Drinking Game

It is hard to find an activity less healthy than sitting on a bar stool, drinking heavily in a smoke-filled environment. Today, the Ninth-Annual Miller Lite Barstool Open allows participants to exercise while they chug. The activity is a sport requiring the bare minimum in physical exertion: miniature golf. Stagger through a 27-hole tournament that begins at 10 a.m. and spans various bars. And on Sunday morning, navigate the obstacles of guilt, remorse and shame. Proceeds from the event benefit United Cerebral Palsy of Greater Kansas City, which means binge drinkers can argue that their overconsumption is "for charity." Golfers should remember that the ingestion of Jägermeister shots is in no way performance-enhancing, particularly if one has to drive at any point during the day. To play, scrounge together three teammates and $170. Call 816-531-4454 for details. Ninth Annual Miller Lite Barstool Open
