How much beer can you drink? - Page 3

True - the speed of consumption thing is something I'd forgotten.

Usually I forget my true count when I get to 7 or 8, and we usually go to a few pubs so it's not like the bar staff can count either.

However, one unique day, we spent all day in the Snooker Club. ie, football at 12noon, a bit of cricket, football at 4, a few frames of snooker, Spanish footie at 8...etc.

Apparently the barstaff counted us as having 21 bottles each. That's 330ml bottles of Carlsberg Export, 5%. So..hmm, around 12 pints. Sounds about right.

Last time I had anything like this was around 5 weeks ago.

Check it out, here is Boddington's in kindergarden.

I honestly don't know as I don't stick to just beer in the course of an evening. Most often I'd start off with a few pints, move onto a few alcopops and finish off with a few shots.

Hmm...what did I have on friday?...

1.5 bottles of white wine
One 5.5% vodka Reef
One 5% vodka Smirnoff Ice
One "shot" of cider

That had me happy drunk, right in the sweet centre where you know it's not going to wear off soon but you're not going to puke. White wine added the giggles too.

The best drunk was on a 12 hour long pissup I had a few weeks ago. Drinking anything/everything from 1 pm to 1 a.m. Didn't even notice that my ankle was twisted from 10pm onwards until I woke up the next morning.

Alcopops are so expensive and ruin your teeth.

Drop for drop, they're stronger than beers in a similar price range.

Solly · July 13, 2003, 06:46

You talking about bottled beers? You might be right. Bottled beers

That's why beer drinkers stick to pints.

Az · July 13, 2003, 06:49

Starchild speaks the truth.

I am ok. I can't consume many beers though. 4 beers and I feel sick. not drunk sick, but "Too much stuff in my digestive system" sick.

With food, I can consume lots of liquor. Still, silliness, and hillarity ensue.

Solly · July 13, 2003, 06:52

Well a double spirit in Wetherspoon's tends to be a similar price to a pint of strong beer...

Starchild · July 13, 2003, 06:52

That said, there's no way I'd turn down a fine Newcastle Brown or other proper ale in favour of a Smirnoff Ice.

Solly · July 13, 2003, 06:58

Anyone ever seen Newcy Brown on tap?

They do Smirnoff Ice on tap in Dublin; wondering how long it'll take for that to arrive here.

I hate Smirnoff. for some reason, for me it goes down REAL bad. worse that some of the wino-feed local brands.

Maybe 14 pints on the right day, at least in my prime. but I'm not as strong a drinker as I used to be. Good, as it's a lot cheaper that way.

Soul Survivor · July 13, 2003, 10:08

Its hard for me to fit enough beer in my stomach to get really drunk from it.... but once you get the rum in me I'm gone

2-3 beers per hour is enough to keep me happily tipsy

Zero · July 13, 2003, 10:13

i had shots yesterday so if I convert shots to beer cans it would be 12.

But everyone knows you can drink unlimited amount of beer as long as you have something to puke out.

But back OT.

I've never tried to test how much I could take but I was at a party a while a go and sat on a chair and piled bottles up next to me. When I went home there were 15 there and I was still in reasonable shape.

So how many before you fall over?

I once finished a two-four and then had some tequila.

Following which, I puked my guts up in the hallway of my apartment building and stumbled into bed.

KrazyHorse · July 13, 2003, 11:15

Finished 7 or 8 yesterday and felt perfectly fine. A little bit gassy, though.

Solly · July 13, 2003, 11:19

Beer really gives me farts.

If I plan on pulling I better not have any more than two beers - get on the JD or something.

KrazyHorse · July 13, 2003, 11:22

Mine comes up the other way, so it's all good.

Solly · July 13, 2003, 11:25

Some nights I've had to fight to stay awake cos I know if I drop off I'll wake up while performing a right ripper.

Paul Hanson · July 13, 2003, 11:37

Provided you're on your own, I can't see a problem with that.

C0ckney · July 13, 2003, 12:12

hehe, my flatmate did the best one ever. he was boning this girl, and he went and farted right in the middle of it! the best bit was her reaction 'that was such a manly thing to do'. i was wetting myself when i heard about this

Uncle Sparky · July 13, 2003, 12:22

How much beer I can drink is not the question. The question should be , "Who is picking up the tab ?"

The amount I can drink depends upon who's buying & who's driving.

Yeah, they export it that way. It's not the same.

They also sell it in pissy little bottles here. Never mind in a month I'll be in Geordieland enjoying a glass from a proper sized bottle.

Oerdin · July 27, 2003, 22:05

I did the century club in college using bud. To "shot a century" you have to drink 100 shots of beer in 100 minutes so I think that comes out to be something like 600 fluid ounces of beer.

Yes, I was very ****ed up. Obviously the strength of the beer and the time in which you consume the beer will dictate how much you can drink before getting sick or passing out.

Saras · July 28, 2003, 04:34

20 bottles (0.5l) 5.2% strength Svyturys Extra in 3.5 hours. Will NEVER EVER do that again.

Sounds easy if you ask me..

100 shots = 100 * 25ml = 2500ml = 4 and a half pints

Is there anyone hear who can't keep up a pace of a pint every twenty minutes?

Wernazuma III · July 28, 2003, 12:15

My worst beer orgy ended after No. 16. (half-liter bottles)
My worst drinking orgy generally ended after 9 beer, 30 shots of Tequila and some stuff called Harakiri - I wanted to commit such then, but found myself too drunk to perform it...

But that was, when I was younger. Nowadays, 5 beer already get me slightly drunk, when drinking them within in less than 5 hours. And still worse are my hang-overs. Even after drinking not more than 3-4 beer, when I am absolutely fine that evening, I can wake up with a terribly huge head. I'm getting really old.

Japher · July 28, 2003, 12:20

Week Nights:

1 x 40oz.
6 x 16 oz.
=136 oz./night

Weekends (Saturday & Sunday):
2 x 40 oz.
12 x 12 oz.
=224 oz./Weekend day

Yeah, I'm an alcoholic... Haven't been hungover in over a year now, so at least I am a functional drunk...

Your count is off. It was way more then 4.5 beers. Assuming 3 ounces per "shot" that would be 300 fluid ounces. That is WAY more then four and a half pints.
