Global Case Race!!!

Post by pritam »

It's a short notice but anyone with a case of beer is free to participate in tonights case race!
The first to finish their case of beer wins the case race, sadly there are no prizes for this one but hey who knows, maybe in future races.

Due to differences between European countries and the US/Other non metric countries, anyone within a metric country will be needing a total of 26x33CL beers to even out the amount of beer to drink. That is of course if you're unable to aquire a case of beers of 12 US fluid ounces each (I think it was 12, whatever's close to that).

The race starts at 4 PM EDT (I think that's right) here's a clock http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=179, or in other words, it's an hour left until it starts.

Join in as a spectator at http://tinychat.com/caserace we'll be broadcasting with webcam and possible microphones too.

Ah, this should've been posted a week ago!

Edit: The race has been postponed an hour due to avansc lack of presence.

The winner has yet to be announced, at the moment it's a tie on 12 beers, avansc has to do 12 more and I have to do 14 more, we're starting it up asap, so stick around the tinychat room.

The first time I read this I thought you guys were nuts. I was thinking of it in terms of a 24-pack case though, which is apparently a Canadian thing :lol:

On another note, what's the alcohol content in the beer you guys drink? The stuff I usually have here is about 5.0%-5.2% alcohol content by volume.
