I have never been a fan of drinking games, partly because I don’t like alcohol in drinks or otherwise which may be due to the fact that I am allergic to sulfur- when the items used to make alcohol ferments, it makes sulfur (not to mention that sulfur is added as a preservative in most wines and liquors). But when Burr suggested having a non-alcoholic Star Wars drinking party, I thought why not. In undergrad I had heard about drinking parties, but had never been to one. The obvious purpose is to get the watchers as drunk as possible- our in our case hold in the pain of needing to go until you just can’t. For all who know me, I don’t drink much- I don’t think I have ever followed that rule about eight eight-ounce glasses of water a day- I am lucky to get in two glasses a day. Needless to say I went to the restroom first. But the nice part about going to the restroom- and losing the game is that you don’t have to drink anymore :) Mark on the other hand loves to drink water and did a wonderful job of lasting through a tape and a half, up to when they are visiting Lando. Everyone lost to one college student who said his bladder capacity had been extended with training in high school- apparently he went to a high school where boys were beat up in the bathroom, so he learned to hold it all day. There may have been fights and stabbings in my high school, but there was no fear of going to the bathroom with teachers as monitors. Overall a fun experience, but one I don’t think I want to repeat.
