First of all, I drink every day. Secondly, I just woke up.
The pub trivia I go to on occasion is very chill. It starts at 7 and usually wraps by 8:30 at the latest and I typically have 1-2 beers the whole night. I get up for work at 5 and this still works out pretty nicely
Noice!
How many drinks are you having that it’s an issue? How late are trivia nights running?
I’ve not been to one in a long time but I’d probably have two pints and be done before nine. That might not be accurate, it’s been fifteen years, but that’s what I recall.
I’d typically be done before nine pints too 😁
Hah! Very good, I hadn’t spotted that.
Yeah, I usually have a couple of pints and am home by 8 if we leave immediately or 9-10 if we hang out longer.
I didn’t hear no bell
Not even when they called last orders?
I said I didn’t hear no bell

Question two: How do you afford bar drink prices?
Back in my uni days I was on a pretty strong team, we’d win 2-3 quizzes a week, prize money, vouchers and free crates of beer made it pretty affordable.
Where I host trivia you can have a decent time for two hours with $20.
The way ours works is that it’s free for the players and the bar pays the company I work for, so if you drink or not doesn’t matter to me.
The way ours work is we win the quiz and get free drinks. HYPE!
Jokes on you, zombies don’t have to pay taxes or get sent to war.
Funny, my buddy just asked me to go to the bar, and I told him he was about 15m post pajama changeover.

Being young helps. When I was in my twenties, I could do stuff like that (within limits) and still be somewhat functional the next day. These days it’s just not an option.
Stuff like what? Are trivia nights all-night wild parties where you are?
I feel like there’s very likely something I’m missing here.
Maybe not a wild party but definitely an occasion to have quite a few drinks.
How many is “a few” in this context?
Quite a few
I never went to a trivia night and didn’t stay at the bar drinking with my team afterwards. Have closed many a bar that way. To me, trivia night for us out, but the main event was just hanging with friends.
Looking back, we all had drinking problems. Some still do. I know that, if I go to trivia night, I’m having three or four beers, and so that’s not a Tuesday night activity.
Fair enough. To me that’d be a normal night out, rather than a trivia night. The latter being much less involved than the former!
I’m amazed at the shit I used to do. On more than one occasion I went into the city (there’s only one the city in America) and took the 520am train home (narrowed it down for you), just in time for floor hockey at the local JCC at 750am.
I go to trivia that ends at 8
Yeah but you also wear a monocle and ride a unicycle to work.
Most of my trivia nights end at 9. Start at 6:30-7
Skill issue
Just drink until you don’t care! Problem solved.
I feel like 8pm isn’t that late, no? I mean, I don’t drink, but I think most people in my city straight up don’t have dinner until about 8 cuz of work.

Boss would accept the work of hungover me over the work of sober coworkers.
What a terrific question!
Because, like tens of millions of people, I don’t work 9-5 Monday through Friday.
Since this is obvious question night, how did you get so fat?
That’s why you go to a pub that does trivia on a Wednesday instead… /s
But on a serious note, I just drink until I know 'hey, one more drink and I won’t be happy tomorrow. And if I am still over, I just make sure to stop by the 24 hour store for Powerade, red bull, and iced tea (or I guess, your absolute favlure drink to cheer you up.) Of the 5 or so hang over mornings, I’ve only been caught once by reception because I ordered 3+ hash browns for a delivery time of the time I get to work
I’m comfortable enough at my Job I can do most of it hungover.
