Is it bad form to go to the off license three time in one day?

    I have been wondering recently about the etiquette surrounding trips to the off license.

    I visited the off license three times today, for 8, 4 and 4 cans of guiness between the hours of 4pm and just before ten.

    Each time my head has told me that it's the wrong thing to do, but each time also, my heart has said "f**k it" and I have capitulated.

    I was just curious as to whether your typical boardsie would take issue with this as I kind of felt a pang of shame on round three but i'm not sure that I should have.

    Why not go to three different off licences? Or, just buy 16 in case.

    Just make sure you have plenty of toilet roll and air freshener in the bathroom tomorrow morning.

    Given they're in the business of selling beer I doubt there's a limit.

    On another note...sixteen cans??

    Just buy a crate, I always get a crate of beer and when it's getting low I buy another. Also means you won't have the situation at 3 in the morning and no store is open and you have to go to the pub if you want to continue.

    Doing it for one day means feck all.

    However, if you were to do it every day for a few months without changing your clothes then you might be considered to be exhibiting worrying symptoms.

    Apparently so..

    And i've just tapped in to my housemate's supply which is a further two cans.

    I believe I may well have a drinking problem.

    Bu that isn't really the topic of the thread.

    I should have planned ahead alright (for all you folks who suggested as much) however I kept thinking to myself that this would be the last trip, if you know what I mean?

    You started the thread cos you knew it was wrong. 16 cans is a problem. I could drink 9 myself and I know that's a problem

    Indeed, I just know that I felt bad going in the third time. Should I have?

    I don't normally care what what people think but I had a bee in my bonnet over this.

    Eighteen cans and still coherent is an issue.

    No you shouldn't have gone back. Drink at night until what you have is gone then go to bed. Don't come running to me with your hangover tomorrow :rolleyes:

    Some have a higher tolerance for alcohol, like he said he's being tipping away since 4pm, not sculling off pints in rapid succession.

    It's not for us to judge what a person has to drink. If you start during the day then you will find it hard to stop and just keep on going, probably why you kept going back. You could be the kind of person who gets bored easily. As long as it's not every day you're doing it like. Guinness is very heavy to be drinking a lot of though, you will get very, very sick.
