I<\/span>t\u2019s Friday night and the air is getting hot. Like you baby. Ok excuse that crappy Whigfield song and let\u2019s talk Friday night rituals. The workweek is over and you\u2019re already thinking about how to get wasted, and we\u2019re here to help you.\n\n<\/p>As \u00a0mortals, we\u2019ve invented J\u00e4gerbombs, B-52s, and Patr\u00f3n to make us feel so fucking bulletproof that we could fight a war buck naked. This feeling has resulted in partying hard, and then, partying a little harder. So dedicated are we now to the idea of partying and getting wasted that we\u2019ve created a pre-party before the actual party begins. Welcome to pregaming, brought to you by <\/span>binge drinking<\/span><\/a>, the secret to every great night. <\/span>\n\nNow I\u2019ve been to my share of mad parties, and consumed enough booze to keep me drunk for days on end, so I can rightfully say that pregaming is the professionally certified part of every night of epic partying. Thou shalt pregame to <\/span>party<\/span><\/a> hard and thou shalt do it well. Here are your eight commandments:<\/span>\n\nThou Shalt Not Show Up On Time <\/b>\n\nPre-gaming is technically starting the partying early, but you must show up late, ideally by an hour and half. That way you get into the party when things have already started rocking. The last time anyone was concerned about timings was in college for attendance and you don\u2019t want to be that loser. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\n\nThou Shalt Not Show Up Empty Handed<\/b>\n\nWe all know that guy. You know the one who shows up and drinks everyone else\u2019s booze and brings nothing to the table. Nobody likes this guy, but, they still invite him out of mere formality. Hey, it\u2019s a pregame sesh, but it still involves alcohol even though everyone is secretly hoping this guy drinks a little more phenyl and a little less alcohol. Don\u2019t be that guy. <\/span>\n\nThou Shalt Procure Chakna <\/b>\n\nChakna is Robin to the alcoholic Batman. Without it, no party can start. Nobody should withhold the addictive taste of <\/span>chakli<\/span><\/a> when you\u2019re burning up on four shots of vodka. Besides, considering your inner alcoholic is bound to come out at some point into the night, a bit of food would do you more good. Also, nobody eats at bars or clubs, unless you want to play 18 per cent GST. <\/span>\n\nThou Shalt Not Stop Pouring Shots<\/b>\n\nLet\u2019s be clear, the spirits that you see on the table are meant for consumption. Do not, under any given circumstances, stop pouring shots. It really kills the vibe of a great party. And, if people are being reluctant or choosy, just hand them a shot, and scream cheers. I can promise you that the entire room will down their shots. It\u2019s a Pavlovian response. <\/span>\n\nThou Shalt Not Pass Out <\/b>\n\nPregames have the ultimate potential to get out of hand, but there\u2019s always someone who would kill to sleep when all the madness is just about the begin. Do not let them. Everyone must be drunk enough to break the dance floor. Passing out is a sign of weakness. We\u2019re preparing for <\/span>war<\/span><\/a>, people! Drink up! <\/span>\n\nThou Shalt Not Throw Up<\/b>\n\nThrowing up at a party is very unseemly, unless, you throw up on someone you are crushing on. In which case, let\u2019s just hope someone records it. The night is about doing enough shots so you can run like the wind, not so you lie face down in the pot, retching. It helps to know your capacity, but it really helps if you try to double it before the night ends. <\/span>\n\nThou Shalt Record Everything<\/b>\n\nNothing says best friends like sharing the gigantic fuck-ups from the night. From the first shot to hugging random strangers, to drunk people falling and tripping, record everything. Photographic evidence of the night is also helpful in case some of your friends go missing, decide to go on an adventure out of the club, or experience memory loss. Just, keep it to yourself. <\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
