Intoxicated Claus:

Whats better than merely celebrating Christmas? Celebrating Christmas dressed as Santa Claus!

Whats better than merely celebrating Christmas dressed as Santa Claus? Celebrating Christmas dressed as Santa Claus whilst drinking too much!

…and that’s what we did! For the 4th year in a row we gathered a dozen Santas (and one Frosty!) and set out on a downtown drinking binge.  Every year I set myself a challange to see how cheap I can get away with a night of heavy drinking for.  I fill my pocket with a small pile of cash as “booze money” then I head out and see how little I can spend.

This all started the first year (2006) when we went out and I brought $100. I bought the first round for Aaron and I for $11 then the evening faded to drunken oblivion. The next morning, after dragging my brother off his bathroom floor, I cringed as I glanced in my wallet to see what kind of damage I did. To my absolute astonishment I still had $87, and thus my tradition of getting people to buy Santa a beer began!

This year I started with $40 and the next morning I still had $18 in the old wallet.  Which made it a good year but not quite the best, but plenty of people got added to the “Nice” list for providing Santa with something refreshing to indulge in.
