Further to Anne's remarks as I was told before my first trip:-
If you see a chair - sit on it
If you see a bed - lie on it and try to sleep
If you see a toilet - use it
If you see food - eat it
If you see alcohol - drink it
I think that just about covers it!!!!!!!

As the Cologne Virgin last year, i will offer some advice......
When sliding down the huge banister, do NOT grip with your thighs.  Ok, so you wont look so cool gracefully sliding down under a bit of control, but you wont have the bruises either.......I remember those!

But I won't make it to the bottom, and I'll make a mess, then you'll miss valuable beer drinking time trying to clean me up.  So best all round me thinks!!!

"Do you find it awkward doing a four hour parade with only a two hour bladder capacity? Hate having to fight your way through the crowd of spectators, find a loo, then running to catch up with the band again? Never fear, with some plastic tubing and some bodge tape all that is a thing of the past. Just tape one end of the tube over your genitals, ensuring the flow will be unobstructed (you may need the assistance of a good friend here). Remember male and female parts vary considerably and you will need to use plenty of tape to ensure a water-tight seal. Run the tube down the leg of your trousers, allowing the other end to poke out beside the heel of your boot (you may wish to paint it gloss black in order to be less noticeable). Now when you are taken short you can just stand nonchalantly over a drain cover by the side of the road and relieve yourself with no-one around suspecting a thing! If someone does get suspicious just divert their attention by pointing and exclaiming "Gosh, look at that over there!"

Remember you will need to shout this in German so the spectators can understand you. Therefore you will have to drink copious amounts of Kölsch translation fluid beforehand. Perhaps there is a slight snag with this plan!
Also it will probably be cold, therefore expect a cloud of steam to start rising around your feet!
