Am I drinking too much?

Infernal Racket

I had eighteen bottles of whiskey in my cellar and was told by my wife to empty the contents of each and every bottle down the sink, or else… I said I would and proceeded with the unpleasant task. I withdrew the cork from the first bottle and poured the contents down the sink with the exception of one glass, which I drank. I then withdrew the cork from the second bottle and did likewise with it, with the exception of one glass, which I drank. I then withdrew the cork from the third bottle and poured the whiskey down the sink which I drank. I pulled the cork from the fourth bottle down the sink and poured the bottle down the glass, which I drank. I pulled the bottle from the cork of the next and drank one sink out of it, and threw the rest down the glass. I pulled the sink out of the next glass and poured the cork down the bottle. Then I corked the sink with the glass, bottled the drink and drank the pour. When I had everything emptied, I steadied the house with one hand, counted the glasses, corks, bottles, and sinks with the other, which were twenty-nine, and as the houses came by I counted them again, and finally I had all the houses in one bottle, which I drank. I’m not under tha affluence of incohol as some thinkle peep I am. I’m not half as thunk as you might drink. I fool so feelish I don’t know who is me, and the drunker I stand here, the longer I get.

Sounds like one of those "funny" stories that people's aunts share on Facebook...

Erraah I wouldn't be fond of the drinking, but when I do go at it I go at it awful hard. I'd have about 45 pints in about 2 hours, and I'd have an aul packet a crips then or an aul packet eh peanuts, and I'd have 3 more anyway. And I'd get up in the morning then, and Maureen'd have the fry on.

And I'd go at it again. And I tell ya one thing, there'd be no fückin shtopping me. I'd drink the shirt off any man's back.

Bastards.

One of my friends is a ten pint a day drinker, now cans, for the last ten years and how he still holds down a good job I'll never know.

Probably 15-20 each day on a Friday and Saturday

Generally speaking, if you ask yourself that question often the answer is yes.

The true version of this thread - “I had 18 bottles of whiskey in the cellar. I drank them all. Then I started this thread.“

Yea I'd say roughly 350-500 a week on pints. Showed us his pay slip one while drunk and getting 850 a week into his account.

He's immune to hangovers at this stage but if he goes off it for a day or two the shakes start kicking in.

850 a week into his account and wasting 350 - 500 on drink what does he work as ?

I would say yes he has a drinking problem.
