I got a phone call at about 4pm Saturday, apparently my buddies decided it would be a good idea to start drinking early.
Got to the bar, walked up to the table, and my friend says "you're behind".
Always dangerous, so I ask "how far?"
"6 beers" is the reply.
Walk up to the bar and order 2 vodka tonics, find out that all drinks in this particular bar are "buy one get one free" so I come back to the table with my two drinks and two tokens for two more.
Slam the first two in short order, leave the tokens behind and buy two more with cash. Two more drinks, two more tokens. I have now had 4 drinks in about 20 minutes, starting to feel a little giddy. Decide to buy my next two with tokens, slam them both (6 drinks now in less than an hour). I am now only two drinks behind my friends, and I catch up on the next round. 8 drinks in about an hour and a half, then I match them beer for beer for the next three hours (something on the order of 12 vodka tonics over the course of 5 hours). I don't really remember the walk back to the cars, so it's probably best that I didn't drive

After that, we went back to my place to play some poker. The first level was just a total all-in fest, I doubled up on the 3rd hand, then donked it all off by the end of the 2nd level. Rebought, and donked those off as well. Rebought again, got all-in with pocket 8's against K-10, she turned a 10 and I went to bed.
The good news that I *do* remember is that I'm getting my table this weekend. My friend wanted to confirm the details this weekend, and his co-worker will be doing the build this week. Even better news is that 3 of my friends are kicking in on the table, so I only have to pay $100.
