The beer was available at stands for us, we didn't have to carry it with us. The average time over the 1.1 mile course was about 3 hours. You Germans are much, much tougher than we were, but our costumes were more ridiculous.

But it good to see that young Thor can carry on a bit in his father's (uneven) footsteps if he attends university in Germany.

Other drinking games we played included beer pong, quarters, whales tales, liar's polker, and being mean to Carl Sagan. I'd provide links to these, but I'm on an iPad and grabbing and pasting links does not work well with DU.
