Amid much shouting and laughing, everyone begins drinking heavily for the first hour once the casks are broached. The strong wine, ale and mead soon begin to have their affect and the noise level if anything increases as people bellow raucous songs and dirty jokes at each other.
The slightest of build and youngest in years are the first to flag unsurprisingly as they are egged on by the older men, plainly not at all fooled by their bravado and bluster. "Reginald" in particular drinks to keep up with Lord Coldiron next to him, not noticing in his drunken state, when he tops up his flagon surreptiously.
Soon enough, the young lad is overcome by the heady wine and passes out, snoring softly.
Lancel and Adrian Blackmont swap tall tales as they drink quickly. Too quickly as it turns out. Mistaking the marathon for a sprint, they drink several pints in quick succession, loudly exclaiming at the slower pace of the adults around them in mocking tones. However, as the hour progresses they slow and eventually stop drinking as they turn queasy and nauseous. In the end it is the sight of Adrian vomiting on the floor which sets off Lancel who flees the room for the privy and doesn't come close to making it. They are both disqualified and are escorted away from the competition area, looking very ill indeed.

Lancel dimly registered another man dragging him back to where the squires' quarters had been established, but all the boy was aware of were the sixteen aurochs that were trampling around in his head.

With the children safely abed, the hardened drinkers carry on through the second hour with little difficulty. Another cask is broached as the first runs dry to great cheers around the room. The first adult casualty of the night, somewhat surprisingly, is the reachman Ser Gilbert Flowers. He unwisely switches drinks from Arbor wine to the ale & mead preferred by the ironborn & northmen. This strong, acrid brew is unfamiliar to him however and, after only a few tankards, he is sick and disqualifies himself from the competition. Though drunk, he is able to leave the area under his own power, looking slightly queasy and disgusted with himself for being unable to continue.
The rest carry on with the host, Graham Blackwood, and the Lord of Bear Island seeming to be the most able. Some mutterings about Lord Coldiron pouring most of his early drinks into the glass of Reginald Littlebottom just cause him to laugh loudly.

The night goes on as the drinkers consume more and more wine, ale and mead. The hour passes uneventfully apart from one moment where Hardon Kenning makes a disparaging remark about the time he had Buckwell's mother in the stables. He gets no further before Jarmen launches himself across the tables at him, spilling drinks everywhere. The two are seperated and led away from the competition with Hardon protesting loudly (and slurring his words) that mainlanders can't take a good jest. Jarmen, also the worse for wear, struggles against the man escorting him away before staggering away into the night.

After the brawl in the last hour, most have to refill their glasses for the fourth. Things are starting to take their toll on most by now with all participants beginning to slow their drinking and sway a little as the alcohol takes hold. The host, Graham Blackwood succumbs to one Arbor red too many as he quietly falls asleep in the corner, a contented smile on his face as he cradles his half-full mug in his lap. Several others look sleepy as well as yawns and bleary eyes become the order of the day. The noise level is probably at it's lowest of the evening with only a few, Bane Karstark and Erik Coldiron amongst them, still jesting and bragging to each other

The fifth hour comes to a close as the piles and piles of empty glasses and tankards stack up in front of the remaining contestants. The dwindling amount of casks left cause some of the onlookers to wonder if the beer will run out before the drinkers do!
Karon Barclay finally announces in a slow, drunken voice that he is unable to continue and tries to stand to leave the table and topples to one side as he does so. He is lifted from the floor with the help of the barmen and helped gently from the chamber.
Shortly after that, Quorrion Blackmont is found face down on the table snoring and mumbling words no-one can make out and is carried from the room

Deep into the six hour, there are only 4 left to claim the prize. Both Bane and Erik sit together as they have all night and swap stories and tales as they drink and drink.
Further down the table Danwell finishes his ale and carefully places the glass on the table, blinks twice and then topples forward head first, like a tree falling in the forest. The barmen come forward to carry him away and, seeing his comatose state, call for a maester to come and purge his stomach as they cart him off.
In a less melodramatic fashion, "Amos Landlubber" passes out and snores very loudly at the far end of the table.

The Final
Graham Blackwood
Gilbert Flowers
Bane Karstark 23
Erik Coldiron -31
Danwell Farring
Jarmen Buckwell
Karlon Barclay
"Reginald Lilybottoms"
Hardon Kenning
“Amos Landlubber”
Quorrian Blackmont
Adrian Blackmont
Lancel
With only two contenders remaining, the barmen bring out the legendary green ale of Qarth. Seven small shots are prepared for each man. The one who drinks them all before the other will be victorious.
ooc: This is just -60 modifier due to the round. Highest score wins.
The two begin at a given signal - Erik manages to get through two before spitting out the third (it is revolting stuff). Bane Karstark either does not notice or does not care that the green liquid is vile and possibly poisonous. He drinks all seven, burps loudly and grins drunkenly when he realises he has won.
