Anyone doing it?
It seems not.
I do quite like how the Fern took a "is anybody going to abstain booze for a month" thread,
and where the correct answer was just a single "no",
... the thread has actually become a near celebration on how much everybody else is drinking, has drunk, will be drinking, and every other method of encouraging binge-drinking.
If I was a fucking nerd, I'd be saying... "This is the way". -

Should rename this thread Voodoo's Dry July! Are we going to place bets on when @voodoo will crack... I'm saying Saturday night.

It’s still July right?
ooh.. how did that one taste?
This stuff is a fantastic unknown. Didn’t realise anyone in NZ was making it until I went to order some cider.
To make this they must also be making some very nice “calvados” as well. Pommeau is a mix of calvados and apple juice which is then aged in oak for at least two years.
I like it straight but traditionally an aperitif. Can have over ice with soda or cider. Topped up with champagne is very good too. -

I had to had a couple of Emersons to wash down the ribs at Lone Star last night, she was a struggle, but I finished them (the ribs were a struggle, beers went down too easily)
Oh, good on you though @voodoo er, better man than I
although what was you reason for doing this? -

although what was you reason for doing this?Just need to get a bit healthier. Been drinking way too much, am carrying too many kgs.
Likely I won't last the distance, but if I can do a chunk of it then it's got to help!

Hopefully you're not replacing the drinking with eating.

We played Peter Plumley Walker (the drinking game, we didn't dupe him into being bound in a cupboard - that was someone else) in Dunedin.
Simple premise...
You replace the Roman numerals with parts of his name:
I = Peter
V = Plumley
X - WalkerEveryone sits in a circle and you start going round the circle with people counting up in Roman numeral styles:
Person 1 = "Peter"
Person 2 = "Peter Peter"
Person 3 - "Peter Peter Peter"
Person 4 - "Peter Plumley"
Person 5 - "Plumley"
Person 6 - "Plumley Peter"
... And so on
Person 11: "Walker Peter"
Person 14: "Walker Peter Plumley"Whoever fucks up the numbers has to drink and they start the count again.
What happens when you get near 50? Good question - we never got close.

Yeah - we had a couple of very similar ones, I can't remember the words used, but I think one of them was simply as low-brow as fuck, shit, fluffybunny.
21 was always a nice, easy, quick game.
One of my favourite things about travelling - is trying to teach, or learn, drinking games with foreigners - when there's practically zero shared language.
In China, Liar's Dice was a favourite... with most pubs in the city we lived having dice cups/sets available.
