The 12 pubs of Christmas

The 12 Pubs of Christmas has become somewhat of an Irish tradition. Like eating turkey and pulling crackers, one must also participate in the ’12 pubs’ in order for Christmas to be complete. If you don’t have any idea about what it consists you will find out it soon!

Rules

General rules:

1. Visit 12 pubs in one evening.
2. Have just ONE drink per pub (no more than one).
3. ONLY spend 30 minutes in each pub.
4. Everyone must wear a Christmas jumper.
5. Drink a pint of water every 4 pubs (we don´t want anyone to die on the way).

The most important rule is wearing a Christmas jumper. It has to be the most ridiculous and ugliest. Even you can find a jumper with Christmas lights!!!

Apart from wearing a Christmas jumper, you have to follow these 12 rules:
