"Beerfest" chugging--real or fake?

Stinsok · #1 02-09-2009, 07:40 PM

Ha ha.

I love the movie. I believe some was real. Most was fake.

This reminds me of an old mate of mine who is German, and he can drink a lot (as we've been drinking on many an occasion). It must run in the family because his dad, in his youth in Germany, at an Oktoberfest one year, once sculled 3 jugs of beer in about a minute, winning some drinking competition. Impressive.

Das Boot is real to, and ever since that movie came out its VERY popular. I have two of the 2 liter Das Boots myself.

i have a story about this movie, i remember it clearly..

when my wife told me she wanted a divorce (the second time), it hurt bad.. so at one point, i left the house (while we were separated, not divorced yet) and moved with my dad cause he's just cool and "looked after me" in my really bad state.. well his GF of many years pulled a fast one and "politically" got me kicked out of my dad's house by my family (only my closest friends here at TB know this one, so don't bother asking about it here).. i had no where to go, i had my only "buddy" left, Jaco my rottie...

I called my wife (we were still separated) and asked her to take care of Jaco because of what happened and I couldn't find an apartment in town that would allow a large breed dog. I WAS NOT GOING TO GIVE UP MY DOG. So she said to come move back with her while I searched for an apartment...

I was miserable, she was with another man. Not there at the house, but you get my drift.. I was there for exactly 30 days.. on one of the last days, she called me on the way in from work, "Pookie!! You need to see this movie, it's about beer drinking"... "OK" (what did i have to lose, i really needed anything to make me laugh)

We watched that movie and laughed so hard, I had tears in my eyes!! It was like we had forgotten all of our issues and our separation.. it was like when we were in love a long time ago.. This was "out" thing, we loved watching "stupid" movies together because that's our humor. to this day, she's still the funniest woman i have ever met. We had a great time.. When it ended, i just sat there and thought deep down inside, "what happened to us?"

I'm never going to watch that movie ever again, not because I didnt' think it wasn't funny or good, it's because I can't let it take me back to that memory ever again.. i'm not strong enough.

sorry for the bummer, guys, but i just had to write.. although i won't watch the movie again - I WANT DAS BOOT!!! I want to put it right next to the giant leg lamp i want to buy from the movie, A Christmas Story!!!! LOL

Sorry to hear that dude. It always sucks when you remember something good, but all it brings back in the end is miserable memories.

And since I have not seen the movie, I had not a clue of what you guys meant by Das Boot.

I always knew them as stiefel's.

Jake of Bass · #11 02-09-2009, 09:11 PM

I need those beer glasses!

The boot chugging in the movie at the end was obviously fake. But if you get the DVD and watch some of the extra features you'll see the American guys and the guys who played the German team in a real chugging contest at some restaurant.

sonic assassin · #14 02-10-2009, 01:30 AM

yea.. pretty sure that would kill someone.

movie was fairly entertaining though.

Yup. I know exactly what you mean. You have my sympathies.

ADbassman · #16 02-10-2009, 06:01 AM

Isn't there some warning at the beginning of the movie that explicitly states that you will die if you consume that much alcohol?

I have a similar story with the movie "Once" I was in a long distance relationship with this girl for over a year, and on our last visit (when we knew we were breaking up, and did) she had to have watched that movie a good 6-7 times that week. So obviously, i automatically started to hate the movie, and soundtrack (which is amazing).

Its unfortunate, cause it is a good movie. And when i got back home my best friend at the time fell in love with the soundtrack himself and kept putting it on, and i would try and man up and just block it out and not say anything, until one day.... well yeah. I basically broke down and was like please, stop playing it.

Thats my sob story hahaha.

But, to keep on topic, some of it is real, most of it is fake.

I wonder how many people saw the Animal House scene of Bluto chugging an entire bottle of Jack Daniels and believed that you can do that without dying.

Yeah Spencers sells them or pretty much any novelty store online. The 2 liter runs about 25 but you can sometimes find them all the way down to shot glasses haha. Kind of defeats the purpose though.

I know I could, hell I almost did it sunday night. Still hung over. I gotta stop drinkin for reals.

There's a bar in minneapolis that has das boot. God, what's the name of it....Mario Kellars is the basement part, but there's a german resturuant upstairs. They have the boot and snuff, the stuff you shoot up yer nose. Ugh, don't do it. You just sneeze a lot and yer nose goes numb depending on the "flavor" you choose. Don't forget though when you pass the boot you have to flick it.
