Beer Travels

Also to be fair, I've been to the Munich Oktoberfest 5 times, the Munich Frühlingsfest, and the Canstatter Volkfest and have seen this sort of behavior on fewer occasions than I've seen genuine fun and revelry. The percentage of lunacy is still lower than the percentage of common sense -- it's just that lunacy gets better press coverage.

Based on his blog post, I think our Australian friend may need to learn some self-restraint. Then again, I have to wonder how he can actually remember his antics if he was really that far gone.

 

Sorry, OP, Clint, I'm guessing. I was doing my Stahlsturm impression, or at least channeling him. He's not been around to fulfil his curmudgeon role, so I felt obligated. I read the rest of your blog regarding your trip through Germany and your beer adventure, and they all seemed more thoughtful and interested in the quality rather than quantity of beer. It seems München got the better of you. Your posts also are quite witty, and remind me why staying in hostels is actually the least enjoyable way to travel, and why we pay the big bucks to stay in hotels: privacy, peace and quiet. Nonetheless, your boozy confessions on your travails in München remind me why I doubt I'll ever,ever set foot in even the beer related places in that city during that two period. I've gotten quite drunk at a few beer related festivals, but never done any of the above mentioned antics you perpetrated, so I can understand your giving in to the revelry at the Oktoberfest.
