A girl in my German class spent a year there on an exchange. She said she kept a lot of water around to drink it all very quickly after a night of drinking. Apparently, it helps drop her score on some kind of meter that was used to judge her intoxication level. Sounds a little fishy, but there's your anecdote from me, I suppose.

Lucky for you, though, the strongbeer-season is approaching. I have no other suggestions, though, besides that visting Bamberg for the smokebeer is a good idea. Oh, and everything in moderation...even moderation.

Time for another update!

I went to my first big party on Saturday, it was quite fun, but the drunks were very very obnoxious. There were 15 or 16 of us and tons of booze, luckily most of us knew how to drink without getting drunk, and the other three or four were a pain, but what are you going to do. My host brother was the drunkest, and the most annoying, but fortunately I didn't have to clean it up when he puked in the kitchen (habe ein kotze in die kuche??? How do you say that in German?). We stayed up until about 4:30 in the morning.

Unfortunately my host brother didn't act nearly as hungover as I had hoped, but other than a bit of a misunderstanding due to my rather sparse knowledge of German Sunday went quite well.

I also ate smoked Aal (Eel in English) today, which was very tasty, and not much else new of any importance has happened, but I think the party contained enough firsts for the week.

Ooops I almost forgot, we also had the police called on us. At about 9, or 9:30 we went outside to have some fresh air because the room we were in was very hot, unfortunately several people were either already fairly drunk, or were egging the drunks on so one of the neighbors soon surreptitiously took a picture of the group, yelled at us and called the Polizei. Luckily they seemed to be quite annoyed, but not pissed so no charges were laid against us and we just had to keep it inside and down for the rest of the evening. I'd have been really annoyed if they had fined, or arrested, or whatever the whole group because I barely said a word when we went outside, again due to my horrible German.
