So kov brought up this entertaining idea that people play songs sober, then have a drink, play them again, have a drink, et cetera until you fail, and record the scores on here to see who has like, the best drunker guitar hero skills.
Kov could explain it better but I figured I'd make a thread for it since I'm doing it right now!
Remember, one run only per...state of sobriety.

Here is what I posted about it last night:
I have something for people (of age of course) that would like to just have fun but not try for high scores when they plan on drinking for a night:
The point of this is to gauge peoples' tolerances for drinking. Just follow the procedure below (if anyone does this, I'd be fairly impressed....Based on pictures alone (from Mugshots), I'd say B3nz0r and Huwonk will be the only people that will do this...maybe Squirell):
Play a song when completely sober: record the score
When you start to drink, play the song again: record the score
Every beer (or drink for those of you that don't drink beer), play the song again: record the score
Drink until you can't pass the song (or until you can't type...whichever comes first).
Graph your score vs. #drinks........I think you will notice it is a very high downward slope at some point. The point of your highest downward slope is your Guitar Hero Drunkeness Point. Your GHDP will determine how well you play while drinking. Go ahead and try this for various songs. I feel you will find the song is a small part of the equation.
If you say, "Hey, I can play song 'X' twice as well as song 'Y'. then there is a good chance that song 'X' is harder than song 'Y'. In these cases, you have to multiply a factor into your score for song X to get an accurate representation of your score for song 'Y'. I will have to wait until people try this (if people try this) before I can make any judgments on overall 'scores' or achievements of drunken playing.
I just think this would be something that is fun to research...
[/end post from last night]
Being sober today, I realize there are a lot of variables that aren't taken into consideration...what you're drinking, relative strength of the drinks, how long you take to drink each drink, possibly even time of day, etc. I also need to make up some sort of equation for the GHDP to show who the "winner" is... I'll think about this some more this week. and I'll definitely do it at some point. Maybe Thursday night. _________________

Plus you gotta take into consideration that you can mess up 1 SP and it'll throw off the score for the whole song in some cases. Now to get another white russian.
And I don't care about winning, I just thought it was a good excuse to drink

Even though I don't need an excuse to drink, this is still a great one. Can I get in on this? Well, I will anyway regardless. I don't think I'm drinking tonight but I'll have scores by Friday. Very nice topic guys. _________________

All the credit goes to kov, he had the idea I just decided to do something about it. And I'm almost done with my 3rd WR. _________________

Anyone can get on it, no matter what difficulty level, you just have to be of age. Its to see how worse people get as they get more drunk. _________________

Some of my current high scores are actually from when I'm drunk...not too many of them though. |

I'm not sure we can draw any conclusions from your scores so far..you seem to be doing much worse on some..and better on others.
...actually..the only conclusion I can draw so far is you can kick my ass sober, or while getting drunk. |

i think a better game would be to play through a song... and for every time you break a streak, you have to drink. Not like a full drink... but like... drinking game style... where you take basically one swallow of your drink for each mistake.
You'd have to have someone sober counting, so that way once you finish a song they could tell you how many times. A couple of times through a song and you would probably have a nice buzz going... then if you keep going, your number of mistakes will gradually increase... and you just keep going until you are so drunk that you wind up just failing the song.... at which point you have to finish your drink, and then the next person plays
Just for fun, try a song like Cowboys from Hell, Bark at the Moon, or the Breaking Wheel. And make sure that whoever is counting for you is REAL accurate hahaha _________________

I was just playing Halo with my brother and everytime you lost in a 5 kill match you had to do a shot. Fun stuff. _________________
