Agreed! 

In a pub in England, to get pissed means to get drunk. Right, Rob?   :-)

In that case, it would be a drinking contest. Much better imagery!

So does anyone wonder where the phrase came from anyhow?  Were there such

Enuff already guys.

There's no shortage of egos on this list, but let's keep it so we can all
