What, you've never gotten the questions at SSE Greeter from people wanting to "ride EPCOT"?

I have, but I can't seem to edit my first post anymore to put it in there...

Well, my mom (of all people) taught me a game we call
drinking Epcot (a different kind of beer/wine/liquor in each country)...I dunno about riding Epcot though...sounds uncomfortable! Although, once we've drunk our fill of Epcot, everything we do gets a description rather than a name: "Yeah, we're gonna go past the big ball and where the water squirts out of the ground, then we gotta go out where they take tickets and we'll find our car in the big flat place where they keep all the...uh...cars!"

(We always have a DD, though! Don't attempt to drink Epcot and Drive or you could ruin your magical day by hitting a magical tree and having to meet a magical man with a magical badge and gun...and he won't think your "thirty-trips-around-it's-a-small-world-spanish- edition-because-you-were-playing-it-as-a-drinking-game-with-margaritas" story is nearly as funny as you do!)

We once met a group of people who were playing "drink Epcot" and based on their condition, they had just about made their goal! They were happy drunks, tho'...seemed to be having a great ol' time and were quite amusing to talk to. I think if I had consumed as much as they had, I would have been sprawled out unconscious on a bench somewhere...I don't have the stamina to make it very far.

Some of us call it "Drink Your Way Around the World". I havd know several who have done it. Their advice: Don't start with Mexico and save the Margerita's until last. Should be interesting in several weeks when Food & Wine starts

No no no, my friend! You have it backwards! For safety's sake, please remember this simple little rhyme:
Hard before beer, you're in the clear!
Beer before hard, puking in the yard! (or on Mission: Space or Test Track or in a nice topiary...the options are endless--and colorful, depending on what you've eaten! The best is going and getting some sushi and sake from Japan to top off the binge--that assures that when someone pops, you get a really neat kaliedescope effect with lots of cool colors and patterns)
On a more snippy note: I hold in contempt anyone who would waste what is generally very good wine by getting
drunk at the food and wine fest. Get drunk on it, and you can't taste it! Don't go to a wine tasting if you're too white trash to get that!
<gets off soap box and goes to puke in a topiary> :ewww:

I agree............. On a funny note, several years ago I was backstage by AA and saw the funniest thing. There standing, or more accurately swaying and circled by Disney Security and OC Sherrifs :aliens: was this guest who attempted to drink his way around the world. He had this BIG RED BOW :p: on his head. The man could just about stand up. I think the rest of his trip was not going to be around the world, but in a cruiser....... :D:

I am a Baptist lady who will not touch alcohol so I prefer the sinful gluttonous event known as "Eating Around the World in Under 80 Pounds Gained".

Just so long as the winner still gets to celebrate by puking in a topiary, sounds like a fun game! :D:
