Dooder 1: Hay bro why you drinkin that nasty ass Icehouse?

Dooder 2: Just pregaming brah.

In America college parties start when parties in my country end. When I was back home, dance parties started around 6pm and included free food (caviar finger sandwiches, chicken balls, eggplant salad, exotic fruit, etc.), free drinks and a genuine party atmosphere that lasted until the early hours of the morning when everyone was exhausted because of dancing all night long. In America, if it’s 11pm, it’s too early to go to a party and if you get there by midnight, you are kind of lame. And in the early hours of the morning, no one remembers what happened last night.

The US student body knows the meaning of pre-gaming. Pre-gaming is the act of getting fucked up with all your friends before going out. Everyone does it. My best friend cannot get out of the house at night before a party if she has not had at least 2 shot glasses of vodka or tequila. She says she doesn’t have fun at the party otherwise. My suspicion is that the guys at those parties are so ugly, that she must have ingested some alcohol beforehand to even consider having any kind of fun. I mean, it’s impossible even for a very horny awake girl to let that American bro at the party slap her butt and enjoy it, if he looks the way the majority of American brothers often look like at parties – unshaved, unshowered, greasy, etc. Been there, done that, so I’m talking from the heart.

My desire to blend in with the American culture leads me to conclude the following:

Advantages of pre-gaming:

1. Pictures look better at the pregame than at the game itself. You don’t have saliva all over your face at the pregame yet since you’ve just started.
2. It gives a lousy shy person a reason to forget his insecurities and start talking to that hot chick.
3. It makes you avoid looking like an outsider by not being completely shitfaced the entire time at the bar or at the party.

Disadvantages of pre-gaming:

1. You miss all the fun at the „game” because you can’t even make it there since you’re too drunk.
2. You must put that condom on hours ahead because you know you won’t be able to do it at the „game”.
3. You don’t know if that puke on your shirt comes from you or from somebody else.

Do you pregame in your country? Why or why not?
