Beeblebrox's gambit

A tactical manuver, used while getting hammered, that involves sending down more drinks to report on or asses the progress of previous ones. Popularized by Zaphod Beeblebrox

"Hey, maybe I gotta send down a couple more drinks. You know, to see what the first few are doing."

"Dude, beeblebrox's gambit only makes sense when you're ALREADY hammered. I think you've had enough"

beebelbrox's gambit 

Any drink taken, while drunk, in an attempt to sober up. Different from hair of the dog in that a gambit is always consumned while still drunk, usually in a fit of drunk logic. Named after the character Zaphoid Beebelbrox of "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy."

Guy 1: Maybe I should have another drink. Send one down to see what the other five are doing

Guy 2: Bad idea man, Beebelbrox's gambit never works.
