Pubcrawl Rules

New York pub crawls: Because your regular drinking dens are like following the spin-dry cycle

  1. Know your limits and moderation is the key for daily alcohol intake.
  2. Please respect the drinking establishments, patrons and bar staff associated with GPC events. We appreciate your participation and want all our friends to exit the event with a positive experience. It’s ultimately the establishment’s call if you’re cut off or kicked out, so again, know your social and consumption limits.
  3. Arriving late to the Pubcrawl will not get you out of drinking. For every bar you’ve skipped, the organizers have the right to add a pint/cocktail to your drinking regiment for each bar you’ve skipped. *Financial bribes (buy a round), phycial favors (from the sex of your preference), doctors notes and career exceptions can be made in lieu of drinks.
  4. The medically recommended weekly intake of alcoholic drinks is 14 for women and 21 for men. This means it’s perfectly acceptable for women to drink 3/4 of what the men consume during the week. However, drinking “halves” all day does not constitute an equal completion of the Pubcrawl unless “doubling-up” occurs in half the pubs. A minimum requirement to complete the crawl is one drink per bar (per hour) and if you minimize your weekly intake, while only indulge in a single beverage per bar, our pubcrawl activities can be accomplished in a healthy manor – you’re not even legally drunk after that! We suggested you take these limits into account per week, by not imbibing during the week, and saving your alcohol intake for the day of the crawl.
  5. Shots are explicitly frowned upon throughout the crawl. Yes this is a celebration but quick boosts to your alcohol levels will only result in quick departures to the toilet or exiting the event all together.
  6. GPC reserves the right to sanction alcohol intake in the interests of health and hygiene.
  7. Entry into the Pubcrawl is at your own risk.
  8. Exit from the Pubcrawl is at your peril.
  9. Those who may be of a sensitive or of nervous disposition are not permitted to complain, vomit or cry if any of the more lewd imbibers choose to reveal personal, graffic or intimate details of their life or anatomy.
  10. Do not harass or clown pubcrawlers more intoxicated than you are, as they are at liberty to blame their behavior on the beer.
  11. GPC can not condone any blackmail activities that take place as a direct result of images being caught on film during a Gotham Pubcrawl.
  12. Participation of any GPC event shall be considered to equate to consent being granted for personal images captured to be uploaded and displayed on the World Wide Web. This ruling is retroactive.
  13. Anybody caught drinking a non-alcoholic beverage without an authentic doctor’s note or excuse deemed valid by the group will from then on be supervised by a more responsible GPCer.
  14. To date, limited sexual activity between patrons and crawlers has been reported during a Pubcrawl. Feel free to encourage and change this, we do have a reputation to keep up after all.
  15. Sexual relations with anybody else’s girl/boyfriend is socially prohibited and may cause unnecessary friction within the group, however, shameless flirting is encouraged.
  16. Complaining about who you end up sleeping with as a result of the Pubcrawl is strictly prohibited. You had plenty of time to see them while you were sober. “I was drunk” is never an excuse for any behavior.
  17. Discrediting any GPC group members, patrons and future GPC events because of personal relationship issues with other attendees, is strictly prohibited. Grown men and women work out their own relationship issues, maturely with their prospective date/partner/hook ups; we are not in high school anymore kids.
  18. You may not, under any circumstances, use an empty beer glass because you can’t be bothered to go to the toilet. Some poor sod might end up drinking that, mistaking it for Hefeweizen. Side Note: It is the brewers fault if the beer tastes like piss and we encourage ridicule.
  19. If you need to vomit, you may do so on the conditions that nobody else sees, and you replace the lost alcohol forthwith.
  20. The Gotham Pubcrawl cannot be held responsible for loss of memory/possessions/limbs/virginity/life et all…
  21. Sleeping in the Pub shall be punishable by severe mockery. This shall be diminished however if you have already finished your beer.
  22. DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE – get a taxi, take the subway, walk or have a sober friend take you home at the end of the night
  23. All GPC rules are retroactive.
  24. The reading of this constitutes acceptance of all rules noted above.
  25. Most of all have fun!
