How to Drink a Beer, or a few, FUNLY

Power Hour, It is a good way to drink a lot of beer, and a fun game to do with a group of friends on a night with not much going on except a lot of beer in the fridge. This is a common college drinking game that is fun if done right but can be dangerous, but I still suggest that if you want to then try it.

The game itself is quite simple. For an hour (or some play 100 minutes) you take a shot of beer every minute on the minute. This seems easy at first but once you get to the end you see how hard it really is. The people that win are those that take all of their drinks by the end of the our. It turns out to be between 7 and 8 beers, depending on if you completely fill your shot glass every time (sometimes you just accidentally leave a little head space which adds up after you leave 60 little head spaces) For this I would suggest having a non-player there to help be a time keeper, because it can be pretty easy after 40 minutes or so to forget or just miss the time.

My only tip for this game if you want to win is to eat a little carbs before you start, and don't drink before you start. The most important part really is just being able to put back the beer but that is more an earned ability and not something I can tell you how to do in a short tip. Having starch in you though will help absorb the alcohol so it doesn't hit you as fast or as hard, which will help you near the end of the game when you are close but still thinking about dropping out. This is especially important for playing the game with 100 minutes because it then is not even twice as long but the beer hits you three times as hard.

As always play this game with friends and play responsibly, there is no shame in dropping out if you have to, being too sick or worse will definitely ruin your night more than a few friends rippin' on you for not being able to drink as much. Have fun.
