Long Beach's newest club Shore Ultra Lounge hopes you'll come out
tonight to help break a world record and raise money that will help put
breathalyzers in Southern California bars.
Nicholas Grond, president and CEO of the nonprofit organization Don't Die Drunk, expects about 1,500 people at Shore Ultra at 10:30 tonight to take shots of "Sex on the Beach" at the same time --- all in an effort to break the Guinness World Record for largest group to simultaneously take a shot. (The record is currently held by 1,300 people in Germany, who all took a shot of corn schnapps.)
Shots of "Sex on the Beach" - which usually includes a mix of peach Schnapps, vodka and cranberry juice - were chosen for universal appeal, Grond said.
Cover charge is $10 --- most of which will go the nonprofit to buy FDA-approved breathalyzers to put in bars. (The shots are donated by the Sparkles Angels Girls.)
Grond said he's pretty confident that the world record will be broken tonight, especially after appearing on KROC's Kevin and Bean yesterday morning to promote the event.
"I've been planning this for a long time," he said. "We got about 3,000 or 4,000 people hit us up between the time I did the (morning) interview and noon yesterday."
Doors open at 8 p.m. but Grond says to get there before 9:30 p.m. because doors will close once the lounge hits capacity. The big event starts promptly at 10:30 p.m.
