looks like your on a bit of a mission there.

if i was staying the night i'd be a possibility but I think my odds are about right considering i'm catching a late train out of town.

don't know ph drinking habits but would hav thought at 50/1 would be a good bet.

because PH takes a lot more than I do, but then again your question was not who drinks most but who gets drunk most, so you might be right

10/1?! Don't you know I'm a rock star?

I'll have £1000 on me please!

PH is a terrible bet because he's driving.

Are the even odds for Bodds because he will drink a lot or because he can't drink a lot?

A brief analysis.


Boddington's 1/1
A likely choice, but I don't like to bet the favorite in any horse race.

Ecthelion 2/1
Another good possibility, but adding his pic to Hot or Not keeps Andy straight enough to repond, to responses.

Immortal Wombat 3/1
Anyone that associates with Wombats, has a good chance.

Azazel 4/1
Known for excessiveness, this puts Azazel in the hunt.

Red Jon
He'll spend more time on the prowl.

Cockney 4/1
No. The potential is there, but things around the home will keep him feeling responsible.
Or drive him to the win.

Peter Triggs 7/1
I'm not really familiar with Peter, and that makes me think maybe he spends a lot of time in a drunken stupor.

One Foot in the Grave 7/1
Definite possibility. A known wild hair.

Drogue 7/1
Too responsible, unless he feels like yielding to evil for a change.

Zopper 7/1
Nope. He'll be concerned with falling over and ruining his 'fro.

Locutus 7/1
Again, known less to me than some others.
If he's meeting up with some of the rest of you though, he must be wicked.

Makeo 8/1
Odds seem high to me.
Makeo is a drunk waiting to happen.

MikeH 10/1
Depends on which personality possesses him at the time.

End is Forever 10/1
EIF will end up having to babysit the rest of your sorry asses.

Which brings us to Boddington's darkhorse.
Prov Harrison 50/1
I tell you what, I think this is a ploy.
Harrison is almost like MikeH, which makes me wonder about his odds.


Tough, tough bet.
I'm going with a semi-longshot, One Foot In The Grave.

I don't think so

Next time... JUST PUT IN THE CORRECT DATE

And I don't want to see anymore new threads on this.
Since it's a BIG meeting, I'll allow you two active threads... but don't push your luck...

One Foot in the Grave shortens to 5/1.
Bodd's shortens to 10/11
Red Jon to 7/2

Provost Harrison now at 100
End is Forever moves to 12s

You can't go changing after the fact.

Actually I wouldn't doubt it. I have a friend who I suspect is very much like Starchild (at least as I imagine Starchild), and he's the biggest alcoholic of all time.

starchild revels in his drunkeness.
David, GP would be your matchup, on this side.

Practice makes perfect.
GP's been practicing a hell of a long time.
He could teach you the tricks of the trade.
