Drinking

The Drinking Horn was held in a somewhat more Theatrical atmosphere than before. The venue was a university hall with seating accommodation for hundreds of alcoholic voyeurists.

A depleted Vic team made a gallant effort and actually reached the final only to meet a polished Otago who drank with a finesse unapproached by any other team. Vic's leader Steve Taylor's cavorting inspired apprentice drinker Ian McMillan to astonishing feats.

In the Individual events Otago asserted their superiority, Taylor being so tired by that stage he was more inclined to giving himself a hop shampoo, much to the delight of the large audience.
