How many pints are in a "feed of pints"?

SmilingLurker

I just told my wife I plan on having a "feed of pints" for an upcoming celebration. She asked me how many pints are in a "feed of pints"? Suggested answers anyone?

Binge drinking I'd say.

Scioch

How ever many it takes until your "full".

helen1

More than ten

Stinicker

At least thirty

mikemac1

less then a rake of pint


Did you have to ask the wife for pocket money?

It's not a number of pints, it's a rate of pints. Say your guests average 3 pints every two hours, and you have 20 guests, then you need a feed of 30 pints per hour. :pac:

MetalDog

It's more than a rake but slightly less or possibly the same, as an assload.

Pushtrak

Depends how fed you want to be.

Princess Consuela Bananahammock

A "feed"? Good Jesus. we need to measuare and analyse these things now?

I go out and a drink. When I've had enough and go home.

Killed By Death

Anything over 8 pints is a feed!

You shouldnt drink, you will be on here after, talking about suicide again.

A feed off pints is enough to make you very, very drunk.

Its open to variation.

About a small child's worth

CageWager

Half your age plus 7

Brinimartini

'tis only a taste unless you're full...then you can call it a feed.

pauldla

Somewhere between a rake and a whole go, I'd say.

Giblet

Always hated the expression. Sounds like they're trying to drink enough pints to puke and then eating the puke. Ugh.

How many were you planning to drink? That's your answer.

Dyr

Presumably its equivalent to a geansai load in the metric system

sh1tstirrer

Drink pints of Guinness if your sh1t is black the following morning you know that you had a good feed of pints.

Why? Because hardcopy said it first?

A feed of pints is the exact amount it takes to not remember how many you've actually had.

saintsaltynuts

I'd say about three fiddy.

augustus gloop

a few pints 2-4
a locha pints 5-8
a feed of pints 8-11
a "raft" of pints 11 to oblivion

a raft of pints is saved for occasions like weddings or winning the championship with the club

"were ya out last night lad?"
.... "was I out??!! sure we won the junior yesterday, jeasus we had a fkn raft of pints after, im dying, cmon sure we will have the breakfast anyway"


thats the breakdown in Cavan anyway

When my wife asks me as how much I plan to drink, I start crying and say "till I love you again" and the run out of the room.

This usually buys me a few days peace and quiet.

Sergeant

Depends on how thirsty you are.

More than a skinful, but a lot less than a metric shítload of pints.

BASHIR

I can never remember should be your answer.

ha ha hello

6 and over

There's a few things that need to be right for a feed of pints;
1. The venue - one pub only, proper old style pub, no fancy food, not background music, waiter service or staff in uniforms. No beer garden. Dark, dank and dingy.
2. Food - nothing till at least 10 & then nothing that requires leaving the pub so crisps, toasted sambo or if your lucky the pub will send around a few baskets of deep fried stuff. Gorge on it.
3. Timing - You'd want to be starting around 4, anything earlier than that requires a dinner of some kind & rule 2 rules that out.
4. Rounds - decent number of people are required to buy rounds. I'd say 5-8. All on the black stuff, although its acceptable to have one or two young lads on cider or bottles for entertainments sake.
5 - Topics - 'state of yer wan', 'd'ya remember back in 198...' 'me hole' 'your ma' 'double or quits'
6 - No doing the absolute dog on it - triple voddies/shots/ etc are all off the table
7. nightclubs etc no go.
8. Respectable end to the night - anything in or about midnight, a slow 'right lads, sure I'll call it an evening' - a nonchalant ordinary, everyday feel to it.

Now...anyone coming for a few scoops?

lazygal

I'll go. Not pregnant any more so dying for a feed of drink.

Vicar in a tutu

Roughly around 35 pints.

Sometimes I go a bit mad and have 2 feeds of pints though.

I once used this rule for determining the age at which it's allowed to go out with a girl. However, I forgot to add the 7, so needless to say I'm now locked up in prison.
