A cube? I have never heard that term before! I am assuming it's a 'six pack' or a 'rack' and not a 'case' of 24 cans or bottles.


A cube is a 30 pack. Usually only available in cheap beers like High Life, Pabst, Old Milwaukee, and Natty Ice. It used to be a cube of Red Dog was $11.99 but in the last 3 years it went up to $17.99

Come on, we all know why it's masculine to be able to hold your drink. It's because it's manly to be unstoppable, indefatigable, and unshakable in all circumstances; ready for action no matter what.

You're supposed to be ready to climb a cliff, rescue a small child, drive it to hospital 50 miles through untarmacked mountain roads in blinding rain, fix the car singlehanded when it breaks down on the way, *and* make it to work the next day as if nothing had happened *even if* you've been drinking double vodkas for 4 hours non-stop. Likewise you're supposed to be able to do all that if you're heavily fatigued, sick, or been in a fight.

Just like King Harold's Saxons: they marched north to beat Tostig and the Norwegians, fought a hard battle, then made a rapid forced march to Hastings to fight all over again. They lost but they had the right spirit. And they were probably very very drunk too.

It makes absolute sense, booze money funds the fake LV bag, we need y'all as much as y'all need us.

Nothing is wrong with a little competition. Typically for non atheletes, drinking may be the only thing they are good at (which is considered macho) other than picking up women. I'd rather watch a man do a keg stand than a 100m race, the outcome is always more entertaining. Brag on and keep dancing rummies.
Why trash quality entertainment. This country would be really boring without excessive drinking. It would just be work, work, work and the odd hill to climb.

Hedonism. That's why. We all want to be the best hedonist.

My name does represent me, but I am not really proud of how much I drink.

Truth is I frequently feel ashamed by how much I drink. Seriously. I'm just bored and lonesome where I am now.

Yet, any of you fools wanna try? Bring it on!

Very Happy
