Martha chugs faster than Isaac and places her cup upside down on the table before he finishes drinking. She flips the cup upright on her first attempt, and Reagan starts her part of the game. Isaac takes three flips before his cup lands upright. The men are behind by two women by the time Isaac completes his first part of the task. The women win, easily.
After the many beers the men have consumed, rum will not sit well. I learned in Jr. High, “Beer before liquor never sicker, liquor before beer in the clear.” I love the pain this game will inflict on Isaac most of all.
