I got to the party late and "had to catch up" with my friends who had been partying for a couple hours already. So as the shit talking gets deeper somone suggests that I "down the whole bottle" and then that idea degrades to "how fast can you drink the whole bottle" and then we decide the goal is "less than one minute". The betting starts, people are throwing their entire wallets in the pot since they know "you can't do it", people are even throwing their car keys in since they know it can't be done. Because it was near Christmas time and available, I chose a widemouth holiday bottle of Four Roses whiskey thinking that it might give me a better chance at getting it down fast since if I hesitate along the way I'm sure I'll throw it all up before it all gets down. The drama builds as my Navy medic buddy at the party points out the dangers of shock and death, and he offers to mix up a batch of some liquid that will make me throw up fast in case it doesn't happen on its own. So as the drums roll I take a deep breath, lift the bottle, and suck it dry in less than 10 seconds!...official count was 8 seconds. Now that I'm pumped up to continue the drama, I say "wow, that's not bad maybe I have time for another one"...but my Navy buddy hands me the nasty throwup liquid and I belt that down and proclaim "hmmm, that's good can I have another one with vodka". And a couple seconds later he talks me into going upstairs to clear my stomach before I die, which I do...throw up that is, not die...and I could barely stand up after a couple more minutes and it was not one of my more pleasant drunks in case any of them are.
So this is still a somewhat "legendary" story among my friends.
