    House of Pirates recently launched a new weekly event called Any Given Saturday with the catchphrase: “it’s time to get legless and leave a legacy!”

    House of Pirates recently launched a new weekly event called Any Given Saturday with the catchphrase: “it’s time to get legless and leave a legacy!”

    Various digs from around Grahamstown were approached by the Pirates management and invited to enter their five-man (or women) team to participate in a drinking competition that they had organised for the first evening of Saturday,6 February.

    The competition is also open to any team of five that arrives. These competitions consist of the traditional
    boat-race where teams consecutively down one drink each trying to, as a team, finish all their drinks as fast as possible.

    There were two such competitions, one downs as many 340ml fruit coolers as possible and the other for 500ml of draught beer.

    Pirates managers acted as referees and timekeepers to ensure that no cheating occurred.

    Pirates have put up record boards in the bar to keep track of which teams currently hold the records for the fastest times and last Saturday’s times have recently been posted on Facebook with the fastest time for the fruit cooler being 14.82 seconds and the fastest for draught beer being 26.51 seconds.
