Rise and Souse
A solid boozing achievement. Its when you wake up and get drunk within 7-9 AM, continuing to complete an entire day, finishing when you would normally go to sleep on a drinking day. This is between the superlative 'Early Bird' and the lesser 'AM attack'.
You: Last weekend was nuts. I decided to attempt a 'Rise and Souse' and my liver still hasnt forgiven me.
Angry Shaman: You pissed on the earth-spirit forty times that day. It is not pleased with you.
