My roommate “made” me and some of our friends do a “power hour.” This is when you drink one shot of beer every minute for one hour.
Doesn’t sound that bad at first. A shot isn’t that much beer. But think about doing 60 of them in an hour. It worked out to about seven beers. In one hour. We were watching Tommy Boy and it was never funnier!
That’s about as pointless as I can be. Anyone else ever tried this?
I saw Adam & Jimmy and Super Dave do 100 shots in 100 minutes on The Man Show. I haven’t tried it but apparently it’s harder than it sounds.
Do you feel “water-logged”?
Dangerous and stupid but mindless and pointless too, I guess.

Well, it works out to about 5 beers in an hour (not 7 like mentioned in the OP), or about a beer every 12 minutes.
Mindless and pointless? Maybe. Dangerous? I would suspect not unless you weighed in the neighborhood of 30 or 40 pounds.
We’re talking about a drink with 3-6% alcohol here, not Everclear.
Will you at least concede stupid?

I read the subject line and thought this was about working out at the gym. Heh.
I will concede stupid. I thought it was stupid when my roommate first proposed it. It’s been a long time since I’ve even been drunk, but I don’t feel too awful today. I fell asleep shortly after posting. And maybe we were using large shot glasses, because our power hour used up 7 beers apiece. And I am not a small guy, so I wasn’t worried about it being dangerous.
But, hey! I was under peer pressure!
Well, here in Denmark, the health authorities do an annual campaign to have people consider limiting their drinking. The recommended limit for men is 21 beers (33cl) or 21 glasses of wine a week - for women it’s 14.
Then one year during this campaign some friends of mine decided to protest to that limit. By drinking 21 beers - a day. They even made it through.
Me too.
How the hell they made it through the morning with only 21 blows my mind.
Yup, done this before. It’s just like the OP says, a helluva lot harder then it sounds. 7 or so beers does sound about right. Factor in running to the restroom to break the seal, and when you get back you’ve got a shot or two waiting for you…
Wonderful game…
Mmmmmmmm…beer…
Reminds me of a trick we used to do called “Shotgunning.” Similar to funneling I guess. You punch a hole in the bottom side of a can of beer with an old fashioned can opener, put hole to mouth with can upright, and POP IT! 12 oz. down the drain fore you know it!
Bring tears to my eyes just thinking about it.
Mazel tov!
Yeah, I’ve done the “power hour” before. Where in Texas are you at, out of curiousity? I’m in Austin.
