The Imbible: Drinking Games for Times You'll Never Remember with Friends You'll Never Forget [Hardcover]

Alex Bash (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 5, 2008

The Imbible is the definitive guide to drinking games by Alex Bash, a recent college graduate, therefore an authority on the subject.

What do you do when you wake up in an unfamiliar neighborhood hand-cuffed to a fire hydrant, clothed in nothing but socks and pink nail polish, your hand clutching a stained legal document…written in French? Celebrate! You just had a great night!  And to think—it all started with The ImBible.

This book contains all the drinking game classics, from Quarters to Kings, to today’s newest, coolest, and most debauched drinking games, including Beer Roulette and The Lord of the Rings drinking game (every time a character draws a sword more slowly and cinematic than is pragmatic to do in the heat of the battle, drink). Containing original illustrations and more boob jokes than is necessary, this will truly be the bible of drinking games.

Review

"The Imbible introduces Bash as a major new talent in the genre of 'books most likely to make you run through campus naked…'" – Officer Hernandez

"A stunning debut by that guy who kept us up 'til 4am with drunken choruses of Wonder Wall..." - The Sorority Next Door

"A moving story about a college freshmen eventually finding his pants from last night." - Overpaid Lobbyist

"No, but really, the book is hilarious.  He's a seriously funny author." – Guy who is taking this way too seriously

"I have not woken up before noon since Alex wrote this book. I'm not sure if this is a good or bad thing." ­ – Alex's roommate

About the Author

In contrast to his nightly belligerence, Alex works at a hospital where he saves lives, which he likes to remind people is no big deal. He can say otolaryngology in three languages and knows more about the Orbitofrontal Cortex than is necessary for someone who is not, technically, a doctor. He enjoys bubblegum toothpaste, strawberry Pop Tarts, and bench press. Visit him at www.AlexBash.com.

More About the Author

Alex Bash works in transplantation. He finds the size of America's transplant recipient waiting list to be heart-wrenchingly long, and has made it his goal in life to do all he can to save the lives of the 18 people who die every day due to not having a life-saving organ.

Alex Bash is also the moderately well-selling author of The Imbible: Drinking Games for Times You'll Never Remember with Friends You'll Never Forget, which he wrote while attending college, working full time and never sleeping. The Imbible is not only the definitive book on drinking games, but is also, as many 3am emails have exclaimed, "Hella funny, bro!"

Alex Bash likes to remind his readers that they can save lives by saving their livers, and asks them to drink in moderation and pop some milk thistle now and then. He also suggests they sign up as organ donors, which they can conveniently do online, here: http://www.donatelife.net/CommitToDonation/

5.0 out of 5 stars The best drinking book ever, October 21, 2008

RHIT_Drinker "Not your average book reader" (Terre Haute, IN, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Imbible: Drinking Games for Times You'll Never Remember with Friends You'll Never Forget (Hardcover)

I really enjoy this book. It's nice that have all of the good drinking games in one book. I own about 4 drinking game books and other games that say "100 Drinking Games", "Best Drinking Games", etc. I have also read and played about 5 more. Out of all of the them, "The Imbible" has the best games including the classics. Every game in the book will start one of those times that you'll never remember with friends you'll never forget.
