Boat race (game)

As a boy beer ( beer scandal, beer duel Biermensur or Trinkmensur ) is defined as a student of the competitive drinking of beer, as it is today maintained even in fraternities custom. The beer boy was born as a parody of the student scale length and is taken only very rarely serious.

Historical

Today, it can no longer tell when students have started to drink beer to the bet. The term " beer boy " was created in the first half of the 19th century, when the Corps in their senior Conventen (SC) in writing have defined in SC Comments owned by the rules of student coexistence. Here also all questions of satisfaction and the student duel were regulated. Even the severity of insults was established exactly and how they had to respond to them, as a rule, of course, sword in hand. As lightest insult was in most cases the expression "You are a silly boy! "

When was the belief in the course of time that a student must have at least once defended in any case his honor with sword in hand, even if he was not involved in disputes, a standard offense made ​​out, no more than an attack on the honor was considered, but only as an invitation to fencing. This standard insult was the " stupid boy ".

At the beer table soon the rules and formalisms of Comments were parodied. From the SC -comment the beer -comment was from the " court of honor " the "Beer Justice," held in the " SC- discredited " or " boycott " one came in the " Bierverschiss " from the bore was the " Biermensur " the " stupid boy " became the " beer boys ".

Over time, other corporations adopted the custom as a parody of the conventions of the corps students. These maintain the Biermensur usually still significantly unernster.

Gustav Schwab then known " Storm Song " was rewritten by Kurt Luch. In the second stanza of the " Syphon " states:

Fox body speaks: Tomorrow is Frühschoppentag, How i like da drink again, How do I want to spin and drink residue, The beer boy drinking is me a hard - The beer boy, I 'm hold - Do you hear how the siphon rumbles?

Such individual songs were interrupted by so-called strolling songs that sang the Senior:

Our old home, our old home If a Schißmalheur happens.

Or:

Boozing is the best of all Already gewest the time of Christ.

It was known Konigsberg beer routine, the Albertina Saufcomment in boys custom of 1824.

Friedrich Nietzsche, fraternity members in Bonn, detested the " beer materialism " of his fellow students.

Execution

The importance of beer boys differs for the different connection types. Corp. students maintain unlike other fraternities a simplified practice, which now continues to spread. It was also not possible for older frat that a fox a guy on his own anträgt a beer boy. Under corps students mannered practices are considered " buxig ". Rather, they maintain the beer boys in a simple form.

Ritual discharge

If a student connection with the word " beer guy " is required for such a, he replies with the word " attached" to indicate that he accepts. Especially Swiss student organizations do not have the drinking compulsion. The maximum time for doing the Bierjungens is five minutes of beer. The beer boy will be played in different variations, such as - depending on the choice - in the presence or absence of a referee or beer Court. This decision-making body may define other victory conditions, for example, "five friendly words to the counterparty after weaning. " Sometimes a couplet is also required before drinking. Often seconds Danten be consulted. The winner is the first completely empties his vessel and has settled vertically. With limited choices, the amount of the spilled beer and the remains will be evaluated in the beer glass. If there is still no decision possible, another beer boy for decision can be determined.

" The stupidest glue, on the one crawls, beer is a betrunk'nes court. "

Simplified version

With " Kieler Comment" drinking a beer boy is called, is omitted in the a referee, secondary Danten and other ritual execution. The sound of the glass when pushed applies here as a start signal. In this form of beer boy its ritual character is stripped. In this simplified variant follows the slopes of a beer boy often called replica " depends double ", " suspended four times ," etc. The number of beers should always be doubled, a " depends triple " is regarded as " buxig ". In this simplified version of the glasses hold 0.2 or 0.3 liters. However, it is also larger glasses are used, up to the carafe ( a 1.8 l - Luminarc - octagon ). In addition to beer boys, there are also wine lout, sparkling girl and all sorts of other -lümmel/-mädel that depend on personal preference. It is not mandatory that something to drink is used for the contest. Basically, all food and beverages used in the betting disputes dubs except beer with the extension " lout ".

Rush

As noted in the Comment Kiel, a simple beer boy instead of the answer is " depends " adopted by the reply " depends double " (for some compounds " Pabst " ) be rushed. The Prior, who has been wearing the beer boys, can now again "hangs four times " with a rush.

Courier

For more or less special occasions drinking members of fraternities and sororities, but also of so-called student connections relay races. A relay (also called " beer relay race " period) is the team's version of the beer boys.

In a relay to provide two (possibly equal strength ) groups over to drink and in turn their beer "on ex ', ie in a train from. Once the glass of straight drinker touches the table, the next the relay picks up his glass in his hand and drinking it. The last " member " of a relay calls after weaning "with". If both groups are equally fast (a fast- ital "simultaneously" ), the relay should be repeated.

Before a courier is usually "counted ", that is, each one initially the left side (viewed from the dish of beer, if present, else no matter ) through in ascending order, the last one adds a " by " on.

There have been many subspecies of the relay developed, such as the double relay, where each participant has two lenses or " Proper " in front of him, which he empties one by one.

A development of the telecommunications age is the telephone relay that has emerged in the early 1970s. Here drink two groups in various cities against each other, the announcement " by" is transmitted by telephone. Spontaneous checks the output doubted ad hoc join often. In this way maintain some friendly compounds their relationships.

Similarly, an innovation of the Internet age is the so-called video relay race, in which a Messenger (for B.Skype ) review the output is possible. In 2014 spread on Facebook the technology based on the custom of drinking game " beer nomination" from.
