Last night my workplace had the yearly Office Christmas party. These things can often be fraught with madness, drinking and debauchery.
As a result. I am quite a fan of them.
The night started off well, we feasted on steaks and quaffed copious bottles of beer and wine. I had a free pass from the good lady to drink and live it large and was taking her up on her kind offer.
Much later in the evening, the wheat had been cut from the chaff and the beer-o-nauts that were left, myself included, swayed about in some Spanish bar.
We had ordered a bowl of fire (seriously) and as we swayed back and forth, tales of derring-do were swapped. One of the chaps McBurns asked if anyone was up for a drinking game.
What game?
I roared.
It's called Sock.
How does the game Sock go?
I slurred like a magnificent shining beast of yore.
Well...
He took a deep breath.
What you have to do right... Is get two glasses and fill them full of lots of different drinks...
Gotcha.
Nodded I and the other few dudes left standing.
Then you and one other person take off one of your socks...
Yeeeees...
Said I, not liking the sound of where this was going.
He leaned in.
Then you take your glass and the other dude takes his glass...
We waited expectantly. The bar seemed to have gone quiet, perhaps everyone was intrigued by Sock.
Then you put your sock over your glass of mad drink...
Oh no, surely you don't take a drink through your sock?
I shouted in horror. After all, I had been wearing my socks for like 18 hours or something.
He grinned with berserk glee.
NO! You and the other dude swap glasses and you down the drink through the other guy's sock!
There were vomiting noises and sounds of disgust from his audience.
So anyone up for it?
Strangely, there weren't any volunteers.
Is this the worst drinking game ever? Have you got a worse one? Who makes up this shit?
Even worse... Have you ever played Sock?
