Nah, shandy doesn't float my boat. Vodka is good for finishing the
night because its fairly cheap for the damage it does. You can get away
with buying the cheap and nasty stuff as well, because by that point,
you hardly taste it. That reminds me of a cunning stunt I played when
we were playing drinking games at a sailing event. We were mixing
things together and downing our concoctions to see who would down the
most disgusting thing we could think of. Then we had the manditory
glass of water after words to wash it down, well that was the theory
I decided to fill "a glass of water" full of vodka without anyone
noticing and placed it on the table. We all went to down our nasty
drinks and one poor girl then picked up the glass of vodka thinking it
was water and downed it to get rid of the taste, followed by her being
almost sick there and then and me and my crew rolling about laughing Guess who was in the good books the rest of the night

Was for us but in hindsight, I feel really bad for doing it because I
really got on well with the girl and the guilt startes sinking in with
the hangover and that being one of my clear memories of the night.
Saying that we were laughing about it on the Monday at work.

Another claim to fame was being joint first at a prestigious Scottish
Schools event (Mudhook), with me drunk the whole week, my helm
semi-drunk and hungover all week and a third crew member who hadn't
sailed properly before (just there to make up the numbers for the boat,
mind you he probably was the best saior out of the all of us throughout
the week).

I think that's what generally happened but I was that drunk, I didn't
really notice and was talking about sailing my boat which we'd snapped
most of the battens in, the next day in more than the 30 knot wind we'd
experienced that day.

Sandy was easily the best sailor at schools week that year!!!
He deserved a medal for be forced to sit in the dark, up the bow all week!
Best bit of that week was either the video footage of us winning the first race where the commentary was commenting on how good our concentration on the sails was. Didn't realise that we couldn't actually see anything else to due alcohol haze!
Fanta and buckfast on the way to the course makes you sail faster!

When I used to sail a Laser I would occasionally have a half of lager at lunch - with no ill effect. Now I sail a 4000 I have noticed a half of lager is really detrimental to performance.

guinness is what everyone should drink. It's good for you, well, that's what i've been told anyway. but it does make you wee all night.

One of my favourite tipples at the mo must be - 'A Rodney' its a blue
wkd in a pint glass topped up with carling! very nice and ever so
slightly brilliant for getting wrecked. Also the pubs by me do a
'purple nasty' which is absynth, blackurrant squash and fosters in a
pint glass, with an added touch of brandy for any one feeling brave or
stupid!!
We cud have a on the water stories section and a off the water stories section in the 'banter mag'
