What exactly transpired in the Sokka vs Toph drinking contest has never been made clear to the rest of us, though we do know the result is that both characters have been banned from ever visiting the Northern Water Tribe ever again. The Northern Water Tribe would also become the most vocal party during the Four Nation Peace summit calling for a worldwide ban on drinking and bending. This, again, makes very little sense to us seeing as what we do know are as follows: Sokka is not a bender, and Toph cannot bend at the North Pole due to the lack of her element.

After the Northern Water Tribe Incident [which will from now on always be known as the NWT Incident, with Incident being capitalized and whenever possible, either or both italicized and bolded as well], Waterbending Master Pakku of the Northern Tribe stepped in and persuaded Toph to go seek challengers in the Fire Nation, citing the numerous legends of the alcohol capacities of firebenders to mean that she would find a good contender there. When he himself was challenged, Pakku insisted that he was allergic to alcohol and there is no way for her to tell if he is lying or not since he's still standing on ice.

King Kuei, after hearing of the NWT Incident and the events of Kyoshi [which, to this day, residents of Kyoshi and historians vacillate between naming the events either "Kyoshi Incident" (mimicking the NWT incident) or "Chaos of Kyoshi" or "Khaos of Kyoshi" (which always prompts a debate on the necessity or ridiculousness of alliteration), but for the purposes of this story I shall refer to as the Events of Kyoshi, or EoK for short], patched a small team of earthbenders to speak to the Blind Bandit Toph Beifong. Likely, due to the fact that the Earth Kingdom is filled with Earthbenders and that most buildings and cities, including the Earth King's Palace and the city of Ba Sing Se were all created using earthbending, it was in the interest of the Earth Kingdom to get Toph and her [insert Earth god's name]-damned contests out of the Earth Kingdom.

Amongst the dispatched earthbenders was the famous earthbender and a lesser companion of the Avatar Aang, the famous Haru [insert surnname since I don't remember it]. Toph, recalling that Haru also served as a bodyguard to the Fire Lord Zuko, thus persuaded [again, let it be known that the act of persuasion by Toph unto Haru in this incident always be italicized] the bender Haru into arranging a drinking contest between the earthbender Toph and the Fire Lord Zuko.
