    12:30 if the police like to use spelling the alphabet backwards as a sobriety test, at a party you might test how many shots it takes for you to mess up spelling it backwards. Whoever lasts the longest wins. Though, I guess you are being “punished” by winning so maybe you might do something like whoever messes up saying the alphabet backwards first has to take a shot. It doesn’t all have to be about drinking but obvs. having drinking involved could make these alphabet games more interesting
