Even if you are the founder of the team.

Effects of drinking early

Yesterday my football team had an early game, so our league sponsored happy hour started considerably earlier than past events. In other words, we started throwing back drinks at 4 PM.

There's something to be said about drinking early. I was sloshed by 8 PM (when we would normally be getting ready to go out). It also means I was hungover by 3 AM (when I would normally be getting home) and totally fine by 8 AM. As a result, I can have a totally productive day.

Extra casual

Yesterday our team had our first scrimmage. While we may be in the "extra casual" football league, we proved at the happy hour afterwards that we're in the "extra competitive" drinking league. We lost the football game but we demolished the competition at Beirut and flip-cup.

We're getting better though. I'm certain that with enough practice during the 8 weeks of the regular season we'll be able to take on the New York Jets. Oh not at football -- at beer pong.
