How much drink can you handle? - Page 2

Solly · July 15, 2002, 05:54

The most I've had in a day is approaching 20 pints-worth (I say "worth" as I was drinking all sorts). Never again!

Now, around 8 doubles can see me having a great night, 10 will see me going to bed a little earlier than I hoped, and 12 will have me chundering.

When I was young gun I always took a slab of beer and a bottle of Bundy to parties but Now I am older and wiser I take a dozen beers and a dozen cans of bundy and coke.

I used to be able (5 years ago) to drink quite a lot without severe changes in my condition (about 10 pints of beer was a piece of cake). I had the necessary experience.

But since I've decreaced my drinking, and nowadays I feel very drunk after some 5 pints.

My best cure for hangover is: drink water as much as you can before going to bed. Hangover is caused by dehydration (alcohol binds free water in your body).

I once drank 1.5 lters of vodka. I will never do that again.

I often wake up and say never again but then again

Never say never

No, they can kill a person once (assuming 40% alcohol content and ~70 kilos body weight). They also have to be drunk in a very short timespan...

Bereta_Eder · July 15, 2002, 07:58

i cant get drunk on vodka but noone believes me. but it's true.

i can get drunk easily with beer (which I dont like) and with anything else.

aaglo · July 15, 2002, 08:04

paiktis22: you liar

Bereta_Eder · July 15, 2002, 08:05

see?

aaglo · July 15, 2002, 08:45

Okay...
I'm not hurt if someone shoots me with a cannon. But I'll be next to dead, when someone sticks a needle in my arse...

Bereta_Eder · July 15, 2002, 08:46

I know this *must* have a meaning where you come from...?

aaglo · July 15, 2002, 08:48

No.
It's just as stupid claim as yours "I won't get drunk from vodka"

Bereta_Eder · July 15, 2002, 08:50

Yet it is true.

But with the liberty that democracy, which we invented, provides, you are absolutely free not to believe it.

aaglo · July 15, 2002, 08:52

Thank goodness... and praise greek democracy

Bereta_Eder · July 15, 2002, 08:54

Ok, it's not that I will not get drunk at ALL, but I can drink like half a bottle of vodka and I will be ok, just a tiny bit dizzy.

I think this qualifies as "not drunk".

If I drink 4 glasses of scotch or ouzo I'll be drunk.

True!

aaglo · July 15, 2002, 08:57

Heehee .
I'm still not impressed.

People have died drinking less than that, some people can drink more.

What?

Some of you guys drink vodka without beer?

"Vodka bez piva- dengi na veter". (Old Russian saying)

It means: "if someone drinks vodka without beer he's just wasting his money".

But this saying also has another version:
"Pivo bez vodki- dengi na veter"

It means: "if someone drinks beer without vodka he's just wasting his money".

Feel the difference.

It's LD50

Bereta_Eder · July 15, 2002, 09:11

well we mix all sorts of drinks with Vodka. Some of them are not alcoholic.

But as far as I know there is not drinking of beer and vodka together.

maybe I should try it...!

Bereta_Eder · July 15, 2002, 09:14

BTW anybody knows Archer's? a thick drink with the sent of peach? It's great when mixed with the correct amount of coke (as in coca cola) and ice.

I don't want to brag, but I have impressed people with this coctail of mine

OK so it is not very complicated to make but still

aaglo · July 15, 2002, 09:16

I'm still not impressed, paiktis, even though it may not be your mission in life.

Bereta_Eder · July 15, 2002, 09:17

well, we just both gonna have to live with it now, won't we?

Solly · July 15, 2002, 09:25

Archers and lemonade ain't too bad, my flatmate has that.

Honestly Paiktis, yiou're talking bollocks when you say you can drink as much vodka as you like. The only thing that would give you this idea is if Greek vodka is watered down.

1ml of alcohol is 1ml of alcohol, regardless of what he delivery method is (ie spirits, wine, or beer).

I know, I was actually researching it earlier today.

Bereta_Eder · July 15, 2002, 09:28

boddington, you were the original non believer.

There is not watered down vodka. It happens all over europe with me.

A friend of mine's sister said that alcohol got stronger if you drank it through a straw.

Heard that one several times.

Paiktis - you're probably just self-fulfillingly prophesising yourself then.
