The Prodigals: Ball of Alcohol

[hkatz]

Assuming one shot is 1.5 ounces and a beer is 12 ounces:

100 shots of beer => 12.5 beers
60 shots of beer => 7.5 beers

That sure sounds like a lot to me....

A traditional shot is 1 oz. Of course in a bar they rarely pour it that way.

It's doable though. In college I did it and made it back to my dorm room where I missed the bed and slept it off on the floor. One of my partners in crime projectile vomited off of the roof after his ninety-second shot. He was known as "92-blew" thereafter.

I wouldn't recommend this for anybody over 30 or so, though. Even at 19 the hangover was brutal.

Now we're cooking...

[Rev. Jordan T. Maxwell]

also, anything by Journey.

[Ruby W.]

P.S. Andy - not so many people are going to be able to read their iPods after 60 shots of beer. Having more songs may not be important - unless you're setting up the playlist beforehand.

Good point! Power hour = absolutely wasted. Sooo to help poor drunkards manage the music, there are TONS of websites that have 1 minute music playlists all ready to go. Of course, if you're creating the PERFECT playlist, by all means...GO FOR IT!

[Rev. Jordan T. Maxwell]

and to indulge my Anglophilia

Sally Maclennane- The Pogues
Disorder- Joy Division
Love Vigilantes- New Order
What's the Story Morning Glory?- Oasis
I Can't Explain- The Who

[mpbrockman]

also, anything by Journey.

???

Except possibly "Separate Ways" (just for the Steve Smith fusion riffs at the end) or "Escape" (no, not the Rupert Holmes version).

How 'bout:

Sublime "40 Ounces to Freedom"
AC/DC "Have a Drink On Me"
Doors "Alabama Song (Whiskey Bar)"
Kiss "Cold Gin"
Pogues "Streams of Whiskey" and/or "Whiskey You're the Devil"

and my obscure song for the day

Old 97s "W-I-F-E"

[Matt]

There's a Tear in My Beer - Hank Williams

After that many shots, there's probably something else in there, too.

[mpbrockman]

OK, a few more:

George Thorogood "I Drink Alone"
Black Flag "Six-Pack"
Memphis Slim "Beer-Drinkin' Woman
Reel Big Fish "Beer"
Tragically Hip "Little Bones"
Doors (again) "Roadhouse Blues" well I woke up this morning...

and if you're feeling goofy

Weird Al "The Beer Song"

aw, what the hell...

Jimmy Buffett "Why Don't We Get Drunk & Screw"

[acrouch]

I was specifically hoping for songs meaningful in an improv context, especially Austin improv. : )

[Rev. Jordan T. Maxwell]

Except possibly "Separate Ways" (just for the Steve Smith fusion riffs at the end)

if you ignore the lyrics, there's some fist shaking power ballady goodness in the tune (such as it is).

and definitely for towards the end of the set...

Sunday Morning Coming Down- Johnny Cash.

[LisaJackson]

I was specifically hoping for songs meaningful in an improv context, especially Austin improv. : )

Hot for Teacher - Van Halen
Whatever that song is that plays over the Hideout intro video
Whatever that song is that plays over the ColdTowne intro video
Anything by Neil Diamond for Ratliff's Diamond Smugglers

Also, non-improv context...Eruption - Van Halen
Jump - Van Halen
oh, yeah anything by Van Halen
