Venus. Duh. And she won't think she's drunk, either.

I thought the same about Jane.

Mike McGavick. No contest.

A man vs two women in a drinking contest?

McIver in a walk-over. Or is it a drink-over? Either way, they'll certainly be hungover *RIMSHOT*

Gotta go with McIver. But if he loses, those two women are in for a hell of an asswhupping.

Jane by a mile. Busted up Pioneer Square bench-sitter face, lookin like Hedwig just came to in the alley. No competition.

I picked Jane Hague solely because of this sentence: "Would the stick up Jane’s butt keep her upright even when she blacks out?"

Gotta go with McIver - both Venus and Jane apparently see double after a couple glasses of wine, while McIver can at least get from bar to home without attracting the attention of the cops, and furthermore has the capacity to wait until he's off the street before going on a drunken rampage.

So, drink-for-drink I don't think there's any doubt he's going to hold up better than those two.

McIver.

He's male, he has a larger body mass than either Venus or Jane.

Elementary blood alcohol math.

Definitely not Venus. She's a rank amateur next to McIver and Hague. They were knockin' 'em back before she was born.

Venus no way. "Two drinks" and she's crossing the double-yellows? Total lightweight.

Hague also claimed two drinks (wine, even) when she was pulled over, but she had that belligerence about her. She had the attitude of someone who drove wasted all the time and was appalled that she got pulled over.

McIver seems like more of a pro, holding court at the Four Seas on a regular basis, making it home each time, and returning to City Hall bright eyed and bushy tailed by 8am the next day.

I think McIver and Hague would be pretty even in the contest. Hague's hangover would be much worse though.

#11, fully agree. Now, I know some women that are real pros, but even on a level playing field, men typically metabolize alcohol faster than women.

This sounds like the sort of question that rightfully ought to be settled at Drinking Liberally (but maybe after the election).

McGavick as guest referee?

Jane Godden could take any and all of 'em.

What about Jan Drago as the ref?

I'd say Venus is disqualified because she wept and apologized, a sure sign of a novice alcoholic. McIver and Hague, however are unrepentant drunks. Still, I've gotta go with McIver due to his long blemished record. Go Dick go!

Don't blame them for drinking and driving, it's not like they can hop an adequate mass transit system.

Oh please. Jan Drago would obliterate these lightweights. I've been out drinking with her a couple of times over the years and she would leave these candyasses with their sorry heads crashed on the bar in a pool of spilled scotch, beer nuts and lime rinds in their hair with a thin line of drool trickling from their numb lips.

She'd then slide off her bar stool, trudge out the door and pour herself into the backseat of her driver's car for the ride home. Jan may be a lush with a liver like a petrified dinosaur egg, but she does plan ahead for these things.

Jane and Richard. Let someone else play. Please, if you live in District 6, vote a write in of NONE. Then they can go off and cry in a bottle of merlot together. http://noneforsix.blogspot.com/ .
