Tomorrow is my 21st birthday. Any advice, drinking procedures, vomiting tips, ways to scam free drinks? ...and so I put a cap on a career of illicit drunkeness.Kevin Jones offered this advice:
Try showing your ID to any bartenders you might encounter. They may give you a free one or two (worked on my 21st). As for drinking procedures, just stay away from Southern Comfort. And when it comes to vomiting, just make sure you do it in the vicinity of a toilet or a well-lined wastebasket, and make sure no women you're trying to impress (or get lucky with) are around!Kevin, got to disagree with you on this one here. Trying to act gentlemanly to impress a woman has some major drawback. Sure she think 'What a cool guy' and maybe goes out a few time and spends tons of YOUR money and you think 'This is cool' I can do the non-bastard thing' But then a few months/hundred bucks down the line that primal DB urge grabs hold and you show her a glimpse of the true you and she's out the door faster than Oso's 5-wood through a huffers forehead.
My advice here is simple: Be yourself, especially if its your 21st. That's lie a license to do ANYTHING. Public displays of projectile vomiting followed by a friend saying 'Its his 21st!' will get far more drinks than any amount of scamming. And there is no restriction on the place to vomit. What were 15th story windows made for anyway? Just a word of advice: If the car in which you are traveling belongs to someone bigger than you, be sure to open the window prior to act!! GT stripes on the outside look cool and wash off easily, puke drenched cloth seats NEVER get clean.
As for the wimmin: In the midst of your evening,
if you see someone you like, let them know you are interested by something like giving
her your phone number, writing her name in urine across the bar floor or a simple
gift like the passenger door off a 747 with her initials carved on it. Then simply
return to your drinking and if she's the one for you, she will join in the revelry
and try to outdo your antics. This may not work every time (in fact 1 in 250 are
good stats) but at least this way you are only ever surrounded by true friends, the
kind who don't mind giving you their last beer if it means you'll stop trying to
fit the neighbour's dog into the microwave.
