Boat race - meaning
The Boat Race is a rowing race between the Oxford University Boat Club and the Cambridge University Boat Club. It is rowed annually each Spring on the Thames in London. The event is a popular one, not only with the alumni of the universities, but also with rowers in general and the public. An estimated quarter of a million people watch the race live from the banks of the river, and 2004's television audience of more than a half billion viewers makes the race one of the most watched sports events in the world, and almost certainly the most watched amateur sporting event in the world. The first race was in 1829 and it has been held annually since 1856, with the exception of the two world wars.
The boat race this year will be won by Oxford, and millions will watch the televised coverage.

Boat race
A team-based drinking contest. Opposing teams (usu. 5 members each) sit opposite eachother along a table. At the gun, the first member of each team drinks their beverage (usu. beer) as quickly as possible. Upon completion, each player slams his/her mug to the table, signifying that the next teammate can begin their drink, like a relay race. At the end of the table, the last team member (called 'the Anchor') must complete two drinks before play proceeds back through each team (the 'return trip') until the first player of the winning team finishes his/her second drink.
We were doing boat races last night at the Student Union building, but Pete had four shots before we started and he couldn't finish the return trip.
