThanksDrinking day plans? -xc
Ok so a bunch going on in this post.by adminOk so a bunch going on in this post. First off the site is going great and we are growing, and its awesome. Not necessarily in honor of that, but more along the lines of we are now able too the site will be updating every day. Some days there will be lots of updates and sometimes there will only be one, be it a blog, or a game or some of the new sections which I will talk about later on in this post. However we do reserve the right to get drunk and miss a day of updating. Also starting this weekend, if not tomorrow, all the updates will be published through the blog as they are put up on to the site so you can always easily see what’s new everywhere. That being said we have a nifty RSS and atom feed…that I don’t know how to work yet (the blogger software is smarter than me). But look for a link for that stuff so you too can use it. Speaking of adding things to the blog look out for a face lift on the blog coming soon. I want to do it this weekend, but I make no promises because I can barley post blogs right. But it will look a little more polished and easier to navigate and read. New pages are also coming soon. These pages will be very much like the Games section where they require visitor participation. We haven’t worked out what exactly they are going to be yet, but one will make you laugh, the other will help get you drunk. And yet another will be a review page of sorts as we are currently in talks with a brewmister, but I have a feeling this will expand beyond beer reviews and we will review all sorts of fun things. And to make the site a little more interactive within the next 2-4 weeks in the games section you will be able to leave comments about the game and your thoughts, but again we have to learn to how first. So that sounds like all the news. Be sure to check tomorrow because there will be an early morning update.
