Boat races. Quarters. Kings. Beer Hockey. I've played my fair share of drinking games -- many of them in the past week courtesy of a bachelor party featuring a host of ultimate frisbee players a decade my junior.
But I've never Eyeballed vodka -- wherein you pour a shot of vodka (or tip the bottle) directly into your eye socket in an attempt to impress friends and send liquor directly into your bloodstream. After watching a dozen videos on YouTube, the end result appears to be hopping around with a hand to your closed eye making noises choked with pain as your friends laugh at this wondrous feat you've just failed to complete.
I'd never thought I'd reach the point where I was thinking about the simpler times of drinking games -- back when a beer bong was how you got drunk faster and your mouth was for the taking of shots.
The only other face hole I've seen in play before viewing Eyeballing was a brief (and regrettable) evening where lemon slices were snorted following a shot of Tequila. The idea was to appear tougher and theoretically avoid a hangover. The reality was involuntary tears and a lost bar bet.
Although I suppose this planted the seed for liquor being ingested in means other than swallowing, so eyeballing isn't a surprise. Human beings simply appear to be intent upon improving on the childhood danger of putting things where they don't belong.
The main difference between lemon snorting and vodka eyeballing is that we didn't have the capability of uploading that stupid human trick online at the time. If we had, I have no doubt you could find a cache about the dangers of lemon snorting.
Regardless, this isn't Seabiscuit. It's not cool to be blind in one eye.
