Message: [QUOTE="MSGRET, post: 4548556, member: 8506"] I had a 1st SGT teach me a lesson about the play hard when I was an E4. I was at a German club on Rose Montag and I had someone challenge me to break the house record of 25 mugs of beer, I was already on my 8th at the time. I told them I could afford it, one of the guys said he would cover it even if I didn't break it. Each mug was a half liter and it was great German beer. By the time I got to number 20 the owner of the club stated that if I broke the record everything was on the house. Well I ended up drinking 27 of them, equal to 13 1/2 liters of beer. It stayed the record till the club finally closed due to the Army's draw down in Germany. When I was in the supply room trying to stay awake and sober up the next morning the 1st SGT came in looked at me and started laughing, looked at my Supply SGT and said he's mine for the day. He put me through the grinder the whole day, had to heave it at least 3 times and he didn't let up. At the end of the day he stated that he could have given me an official reprimand, but that wouldn't have been effective in teaching me you "don't drink to excess on a weeknight unless you have the next day off". One good thing came out of the whole mess was my future wife saw the drinking game and was kinda intrigued on my night of drinking. I saw her watching when I was going at it, but didn't ask her to dance that night, too busy to think of it. When I went back to the club the following Friday I asked her to dance and she accepted, I fell in love with her that night, but she had reservations about dating an American soldier, I won her over in the end and have been happily married for almost 47 years.
