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!

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.
