In Hong Kong, us young Marines NEVER sat down with Royal Marines in the China Fleet Club. That was drink until the last man is standing.
I saw the beginning (1000) and the end (2200). Not a pretty sight, nor one for the faint of heart.
I’ll bet not for the faint of heart!
Plus when you get outside your “comfort zone” of things to drink, because people from some other country are shoving them at you...it can go south in epic ways.
I remember guys drinking Ouzo one time, which left a singularly wonderful and disgustingly sweet aftertaste in your mouth, we just didn’t think you could get hammered drinking it.
You sure can.
I saw more guys drunk into insensibility at the same time that night than any other...
