The 12 Pubs of Christmas (Part 2)

​We are running it back on the great Irish tradition of the 12 Pubs of Christmas (starting slightly after Christmas). Learning from our mistakes and mild alcohol poisoning last year we will be starting at 3:00 PM instead of at 7:00. This should give us plenty of time.

​Please suggest pub challenges if you are so keen. As is tradition failure to comply with any rule results in you having to chug your drink. Unless there are suggestions the plan will be:

• ​Left-Handed Pub — you must drink with your non-dominant hand the whole time you’re in that pub.

• ​Tiny Arms Pub — You must keep your elbows glued to your sides. All drinking, gesturing, and ordering must be done with “tiny T-Rex arms.”

• ​Accent Pub — everyone must speak in a foreign (or different) accent while in the pub.

• ​No-Names Pub — you can’t call anyone by their real name or nickname in that pub.

• ​Silent Pub — no talking for the duration of the stop.

• ​No Phones Pub — no phones allowed for the duration of that stop.

• ​No Surfaces Pub — you cannot put your drink down on any surface until you finish it.

• ​Feed-Me Pub — you are not allowed to touch your own drink — someone else must feed you the drink.

• ​Rhyming Pub — If you speak, you must end your sentence with a rhyme.

• ​“Call the Barman ‘Guinness’” Pub — you have to address the bartender as “Guinness,” e.g. “Can I get a pint of Heineken please, Guinness?” If he gives you an actual Guinness, you have to drink it in addition to your other drink.

• ​Christmas Song / Sing-Along Pub — someone (maybe the last to arrive) has to sing a Christmas song for the group.

• ​Hug a Stranger / Compliment Stranger Pub — before leaving the pub you have to either hug or give a compliment to a stranger.
