Sharp stuff + booze = a bad time
Fortunately, there are a bunch of safe(ish) activities that can be done while having a few drinks. Axe throwing is the most fun when your mind is as sharp as your axe.
Why You Should NOT Throw an Axe While Drunk
I mean, this should be pretty obvious, but here we go anyway. Throwing an axe while drunk is extremely dangerous for several reasons:
Alcohol affects your ability to think clearly and coordinate your movements, increasing the likelihood of "axe-idents."
Alcohol impairs your motor skills, making it difficult to control the axe's trajectory, increasing the risk of injury to yourself and your friends.
Alcohol slows down your reaction time, making it harder to react quickly if something goes wrong during the axe throw.
Axe throwing requires precision and control. Being drunk increases the risk of missing the target and hitting unintended objects or people, causing serious injury or even death. Mastering precision and control is one of the things that make axe throwing fun. So, don't ruin that.
Not only should you not throw axes while drunk, do not do anything with sharp instruments while drunk.
