TacT · 27-04-2003 03:13PM

I don't count my drinks, I drink em

dendenz · 27-04-2003 04:54PM

Seems a fairwhack of us are not the steriotypical Irishmwn who can drink all night long lol!!!!!

Squall · 27-04-2003 05:10PM

Depends on the time but about 7 or 8 pints and im pretty spannered. Its funny actually im only 5" something (dunno) about 11 stone and can drink more than my 6" 4" ,14 stone friend.

Usually have 3 or 4 pints (Heineken, none of that beginners stuff, yunno Bulmers and the like

) and then a brandy and 7up or two(if ya havent tryed it you should, tis beautifuil, expensive though) then back to the pints.

Caesar_Bojangle · 27-04-2003 05:51PM

for such a lanky stream of piss i can handle a fair amount.
Example last night:

5 pints of budweiser,
1/2 guinness, good god thats one manky drink
6 long island ice teas (special deal on 2 for 1, amounting to €24 not too bad tbh)
3 shots of sambuca with salt and lemon
1 large vodka coke
3 wicked downed in 30 seconds each
and a glass of whiskey to start the night off

For the amount i spent i swear to god i was nowhere near drunk and feel like a gob****e for spending so much cash

Mewzel · 27-04-2003 06:31PM

i find that i can usually take quite a lot of spirits, bout 8 vodkas a night (which ive found to be a fair amount for a girl) but i will be absolutely smashed after 2 pints of any beer! i aint got no stomach for it either,....

azezil · 27-04-2003 07:50PM

Usually have about 4pints n bout 4 vodka's ... gets me merry.

Although in the George i throw back double vodka's like they're water!!

Woden · 27-04-2003 08:06PM

Maybe they are water?

I hate when that happens

I try only to bring enough moeny to get home when I get into the nightclub, I always try and drink before hand.

Whenever I have to much money Im just too tempted to hit the Slippery Nipples etc, and they do nothing for me

Giblet · 27-04-2003 08:40PM

Until I have enough money to get home..
I could drink over 10 pints easily and a few shots if I had the cash, and depending on how giddy I was would be the deciding factor in how drunk I became.

LOL!

"I know a fella that drank 3 shots of Absence and went missing for a week!"

:rolleyes:

Samara · 28-04-2003 11:28AM

I can drink way too much!! I'm about 5ft5 and 8.5stone and can easily drink either pint bottles of bulmers and/or most shorts well into the teen figures, couldn't give you an accurate count! I don't get sick, don't fall down, don't black out and very very very rarely suffer any hangovers!! I just get merry and giggly. Saturday's session was 12hours long, countless pint bottles and I still made it home under my own steam. Normally I don't go out until later at night though, because my pocket couldn't take it! Ever since I first started drinking I always had a high tolerance for drink, don't know why or how!!!

Someone mentioned Bulmers and blackcurrant?? Some of the guys I know take it a step further and have Bulmers, blackcurrant and pernod mixed - sounds awful I know, but they seem to like it

Praetorian · 28-04-2003 11:38AM

I usually drink Guinness

2-3 and I'm happy
4-6 and I'm well merry / slightly drunk
any more and I'll be hungover the next day / sick

I'm also invulnerable to "night club" drinks. Aftershocks / bottles of beer / WKD's / Smirnoff ICE's. They seem to wake me up actually.

not a sausage · 28-04-2003 12:17PM

my tolerance changes

my usual mad night out consists of about 8 - 10 pints , couple of whiskeys and maybe sambukas, but thats only on the rare occasion of a seisiun,
if i'm going for a few pints, i might have 8 and be merry, i feel tipsy after about 5 sometimes though, i think it depends on my mood

Night club drinks. Evil. I'm known as Sickboy when it comes to drinking in the local night club. Never drink pints in night clubs, they is just sick. As soon as one of those sweet skanky bottled drinks of leprechaun pish hits my stomach its KABLAMO ! Spew City. Bin or floor usually.

Irish_Ranger_IR · 28-04-2003 03:18PM

Well, it started with 2 pints, and then 4 where i was legless, then now it's alot more, 6,7 pints, a half bottle of vodka, zambuka, wine, I seem to drink anything when I go out, also if you can't drink to much, i would consider that an advantage.

AS........

it's a cheep night out,

as I went on a 3 day bender and spent 450 €uros

MAC_E · 28-04-2003 03:51PM

It depends on how much Ive had to eat beforehand, and also on the general environment im drinking in (Id get pissed quicker in a crowded pub on a sat night, than if I was drinking in a beer garden).

On average id be pissed on my seventh pint.

woosaysdan · 28-04-2003 06:09PM

about 8-9 pints of cider and then 6 gin and bitter and 4 vodka and redbull i was very very drunk that nite

rubadub · 28-04-2003 08:12PM

as said before it depends on many factors. a huge one is drinking quickly on an empty stomach. you process about 1 4.5% pint per hour. so if you drink 3 pints in an hour you should have twice the alcohol in your bloodtream as if you had drank only 2. back when i could drink anything i downed 1/2 bottle of gin in 10mins thats 1 shot per minute, savage blackout ensued. if i get up on a saturday and have "the thirst" i can get nicely "hyper talky drunk" on only 2 or 3 pints. usually i havent eaten since about 6pm friday. if i have eaten a lot it takes about 7 pints to get the same effect.

a guy i know used to brag about drinking 16 pints of guinness and only being a bit drunk, when questioned i found he ate after every 2nd pint or so! i told him he wasted his money. if i was to brag about drinking it would be about how LITTLE i have to drink to get drunk

[Iramus] · 28-04-2003 08:14PM

Im a crap drinker, 4 pints and im stuttering and gettin disorientated.

Wolf · 28-04-2003 08:16PM

A usual night out 10/12 pints of Gunniess then 3-5 sambuca's although it varies alot.

jd · 28-04-2003 08:21PM

Not sure anymore-my hangovers are so bad (get worse as you get older, and I don't drink as much/regularly as I did) that I don't go much beyond 5 or 6 pts-even then I know about it the next day

Wolf · 28-04-2003 08:23PM

^ Yeah but it not when you get older it as you get unfitter. Recently Iv been getting fit and my hang over a getting progrssivly better.

rubadub · 28-04-2003 08:27PM

to avoid hangovers drink pure booze. stoli or good white rum

Mossy Monk · 29-04-2003 12:15AM

it varies quite a bit for me

the weekend just gone:
Friday: 7 pints of lager and i was wasted
Saturday: 13 pints of lager, 1 liter of peach schnapps and i felt i could handle more. i ran out of drink :mad:
Sunday: 8 pints of lager and i was wasted
Today: 3 pints of lager and i couldn't drink no more

Pepe LeFrits · 29-04-2003 12:28AM

You know what they say "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" :rolleyes:

But, dont you mean absinthe

I'm round 5' 11" and just over 11 stone (I also enjoy long walks on the beach, the colour blue, poetry, unicorns, that warm gentle hug just before dozing off....<snip>...stop it... STOP IT NOW!!!)

At the moment, my tolerance level has gone down-hill something terrible, due to the fact I was off alcohol for Lent (albeit 4 pints on St. Patricks Day!) Trying to ease my way back into things.

Not saying I was a great drinker before or anything, round about the average I suppose.

Somewhere between 4-5 pints (Grand, not pissed, wake up following day, go about my normal routine)

And 9-11 pints, 3/4 straight Jamesons, cúpla Aftershock (Although I shouldn't) and that's when it starts going wrong. (Talking ****e, getting sick, wandering off, declaring un-dying love for traffic cones, falling asleep at the worst moments, drinking more :eek: , and feeling the following day like the occupants of the house just wiped their feet on your tongue and shoved two and a half bottles of Domestos down yer neck)

Welcome to my world

How much drink can you handle
