funny rules suggestions for 12 pubs

Looking for funny rules suggestions (if any) for 12 pubs of xmas.... Yes I know some of you will say why rules but just ads to the banter had by using them...

So far off top my head :
1. The left-handed pub - all drinks to be handled with the left hand only.
2. The no swearing pub - no swearing.
3. The fake accent pub - each participant to speak in a different accent for the duration.
4. The swap shoes pub - swap one shoe with another participant.
5. The no pointing pub - no pointing.
6. The no resting pub - no sitting, leaning or resting your drink
7. The no holding your pint pub - your drinking buddy has to feed you your pint!!
8. The try and stay going pub - no rules, nearly there!!
9. The final furlong pub - your there, relax and enjoy the night!

Any more funny one's that people could think of please?? Thanks in advance

The no pissing pub?

The Backwards Man · 13-11-2013 08:14PM

The stay the fcuk out of my local with your fancypants hipster drinking games pub.

Links234 · 13-11-2013 08:15PM

The fancy cocktail pub? Where everyone has to drink a fancy cocktail?

o1s1n · 13-11-2013 08:16PM

My favourite one is;

1. Walk into the first bar, buy a drink, sit there and enjoy for the rest of the evening.

The have-a-pint-of-water-and-a-hang-sandwich-because-youre-only-five-pubs-in-and-youve-already-spewed-everywhere rule pub

wretcheddomain · 13-11-2013 08:18PM

St. Stephen's Green Pub (buy a few cans)

MadsL · 13-11-2013 08:19PM

The aliens replaced the human's World's End Pub?
Hire the entire pub, get a flash mob together and have everyone turn into zombies at the stroke of 11pm. Watch as your mates **** themselves...:D

The walk backwards pub. Leave it until near the end for hilarious/disastrous effect.

Hoi! I already said I don't want them in my local. It's a local pub for local people. There are no gimmicks here.

The waterfall pub - every time someone takes a drink everyone else has to drink with them

allblack · 13-11-2013 08:56PM

Great suggestions so far people....thanks.

So I've added two more the waterfall pub (brendan flowers - thanks) and the no sports pub - no one can talk about any sports.

Now undecided..... Suggestions of the don't stop dancing pub and the walk backwards pub.

Decisions, decisions!!

Ciaran_B · 13-11-2013 09:01PM

Could you give us a list of the pubs you and your mates will be drinking in? A couple of days should be enough.

I've noticed a great flaw in this list of twelve pubs...

tayto lover · 13-11-2013 09:06PM

The "no talking" pub where you have to nod at the barman to get you the drink you want and you can't talk to anyone while there.

keith16 · 13-11-2013 09:09PM

The "this whole 12 pubs got real fucking old, real fucking quick" pub

Pherekydes · 13-11-2013 09:11PM

Buy twelve cans and you have to drink them in twelve different parks around the city. You must run between parks.

suicide_circus · 13-11-2013 09:12PM

you should do the 12 pubs on and around the shankill road, I recommend you carry a tri colour and wear a tshirt with "King Billy was a nancy" on the front.

allblack · 13-11-2013 09:14PM

Bit of banter folks, some people do it for laugh, some people just enjoy the pints and getting through it.

If you've no suggestions Santa Cruz.... keep your opinions to yourself.

Did it the last two years and great laugh. One pint per pub. 30 mins in each pub. Break a rule, skull the pint! If the pint is nearly finished do a shot.

It's not for everyone I understand that . although going by last few years, It's good laugh though.

lahalane · 13-11-2013 09:16PM

Wow, a lot of bitterness towards the 12 pubs in this thread...

How about a 'No answering questions' pub. It's easy enough catch people out with that one too so it could be a bit of fun.

THAT'S ONLY 9 MOTHER****ING PUBS YA BIG WENDY!!! :mad:

Is the '12 pubs' the new Arthur's day, in terms of things people love to hate? I've never participated in either but people seem to have a pretty strong hatred of both, I'm not really sure why.

That is actually brilliant!

allblack · 13-11-2013 09:22PM

I know that, hence why I asked for for rules cause 9 + 3 more rules will make up the magical number of 12!!

Well done though on a useless input, your maths is good... you'll go places.

Expect your Blue Peter badge in the post!!!!

Kev_2012 · 13-11-2013 09:23PM

The dancing rule is a good one.

Can't remember which rule it was but we knew a bunch of lads that had a rule that when a certain other rule was broken you had to carry a sliced pan around until someone else broke it.

The strangers pub is good too, except for we done it in a pub where we knew the barmaid and had to completely ignore her, she was not impressed!

lahalane · 13-11-2013 09:25PM

We had an 'As Gaelige' pub before but it was a kick in the face to the language really...we were awful.

Another thing we did once was carry around a turkey mask that was for the last person who finished their pint in each pub.

GLaDOS · 13-11-2013 09:27PM

The "No ****ing stupid overpriced christmas jumpers" pub

For 3 successive years 2 of us from work would attempt this challenge, but I don't remember us ever completing it in terms of reaching pub#12, but we did make it to pub#9 once though so according to the op we did actually complete this challenge!

1 - shot of anything to get warmed up
2 - spirit of any kind, any form, with ice if wanted
3 - liquor, again in any form
4 - beer/lager - as someone who never liked either, this was always my 'don't look at the light' moment
5 - chose something for the other, pending bit**iness toward each other at this point determined how far more we would struggle on (knowing what each other did not like to drink)
6 - mixture of any 2 of the above
7 - no ice allowed from here: some whiskey
8 - cocktail of choice
9 - anything we could manage/had any liking for

It was great fun at the time, I remember that & the photos helped us remember! Looking back now as someone who doesn't drink much/at all really, it's all a mystery how we both made into work the following day. Some scary stories about interactions with the public, but we always made it into work.

Different types of 12-nights out there.

One could always mix in some non-alco drinks in the pubs, to extend the night. Something we never done, but maybe we would have completed the 12-nights if we actually had

Ah to be young again! Nah! I think I am happier now than I was during those years.

Richard Hillman · 13-11-2013 09:47PM

Rules are good. Rules help regulate the fun.

It encourages binge drinking. not responsible drinking

That doesnt sound to hard to me, id get through that before I go out in a sturday night

The Islamic Pub - Enter a local mosque and down a can in full view.

I'm sure it would go down well, not to mention the alcohol.

13-11-2013 10:55PM

I love the 12 pubs but I don't get why people want all these stupid rules. A few of us do it every year on the same street, start around 1pm and just make our way along and have a great laugh always finish it, always with more than 12 pints drank by the end, we've never been turned away, never asked to leave or even got funny looks as we are not dressed stupidly or playing games.

It's something I really look forward to, roll on the 14th December

Ihatecuddles · 13-11-2013 11:10PM

Carrying a sliced pan if you break a rule is gas!

There should be a 'yes/no game' pub. You cant say yes or no!

Witchie · 14-11-2013 12:17AM

A group of us have been doing it the last few years and we usually put the names of all the pubs into an envelope and pull out the next one just before we leave the one we are in so that there is no rhyme or reason to where we go.

We do rules too and a lot of them have been mentioned already but some others are:

You have to end each sentence to the bar person with the word "guinness" so you would order a pint of Carlsberg Guinness or such.
Another was you are not allowed to touch your own drink and the person on your right hand side has to feed you it.
The talk in song lyrics rule is a toughy especially if you have been to a few pubs already.

Cant rem the other rules but it is a bit of a laugh. We used to do it as a group of Monaghan United fans and all wear Mons gear but with our demise last year we all had to wear christmassy jumpers but homemade if possible. So basically sew a load of crap Christmas decorations onto an old jumper.

Cant wait for this years one.

Mint Aero · 14-11-2013 12:21AM

I'm chronically OCD when it comes to me beer. If there was a rule about some fella feeding me drink I'd vomit into the pint glass.

uggybear · 17-11-2013 06:59PM

no loud laughing or banter pub, everyone must talk intelligently in conversations and no effing and blinding occasional swearing is ok but not out loud
