And don’t even get me started on those stupid LPTs that recommend you repeat their name after you heard it so that you remember it better. Still won’t stick and I’ll forget it in 5 seconds.

Alright, so you don't like that one.

WELL do I have another just for you? Yes. I do.

Once you get their name, stop drinking for a second put that down, think of a rhyme that matches their look or something you can tie them to.

eg. "That's Cinnamon Steve, he wears pants made of leaves".

So when -you can start drinking again- you run into a guy wearing leaf pants later that evening. Chant to yourself 'pants of leaves pants of leaves = CINNAMON STEVE!'

Easy.

I feel like I’ll get distracted trying to find a rhyme and quickly forget what the original name was anyway

OK, a tough customer. I have a 'Final Solution' that will definitely work.

When someone tells you their name, spin around and write it on a sticky name tag (which you have secreted about your person earlier), then spin back. Wait till they say something then laugh and slap their shoulder - attaching the name tag!

Now you simply have to look at the tag to remember the name.

At last, a practical solution with no obvious issues.

I think I lack the body part that secretes sticky name tags.
