Slog - Comments on How Much is That Binge-Drinking-Game in the Window? http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/08/how_much_is_that_bingedrinkinggame_in_th Shot-glass checkers: Half the shot glasses are round, half are square, and the set comes with a checker board. According to the rules on the back of the box, you're supposed to fill the shot glasses with booze and when one of your glasses gets jumped, you have to do the shot. One game should put you under the table. Two should send you to the emergency room. The round and square glasses would seem to obviate the need for booze of two different colors—but, hey, if you like shots of Blue Curacao, go for it. All yours for $14.99...

Just like beer pong.

I do, however fill it with UV Vodka (grape and cherry) during parties and put it out for folks to drink.

What I am really concerned about is the orange mass of hair in front of the box. Can you tell me about that?

I played once. I was sick for a week. It stays in its box in the closet now.


Maybe I'll get it out one of these days...

Lessons learned: (1) Don't play with straight gin, (2) Don't play with someone twice your body size, (3) Don't eat 2 pot cookies after you've played 2 rounds.

I have never played it and gave it to a friend to sell at her garage sale. Why would anybody want to play this game? well... maybe if you have a cold and can't sleep - I suppose it would be a great way to fall asleep in about 20 minutes.... or die.

That's still six shots a game, but it's not as likely to kill you.

Because to my way of thinking about such things, it would make much more sense that you have to drink the contents of each piece you lose. Like, "Here. I captured two of your pieces in one move. Drink 'em down, you fucking loser."

Then the whole game would be the equivalent of 1-2 drinks instead of death overload.
