I want to have a drinking contest with my girlfriend. An appropriate handicap would be introduced, of course. I've realized that it's prolly stupid to just drink until someone can't drink anymore....cuz that's too predictable of an outcome. I'll blackout relatively early on and Alea will throw up at some point. The determination of who 'won' would be a bitter memory for Alea and a non-existent one for me. It's also a tad dangerous.

So my new thought is a set limit on the number of drinks consumed, including the handicap. Now, I initially thought that a 1.5 to 1 drink ratio would be good, but then I had a better idea, at least to my liking. A 2 to 1 ratio, but the type of drink and even method of consumption changes every time. The handicap plays to Alea in terms of ratio, but to me in terms of stomach - Alea's limiting reagent being her stomach, mine being my susceptibility to blackout. So it would proceed something like....Alea 1 shot of tequila. John 2 shots of tequila. Alea bongs 1 beer. John bongs 2 beers. Alea drinks bottle of streetwine. John drinks 2 bottles of streetwine. I think this would be more fun.

With this handicap and a set limit on drinks consumed, or I guess rounds would be a more adequate term, throwing up could be grounds for winning for the non thrower upper, as well as blacking out for the non blacker outer, since a set amount of time would transpire between rounds. If neither of these two things occurred, which I predict is likely with a set number of rounds, then it is likely that it would be obvious who was the drunker, and the other is declared victor. If it is ambiguous, everybody wins, because that would necessitate another contest.

Why do this? you may ask.

The only question in life that is superior to the question "Why?" is "Why not?"
