Just got back from a weekend down in Minneapolis-St Paul to see the Twins (lost) and Vikings (also lost) games and do a bit of shopping with some friends. And I must say America is the natural homeland for alcoholics and frat boys alike.
Anyways, our first night out we found a bar that was selling $1 jagerbomb (Jagermeister + Red Bull, if you don't know) shots. After ordering a couple rounds for our group of nine, we decide to get serious and we bought a cart of 50 shots. I expected this to last the rest of the night while we sipped at other drinks, since no one seemed like they were in a rowdy mood yet.... but the 50 shots were gone inside five minutes and it was soon time to order another EIGHTY-ONE shots. And then a few more friends showed up and since we seemed to be becoming something of a popular spectacle at the bar, we decided to go trip digit and get 100 shots, which was followed by a final 50. The final tally was 316 shots for a mere $316 (+ tips, of course). I've seen larger bar bills but never have I seen so many shots. Amazing. (And we ran into a bachelorette party + I met the hot granddaughter of legendary Vikings coach Bud Grant who was, unfortunately, married and pretty much a ridiculous bar night.
The following night we ended up at a tequila bar where I ended up getting Mexican luchador masks for having ordered some high priced shots. $95 for one shot of tequila would rank up near my stupidest purchases ever if I hadn't gotten a luchador mask.
No real point to this story other than: America, fuck yeah!
Edit: Oh yeah, feel free to add in your own such stories. Otherwise this thread will have a predictably short shelf-life.
