Drinking Milestones

I thought the list posted on Modern Drunkard was good, but a little too romantic/Hemingway-esque for real people. Make your best friend the perfect martini? When my best friend from high school is in town, I make sure to have a couple of sixers on ice when he get's here. That's it.


Top Twenty Drinking Milestones

1. Drink from a visible alcoholic beverage on the street
(in a city where it's illegal, of course)
2. Receive more than three bottles of booze for your birthday
(six packs of beer count as 1 bottle)
3. Own a flask and use it.
4. Sneak liquor into an event in something OTHER than a flask
(your tummy does not count)
5. Knowingly bought drinks for a minor.
6. Get a drink thrown in your face.
7. Have the bartender pour liquor from the bottle directly into your mouth
8. Gone out of your way to go to a bar because a bartender you know works there now. (Give yourself 1 extra point for every river you crossed to get there)
9. Have a bartender’s email address/home phone number.
(Folks who became bartenders after you were already friends with them
don’t count)
