It's like when I had a birthday party with a friend and the server said, "I don't know if your friends love you or hate you, but here are another 3 shots just for you."
I don't know some of that guy's friends, but he was completely done by the end of the night after something like 22-26 shots in 2-3 hours. That's with but not factoring his wife secretly taking some of his shots and me/her ordering a tray of multiple shot glasses of water/flat ginger ale to kinda get the others to back off. Dude had no idea, he was so gone. His wife chewed him out the next day saying he must have bragged about his tolerance because everyone was trying to take him down except for me and his wife. I'm not even going to go into the concept of sending shots to someone and not partaking yourself, because I grew up being told that's a party foul...
But you also bring up something I had sorta noticed for a while but not completely identified. Are people actually celebrating birthdays? Or is it just a free for all for covertly mocking the person celebrating a birthday?
