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"
