    Ah it doesn't matter OP. Well as long as it's just an off licence, I wouldn't try that carry-on in a local Mace/Spar etc. I dunno why it's different, it just is.

    What did you do with your day while you were drinking?

    Off license staff see all sorts of things during a day. They aren't judging you or even thinking twice about you. Sounds like you are feeling a bit guilty though. Maybe give your body a bit of a break after today for a while. To be on the safe side you could go to your doc and have some bloodwork done. The important thing today is to not beat yourself up. None of us are perfect.

    Of course its bad form to visit an off license 3 times a day. There are plenty of ones that deliver for god sake. You are waisting good drinking time.

    People here can sugar coat it for you all they like but 16 cans is not normal or healthy to drink in one sitting, no matter how you feel after it.

    You'll do serious damage to yourself if you do that often.

    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.

    Your prediction was very much correct.

    I dunno, I have had a few drinks pretty much everyday this week but I lost the run of myself a bit last night.

    Someone pointed out that I must feel guilty about it, hence the thread and I suppose that's true.

    I'll have to reign myself in a little in future and try not to create silly threads on boards!

    Ah,that old chestnut. Some people can drink and some people can't.18 cans over the course of the day is not a whole lot if you fall into the former category,which you obviously dont and the op clearly does.Have you never spent a whole day in a pub?20-30 pints is not uncommon amongst my peers.

    This is a bit of a myth, I find guinness much easier to drink a lot of than most largers. It's easier on the system, less gas and less chemicals so will leave (me anyway) feeling much better the next day.

    If I drank 10 pints of larger Id far worse than if I drank 15 or 16 pints of Guinness.

    It is easier to drink but its heavy and fills you up,making you less inclined to seek out some mid session soakage,essential if you wanna keep up with the big boys.

    Eat before and eat after, none of this mid-session eating for me.

    30 pints in a day?

    That's almost 4 gallons of beer. :eek:

    Enough to replace your entire blood volume three times.

    I bet they are mostly obese.

    The list of health complaints this would cause makes it barely believable that someone would willingly take part.

    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.

    You do this everyday? How do you manage to work? Or Is this what you spend your whole dole on?

    Beer doesn't "go off" like tomatoes or bread or ham yet people buy food for the week only to sling a load of it out. Apply this concept to the non-perishable beer and you are sorted.

    20-30 pints is a ridiculous amount, bordering on obscene.

    Very very few people sit down and drink 30 pints in a day.

    20 maybe but that would be my limit I would say. Stretched over the course of a full day though it's not that bad I would have thought.

    Maybe I do move in strange circles!

    As regards the calories etc. I don't know what it is but I drink I suppose more than most people but I'm still the same size I was ten years ago when I was 21.

    6'4, 32 inch waist.

    I don't exercise but I eat pretty healthy and don't drink fizzy drinks or any of that.

    I do eat a lot of biscuits and such though!

    Guinness has a far, far less calorie count than a lot of other mainstream branded beers, and I think a lot less than some spirits with mixers even.

    A fact very few people actually know (and don't believe when you tell them), people assume guinness is the worst of all when in fact it has the lowest calories.

    Wrong? That confirms what I said. Click on Heineken or carlsberg and they have more calories than guinness.

    I have to say my most enjoyable "deliveries" are after a feed of Guinness never got people fearing a visit to the toilet the next day.

    It has a higher calorie count than MOST of the drinks. I know because I calorie count everything.
