How much can you drink?

Was out with a friend last night and he drank 15 pints of Bud in 3 hours,(Yes I was counting),but he walked out the same way he walked in.Now he's a big man weight wise but there no way I'd drink that amount in one day.So how much alcohol can you consume?

I don't think Budweiser counts as drink does it?

MonstaMash · 12-04-2014 03:30PM

Enough to make me happy, not enough to kill me...

Your friend is a fool, his liver won't last long drinking like that.

Enough

Once I get to my fourth pint I just hit a wall. I literally cannot stomach anymore than that. And I wouldn't even be that drunk, I just feel too full.

I used to be way better in my student days. Now I'd be feeling it after 3 pints, drunk after 5 and on my arse after 7.

K4t · 12-04-2014 03:32PM

Too much

Ihatecuddles · 12-04-2014 03:33PM

I can drink a bottle of wine and be drunk, but I can drink vodka like water and not get past tipsy!

I am a lightweight. Skinny and short arse. Had maybe 4 or 5 cans last night and I was well on my way.

Gheebag · 12-04-2014 03:36PM

I drank 6 pints in the same amount of time and I'm still suffering

SamAK · 12-04-2014 03:37PM

4-5 pints over as many hours and I wobble home. Any more than that and **** gets messy.

Being overly drunk has to be one of the unpleasant highs of any drug.

Depends on loads of things. How much I've eaten, how tired I am, what I'm drinking etc.

Smithwicks is only 3.8% but fcuks me right up. Can drink a bottle of white wine with dinner and be fairly ok, merry just. Two weeks ago I had a half pint of leffe before eating dinner and it went straight to my head. Didn't have anything else to drink til I ate. Last Friday had a glass of red wine and an actifed tablet (clever girl) and was unconscious on the sofa within half an hour

Your friend might have looked ok but his insides are crying I bet.

My cut off for pints is 5 and importantly not necking them or the cut off comes sooner. I'll then slowly have a few gin and tonics over the rest of the night.

Call Me Jimmy · 12-04-2014 03:40PM

Thing as well is the type of drink too, it will effect your feeling of getting drunk. For me I think cans/pints obviously makes me very full and I can feel my body trying to process the sheer AMOUNT of the crap as well as the actual alcohol. That has an effect on overall feeling imo.,

J_E · 12-04-2014 03:42PM

To be honest I don't like to test my limits if possible, there's a point of drunkenness where I feel a little out of control that I've hit twice and I really hate it. Usually caused by drinking too much whiskey.

After a few glasses of wine, or about 4-5 pints, or a few cocktails/spirits, that's when it's the time to stop for me or at least break with water.

Not even enough to get drunk. After two or maybe three pints, I just feel completely full. It's really annoying when you physically can't drink any more (for fear of it coming straight back up) and somebody puts a pint in front of you, and calls you a "lightweight" for not being able to drink it. I find it kind of sad when people take pride in the volume of liquid they can consume.

They're morons, got to call out that sort of ****e.

How much I've eaten

Food intake is a definite helper. At a wedding my cut off goes exponentially up. Those bread rolls are handy for something. :pac:

orangesoda · 12-04-2014 03:50PM

a fair amount of soda, have drunk 5 litres in a day once

super_furry · 12-04-2014 03:51PM

Enough.

Yea c'mon like unless your real young (up to early 20's) ye should be in a place where ye can actually just say piss off to any genuine lightweight talk. If someone actually held that opinion seriously I'd be inclined to think there is probably better company available somewhere.

I very rarely go to pubs, but at some point I usually hear someone being casually called a "lightweight". There's never any malice in it - it's just a throwaway, jokey term - usually aimed at someone who decides to go home at 10 because they have to get up for work the next morning, or someone who orders a glass instead of a pint. It's just weird that the term is ever used in that context. I mean, a couple of pints of any liquid within a couple of hours is quite a lot - unless you've just run a marathon.

Aren't you the big man for being such a 'heavyweight'.

Jumboman · 12-04-2014 04:25PM

12 pints is the most I've ever drank in one sitting.

its called pacing yourself

Depends on what I'm drinking and if I've eaten anything first. Usually I drink spirits with a lot of mixer in and I'd probably have maybe 5 or 6 gin and tonics on a Saturday night, at home. Though I wouldn't force myself to drink it, I'd often end up pouring a drink down the sink before bed instead of downing it for the sake of drinking it.

On the very rare occassions that I'd go on a real binge, it scares me how much I can drink while being relatively sober. I drank a lot and mixed my drinks when I was between 18 and mid 20's. Once you get into your 30's it's harder to recover from a hangover, and you get a bit more sensible.

How much can you drink?
