Originally posted by normhead I'm not sure you can even pass engineering at any university worth it's salt without being able to hold a least a 6 pack at a party.
It has always been like that.
I just got back from 4 days in a conference with 33 engineers, from 11 countries, in Taichung.
The first night they walked to a seafood restaurant and during dinner, put away 130 bottles of Taiwan Beer.
The second night was by bus at an outdoor beer place, they got stuck into it again, with 1.5 litre tankards of draught
and the ritual toasting. It ended with the young ladies sponsoring a cell phone photo shoot which in retrospect might have been a bit ragged
and is so far not posted on the proceedings.
This confererence has been going on for nearly 30 years, by now I am the oldest standing and I don't even try to keep up.
