****ing mutants with their whistles and barging and roaring, hate them

Have to admit-i always have a great time doing the 12 pubs.

Go to bars ive never been and never stay somewhere long enough to get bored.

always great craic.

Just because you go to 12 pubs doesnt mean you have to have 12 drinks and get obliterated.You can have a coke(waits for abuse).

You had a great time, everybody else already in the pubs thought you were a bunch of muppets.

It's not like the germans had to restrict all you can drink student nights because people were dying.

So everyone who did it thinks it great and everyone who hasn't done it thinks its evil?

I thought it was crap till I did it.

None of the silly rules except one drink per pub. I only did pints for the first 7 or 8. Then moved onto whiskey and coke because my tummy couldn't handle any more Guinness.

It was a nice evening. I wasn't too hammered either.

This +100.
Having 12 drinks is an ordeal enough for most people without moronic rules such as, it has to be a pint, you have to drink it in 10 minutes or you get a forfeit of a shot. If people are struggling with the volume of alcohol, do you really think even more is going to help?
How about a rule (if you must) that if you haven't finished your drink as everyone is leaving, you sit out the next one or can only drink a pint of water as punishment. bit of a win-win there

You always find the person pushing for these stupid rules is always the one who is a borderline alcho, and can be found in pub 11 or 12 staggering/swaying around knocking over other peoples drinks and dribbling down their chin.

Sir , no borderline alcho would be seen in the company of organised drinking groups , only fecking amateurs do monolopy or 12 pubs, they along with work are cure for the drinking glasses

Quite the opposite-we got along great and added a bit of fun to peoples drab nights.

Maybe you have no friends to do the 12 pubs with and might be slightly bitter.

people should actually try have a bit of fun now and then besides knocking those who do.

Having fun and 12 pubs are mutually inclusive?

Same thread every year... the christmas jumpers with/without lights, the elf ears, the countless younglings getting sick, the loud group, the takeover of the local quiet pub.

Thread every single Christmas haha

Sure you did.

So unless you're in organised groups with some tosser blowing a whistle every half hour, it's a drab night? So the rest of your nights throughout the year are drab without organised 'fun'?

Sofiztikated

I'd go, and probably have a laugh while I'm out,

BUT

I'm not going to, because most of the people doing it around here are utter gob****es.

12 pints is considered OK in Irish society ?


That's completely irresponsible to be promoting.

Yeah and then on to the nightclub to begin the actual drinking :pac::pac:

12 pubs is great craic, its the one time of the year when everyone just says Feck it, im going out and getting banjoed wearing a xmas jumper! As people said you get to try new places & its a great day out. We dont do the whole rules thing & im sure some of us will be on the bottles rather than pints

Sure what else would you be doing this weekend? Sitting in and watching X Factor? No thanks, out on the piss tomorrow & enjoy myself

Er, no. Love the false dichotomy here, it's X-Factor or 12 pubs, apparently.

Why not the 12 Lines of Christmas?

Still go to pubs but you have to pardon yourself to go and..ahem..powder your nose so to speak.

I've been to a few different events in Germany and there where plenty of drunkin German's stumbling around or unconscious , doubt many of them remembered much. It's not only the Irish who go OTT on alcohol at major events or occasions.

Im sure those people were perfectly happy having their drab nights before you decided to help them out by forcing your own brand of "fun" into the pub.

Yes because you and your mates were the ONLY group to have been clever enough to have thought of it that night

Temple Bar. 12 pubs. 12 pints. €500.

I'll be having about twelve pints over two days in the one pub. Some people have no grasp of thermodynamic efficiency. :cool:

I think the Publin site might have suggested routes

I'd do 24 pubs before I'd sit through X factor.

Of course after 24 pubs I'd be collapsed and soiling myself whilst watching X-Factor.

Hmm. In my case I'd need about twelve pints before I could watch the X-Factor without collapsing and soiling myself. :pac:

Any pub on the seafront between Howth and Dun Laoghaire. Have a pint in your silly jumper. Then blow your silly whistle, leave the pub, and head directly east. Make sure to wear your biggest, most absorbent silly jumper.

If you start early enough it's pretty OK. We started at 4 last year and no one was too bad. It's the ones that start at 8 and give 20 minutes a pub that are no fun and lead to catatonic levels if drunkenness.

RoboRat

I'd do 24 pubs before I'd sit through X factor.

I'd rather gouge my eyes out with a rusty spoon whilst ironing my nutsack than watch that ****.

Never done the 12 pubs, we generally wander around until we find one with a good atmosphere and make camp.

I can understand the disdain for a group of people walking backwards and drunk into a pub with some Fun-Nazi barking rules and blowing a whistle.

However, I am sensing a lot of hate towards the Christmas Jumpers. I think it's unfair to assume everyone wearing a Christmas jumper is on the 12 pubs. It's a festive session and I get great joy in putting on my Rudolph jumper and heading out and judging by the sales of these jumpers and other festive fashion items I am not alone in this.

I would be pretty disappointed and peeved to be turned away not because I'm on an intense bender with 20 other yobos but because I have terrible taste in fashion.

diomed

Is the point of this that you post about it on social media, tell work colleges, friends, family, and everyone you meet over Christmas that you did the 12 pubs?

Orgsinised pub crawls are a balls. By the fourth pub every bugger is rowing over where they go next, by the fifth they are no good to the pub they go into, slobbering over their drink and roaring about the 'bants' and being 'blindo'.

Fcuk off somewhere else, 12 pub brigade. Like Iran.

I've done two of them already this winter and I have at least one more. They're a great way to let off steam and there's always a series of random events throughout the night. I don't know how anyone is spending 100 euro for one though. Are ye drinking liquid gold or what?

pauliebdub

We're doing it next Friday, at least 10 of us going to 12 different pubs. We all have to wear our Christmas jumper and reindeer hats and since I'm organising it have to carry a bell that I ring when it's time to move on to the next pub. Can't wait, it's always mad, apart from the odd hassle.
