    Does After Hours count?

    I actually initially started a thread about being banned from places, then veered onto me drinking 17 pints of Beamish, and I actually thought that the drinking record thread would be better. :)

    I seem to recall being barred from a pub up north several times. Can't quite remember why... although, something about keg tossing competitions comes to mind.

    Why do some people look at alcoholism as an achievement?

    Maybe they've achieved little else?

    I know when I should stop. How could you even enjoy 17 pints?

    I'm 190 cm tall and 100 kg

    A certain "former" Ulster rugby player holds the record for drinking with perfect memory recall

    Not sure you belong here in fairness? I don’t drink and am curious without feeling the need to judge

    Beamish is only 4.1%. It might as well be non alcoholic.

    If you feel like a few pints go and have them.
    If you don't, don't, end of story.

    People tend to exaggerate anyway, but when it comes to tallying the amount of drink they consumed the night before, that's where they really fcukin shine! You can basically take about a third off any figure you're given.

    12 Cans of Dutch from about 4pm to roughly 2am one Halloween. Was about 17 at the time. Wouldn't remotely be able to do it nowadays.

    I don't count but was able to keep track one night in college a good few years ago. We got six drink vouchers for the local nightclub. I drank six cans before the nightclub and then 'cashed in' the six vouchers while there. Ended up buying two more pints after that. So the count finished up at 14. Decent drinking for an 18 year old who weighed **** all. I'd say I've surpassed that a few times but who knows. When you get older you'll lowball your drinking anyway!!

    45 pints, then Maureen would have the breakfast on, then I'd have 10 more.

    Wade Boggs drank 50 beers on a cross-country flight and then absolutely destroyed the Seattle Mariners the next day.

    May he rest in peace.

    False. It was 107.

    Still nowhere near André the Giant though.

    Drank a case of Guinness in one night many Christmas's ago. Had a massive dinner beforehand and was drunk after it but not locked

    Imagine the state of your guts after 17 pints of Beamish.

    If you drink 17 pints, you don't need to imagine - you'll get to see at some stage the next day.

    Pretty sure I've hit 20 pints a few times.
    I've had other sessions with 60+ units. Something like 3 bottles of wine, 8 cans of strong cider then split a bottle of vodka.
    A slab would be a decent night for me these days.

    The number of beers is actually highly disputed. Some say 50, some teammates said 60, some said as many as 70 beers. Which, to be honest, is an absolutely insane amount of beer. Nobody can drink that much.

    Not sure of the exact number, but i remember asking the barman to pour me another pint, and him with jaw dropped saying "there are no more pints"

    Two sessions I've heard of by famous people- Ollie Reed drank 27 pints in a pub in Wexford years ago and Andre the Giant drank 130 bottles of beer in one sitting.
    I don't live in my home town anymore but I have heard this from several people that a Canadian fella was on the beer for a long weekend in one of the local pubs and he downed 30 cans of Budweiser a day for 3 days. So 90 cans of that piss and this is supposedly verified by the barman who served him.

    16 pints of Carlsberg for me. 4pm to 2am with a good friend of mine, playing pool all night.

    There was that one time in college, six-pack of bulmers, half bottle of whiskey, another 6 pack of dutch gold, then ran down the halls of the student accomodation with my remaining booze.
    Woke up covered in ketchup and with bottle and cans everywhere. Spent the next week in a dribbling haze.
