Who says college isn’t fun? I graduated quite a while ago, but still remember the good old days of watching the near-by guys religiously become members of “The 100 Club”, which was most definitely a rite of passage for many of them, even those who never joined the Greek system.

The idea behind “The 100 Club”, which now has its very own Facebook Group dedicated to the idea, is to drink 100 consecutive shots of beer, one every minute, for one hundred minutes without vomiting or running to the toilet. It is definitely debatable whether this is a positive drinking experience for most of the participants- my guess is that half of them can’t even remember it.

Sound like a good time? Not to me, it doesn’t. When I researched “The 100 Club” on the Internet, I found multiple cautionary tales warning against the dangers of binge drinking and few recommendations for the game itself.  The 39 devotees of “The 100 Club” on Facebook had other thoughts on the matter:

One member found it so easy that he joined the club while simultaneously playing chess; I’m guessing that it wasn’t his best game, but it’s still pretty impressive.

Another had this to say: just joined the other week it was really hard especially when my mate who was doing it with me threw up on 70 and 82 right in front of me.

Please note that I am definitely not recommending this club to anyone as I’ve seen several people get sick during the course of the game.
