How to drink from a horn


The massive order of party supplies didn't arrive yesterday, I'm not entirely sure why but this means instead of the flat being lavished in booze and exciting cakes for the guests we are only going to have rum and flour.

Oh and we only have 6 cups and one drinking horn, so if more than 7 people want to drink at the same time its going to be from cupped hands. Still the person drinking neat rum (we have no mixers) from a drinking horn is going to feel pretty macho. The horn holds a pint and a half, and requires a special technique to drink from it successfully.

Asethetically one is always tempted to drink from the horn with the tip raised which is fine initally but in the latter stages of your drinking experiences a bubble of air will charge towards the tip resulting in a tidal wave of booze rushing towards your face. This is an acceptable side effect when quaffing ale in a tavern after defeating some goblins or Cardinal Rishlou's guards, not when drinking neat rum which makes your eyes feel warm across the room let alone if it has been liberally splashed into your retinas.

Remember kids, always drink with the point down.

I wonder if I can make a rum and flour based party snack.
