Another gem from *The Modern Drunkard*: [The 86 Rules of Boozing](http://www.moderndrunkardmagazine.com/issues/01-02/01%5F02%5Fbooze%5Frules.htm?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). Select excerpts:

> 3\. Whoever buys the shot gets the first chance to offer a toast.

> 10\. Do not make eye contact with the bartender if you do not want a drink.

> 17\. If someone offers to buy you a drink, do not upgrade your liquor preference.

> 22\. Never talk to someone in the restroom unless you're doing the same thing–urinating, waiting in line or washing your hands.

> 28\. If you can't afford to tip, you can't afford to drink in a bar. Go to the liquor store.

> 29\. If you owe someone twenty dollars or less, you may pay them back in beer.

> 35\. Learn to appreciate hangovers. If it was all good times every jackass would be doing it.

> 53\. Never yell out jukebox selections to someone you don't know.

> 55\. If you think you might be slurring a little, then you are slurring a lot. If you think you are slurring a lot, then you are not speaking English.

> 56\. Screaming, “Someone buy me a drink!” has never worked.

> 69\. If there is ever any confusion, the fuller beer is yours.

> 71\. It's acceptable, traditional in fact, to disappear during a night of hard drinking. You will appear mysterious and your friends will understand. If they even notice.

> 74\. If you hesitate more than three seconds after the bartender looks at you, you do not deserve a drink.
