Rugeley Villa Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Once I hit 4 or 5 pints I've got the taste and feel the buzz. Once I hit 8 I'm pissed as in pissed. 10 pints I'm forgetting stuff but I'd be surprised if I could get to 15 pints, 20 no chance. Now spirits are a different kettle of fish. In my southern comfort days I could do 10 double and not be hammered. I'm a terrible drunk without cocaine and as people know coke can make you drink a lot more. Once I had a family my hangovers seemed to last forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Airborne Battalions we would then go out and drink 8 pints in under 2 hours pretty much straight after ! Could do 4 in an hour but then only 2 the next hour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V01 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 22 minutes ago, Xela said: I think the most pints I ever managed in one night was 10 or 11... Guinness both times. Once at the Hard Rock Cafe in Birmingham (was shitting tar the next day) and the other in The Crown in Belfast on a mates stag. in terms of spirits, on one night out some work colleague reckoned I guzzled 20 plus JD & Cokes... over the course of about 12 hours, mind you. Nowadays... 2 pints and i'm yawning and wake up with a stonking headache. Most I've done in a session is 25 pints of Guinness, Euro 2004 in the local from open until close. Don't remember much else. Spirits wise I polished off a bottle of JD at home at a little get together and blamed everyone else for drinking it, that was a messy night. Now it's a bit different I barely go out/drink, might have a few bitter shandies or couple of bottles of cider but it hits me when I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted June 23, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted June 23, 2017 The hangovers are what do me in these days. I'm a relative lightweight too now. In my uni days it would take a dozen pints to get me properly drunk. Now I'd say half a dozen gets me well on my way. But the hangovers now are ridiculous. I'm 31 and if I have a heavy night then I'm out of action for the whole following day. And I mean all of it. There was a time when I'd go out on a Friday, get absolutely blotted, and be up at 7 the following morning and playing rugby by 9 perfectly fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Fat Frogs which is a very irish thing: Blue WKD, Smirnoff Ice and Orange Bacardi Breezer pored into 2 pint glasses and shared with a friend Is it? I used to drink them at uni (£1 a drink) all the time and I'm not Irish nor got the notion from Irish people. (Genuine question, as never heard it mentioned as an Irish drink before).

PompeyVillan Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 British drinking culture is mental. I like drinking but equally hate it. Not quite sure why we like it so much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 definitely was in poland last weekend and you get the impression there was a lot of drinking going on with beer that was a lot stronger than ours but the idea that you sit down and wait for a waiter to come over and take your order and then 20-30 minutes later your beer arrives...**** that! im not 100% sure that we do drink more than everyone else but we certainly throw it down quicker than anyone else, we're on a mission, none of this sitting round enjoying yourself nonsense, you're on drink number 3 before drink number 1 even kicks in i'm watching the rugby in the morning, i'll be pissed by 11am, train in to worcester at 12 to carry on, i'll be in bed by 7pm 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 15 hours ago, BOF said: Happened in our local sports club when they got a new tap installed. People (briefly) went from drinking 4.3% to 5.7% thinking "it's only ~1%". I had to explain that it's effectively double the strength, on the basis that the (typical) body can get rid of about 3% per hour, meaning the amount left in your system has gone from a residual 1.3% up to 2.7%. More than double. No wonder people were falling around the place its only effectively double after that first pint and only if you drink at a rate of one pint per hour. makes more sense to calculate the units drank, minus one for each hour drinking. say you drink 5 pints of weak lager over 2 hours. that's 10 units drank, minus the 2 processed meaning 8 still left in the body. 5 pints of strong lager over two hours is 15 units drank, minus the two leaving 13 in the body. 8 is 61% of 13, close to the difference between a 4% lager and 6% lager at 66%. At a higher rate of drinking the breakdown of alcohol becomes less significant, and at a lower rate more significant - but then at a lower rate the likelihood of being drunk is much reduced.

maqroll Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 So, the other day, the roofers destroyed my vegetable garden. Yesterday morning at 7AM, they banged on my door asking me to move my car. I did, and then it got towed from a usually safe spot. $110 to get my car, and I was late for work. **** words removed AND clearings in the woods AND rocket polishers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
