Power Hour, with its variant Centurion (or Century Club), is a drinking event where every player drinks one shot of beer every minute. Each shot contains 1.5 fluid ounces (US) (45ml), for a total of 90 fl. oz. (2.66 litres, 4.68 Imperial pints) of consumption during the power hour. For purposes of blood alcohol content, this amount of beer is equivalent to 7.5 drinks. In the Centurion variant, beer shots are drunk one per minute for 100 minutes, with a shot size of 35ml, totaling 3.5 litres, 6.16 Imperial pints, or 9.9 drinks. All players that successfully complete the total number of shots without retiring are considered winners. The game is simple and may appear easy, but players often have difficulty completing it. The rate of alcohol consumption necessary to win either form of this game can depend on weight and other factors. The rate of alcohol consumption is what makes the players feel intoxicated within such a short period of time.
Some variations of Power Hour include the Atomic Hour, where the player attempts to drink six shots of liquor every ten minutes, and the Atomic Power Hour, where the player drinks a shot of liquor once every tenth minute, while they drink a shot of beer during each of the nine minutes.
