It was our anaual summer bike pub crawl
You have to drink at every pub, no soft drinks are allowed and the only time you can eat is at the final pub before turning around and coming back again.

As I feel really sick if I drink more than 4 pints in one go I decided to drink shots instead and as 2 shots is roughly equivalent to 1 pint I intended to drink 2 in each pub (hence 26 shots). Unfortunately as the day went on people were drinking slower and slower so I started to get bored in the pubs. At one point I wondered off for some cash, into a pub opposite an ex's house and had a double scotch in there, went back to everybody else then folded up a garden chair, put it through the straps of my rucksack and took it with me. This kind of extra drinking went on in most of the last few pubs.

I didn't fall off my bike until we were about 5 mins from our local which I'm amazed about considering I could barely walk!

It's been decided that somebody has to take up the "[Captain V] challenge" if we do it again this year. I might try it again myself if I can work out how to avoid drinking more than 2 shots per pub.
