Funny Drinking Stories

Funny drinking and fencing stories?

Two words for you: NYU Fencing.

All of you who want to find out, come to NYU, join the team. You'll see plenty, believe me. I still can't believe what goes on here.

The very first Thursday practice my freshman year fell on my birthday, and Thursdays are when the team goes out. I hadn't told anyone that it was my birthday, but one of my friends yelled, "HEY!! It's her birthday!!" So after... gosh, I can't even remember... multiple rounds of tequila shots and various chasers, I was still able to stand up and function. I resisted everyone's attempts to get me totally plastered b/c I had class the next day. But man oh man.... Yeah, that was my first experience with inebriation due to being a part of the fencing squad here...

Oh yeah, also my epee coach (here at NYU) here was telling us about how in Hungary he and his buddies would have macho drinking contests where they mixed beer and vodka together. He said that Americans were pussies when it comes to the drink.

Hope that kind of amused everyone, at least a little bit.

I really don't want to write this physics lab. Think I'll read some more posts here instead...

yeah the brown fencing team doesn't drink nearly enough. any suggestions on fencing/drinking games? ya know, you get hit on the toe, thats three shots later that night, something like that

I think it would work better if you took 3 shots immediatly. Last man standing wins the bout.

Wow...

The most amazing drinking experience I ever saw was with my chess club at UT-Dallas. We had a fellow with a Grand Master rating (UTD gave out chess and College Bowl scholarships: there's a university with the right idea!)

We go to a bar to celebrate a birthday in the club. We proceed to get fairly dazed on pitchers of Killian's Red and various schnapps... Being the chess freaks we were, we had brought a fair number of sets with us. We challenge our grand master to games for shots. (loser buys the round) In order to give us a chance, he played five games, simultaneous, blind-folded!

1/2 hour later, he has won 4 of the 5 games, and got stale-mated in the fifth. We decided that in the case of the stalemate, both players bought a round...

It was a virtuoso performance.

ive noticed that even when i'm completely not sober at all, i can still fence. i can still go engarde, do actions, etc. my decision making is a little off, but my reactions aren't THAT stupid, and they aren't that much slower than usual either. i think i would probably win most drunken bouts. any challengers?

I'll step up to the plate!

Us northern boys can stomach a few, and take a few hits!

Name your bar and piste!
