Over what time frame? I can do probably 15 cans over 10 hours myself. 30 is some amount of diesel though.

12-14 hours. That'd be without anything to keep me awake.

I'd question 30 over any 24 hour period. I did 18 last year from mid day onwards with a mixture of baileys, vodka, gin & captain morgan. Mouth was as dry as an arabs sandal on stevo's day.

Marched on to Leopardstown all the same for another skinful.

Can't beat a xmas session

Question away. :P Used to be a lot of people surprised. :P

Back in my peak while visiting pals in Canada, over an August bank holiday weekend, they expect you to drink a 24 case of bottles 340ml 12oz 5.5% per day. Camping starts friday till the monday, mananged it the Friday, managed about 16 day two
was done by sunday. Big drinkers them canucks

I could drink bottles all day and night. 24 bottles @ 340 ml is 14 pints give or take. Over say a 16 hour period. Plenty of time for youre body to have flushed a lot out by hour 11 or 12. I dont believe either that foreign beer is a strong as they make out. For instance the uk has a higher percentage in heineken or coors than we do but id drink more over there than here. Its piss water.

So you both have children, but managed to get so p*ssed ye were hardly fit to mind yourselves. Great example for your kids tbh.

Ah piss off its after hours. Take it somewhere else. I have been really hungover with my kids before. Minded them, looked after them, but didnt enjoy one but of it.

Good solid session so.

I'm assuming you went from sober to drunk to sober to drunk on a number of occasions

Yeah towards the end of my drinking days I couldn't really get drunk. Bottle of vodka in just over an hour didn't even do it so I decided it was time to give up chasing it. :P

Trying to be a hero at a Christmas party is a very stupid idea if you aren't putting in regular training throughout the year. You see lads who are more used to sharing a bottle of wine with the missus while watching the late late show turn up at the Christmas party and attempt to put away 10-15 pots. That's a recipe for disaster. Or worse are the lads who gave up the gargle for November and then go back at it hard.

Once you start seeing Christmas ads on the telly you need to put in place an action plan. If you are someone who usually operates in the 6 to 8 pint range then know your limitations - 12-14 is the absolute maximum you'll be able to put away over Christmas during a session. Suggest hitting the pub twice a week from early October onwards. Start with 6, and increase intake by a pint per session. Don't be afraid to use pub snacks to make this transition easier.

Then you'll rock up to the Christmas party, sink 14 of them, and still be functioning as you leave.

Not rocket science.

I could write a book on this but one particularly funny incident a few years ago when I was calling over to a friends house for a day of watching sport. He owed me 6 cans, I brought 6 cans with me and I left that night owing him 4 cans

. Not the craiziest amount in the world but it still gets joked about. We tore into it the next day in the pub also from around lunch time and that was a lot more messy....

Been doing the 12 pubs for so long now it's not even seen as a challenge, did it Saturday and was home in bed by 1:30 and up at 9:30 the next day getting a few bits done.

In my younger days I could go into the high teens early 20's for pints over the course of a full day session alright now 10-12 pints would pretty much be the limit no more than 8 on a school night.

Who invented the 12 pubs concept?

It hasn't been around long I reckon.

It’s around since the mid-90’s at least. There used to be 12 pubs on Baggot Street. Was big with the banker lads. You’d start at the Searsons end and finish up on Stephens’s Green. Toners wouldn’t always serve them though.

Had 2 bad experiences with it over the last few years.

One myself and one the other half

The next time you're out order yourself a pint of personal responsibility.

It's delicious.

It's around about a decade, not a whole lot more. I've been drinking on Baggot St for nearly 25 years and don't recall it during the 90s under the banner of "12 pubs". It was just a plain old pub crawl.
Twas probably invented by the same dopes who came up with "minimum unit pricing" - failing publicans, to try and wrest every last cent from your pocket.

There's some... interesting pictures of me doing the 12 pubs in 2002. Was well known then.

I don't know, maybe they are .. I said probably - wouldn't surprise me with nanny state laws.

Aren't those pie eating contests banned now ?

There was "the baggot street mile" which was a pub crawl that brought you from baggot street into town. cant remember how many pubs it was, obviously as i was plastered after about 8 pubs. It was a UCD thing and wasnt for xmas as the students usually went back to rural areas well early in December.

I lived in the suburbs in dublin and one time we did every second pub on the one street from town to near where we lived. around 14 pubs and the benefit was finished at my local pub so was handy as didnt need a taxi. plus i got a 5 mile walk as part of it.

Used to be called the Baggot mile, I know my uncle was doing it in the mid 90s.

I first heard of the 12 pubs around 02, but the idea was the names of the pubs had to be the letters of Christmas day, which was a bit better challenge than the wankerfest it became....

It's been around a lot longer than 10 years. I did my first one in cork around 2000 and it was a well established tradition by then.

I would usually ageee with you but on that occasion there was a sense of management expecting if not quite forcing ppl to drink.

I wasn’t there but from piecing together info from her friend who was sober throughout Apparently her direct manager and even higher management were pressuring ppl to drink drink drink and yes others ended up in a bad way after the 12 pubs that night.

Lots of hangovers and One other person collapsed the following day

Yet her friend, the teetotlar, was sober? No one's fault but your wife's for the state she got herself into.

Any good stories of massive sessions ?

I unfortunately am a lightweight and think the most I've ever drunk is 10 pints over the course of a day and was absolutely wrecked after it...

Fantastic achievement in fairness. I'm a complete lightweight. I wouldn't drink that in a month tbh. I bought a slab of beer last Xmas and still a few left in the kitchen press.
