drinking lots of beer at once

all of this depends on what your goals are, whether to get hammered, or stay coherent, or to have a good time.

This is so refreshing! I was getting bored by all of the "How do I train for a sub four mile?" and "Pacing for a marathon" crap that's always on this site.

It's good to see dedicated competitors.

Its to see who can drink the most before they pass out.

I'd eat a lot of "hangover food"...cereal, chips, and the like beforehand...maybe a little bit of pizza...drink water too, but not too much to fill yourself up. i'd go easy at the beginning, but after you're drunk you'll be easy to down them quickly.

From personal experiences (not many, but I'll throw my two cents in anyways), I always like to treat it as an over-distance race - start off slow in the beginning and gradually pick up the intensity. I'd think you'd want to go a bit harder at the beginning just because you'll be thirsty (on that note, eat lots of salt and vinegar chips, makes you really thirsty and the chips will soak up the alcohol like a spunge) and won't feel the effects until much later. However, like racing, it's a fine line - go too hard in the beginning and you'll be barfing early. After a few beers, they'll go down like water and you can really get in the groove.

Don't drink water while drinking it is a waste stomach space. On a few occasions me and my buddies have gotten together to do case day. On case day each one of us buys a 24 pack and drinks one beer every 30 minutes. It sounds easy at first, but after about 16-18 beers you are totally wrecked and will have trouble remembering if you finished all 24. You definately need to eat on case day to have a decent shot. Stuff like steak and bread helps. The most beer I have ever had to drink in one day is 27 over the 12 hour period. Shit was pretty funny the night ended when my buddy, who was also doing case day, and I got into a huge wrestling match. We wrecked my apartment, spilled laundry detergent all over the place and my friends tooth got chipped. I would reccomend you try case day this weekend it is a lot of fun.

First off, don't do it. But since you're young and idiotic, you'll ignore this advice.

Second, we (myself and other young fraternity idiots) used to have a competition called 200 club where one would drink a shot of beer a minute, attempting to reach 200. If you do the math, that's 16 2/3 beers in 3:20--a marathon of sorts. Bathroom breaks were allowed, but monitored for purging. Once you puke, you're out.

The first to go were the ones who loaded up on bread, thinking it would "soak up the beer." Next were the ones who ate too many lil' smokies at dinner. I ate light and just focused on the task at hand. Don't remember much past 120 or so, but was told I accomplished the task, resembling a lobotomized man drooling, unable to speak, and needing help to drink the last ones. To celebrate my "victory," I vomited for a day. Fun times.

Oh, and don't attempt unless you are at least 1/4 Irish.

Me and the boys used to do a variation of this where we would watch a televised boxing match and drink one can of beer per round (3 minutes). During the one minute break between rounds, you could piss, throw water on your face, etc. After about the sixth round (a six pack in 24 minutes) you'd be hoping for the knock-out to stop it. A couple of times we made it through a full 12 rounder (12 pack in 48 minutes). This is a perfect way to get that pre-bar buzz going. Oh, and for the record...in no way do I support that anybody try to partake in this activity. COLLEGE IS THE BEST!

37 Club Violation!!!

Cheese and greasy foods are supposed to help out. I hear eating a banana and having a huge glass of water before bed is the ultimate anti-hangover machine. My favorite way to go about drinking is to evenly pace myself starting at about 10:30am. This gives me plenty of time to get a run in in the morning and I am usually passed out early enough that night to get enough sleep for a long run the next day.

eat a shit load a couple of days leading up to the event even a large lunch and a lite dinner. Your stomach will be expanded to handle mass amounts of beer.

We are supposed to be impressed with a six pack in 24 minutes? Where are my fellow beer-mile enthusiasts to ridicule these people? 4 beers (never light beer either) in 6-7 minutes WITH a mile of running; that my friend is a sport, especially when naked in the snow.

don't be afraid to boot

Re-read the sentence that says it is the perfect way to get a pre-bar buzz. The beer mile is a perfect way to puke all over yourself. Six beers in 24 minutes while still being composed enough to go to a bar, continue drinking and score a one night stand- that, my friend, is a great sport.

Food of choice has to be pretzels, and make sure to practice on the beer of choice, because slugging 40's of Old English Ice ain't the same as sipping Natty light from a keg. Personally I perfer Corona if I'm going to have a few, b/c it is the self-regulating beer. The first one goes down like water, and the rest taste worse as you go. For the opposite effect, Busch light no doubt.

You say you allegedly do this to get a pre-bar buzz, but then answer me this: why would you be hoping for a knockout after 6? Why would you be splashing water on your face? Why would you only make it through 12 rounds a couple of times? I have never puked in a beer mile (some might contend this is not necessarily a sign of strength), and once I recover for a short time, I am prepared to hit the bar scene and pick up girls (usually fat ones because I have no game, and most hot girls do not like skinny emaciated punk like me who run; damn jersey chasers).

Drinking while watching boxing is a fine idea; just don't pass it off as some super-manly-drinking endeavor.

Who drinks more beer, Ritz or Webb?

yeah- FUCK THE JERSEY CHASERS....i prefer to stat y shot gunning a few beers....like 3-4 in a couple minutes..gets you going good...byt the time i am through 12-14 beers, i usually grab a liquor bottle (five oclock, or smirnoof vanilla twist) but always forget the chaser....the night gets intersting in a hrry then...

Ritz drinks more with his crackers

The whole beer obsession with young people is truly amazing to me, and by truly amazing I mean absolute idiotic. So many people here talking about how much they want to be successful with running and how dedicated there are. What place does getting hammered have in this equation? I am so sick of the people that need a "release" or had a long week or whatever so they need to go get hammered on the weekend. That is a joke to me. I wonder if we will ever get to the point in this world where a gathering of young people doesn't have to be centered around alcohol.
