That's 17x the fun and massive good time. Just take some Milk Thistle and/or some Chaser from Walgreens and/or some of the other drinks that help prevent hangover and you'd be fine. Both Chaser and the drinks for hangover prevention work wonders and prevent any added pain the next day, only being tired. Milk Thistle helps protect the liver and helps filter out the toxins in alcohol. Thus, allowing you to have a ridiculous time and not worry about the after effects.

Boy, those are some big beer mugs.
A couple of those and I'd be under the table.....

I remember a school excursion to cloister brewery Andechs (that's in Bavaria also), and they had these large beer mugs (they're 1 liter) and huge soft pretzels (the size of an arm!). One mug of beer and I was fully drunk. Those were fun times, everyone was drunk, even the bus driver. That was in the 1980ies, when minors were allowed to drink beer and the alcohol limit for drunk driving was pretty high. We had more fun then.
