"The Ladder" is the offspring of two heralded traditions: competitive drinking and Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics (an ABC cartoon series that ran from 1977-78). Although the activity pits people against each other in various games and tests, there is a distinct feeling that everyone who makes it up the Ladder is a winner. Currently there are five stages in the Ladder. Each stage consists of two tasks: (a) consuming an alcoholic energy drink and (b) performing a task.
A winner is pronounced at the end of each task, and scores are totalled at the end of the night (or probably, the next morning, if records still exist). A partially-sober referee is not mandatory, but encouraged. Below is a list of each stage (after the initial Ladder is completed, the order might be tweaked a bit):
Stage 1: Drink a Sparks (6% alcohol) and participate in chipping/putting contest
Stage 2: Drink a Sparks Plus (7%) and fire a BB gun at targets
Stage 3: Drink a Tilt (8%) and play Trivial Pursuit
Stage 4: Drink a Joose (9%) and shoot free throws
Stage 5: Drink a Four (10%) and successfully buy a girl a drink at a bar
Once again, survival is the ultimate goal. But if you happen to nail 8 out of 10 free throws, that's pretty impressive, too. Please submit your suggestions for stage events to the Camel. This is still a work in progress. The Vibe Max could be considered as a beverage, once it has been certified by the appropriate authorities. But, in that case, you're adding 12% to the ladder. I'm not worried about the danger of high alcohol content. I'm just concerned about the integrity of the game and the maintaining a progressive climb.
