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.

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.

Links234 · 04-04-2015 02:25AM

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

Adyx · 04-04-2015 03:22AM

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).

I really think the majority of posts here are bull****e.

16 pints ...yea go on.

A 70 cl bottle of vodka and some beers after.....of course, and you drove everybody home, got chips and work the next day.

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 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

It's hardly that remarkable.

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.

Galwayguy35 · 04-04-2015 06:51AM

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.

Penny Tration · 04-04-2015 07:03AM

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.

Mister Vain · 04-04-2015 07:14AM

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.

L'prof · 04-04-2015 07:20AM

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 · 04-04-2015 07:34AM

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.

osarusan · 04-04-2015 07:58AM

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

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.

Señor Fancy Pants · 04-04-2015 08:29AM

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.

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.

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

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

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

As the Steve Coogan character says "when I am lying on the floor in my own vomit I know it's time to go on the shorts"

04-04-2015 09:05AM

Depends on what you define limit as. Going for a quick pint during the week would be around 5 or 6 pints. An average night out would usually be 8 to 10 pints and a good few whiskeys or vodkas (especially if it's getting towards closing time and I'm not drunk enough). Serious night out, day session, wedding etc 12 pints+ and a shorts at the end. Absolute limit who knows, had 16 pints/cans a few times probably the most was 16 pints and 4 or 5 jäger bombs in one session.

saintsaltynuts · 04-04-2015 09:13AM

I could drink 12 pints but afterwards I could end up sleep walking around a hotel or the house afterwards not knowing where the feck I am.

whatdoicare · 04-04-2015 09:19AM

Two glasses of wine and I'm done but then I rarely drink and I drink for pleasure rather than to get drunk.

I don't really like the feeling of being drunk, it doesn't make me feel good or happy. Mostly I just feel horrible and depressed. Puts a huge downer on my night. Two wines leaves me merry and happy. I like that.

LDN_Irish · 04-04-2015 09:21AM

I went absolutely mental last night and had 4 pint bottles. Had a nice cup of hot chocolate on the comedown. Mad ting.

boobar · 04-04-2015 09:47AM

Half a bottle of wine is enough for me.

On the rare nights out, 3 or 4 pints. Any more than that and I feel horrendous. Can't stand that hungover feeling anymore. Much rather get up and try and make something of the day
