There aren't many rules but
they are very strict
Alright, you have trained hard and you can whistle the tune, stand on one
foot, and drink the pitcher in less than a minute. What are the rules anyway:
- A Bullmoose will always have a beer in his left hand
- A Bullmoose may drink out of either their right or
their left hand. Some people say that a Bullmoose must only drink out of
their left hand but big drinkers know that there is a fatal flaw with that
logic.
Fatal Flaw: If a Bullmoose is double fisting he may drink out of his right or left hand. I usually drink
out of my right hand because the following scenario. If you are double fisting
and you chug the beer in your left hand you are automatically bullmoosed with
the beer in your right. Since most Bullmooses drink more than the average
person and the goal of the Bullmoose Club is to encourage drinking you really
can't set the rules up so that they discourage double fisting.
I know that there are some purist out there that
may disagree with this rule initially, but I think that once you give it a
chance you will see that this is really the only way to go.
- A Bullmoose must always be on their way to get another
beer when empty. If too much time passes a fellow Bullmoose may call him out
forcing him to refill immediately. The only excuse for not refilling is that
you are going home. You can not just hang out and not drink. Get the hell
out.
- What qualifies as a beer? A beer is only considered a
beer when it is open and accessible.
- Example 1: In a cup or an open can of beer. If you
have an open can of beer in your right hand and unopened can in your left
hand you can and should be called for a Bullmoose.
- Example 2: You may not go fishing for a false moose
with an open beer in your right hand and a closed beer in your pocket. If a
beer is in your pocket it is not accessible and it probably wont be open.
Just to throw a wrench in the works here is another caveat to this rule. An
open beer could be hidden under a jacket and be accessible.
- Electricity counts. If you have a beer in your right
hand but you are touching that beer with one finger in your left hand you are
safe. This is a classic false moose technique and can save you from frostbite
on those cold homecoming mornings. That said, having a beer in your right
hand and touching the keg in your left hand is not safe. Unless you cut the
top off the keg and are drinking directly from it.
- Drinking Partner- This is less of a rule than a
suggestion. A drinking partner is someone that can make you chug anytime they
want and vice-versa. When your drinking partner says that he is ready to chug
you have to be ready too. It is important that you choose a drinking partner
that is well suited for your drinking ability and style. For example: I
wouldn't be a very good drinking partner for a Bass Ale drinker. It would be
tough to chug five Bass Ales in a row. On the other hand Josh Gross will
drink five beers in ten minutes if I say so, and vice-versa. That is just how
we do it in NJ yo yo.
