I'll admit I don't think I've done either of these things this decade. Just curious as to what the gallery thinks. I have good "memories" of both. In college, a buddy and I each shotgunned a beer every 10 minutes until we'd finished a case between us while watching a Michigan game. And then we each did 4~5 more for good measure. Incidentally, this was the only time I've ever painted my face to watch a football game. On television. As for beer bongs; Ah, I remember my first bong. I went to South Padre for spring break. Michigan seemed to have spring break earlier than most schools. So Padre was kinda quiet; mostly U-M, Eastern Michigan people, and some Canadians who were real pricks about Canadian beer being better because of higher %ABV. (They were right, of course). Anywho, my buddy and I went to a hardware store, and I was trying to be all nonchalant: "Excuse me, sir. Where might I find funnels? And do you have any plastic tubing?" Dude was all like (in heavily accented English). "DUDE! You want to make a bong! You are first one this year!" He proceeded to give us valuable advice on proper funnel sizing and tube diameter as well as some excellent hints on the use of hose clamps and superglue to ensure a good seal. This bong became an artifact of almost religious significance; two years after I graduated, I came back to U-M for a game and partied with some of my younger friends. And my bong was still in use. You can imagine how band geeks might use a bong. TWEET-TWEET-THREE-FOUR-UP! DRINK! DRINK! DRINK! If I had to pick between the two, I'd say shotgunning for it's simplicity -- just a can of beer, car keys, and some courage.

I'll take bonging. Too much waste with shotgunning for my taste.

Never tried shotgunning, but I tried bonging once and decided it was too messy. I'm just not good at that. I'm a lightweight, anyhow, so I don't need fancy methods to get myself inebriated quickly.

Yeah, I'm a cheap date...I think that's what did first loved about me. I was drunk when we first met.

i was a shotgunning man, waaaaaaay back when.

Urp! That brings back some memories! For some odd reason, the bong went down EZ! But then I learned that shots of booze work even better. ..And then I learned about spending the night hugging the toilet... PWL - Wow, Andre the Giant! Good one for a drinkers forum: http://www.moderndrunkardmagazine.com/issues/10_06/10_06_andre_giant.html Cheers, Arla

Either/or. Giddy up. When? And, where?

I'll take the Bong please. But the best is the leisurely day boil while watching sporting events or playing xBox. day boil: the act of getting pissed up between sunrise and sunset, generally a day boil continues into the evening unless the dreaded mid-afternoon nap kills the momentum.

Breakfast drinking. Mmmm... Every other Sunday in college used to have the tradition of being "Kegs & Eggs". You'd roll out of bed, tap the keg, and sit down to breakfast. I'm feeling a bit nauseous now thinking about it.
