Drinking with real men

[AVALON_013]

I have been invited out with my soon to be father in-law and his friends who can all drink loads and loads. Is there something i can take which will help me stay sober for longer as after 4 pints i want to go to sleep! Any help would be great as i don't want to loose face :(

Every time it's your round, get yourself a soft drink, but make out there's some kind of spirit in it.

Alternatively, coke. Actually I just watched football factory and there's a scene in that that you ought to avoid doing if you do follow that advice.

make sure you eat well before you go out, don't go in rounds and just drink at your own speed, don't worry about keeping up with the others (if you think they'll call you a skinflint for not going in rounds buy the first one then tell them your going on your own after that).

Tell em you're on tablets for a minor health condition so can't go mad, or even better tell them the TRUTH that you're not a heavy drinker, that must be an amiable quality in a future son in law.

you need to get in some practice in. build up the amount you drink untill you can achieve about 10 pints. you'll enjoy the training!

Drink at your own pace and don't let them force you to drink if you have had enough.

Be truthful, and go at your own pace. Or, drink halves instead of pints (that way you'd get your 4 pints in, but you'd be getting through 8 glasses of the stuff!), and eat something before you go out, to line your stomach.
