Prague: October, September 19th - the day when real men show their strength! Time for heroes to wake up and prove their skills. Time for loose girls to join them. Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the Beer rally! The second annual beer hunt started on one Wednesday evening, about two weeks ago. And because I missed the first one (which was last year) I had no idea whats going to happen. And neither had Honza, my fellow drinker who was later that night promoted to the team leader. 
<!–––break–––>
The rules of such beer rally are simple: teams of max. 7 drunkards, nine beers or shots for men, six for women. Only one beer or shot allowed at each pub. You get a stamp to your scoresheet from the waiters. First team one to complete the task wins the whole beer barrel! 
Our team called "Střízlíci" departed from the start point located at the college hallway at 8 pm that night. Our ambitions were high for as much as I know Honza is the drin-king of Prague. And he marked my words. With no pity or compassion he got us to the quick start at pub "U Sedmi vlků", where we had our first beer that night. Then "U Houdků" for another beer - Pilsner Urquell, my favourite!! Moving Later on to "Amsterdam" to ger more alcohol in our veins. I can still see clearly. Weiter nach pub "Nad Viktorkou" - where we stopped to get the Czech specialty, Czech rum called familiarly "Tuzemák". Thats four, almost halfway done in 25 minutes! We had no idea that by this time some other teams are already almost finished. Then to "Acropolis" for more beer. Then to another bar I name dont recall 
but I remember we met some co-drinking teams in there. Especially meeting those American girls was fun! We've also done some pics as we proceed in the game! You can see that the scoresheet card was almost filled - 6 out of nine stamps, only three more missing! But it took us a history to get them
3 pubs to go! Then we got lost (ask the team leader why). By that time, I was not knowing where we go. My father used to tell me not to mix any kinds alcohol together since I was a little child. Now I broke the rule. Oops. After some wondering we've found the pub "U dudáka" and we had a little rest. You can see what we had there at the top-most picture. Yes, it was the green shit called also "zelená"(just green) or "peppermintka"(peppermint liquor). It's the ecological shot and probably the cheapest shot on the menu anywhere. 
Then we spent long time in restaurant "U Tomáše Štítného" where we sat to the table with two older locals. They were so fucking drunk they would tell us everything about anything. So we had a little chat about the sex problems in a 30-year lasting marriage Fun! I recorded them with my cell phone, just for fun, because the quality is appaling. And, as the last difficulty during the rally we crawled to restaurant "Sklep" to have our last beer - after two and half hour! It's done! We got ourselves to the finish at Restaurant Morava and realized that most of the teams are already there.
Me and Honza - Beer Rally - Scoresheets filled!: Done, done, done! Zizkov, Prague.
The winners made it easily with only 6 shots needed to win - but who cares - it was fun ! We congratulate to the Spanish team called "Bianca" who got the trophy - hope the girls will enjoy it! And next time - we will probably join them to get better results Now see how it went on 2 minute video I recorded - showing
- the locals at Žižkov
- discarding of our friend Tomas who refused to go with us
- crowd in the finish
- Honza singing battle chorals!
HINT: A little idea about that crazy part of the city can be get at the map. Look how many pubs are located in area near the University of Economics! You can't even count them!
