A pint of piss
ThisCaledonianClown's post reminded me of this.


A friend of mine who used to be in the army was at an Oasis concert a few years ago with a couple of his army pals, right at the front. As I understand it, standard practise is to just piss in an empty plastic cup rather than make the torrid journey through the crowds to the loos should you need a wee. On this particular occasion, as soon as my friend had filled his cup to the brim with urine one of his fellow troopers thought it would be awfully macho to grab the cup off of him and knock it back. He managed the whole lot and kept it down too by all accounts. As I understand it this sort of behaviour isn't entirely unusual within the military.

I think that sort of thing is compulsory in some regiments

Good thing I didn't sign up then
as I had once planned to do.

Google "Biscuit Game"
oh and the phrase "Swamping" as well. It seems the military have many traditions that would earn disapproval on civvy street

I'm well aware of the biscuit game
I thought that one was thought up by Eton schoolboys!

We had a lad
at work who knocked back a pint of someone else's piss in the first week as a bet.

It was one of the strangest work conversations I've ever had, when I had to tell him that drinking your colleagues' emissions for money is generally considered inappropriate behaviour.

He hadn't been in the Army, but he did go to public school. I imagine the two have many similarities.

I should imagine
It's pretty much the same taste and alcohol content as Budweiser.

Less shitty fizz too.
