ahh the vikings. we owe them a lot

[T-Bag]

It's a good custom, it makes you want to stay for that extra pint that you're owed. Anything that extends drinking is a positive thing...right?

"The Scandinavians brought in the idea of drinking to oblivion. The Vikings seemed to spend their lives drinking or fighting... the idea of heroic drinking."

wouldn't ya know it:lmfao:

This kind of "tradition" just serves to alienate the non-drinkers amongst social circles and friends.

Well I say it serves them right! What are they doing in a pub making people feel uncormfortable anyway. It's because of people like them that soft drink are charged at such a high price and thats a good thing too.

heroic drinking

That has got to be a competition at the lan....

Who has not had the feeling that having bought a round for a group of five, you should really drink five pints to get your money's worth?

Only FIVE??  I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to buy a round of drinks for 45 of us though! :roflmao:

I'll be drunk WAY before I get my money's worth!
