So, you guys is pretty edumacated, ain’t ya? Can you tell me just how much alcohol one should bring to a dopefest?
One should NOT bring alcohol to a dopefest.
(we buy it there)
Or if it’s at a bar, you convince single boys to buy it FOR you.
Convince the single boys to buy it for me? Damn, I gotta get to more dopefests with gobear, SqrlCub and matt_mcl.
ROFLMAO!
UB, that’s CHEATING! And here I thought you mods were supposed to be omnipotent.
<stamps foot and glares>
Hah! Gotcha, Nym.
You forgot the boilerplate.
Alcohol has no official connection with the Straight Dope message board, the Chicago Reader, or Cecil Adams. Dopefests have no official connection with the Straight Dope message board, the Chicago Reader, or Cecil Adams. All persons electing to participate in or with the consumption, ignition, defenestration, forced lactation, copulation or masturbation of or with alcohol do so at their own risk.
All persons attending, defending, estranging, deranging, or enraging of dopefests do so at their own risk.
The Reader assumes no liabilities, sensibilities, or hostilities toward these acts.
Nah, it’s just stress, and uh, a long day at work, and uh, it happens to all guys. Really.
Well, let’s see… if impotent means you can’t have sex, then omnipotent should mean that you can have sex with anything, anywhere. So UncleBeer’s statement above makes a lot of sense, actually.
Please ignore those other folk, just bring as much beer as you can possibly drink, multiplied by two so I can have some also. And bring the good stuff, whatever they grow locally.
I wouldn’t know. I’ve never brought alcohol to a Dopefest.
Depends where you go. For instance, in Columbus IIRC, we have one of the largest bottling facilities: a Budweiser plant, tucked just inside the bypass-belt along I-71N (or is that 23?) You could always incorporate a tour of that into your trip and stock up at the source.
Instance the second: the Makers Mark distillery is right down here in Kaintuck, same story as above except that noone with any sense would hold a DopeFest down here. Same for the Jim Beam/DyKuyper distillery in Cinci.
Short answer: bring what you would normally (heavily) drink x 1.5 or 2. If you drink spirits, bring a big bottle of your favorite…and a bottle of Stroh for yours truly.
Enough for you and enough for you to share.
For me, being a lightweight, that means 2 large bottles of beer. 
Oh, I forgot, I’ve got to bring enough to spill on ts too. Most of my beer seems to end up on the ground or on him for some reason.
:note to self - drink only water from now on at Dopefests:
Where ya goin’, UB?
I’ve never actually brought booze to a gathering - but I’ve been quite successful at finding it on location.
My rule of thumb: if it’s a Dope Fest I am driving to attend, I drink only within reason, and, if I’m not driving I drink without reason.
Works for me.
UncleBeer?
Inquiring about how much alcohol one should bring to a Dopefest?
:::insert head scratching smiley here:::
A better question would be, “How much alcohol turns UncleBeer into UnclePee?”
And Unk… you’d better be planning on getting your drunken ass out here for the Dopetoberfest when Coldy comes down. If you’re going to another 'Fest, I’ll feel very violated.
Sorry SPOOFE, but we’ve got dibs on him for OhDope.
HAAAAAHAHAHAHA!
Hey, if I can make both Dopefests, so can UncleBeer.
Oh wait–are they on different weekends?
Good Goddess there’s a lot of Festing going on in October! :eek:
COUGH
[sub]I have pictures to prove differently :p[/sub]
Bwahahaha. We only have that picture of you carrying that 12 pack in your hot pants and your shit-eating grin. I would know, I swiped one while you were driving.
