Drinking Around the World

[Amy]

This topic is actually something my brother and I were talking about. If things work out then I would be going to Disney just after my 21st birthday. From what I've heard it is just very costly to drink around the world and could be dangerous if done without consuming food or water during the summer afternoons.

...and a "designated driver" who will make sure that even when you get drunk you will get back to your hotel room instead of ending up passed out in a car trunk somewhere...(or, just ending up in a car trunk again)...

Nice!!
Since you will have just turned 21 Len, and therefore are completely unfamiliar with drinking any sort of alcoholic beverages You might want to pace yourself. You could drink around the world over the whole trip maybe...Or at least start at 11 in the morning when the World Showcase opens, and have a snack or meal in each country along with your beverage of choice. You should be safe(r) doing that...And big brother Mark should treat, since it is your birthday and all

Mmmmmmm, Mark86 has a bit twisted humor (which is why he would fit perfectly in well with the Mayhem Marauders) - how do we he wouldn't get Len90 drunk and draw all over his face for laugh? (Although, it would make for an interesting facebook entry...)

Mark86 may be the protective big brother, but it doesn't mean he might not partake of some laughs at the expense of his sibling...it's a big brother thing...

Shhhhhhh! We don't want Len to figure this out ahead of time

LOL! Len90 has lived with Mark86 since 1990! By now, he knows what a big brother can be like!

My friend and I had discussed doing this the last time we were there. His wife was running the Goofy Challenge so we were going to do our own "marathon". We figured the 11 countries would take us about 5 hours. That way we could do it on a pace that might allow us not to get fall down drunk. We scratched it because we didn't want to blow a day drinking. And likely the next day b/c we would feel like a bag of smashed a-holes. We don't recover like we did in college.

After we decided not to waste a day (or two) getting wasted I said to my friend "whatever happened to the philosophical poster you had in college that said 'a day not wasted is a day that is wasted'?"

Hmmmmmm, but how far are we from being wrong?

Can't argue with a great beer from Germany! Or the UK, or anywhere at WDW for that matter

Same here ... I've had a few too many at EPCOT before and then felt like a tool later for not being able to enjoy the attractions and such.

The great advantage to listening to Subsonic between trips is that you get to remember trips past while contemplating trips future.

SAME HERE! It gets me through the in between times and the work days!

I've done liquors are the lake several times. The real danger is to your wallet. If you do try, give yourself about 8 or 9 hours or more. You can keep a decent buzz without getting out of control.

I swear epcot mormon pours, so it takes more to get plastered there.

A bit stingey, are they?

Well, the drinks are so reasonably priced, they have to be able to make a profit somehow
I almost couldn't type that with a straight face
