Epcot Beer Challenge AKA Drink Around the World

A friend of mine recently attempted this challenge. By the time he made it to France he was so belligerently drunk that he tried to tackle a guy dressed up like  a chipmunk. So how does it work?

Typically you start at Mexico and work your way around the park, stopping for a drink in each of the 11 countries. Sometimes this means you’ll have to hit up a sit down restaurant, but apparently a lot more of the places have started serving booze- so there are options. Plus, 90+ temps and little kids screaming make for one hell of an afternoon.

  • Mexico: Dos Equis or margarita
  • Norway: (goat-made) vodka drink or glacier shot
  • China: Tsing Tao beer or whatever you can find
  • Germany: beer or rhine wine
  • Italy: wine
  • United States: beer (if you’re boring)
  • Japan: sake or plumb wine
  • Morocco: Casablanca Sunset or some mixed drink because why not?
  • France: wine (duh) or beer
  • United Kingdom: Scotch, Cognac, or Port
  • Canada: ale or iceburg vodka drink

Let the drunkenness ensue.

DRINKING GAME: Bull Riding

For when you’re stuck in a hotel room without movies…

*If you’re hardcore like us, this includes replays. And don’t pretend like you don’t know what I mean about redneck names. Chuck Cord. Travis Destiny. Justin McBride. Valdiron de Oliviera. You get it.

DRINKING GAME: The Emperor’s New Groove

One of my favorites (click to embiggen):

The Emperor's New Groove

A note about difficulty: Picking Pacha is a safe bet. Yzma isn’t bad either. Kronk is  risky, fucking Kuzco is a death sentence. Pick your poison. And don’t scoff at number 2. There are a shit ton of doors in this movie.

things you need to know #2: kings

Kings, according to Wikipedia, is “common among college students in the United States.” For once, Wikipedia isn’t being a lying sack of crap; Kings really is popular with the drinking kind. And if you’re wondering what the hell I’m talking about, please, go sit in the corner while I marvel at your blasphemy.

In Kings, cards are shuffled and arranged in a circle, usually around a can of beer. Players take turns choosing a card at random. Depending on what is drawn, different mini games are played. For example, if a 6 is pulled, all the “chicks” drink. If a 9 is chosen, the player says a word, then the players go round in a circle saying words that rhyme with that word. Anyone unable to come up with an original rhyme, drinks. One full set of rules can be found here. But, like the best games, Kings comes with variations. Everyone plays it a little differently; different cards mean different things to different dorms, frats, or entire campuses. Make up your own rules- and get drinking!
