CSI Challenge Results

Yesterday, a challenge took place at BOX. The title of runner-up best drinker in the house was at stake as Brian, Brick and Peter competed in drinking ballyhoo and tomfoolery. It was determined that yours truly was the clear-cut best drinker in terms of quantity of alcohol consumed, but there was much argument as to who was next. I was deemed a fair and unbiased official and so I acted as the referee for the event.

Rules of CSI Challenge:

Each competitor must drink as many 40's of CSI as possible in a 6 hour time period. For those who do not know, 1 CSI > 8 Bud Light because CSI is a malt liquor and has 9% alcohol content.

If one vomits, he is automatically disqualified.

If one passes out, he is not disqualified, but he does run the risk of allowing other competitors to make up ground on him while he is incapacitated.

Minor penalties like knocking a bottle over or spilling were dealt with in accordance to severity and frequency with which they occurred.

Play by Play: Start Time 3:35pm EST

Brian: Brian, knowing he was perceived as an underdog, used an interesting strategy. He paced himself, but most importantly he ate only an hour before the competition started. While the competition was in full swing he ate bread and took drinks of water after every few swigs of CSI. He fought valiantly until about 7:15 when he crawled up the stairs in complete blackout and passed out onto his bed. He then rose again at 9:10 and finished what was left of the CSI that he had left behind.

Brick: As a decisive favorite for this competition, Brick's style of stamina drinking seemed to favor this sort of trial, but in the end Brick had a very disappointing day. He returned to the house at 2pm, hungover from the night before and vomited. On an empty stomach he started drinking at an unusually rapid pace and by 5:45 was passed out on the floor watching the Red Wings 1997 Stanley Cup Playoffs Highlights VHS. He was unable to continue and remained on the floor unconscious until almost 8 when he went up to his room and was not seen again.

Peter: Viewing Brick as his primary opponent, knowing that he was a better chugger than stamina drinker, Peter used a ingenious strategy. He employed an idea that if he could keep pace with Brick's stamina drinking, he could beat him in a chug race at the end. However, Brick became a non issue early in the day; this allowed Peter to surpass the passed out Brian who held the lead by the halfway point of the competition. He made a showing that stunned every competitor and witness.

Final Scores:

1st Place: Peter~3.75
2nd Place: Brian~3
3rd Place: Brick~2
