I remember meeting someone at my first Z1 challenge (last year) who had done the Alphabet drinking game. I believe they said they were very inebriated by the end, and that some stations are rubbish for finding a pub nearby!
Held some Alternative Challenge records for a long time.
Doesn't any more.

That would be me.

I wouldn't say "inebriated", but tired is definately an appropriate word.

Good luck

Before the ban on drinking on the tube we hypothesised a zone 1 drinking challenge, which involved a bottle of vodka and a shot at each zone 1 station.

Until it was pointed out that this might actually lead to liver failure and possible death.
