PowerHour

[Deeko]

Is there a greater event in all of drinking?

No way, especially when all well drinks are $1.

Had a bar like that back in college. We'd walk there, get smashed every thursday night during the summer semester and walk home. Everyone would order Long Islands two at a time (since they didn't give you more than that at once). Summer semester was the best because you could get 8-10 in the 40 minutes that was "power hour" since there weren't many other college kids there.

That bar has since closed (but not before changing power hour and making it generally suck) - not that it matters since I've since graduated and can't hardly drink like that anymore.

power hour = Drinking 1 shot of beer every min for an hour - about 6 beers, its eaisily dooable

a power century = same thing for 100 min and its a bit more difficult

Its about 7.5 beers if you use full 1.5oz shots.

I've done a double power hour before. Two back to back. That was rough. Although the worst was a single powerhour of ice beer...ugh

God I love it.

never done a double, the century was enough for me, at first its not bad but by the 80th min it seems like you are just doing shot right after shot with no break at all

I always heard 100 shots as the century club - we called 60 shots a power hour as well.

Maybe it was a local thing, but instead of Happy Hour back in college, the bars all called it Power Hour. The two bars I went to had all well drinks for $1 on Thursdays, so that was our official "power hour". It was actually kind of nice, one place was 7-8 and the other was 8-9 and it was on the way back home .

No way I can drink like that anymore though - I stick to my homebrew anymore.

Yea towards the end it feels like you're dying.

The problem for us when we did it was the timing of bathroom breaks between the shots. We only had one bathroom, it was upstairs, and there were 5 of us drinking downstairs.

we used to pregame with powerhour, it's not too bad.

Powerhour is the best pregame out there. Throw in a good powerhour mix...and its golden.
