Okay, this may be the most important post of our 3 years. After countless exams, papers, and general law school bullshit, I have put my analytical skills to good use and developed a plan of action to make it to graduation. It is no surprise that graduates drink. It is no surprise that law students drink. Therefore there is no greater compelling interest than the drinking we are embarking on for the next 12 or so days.
Be Consistent. The key is to drink consistently. Focus on maintaining the buzz. You want to find the "nice" level and stay there. Don't try to max out right away, pace yourself and envision these 12 days as one long night that won't exactly be able to account for.
Gatorade. This will be a key recovery drink for the periods (albeit brief periods) where you actually want to drink something other than liquor. I recommend keeping some gatorade with you at all times.
Shot glasses. Flasks. Keep them in the car. Or in your purse/pocket. Wherever. They come in quite handy on the go.
Eat. Do remember to eat frequently and a lot. During periods of prolonged drinking make sure you don't miss meals. Of course this means you gotta keep drinking to maintain your "nice" level.
Drink. Drink. Drink. Don't go for too many hours without some sort of alcoholic beverage. Feeling hungover...have a mimosa. Have a champagne headache...drink a beer. That is how you do it. You keep it going, not by drinking a lot but by drinking often.
Be responsible. Don't end up in a roadside ditch. Take a cab. Have a seat. Pack a ho bag. Do what ya gotta do to get thru. Don't try to keep up if you can't keep up. This isn't undergrad we've had 3 years to perfect these skills. Let's fucking go!
