    There is nothing wrong with the base idea, 12 pubs (although too much for most people) should actually be a nice gentle day that takes you around the pubs.

    however, like in many cases, people feel to need to 'add' to the 'fun' by insisting that arbitrary rules, that they deem funny, should be followed religiously and with fear of punishment if you don't go along with their version of fun based on a clear set of rules steadfastly adhered too.

    And someone wants to charge you €100 to organise this? How about save the €100, get a few of your mates and start with an early house, nice pint, big fry up and take it from there.

    I presume it's the total price of the pints, taxi home etc.

    Wait! People are charging 100e to go on a pub crawl? And some folk are paying?

    Your problem there is paying to use the jacks, there are many free ones. Look around.

    50 of us did it in Cork last weekend

    Brilliantly organised

    30 mins per pub, bell rings after 25 mins, 1 drink per pub, after 30 mins outside for photo then move on

    Simples when done right and you have good organiser


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,889 ✭✭✭✭The Moldy Gowl


    Organised fun can **** right off.
    I can buy 12 cans and look at boobs on the internet any day of the week.

    Aren't you the dandy fun merchant with your bells, alarms and fun selfies to manage the fun along during your fun drinking session. Fun fun fun.

    "Simples" makes me hope you to get a sh1t on a stick for Xmas this year.

    Sure isn't the twelve pubs a Christmas tradition.

    Apparently it's origins stem from the three wise men who stumbled into the stable mistaking it for the next inn. That explains the terrible inappropriate new-born gifts they had in their possession.

    To be fair they weren't all rubbish gifts. Gold was fine Frankinsence and the last one were meh.

    I have done the 12 pubs with 30 others for the past few years.
    It's a great day and night :-) 30 mins per pub, starts at 2pm. Last few pubs take a little longer than 30 mins...or maybe we are too drunk and think so!!
    Takes longer to recover now!!

    Sounds like a load of bollox. Rules for drinking? Let me drink my 8 cans before going out in peace. **** off with your drinking games as well

    What if I drink my pint in less than half an hour?

    It's all fun and games until I cum on the bell end and stick it in your hole and impregant you with a baby gowl.

    What kind of gowl brings a ****ing bell out with them.

    We did it last week in Cork. All of us dressed as reindeers except the tall guy of the group dressed as Santa claus. Great fun
    I've never taken so many pictures with strangers!

    Treasure those photographs. Frame 'em and hang 'em because they'll mean so much in years to come.

    12 pubs is my idea of hell.

    Saw a good few groups last weekend. All traisping around in their 'funky/wacky' christmas jumpers, looking like sheep, binge drinking.

    (man, I'm an old fart)

    That's actually the main reason I hate it.

    You're having a leisurely pint and all these groups pile in the door and barge their way to the bar to get served within the "time frame".

    A pox on choreographed drinking on the clock.

    30 mins to drink a pint is loads of time unless you are a yank on holidays spending 2 hours to drink a pint of guinness.

    Christmas jumper wankerrs strolling in with their big office worker heads on them and ruining my pint.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,480 ✭✭✭Chancer3001


    Buckfast is counting as two pubs for us.

    A litre of beer in a beer tent is 2

    The nightclub will count as 1.

    I can't wait

    Not when you factor in everybody getting served in a busy pub.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,346 ✭✭✭✭homerjay2005


    12 pubs is one of the best days of the year, its a once a year event and people should actually try have a bit of fun now and then besides knocking those who do.

    theres 20 of us doing it next weekend and its our 7th year doing it.

    12 pints is considered OK in Irish society ?


    That's completely irresponsible to be promoting.

    Ah 12 pubs, Nothing like a load of people barging into a pub wrecking everyones buzz then one by one asking "what's your cheapest pint" before standing around not talking because they're trying to catch each other out for the forfeit.

    ****.

    Some of the Irish have an extremely delinquent attitude towards alcohol. The difference in attitude between the Germans and the Irish is extraordinary. And the Germans are a people who enjoy their beer. But rarely to self-medicate. Or to forget.

    Allow max 25 mins to get served, 5 minutes to down a pint is well doable.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,744 ✭✭✭diomed


    Organised fun is seldom fun.
    Just going for one and then heading home is the start of a session.
