Rodders Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 nowhere near as much as some of you guys, but I'm a lightweight, I used to have a very narrow window between happily sloshed and sickeningly hammered. probably during an all day lock in challenge at a student pub when I was a student. Ambitiously took a couple of books to study, bu that went out the window by about 3pm. Had one of everything in the bar, was something like 1 x guinness, 1 x strongbow 5/6 x beers and lagers on tap - including a revolting Carling - that was saved towards the end by which time I was drunk enough to absorb the nastiness - one of each of the bottled beers in the fridge, and one of all the spirits with a mixer. By the end as the spirit drinks were short I was then electing to go on doubles once those had been finished. As it was approximately 13 hours of drinking I was remarkably fine, think I drank some of them slowly enough to absorb it + ensured I had two fat pub meals as well. Was quite good fun now looking back, I had friends on rotation duty coming by during the day for company ( of the three of us who started the challenge, one - mr bravado - bailed after 6 hours, the other felt sick a little later and went on to the soft drinks, which seemed like cheating really ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I can drink, but some of the numbers mentioned in this thread are ridiculous. Are you SURE you're telling the truth? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Probably 7 pints but I can do without it to be honest. No good for your health. Seen too many people die because of alcohol consumption. Sorry to be a killjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 i was on it last night and compared to what my nights used to be like it was a pretty normal night but i feel like shit today, had about 8 or 9 pints and 5 or 6 jager bombs which is pretty normal going but i just cant do it like i used to. I never bomb Jager, that stuff is there to be drunk straight, in weatherspoons though they charge you about £5.50 for a double With lemonade, tastes great, struggle with anything with red bull in it, especially jäger bombs that are like 4/5 gulps to get rid of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted October 6, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted October 6, 2014 Despite my earlier claim (which was a joke just to reiterate) I am a total lightweight these days. In my fat uni days I could put them away without even noticing. 3 or 4 pints these days and I'm tipsy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I can drink, but some of the numbers mentioned in this thread are ridiculous. Are you SURE you're telling the truth?

Rodders Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I can drink, but some of the numbers mentioned in this thread are ridiculous. Are you SURE you're telling the truth? All I can say is that when I was 19-21 my body was sturdier then. I was rarely a heavy drinker, but sustaining it over a long period of time was no issue for me, only the times when drinks were crammed into a 3 hour burst did issues arise.

villa4europe Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 And me, but I'm no longer a teenager where claiming to drink 10 pints before feeling anything impresses anyone 10 pints? That's £40... What I find is that after 4 pints I'm slurring but I can soldier on, 1am and losing vision I can soldier on, been a while since I've had a pizza or taxi night, or even a free lift home cos the guy in the pizza shop feels sorry for me, miss those nights That said I did get drunk at the libertines in the summer, lose everyone, not remember where my mini bus home was and have to sleep on a wall outside the train station until the 1st train home, wasn't fun, my drinking has been curtailed since then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted October 6, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2014 I think there comes a point (or there should come a point!) when you realise being absolutely legless and £60+ down, then waking up feeling like death shit on your brain and being useless for 2-3 days afterward, is just not worth the trouble. After that point, you drink less and as such it takes less to get you drunk. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 thats where im at now, im on the border line of knocking the shit on the head because saturday night i spent a bit and im still tired from it. i said to the missus half hour ago that i dont enjoy going out get hammered anymore and find it boring and i truly believe it wont be long before having a night out becomes a very rare thing.

rodders0223 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) 2 pints and I am feeling nicely tipsy. 4 pints and I am well on my way to being drunk. 1 or 2 shots and I am well hyper now. 2 more pints and I am ****. 1 Big John's and I am on the shitter.

Rugeley Villa Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 two pints can just completely change me, not tipsy off them but my whole persona can just change. ive always gained confidence from alcohol so thats probably the reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you there. Around certain people and small groups I am fine but 2 pints can take me from being timid not saying a word on a table of 8 to chatting to everyone.

After that point, you drink less and as such it takes less to get you drunk. Yep. I used to be able to consume a lot, not anymore. I can go a month without a drink. I don't drink at home anymore, just when I go out. 4 pints and i'm seeing double! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumerican Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I kinda like that a £5 bottle of plonk is more than enough these days . I shudder to think what I have pissed away in the last 2 decades. It has to easily be a 5 figure sum . A minimum of £25k anyway, at a guess .
