Power Hour

Spēka stunda(power hour) ir dzerstiņu spēlīte, kur katram dalībniekam veselu stundu ir jādzer alus. Bet ne jau jādzer tāpat, jāizdzer viens “šots”(tobiš 50ml) reizi minūtē. Tātad kopā tiek izdzerts nedaudz virs 3l alus. Kurš iztur – vinnē. Bet tas nav tik viegli kā izklausās…

Lieta tāda, ka ne jau alkohola koncentrācija liedz dzert daudz, bet alus burbuļošanās, un pēc jau kaut kādas 20ās glāzītes vēders ir pilns. Lai pielauztu šo sacensību, jāņem vērā pāris faktori:
1) Nedrīkst sātīgi paēst un sākt spēlēt. Pirmais izlidoja džeks, kurš bija kārtīgi paēdis, un attiecīgi – nevarēja daudz sevī iedabūt iekšā.
2) Tualetes pauzēm ir jābūt īsām, lai paspētu uz nākamo glāzīti, un, lai to darītu bieži.
3) Neieteiktu aizrauties ar uzkožamajiem, kuri parasti ir sātīgi. Ieteiktu mēģināt sagatavot kaut ko vieglu.

* A timekeeper has the very important role of instructing everyone to take a shot each minute. Any timekeeping device may be used. The Shot Caller is a tabletop timer designed for Power Hour.
* Vomiting or abandonment of the goal usually result in elimination. In some cases the re-drinking of vomited liquid is acceptable behavior to stay in the running.[citation needed]
* Players may be allowed bathroom breaks, but must “catch up” before or after taking the break. Another player or person must verify that the player did in fact use the washroom and did not vomit.
* As a tie-breaker, if more than one person reaches the end, places are decided by either continuing the game until all but one player drops out (at one ounce per minute), or by having all remaining players try to drink a pre-designated amount of beer the fastest.
* Some power hours are played with specially programmed CDs, possibly including introductions and smooth fading, or a computer media player that plays songs for only a minute. When the song changes, everybody knows they must take a shot of beer.
* Video power hours are also beginning to become very popular with people. Instead of a CD with music, a DVD is used with various music videos.

Power Hour is a type of drinking game where every player drinks one shot of beer every minute. Each shot contains 45ml, for a total of 2.66 litres of consumption during the power hour. For purposes of blood alcohol content, this amount of beer is equivalent to 7.5 drinks.

All players that successfully complete the total number of shots without retiring are winners. The game is simple and may appear easy, but players often have difficulty completing it. The rate of alcohol consumption necessary to win either form of this game can depend on weight and other factors.

Several alcohol poisoning deaths related to this activity have led to legislation in Minnesota, North Dakota and Texas.
