    Was never into drinking at home for my first 40 years, in fact always said I'd avoid it, but as baby landed in 7 months ago have had to remove myself from the pub and get used to cans in the house. So far the most I've managed is 10, how about you?

    I had forgotten, I drank a bottle of vodka about 2 months back when I was giving out about not getting out any more. That was a bad weekend.

    I recall one even drinking a full bottle of Bushmills whiskey , think it was going cheep for 18 euro in lidl. Yes a large bottle but not the huge sized ones. I did the same with a bottle of gin once followed by a red wind I'm not sure how much. Think I went out after too after that as I was well tanked up but prolly didn't have much as I was pretty full. Yes , I can drink a lot. I've given up now in case anyone is concerned lol

    An 8 pack of Heineken is the most I reckon unless I have friends over.

    I haven't drank from a can since Mosney '97, when my tennis partner pressed a Coca Cola to my brow, as refugees coming over the crest of a hill sang the Battle Hymn of the Republic. O Jesus.

    I've been half-cut on six-euro grapes of wrath ever since.

    Five cans of Carlsberg and a half bottle of wine. My wife drank the other half bottle.

    A small baby could have a bottle every three hours , so over a weekend the baby might drink ... erm , 8 times 3 by .. how many hours in a weekend ? Maybe 30 bottles ? Your baby is harder than you.

    I wouldn't say I'd be able for 8 cans but I did finish off a 20 box of bottles.

    They go down far too easily

    Edit. That was a once off. It will never happen again.

    Just in case that Minimum pricing crowd is on boards.

    Poitín. I'm not sure how much I drank but I remember thinking 'oh shit' and then woke up the next morning hammered and spent the day retching. Haven't drank spirits since. Stick to the beer.

    Too much.

    Spent most of the following day discovering God while hugging the toilet bowl, wishing I was dead, promising to never ever drink again.


    Told the story to a few lads in the pub couple weeks later, over a pint.

    An uncle of mine used to use Poitin mixed in a spray for cleaning dog kennels. Said it was very effective.

    I've woken up from a house party to see a bottle of poitin having stripped the paint from a sideboard along a line from where the condensation dripped.

    I wouldn't even touch the stuff these days tbh. There's nothing in it you cannot get from a good healthy overdose of Burgundy!

    It's mad stuff. I wouldn't touch it ever again after that experience. I didn't even think I was drinking a lot of it.

    I thought about passing a comment like yours but then I thought to myself no, who the hell am I to judge anyone.

    Last year I drank 14 cans of guinness while up all night playing online poker.

    oh get over yourself... since when is it unacceptable for a drunk person to be in the same house as a baby? They're not necessarily looking after the little tyke.

    Well drunks and babies do have some things in common, both speak gibberish, can't really stand up, some even wet themselves.

    Quick, someone call social services - OP is undoubtedly going to juggle his baby with watermelons while standing on the roof of the house.
