Drinking while bowling, how does it effect your game ?

[got_a_300]

I don't personally drink anymore but I do know a few bowlers
that bowl better after having a few beers.

One guy I know that used to be a PBA member he bowls better
the drunker he gets so the better he bowls. I've seen a few guys
come in wanting to bowl him for money that didn't know about
him bowling better drunk so they kept buying him beers thinking
they would take his money when he got drunk boy did they get
fooled. LOL!!!!!!

When I drink my game goes down hill. I do way better sober.

Last Friday, I had games of 234 and 233. In the 3rd game, I had the first 5 strikes, and the lane broke down. Guy from the counter says that it will take 10 minutes to repair. Since he knows me, he said that he knew I wouldn't want to switch lanes. I agreed - JUST IN CASE. The 10 minutes turned into about 30 minutes. My beer had started to wear off, and the swelling in my hand took over. I continued to get the next 4 strikes. I got up in the 10th, got nervous, and the ball fell off my hand (I was using a portable fan to help with the sweating and swelling). Left the 1-2-8. Spared and struck for a 277 and 744 series. I went home and had a few more beers!

O'Douls is as strong as it gets for me. I stick to water and/or Gatoraid.

I watch Mike Wurme's videos all the time. They seem to have a lot of fun.

Edited to add that this was in response to the video posted above of the drunk guy.

I watched this video last night and found myself watching Mike Wurme videos for over an hour. Those guys are hilarious. If those guys were in my center, they would get more than just some weird looks.

This is not going to be the most "PC" reaction to this video.

First things first, he'd be bleeding from the head butt I'd have given him to the bridge of his nose, if he were in my face like that. It's either that, or he'd be limping because I "accidentally" dropped my bowling ball. I like to have just as much fun bowling as the next guy, but this a**hole was out of line. Scary thing is, it's not on him. If the alley actually allows this behavior, then they should be paying the price by people leaving to go elsewhere. The manager should have one, and only one, conversation with this neanderthal about his behavior. He does it again, he's got a lifetime ban. I know that seems extreme, but think of it this way. If you've got a 5-man league with sixteen teams, that leaves 79 other guys who have to deal with this douche nozzle. Would you rather lose 1 guys business, or 79?

I'm also very upset that this guy is also an NHRA fan. Guys like this give a black eye to whatever sport they back.
