Back in my long-ago drinking days we used the following rhyme:

Starkle, starkle, little twink.
Who the hell you are, I think?
I am not under the alkifluence of inkihol
As some thinkle seem to peep I am!

If you could recite this, you could have another drink. Inability to get through the dreaded "Starkle, Starkle" meant that you were cut off.

Vicious, CJ!

I'd never ever manage to get drunk under those rules.

Anybody remember an old movie name of Our Man in Havana ?

There was a checkers game between the vacuum cleaner salesman about to be deported as a spy (Alec Guinness) and the Jefe de Havana Police (Ernie Kovacs) with the pieces being miniatures of light or dark rum. When you jumped a piece you had to drink it.

The relative skills of the players very quickly ceased to be of significance...

It's one of a small number of movies better than their progenitor books.
