The Sports of Drinking
by Isaiah Cabanero
Round One…
You
will need a buddy. And that buddy must be a good one at that. Just as in a
table tennis game, you choose one who is as competitive as you are to play
with. No one wants to play with a loser at first service, right?
Then,
you will need the right equipment. If the sports of fencing requires you a
fencing suit and a smallsword at hand, a round of beer for you perhaps is as
needed. Or whatever your trip of drink is, for that matter.
Finally,
you will need a motivation to play. If for Muhammad Ali, his motivation is to
win at deforming his opponent’s face inside the ring, in the sports of
drinking, you will need the right motivation as well. May it be because you
just had lost a chance at scoring a “chick” at school after class, or you just
suck at being your best in front of the crowd today, one needs an ultimate
motivation to play the game.
