Drinking patterns
The patterns from the all time favorite “Passing and Drinking” Workshop.
- Always try with a closed, plastic bottle, first.
- Leave out clubs or practise parts of the sequence.
- Juggle slowly. More slowly. The more slow you juggle, the more time you get to drink!
- Grab the bottle at the neck. Then transfer it grabbing the bottom. Put a finger under the bottle when you give it to your partner.
- Never drop or throw the bottle.
How to find these patterns? Look for patterns with “magic” clubs (clubs that always keep their sequence, not traveling through the whole pattern). Then, use the siteswap operator to give a magic club a sequence where it does not have to be thrown (no 3, no 5p, no 4) – 1, 2, 1p are the easiest numbers for this club. Try.
RUM BEE
This pattern is the scrambled variation known as “B”. In Britain, it´s also known as the “Honey Bee” and the counting goes “Sun, rain, flowers” instead of “1,2,3”. During the carry you´d call “honey” and the bee follows the carry, buzzing. Well, the little bee got tired of all that “sun, rain and flowers” stuff …
6 Clubs Shamrock
A shamrock variation with one more club than usual. Do I need to say it´s a drinking pattern, as well?
Floyd (extended)
One of our “drinking patterns” filmed the day it was adapted to the bottle by Juli from Ulm and Floyd from Bochum.
