Your booze limit

fussyonion

What's your booze limit?

With wine, I can only really have one bottle; it used to be two but now I'm getting older, I can't tolerate it anymore and I get tired.
If it's lager or cider, I can drink five cans and I'm full. Same with pints.
What about you?

Are you a bottomless pit when it comes to booze or are you p*ssed after two glasses of sherry?
Or do you just get tired/emotional?

I agree with this. I am a total lightweight and can only handle 4 pints on average. I had heard stories of a new friend last year and watched him have 21 draught pint of Bulmers away on a night out. I was really shocked. He was not overly proud when I told him I had counted 21 the day after. He only does this every couple of months mind you and he is a big bogger aswell.

What does that have to do with anything? Does he line the stomach with turf before going on the piss?

Yeah, there is a plateau between about 5 and 9 pints, the 2 hours of normal fun before things start getting hectic, people start thinking of shots and fat frogs etc.

That's a terrible thing to say about the ladies.

Yeah I used to drinks those yokes too back in the day.

I'd know fellows who'd drink 20-25 pints. Now it would be over the bones of an evening...and they are alcoholics...but certainly wouldn't say 16 is something outrageous, particularly amongst older heads.

I myself would drink 10 or so, then I just tire of it. If I'm out out, might switch to vodka after that. That would be once a week, I don't drink at home in between.

Don't drink much anymore. Can't drink wine as it makes me mental. Can't drink beer as I'm fcuked the next day. Can't do proper shots and keep them down anymore...

Pints of cider (5 and I'm anyone's)
Cocktails
Baby Guinness or Micky Finns

That's it.

Depends on a few different things, but 6 or 7 pints would be about as far as I could go and stay 'good drunk'.

It depends on when I've eaten also. I can't drink on a full stomach which is why I hate weddings and Christmas parties. Once I have the meal I'm fooked. Ideally I'd want to wait a couple of hours after eating before I start drinking. I could never mix food and alcohol for some reason.

Same here, usually only have a pint or two before the wedding meal and drink water during it. Then I'm off. I find the more I drink before food, the less I drink after.

It depends when I start. I've often gone out in the afternoon for the footy and ended up in a nightclub. Sometimes I've gone out early evening and ended up at house parties. I'm generally the last idiot standing, "having the craic"!

Mister Vain

I always hit a wall when I get to the 4th pint. I could never drink anymore than 4 pints in one night as I just feel too full. In my early 20's when I was going clubbing, I would drink 2 or 3 pints of cider and then a couple of vodka and red bulls and that would do me for the night. I've never tried any shots, wouldn't have any desire to.

Penny Tration

My limit on a night out is about 8 drinks, which would be a mix of pints, shots and vodka. That'd have me pretty drunk.

Usually drink at home with himself. Bottle of wine and maybe one or two bottles of beer would be my limit, that'd be had slowly (from 8pm-3am) and have me tipsy by the time I go to bed.

Usually I'll drink a bottle of wine per week. I'm not a big drinker anymore.

Galwayguy35

I drink at home mostly, but if I'm in the pub 3 pints is enough.

In my 20s I could drink a lot and made nothing of getting up for work the next day.

I think for most people the older you get the affects of a hangover are a lot worse.

I can say that this would be fairly normal behaviour among lads. plenty get 6-8 cans in before they've even jumpednin a taxi to town, factor in a few more pints, 2 or 3 shots and a couple of Jameson gingers later in the night and 16 is an average maybe.

it does sound a lot when you think of it like sitting down in front of 16 pints. but yeah, over the course of a night, its far more common than you'd think.

think even an early day like six nations decider, you're out in the pub early and you stay out til 3.30 am. easily done

Lol so much this. They were probably proud posting about all this as well.

Although if they're true and I was their regular publican I'd be happy out. Probably give them a "special" rate on their pints and a few words of encouragement to feed their ego about how great they are for being able to drink so much alcohol to keep them buying that many every time they come in.

I mostly drink an alcoholic ginger beer these days. It has slightly less alcohol than most pints but even then I'd only drink 3 or 4. I do occasionally add a whiskey to it.

If I'm not drinking that I'm probably drinking an Old Fashioned but I'd rarely have more than 2 of those. I only drink once a week, if I finish work early on a Friday (so nothing this week).

Links234

2 or 3 pints or on the rare occaision, I'd push it to 4 or 5, but that'd be over quite a stretch and there'd have to be food involved

_Redzer_

Don't really know now as drugs are more my game these days, and you generally don't drink as much while on them, but I used to swamp about 10 pints and a few whiskeys throughout the night and stay in reasonable form.

I used skull back 10 pints and the like, now I'd cradle 2 or 3 drinks for the night. Prefer it that way. I enjoy the taste of drink and can get into a good zone fairly quick.

The same, don't really drink any more because of meds, but four pints would be my limit for a night.

Sorry but anything?? You have two pints of all pintable drinks? No you haven't and I don't get this I've never acquired a taste for alcohol!! What drinks were you having, everything isn't pints you know!! Holier than thou attitude right there!!

KwackerJack

After about 10 Bourbons I'm quite happy to go asleep.....like right now!

Pints are fine but boy do I get a Hang over!! Rarely have a hangover from Bourbon or Rum thank god!

ROAAAR

Yeah I think about 16 pints is roughly a standard night out.
Sounds like a lot really saying I had 16 pints but it's not really considering the time frame. A pint every 30 mins or so on average I'd say would be the norm for a lot of young lads anyway.
Monday to Thursday I wouldn't have a drop.

Talib Fiasco

Mostly drink spirits so a full bottle of cheap vodka would be standard enough practice plus numerous shots after. If I had to go pub drinking anywhere from 10-16 or so. Not a one for pint drinking for long periods though.

Bobby Baccala

If it's at a gaff party I'd put away 20 bottles and whatever else I can get my hands on

Down the pub 4 pitchers would be my limit, that's about 16 pints

I tend to stay away from spirits, drink them too fast and get way too fúcked up too fast. They also don't mix too well with other.. ahem..recreational substances
