5.) 15th and Manhattan Ave. (KK's + DS's Apt.)
Type of Beer: Bud Light
How Consumed: Shotgun
Like a precision machine, KK can make a beer "shotgunnable" faster and more accurately, with little to no overflow, better than anyone in the business. Like a true friend, she never shys away from this gift and insists on sharing it with everyone within eye and earshot. One of my favorite memories of the summer was the simple joy that accompanies 20 or so bros and babes simultaniously shotgunning beers while awkwardly grinding to T-Pain's solo in "I'm on a boat."
4.) House of Lords/Sun & Moon
Type of Beer: C- or Asahi
How Consumed: Beerbong
Whenever you wanted to make sure you didn't remember the night, all you had to do was drop by the House of Lords, or Sun & Moon... hit the respective beer bongs, then resign yourself to puking under a table at Shells. The beerbong makes dreams come true, and just as the Japanese had a stiff no-foreigner policy up through the 19th century, Hiro had strictly enforced his "no foreign beerbongs" policy. However, since there are no rules on Six-Man weekend, we were able to bring the WFTW Beerbong from the HOL to Sun & Moon and rejoyce in binge drinking in a public forum.
3.) Shellbacks
Type of Beer: Bud Light/Shellbacks Lager
How Consumed: Survivor Flip Cup
Self-Explanitory.
2.) The Poopdeck
Type of Beer: Budweiser (the only beer they serve)
How Consumed: Flip Cup/6 ounce glasses
This place just has too many stories. Every time we go can be considered the "sweetest poop deck experience." From the stray dogs and the pigeons living in the pool table - to the ex-cons and leathery babeage of the late 70s... this place is pretty special. The one thing I want to do here is play Thumper (for those new to the blog - this is the only drinking game that the Pool Deck allows to be played inside). Bring: American dollars (bar is cash only), your own red cups, and 30 of your closest friends - all in some themed costume.
1.) On the Beach
Type of Beer: Whatever is in the cooler
How Consumed: Shared consumption with the team after losing a hard-fought ACE point
The strictly enforced "high-tolerance" booze ban on the beach has been one of the most successful public policy decisions since the New Deal. One secondary effect has been a surge in ACE proficiency across the beach. Honestly, nothing got me more fired up for a weekend than getting that email, sometimes as early as 9 am on a friday with the simple yet effective title: "ACE?" Even though I was expecting it, once I actually got the email, it was impossible to stay on task for the rest of the day... might as well check out for the afternoon and find new routes to leave the office/school early.
While Friday ACE in the SB may be in hibernation for a few weeks, if we've learned anything - its that this will fly by and before we know it we'll be sitting at our desks on a Friday when that glorious invitation will appear again just as suddenly as when it departed.
