Re: Evaluate this drinking prop bet
[ QUOTE ]
i'm not saying everyone can do this challenge, or that it's even worth 4 days of your life for that amount of money, but i do think there are a good amount of people (above 10% maybe) of men 20-25 who could do this if planned out right [/ QUOTE ] But that's how the other side makes their money, right? It seems like it'd be eay to those who'd even contemplate doing it? Aside from having been on one side or the other of the gallon milk and the 100 beer, I don't have any experience, really, so I'm no expert. I've never seen or tried or heard of the exact prop OP has got going. I do know that similar challenges rarely succeed. On top of that, I know that if there's not a video or a blog post or something on the internet of it having been done, there's a good chance that the reason is it hasn't been done. It took me maybe half an hour sitting at work to find one - just one, that's all I could come up with - post plus video of the milk challenge being completed. The search in addition to the results gave me a better idea of whether it could be completed and what the odds were. If you're some college kid and don't take some time to do basic research on whether its been done, what your likely BAC would be, the physiological consequences of that BAC, etc, then you probably deserve to lose your money. So I've never tried this particular feat, I don't know anyone who has, but if someone charges in, blithely asserting that they've "Had 10 beers a night for my freshman and sophomore years!" well, that's probably burning money.

Re: Evaluate this drinking prop bet
Seriously, already lots of posts of, "This sounds easy, if..." PM Nick Rainey and ask him how much he's made on offering bets to people who responded, "That sounds easy."
The reason it sounds easy is that you're a sucker. There's no sweeter music to a bookey outside of, "That bet's a lock!"

Re: Evaluate this drinking prop bet
I could easily make this as I already do this 2 days a week (and I drink more than 20 shots). Your friend, on the other hand, will probably not make it. Those odds are probably a bit in your favor if he's a newbie.
Edit: I wouldn't take this bet as the hangover of a week doesn't sound good to me.. (with these stakes) As for my strategy, I would first eat something greasy and yummy then proceed to take atleast 4 shots. (vodka prefered) Then just shoot em till I hit 20 watching movies and listening to music. Taking enough shots when you start is the key ingredient. Once you pop you can't stop amrite.

[/ QUOTE ] Tons of college students (myself included) have witnessed someone do 20+ drinks 4 days in a row. Seriously, this is not very difficult for people with above average tolerance.

Run, The only problem I can think of is that you'd get dehydrated. That doesn't sound like a huge deal, but maybe it would suck a lot. [/ QUOTE ] Chase every shot of vodka with a shot of pedialyte.

Re: Evaluate this drinking prop bet
Can your buddy drink or eat anything he wants during this bet? If so, I think OP is a dog here. Salvia miltiorrhiza is a chinese herbal supplement that has been shown to decrease alcohol absorption, decreasing the resulting BAL by up to 60%. Taking this would essentially reduce the amount he feels to 8-10 shots/day. I'm sure most here would agree that's possible. As long as he loads up on water and eats regularly, I don't see why this will be hard.

Re: Evaluate this drinking prop bet
25 shots = a fifth
