4 days. The drinking was the easy part,the horrors were awful

Queen-Mise

About four years - as in I never sobered up. There was always alcohol in my blood stream. Not some of the finer moments in my life.

Me thinks you've got the wrong thread dude.

About 6 weeks, good times..

5 days, xmas before last. Had never done it before so decided what the hell. Ended up running out of booze and ordering online from Tesco. Was in a mess afterwards, don't regret it however.

Poor Uncle Tom

The early 90's are a bit of a haze...........The odd photo shows up every now and then, I usually have to double take, then the memories start to come back, it's like opening the door on a bad trip.

BraziliaNZ

well we've all had 3 day bender weekends where you dont really sober up but you sleep a few hours here and there. The longest bender I can remember staying awake for was probably starting around 3pm and going home with some bird at 0730 or 8 the next morning, in Germany. God it took me a while to recover from that.

Spunge

Probably 3 or 4 days. Its completely different sort of hangover, i guess its actual withdrawal.

Multiple years must be a nightmare :eek:

Yes. Hellish. Dark thoughts and feelings. I'm doing my best to stay away from benders like that these days...

Poor Craythur

Jeez, I'm an amateur compared to some of yiz.

No more than 12 hours for me, I'd say.

But I get truly horrific hangovers that make me very depressed and I feel like I'm going insane. And that's just after a drunken night. Can't imagine what the hangover from a multi-day bender would be like.

questionmark?

About a month - the hangover lasted a few days or maybe it was withdrawal symptoms

If i tried that now I'd be in hospital after the third day!

Storminateacup

A binge here and there.

Without sobering up AT ALL? Probably 2 weeks. That was drinking til I passed out, waking up and hammering into it again. It wasn't just alcohol though.

DT's? I think I know how heroin addicts feel going cold turkey.

PeterIanStaker

First two years of my Arts degree is a blur, can't believe I actually got my head out of my ass and got a 2.1 in the end. Used to start after my 10am lecture some times.

I'm probably too cynical to be a proper wino.

Fairplay to you for doing something about it, and best of luck in your continuing recovery:)

Holidays a year and a half ago. I was sober for about 3 hours when I woke up in the mornings and then went straight on it, was about 9 days I'd say. Great holiday.

Sitting duck, I know, but I couldn't resist.

Retail Hell

4 day weekends starting thursday after work,we used to call it the thursday night club, pick up english girls over for the weekend in temple bar, get hammered and sober up on Monday afternoons, wouldbe worse with live footie onmonday nights, and champions league footie mid week, I must have spent a fooking fortune in4-5 years of singledom, getting a girlfriend sorta saved me

Son Of A Vidic

It's not something I would measure and I'm not in the habit of carrying a stop watch. I just like to go with the flow.

3 days at electric picnic, I smelled like chickatees!

Hank Scorpio

Probably 5 or 6 days at college

orourkeda

I usually drank until I shat my pants or other misfortune

Queen-Mise

when people see 4 years drunk, i can imagine the reaction is bullsh*te. Unfortunately its true though.

All the typical 4 day weekends: thurs-sun. Often run one weekend to the next. When working a smoke in the morning - for dopeY feeling. Drinking at lunch, and then cans on the way home.

This was the 90s so crazy parties in london/brighton, then all the festivals. Every summer day drinking in the park. I was a topper-up drinker, did not sober up for 4 years. UnSurprisingly nearly killed me at the end.

flas

cousin used to live in lanzarote, so when ever wanted a holiday i used to ring him and he would ring home to my aunts and say he was lonely, to send me and my brother over to him, they(6 of them) would all chip in and buy us our tickets and give us some spendin money, and then we would have our own money and his place to stay, would go over for a few weeks! usually after about 7 or 8 days of solid drinkin would hit the wall and then not be able to move, not be able to sleep, see things that arent there, then the next day would be right as rain to start again! was good craic at the time, ragin he moved back home!

ziedth

Without sleep was bones of 14 hours in Vegas. Messy doesn't even begin to describe it.

On and off sleep? Prob in Ibiza or on some kind of Holiday and did I'd say three nights and started drinking again when I woke up in the afternoon after passing out.

pragmatic1

Without sleep just over a day.

With sleep about a week.

Misty Chaos

Wow, I'm a lightweight compared to everyone else, the longest for me was only about 8 hours!

tommy21

Eternity - wish I'd picked something more interesting than wine and water though, gets boring after a time.

poisonated

Without sleep, about 14 hours.

With sleep, about a week.

14 days. I was in bits. Withdrawals were hella fun.


You can add me to the "doesn't drink any more" crew

scheister

with me 3 days started drinking the friday morning sobered up on the monday afternoon.

Me too! Well, maybe 12 hours for me. But that was pushing it for me.

But, and I'm saying this from a physiological viewpoint rather than a judgemental viewpoint, HOW can one be constantly drunk for multiple days, HOW? When I used to go out two nights in a row and be drunk both nights, my liver would be in such pain and would shaking its fist angrily at me. :pac:

Barely drink at all now. It's weird though, we do have a strange attitude to drink in this country. I've had friends get annoyed at me that I wasn't drinking on some night's out. Why?

tfitzgerald

The 90's are a bit hazy for me worked in holland for a few years and it was crazy, we went to Paris for a weekend once I have photos of myself in Paris but I have no recollection what so ever of been there . Could not do it now would take too long to recover

Interceptor

The 1990's are pretty much a complete haze. I started drinking in Wateford in 1989 and came to my senses in Galway in 2002. I do remember trying to make popcorn in a frying pan but I didn't have cooking oil so I tried red wine but that didn't work. Still ate it though. And finished the wine. I'd also like to apologise to anyone who found me asleep in their car, in bed with their wife or passed out in their toilet.

I don't really drink these days.

What's the longest you've been drunk for?

About 7 inches, erect.

It's a low-level continuous topping up of alcohol so withdrawal never really sets in. It's not 'falling around' drunk, it's just ensuring the buzz doesn't go. Even a few sips here every hour keeps the alcohol in the bloodstream, circumventing withdrawal and keeping you drunk constantly.

But personally, my liver couldn't take that, even when I was 17! And I'd imagine one wouldn't be looking so hot after several days drinking.

My sister said she spent about a week drinking every day at her friend's on-campus accommodation at UCD. She said at the end, her skin had a greenish hue and she just looked like death warmed up.

Thank God ye don't meet often....:D

About a week, with sleep etc inbetween obviously.

What better way to spend a week off work that being constantly pissed? lmao

Oh there's no doubt about it, nobody's liver can take it but you're not thinking of your liver at the time, you're thinking of the horrors of being sober. My brother was like that - he always had a low-level inebriation going on. He thought he'd be able to cope with it - that his liver would manage just fine. He's dead now.

marcbrophy

For 32 or 33 days straight, I had booze every night, minimum 4 or 5 cans. I wouldn't say I was drunk the whole time, but I definitely needed a day off it by the end
