There was a drinking competition at our uni last night called "Beat the Bartender". Anyway, I won, and I beat the bartender. :) Out of around 45 people that signed up for the compo, 3-4 of which are very expirienced drinkers, I managed to win.

I had two beers before the contest started. Party started at 10, contest at 12. What was I supposed to do for two hours?

Rules were pretty straightforward though. Do what the bartender tells you to do. If you drink water, go to the toilet, puke or pass out you're disqualified.

The first event was pretty simple - fastest beer drinker. 25 people are disqualified, 20 go into the next round. I was beat by ONE guy, who took a few sips of the beer before the go-ahead.

Then, we had to drink 3 shots of Jack Daniels (in pretty big shot glasses, not the teency Tequilla ones) combined with 3 shots of pineapple juice, in 10 seconds or less. Took me 9.

Then, we had to drink two shots of Bamboosa (or something like that, dont remmember the name), which was set on fire, and we had to drink them through a straw. That was damn nasty - the thing was too damn hot, and very strong. A friend of mine that was playing next to me had one comment when he saw the bottle - "We're all going bye-bye.". No time limit.

After that, I believe the vodka came. It was mixed with something red, and had a pretty nice taste, but the trick was, to hold the glass with both hands - one on the bottom, one on top, mix it, drink it, then close it, and open it in front of your face and smell it. The smell got me drunker then the damn vodka. Amazing! Fastest time.

Afterwards, I believe we had to drink two shots of Metaxa (greek drink, very strong), fastest drinkers continue. Pretty simple. Fastest time.

After that, I believe we had to drink the submarines, but not with tequilla, but ouzo. Pretty strong. Fastest time.

After that was the fun part. Two shots, two bottles of beer. Drink one shot, drink one beer, drink the 2nd shot, drink the 2nd beer. Fastest time. Bow down.

Three of us are left at this point.

And as far as I remmember, there was only one round left. Pretty simple. The bartender said that he could drink 5 shots of Ursus (red vodka drink), before we could drink 1 shot of ouzo. He also had three plastic cups with about half an inch of water in them. There were rules though. We dont touch his glasses/cups, he doesent touch our glasses/cups, and we couldnt get anyone from the outside to touch any of the glasses or cups.

We're all around 20cm from the bar, hands behind our backs, nobody touches the shots before the judge guy says go.

What the bartender did was actualy sneaky, but quite cool. Right when the dude said go, he put the plastic cups over our shots. Cant touch em, remmember. Now, while the other two dudes were poking their heads what to do, I just got some air, and blew at the thing. It tipped over, and I drank my shot. Beat the bartender too.

Show me some respec.
