Drinking games and drinking challenges are like nuclear war. There are no winners. It’s only a question of how much you lose.
Sometime back two of my neighbors drank like college students on the 4th and they began firing bottle rockets back and forth at each others homes. Middle of the night I wake up and my house is full of smoke - because a bottle rocket landed inside this guy’s house smouldered in a couch and then his house lit up. I step outside and as the fire trucks arrive he’s standing in the street in the rain (it had begun to pour) in his pajamas holding the only thing he was able to save - his golf clubs. Later that morning the other neighbor involved was found beside his house dead from a broken neck - he’d gone to the edge of second floor balcony during his bottle rocket war and pitched over the rail. Everyone else attending were too drunk to miss him. These guys were old enough to know better. I avoid big drinking days like New Years Eve and The 4th because so many amateur drinkers get involved they ruin it. Everyone I’ve known drink themselves to death took decades - except one joker who passed out straddling a picket fence - he messed up his organs so badly that he was gone in about 7 months following.
