It's just the culmination of SMF's search function's slow descent into the depths of the abyss. It's been halfway broken for ages anyway.

Damn, I should have seen this coming. First it was cutting off after 5 pages, then 4, then 3.

So apparently I made some waves in a party on the weekend. The rumour is that I drank everyone under the table and that I later had to be carried out of the venue due to that feat.

I'm actually a very moderate drinker and even cheated (using non-alcoholic beverages) in the drinking competition (and didn't actually win), and was carried out because of a leg injury rather than drunkness.

I'm not entirely sure if I should set things straight or just let the rumour spread. Do I want this kind of infamy?

[Arx]

In my experience, whatever you do the rumour will continue to spread. May as well explain it to people that bring it up and ignore it otherwise.

[Tack]

I mean the longer the myth is perpetuated, the more annoyed the actual winner will get.

I too cheated in this fashion. I'm essentially tee-total for most of my life, but at a larp thingy this weekend, I had the opportunity to drink.  I spiked my spiced rum/kopparberg/weird sweet slightly sharp thingy with lucozade, and I was winning the drinking game so hard that I was drinking it when I won just to keep my mouth moist.

But what if two people cheat in the same competition? Then it just becomes an Epic-See-Who-Can-Resist-the-Loo-the-Longest Competition instead.

I looked up lucozade, and it's just a sugary sports drink? I'm not sure how that would help, but then again I'm a teetotaler as well, so I don't know anything about drunkenness.

It's a glucose-imbued fizz fest to which I have formed a mild addiction. Essentially an energy drink.

Drink of choice for larpers down here.

[JoshuaFH]

I'm sure I'm asking the dumbest question: are energy drinks the cure to drunkenness?

[NJW2000]

Cure in that they reverse some of the side effects.

Not the cure in that they make you more likely to die if you take them while drunk.

Or do you mean as an alternate drug?

[Rowanas]

I'm sure I'm asking the dumbest question: are energy drinks the cure to drunkenness?

No, but they water alcohol down and replace lost sugars and whatnot after exercising, so you're not pouring alcohol onto a bed of exhaustion.

I don't know myself, having never been drunk, but apparently the split down here is pretty 50/50 on whether tea or energy drinks are best accompaniment to a greasy english breakfast for hangover cure.

[NJW2000]

Oh, sure, maybe for hangovers. Depends on preference.

Please don't mix energy drinks and spirits though. It'll increase your tolerance except in all the ways that will help you stay alive.
