    How much can you drink?

    I am not a lightweight, thanks to many years of liver abuse! Which I am not proud of! lol!

    Lager: 8 pints and I get up and try to pee in the wardrobe in the middle of the night (Sorry darling! Its a man thing!)
    Red Wine: 2+ bottles and I'm nicely merry!
    Guiness: 8 pints and I wake up in the morning feeling like I have had a drink!
    Vodka and anything other than Redbull: As much as I want! (Seriously)
    Vodka and redbull: Lots and lots, but I wake up feeling "shiny" all over! Too much caffiene and Taurine! Steer well clear!
    Jaegermeister: Please no, no no!

    Had a really unpleasant incident on Stella (Wife beater) many years ago that suffice to say left me rather damp and embaressed when I woke up in the morning! Never going there again! Yuck! Thankfully since then I have developed a self preservation instinct with regard to drinking!

    How much can you guys drink? What are the effects? What do you avoid?
    Beer is life, life is good!

    I rarely drink, but I have a high tolerance to the pop. Could put away pretty much what you've mentioned without falling over \ pissing myself I reckon.

    Don't bother much these days though. Apart from JD on an empty stomach. Few of those with nowt in my belly and its wobbly walking time.

    8 pints is fine for me, I can walk home from the pub after drinking that without any undue disorderliness. 10 and things can start to deteriorate. 12 and I can suffer memory lapses the next day.

    Similar story with wine really. One bottle doesn't have much of an effect. Two and I'm as drunk as I need to be- any more and I'm pushing it.

    I really don't know how much I can drink when it comes to spirits- they give me such a buzz from the off that I quickly lose track of how many I've had. I reckon half a litre would just give me a bad hangover, but a 70cl bottle would be a definate blackout and serious illness the next day.

    Errrm I drink too much..... can easily down a bottle of red wine in a night, on top of 5-6 bottles of Stella

    Errrr if it's just lager I can easily drink up to 10 bottles depending if it's weak stuff ( Carlsberg easily 10 bottles ) Stella 8 or 9

    Not sure about spirits! let me buy a bottle of Vodka and i'll tell ya I can drink loads and loads of Baileys without effect.

    Aske me again at Christmas and i'll tell ya exactly how much Vodka, JD etc I can drink in a night

    i dont really see the point of going out and drinking 5+ pints! costs too much and you dont really even need to drink to have a good time.

    i would normally have 2-3 pints of ale throughout the course of the evening. i can handle my drink so im sure i could survive with drinking more, i just dont see the point. each to their own i suppose.

    im not your typical student when it comes to drinking.

    I used to think it was important how much I could drink.
    Remember, healthy adult male :21 units of alcohol per week max including a couple of days alcohol free each week. Females, 14 per week.
    When I was 18 - 20 i could drink that in a night (well, 2 nights maybe) and thought it was funny.

    We are genuinely looking at a society that is going to be having very serious issues with alcohol-related harm over the next 10 - 20 years, it worries me.

    Lecture over.

    Al...co...hol?

    I don't drink (and nor do I intend to). Now that I think about it, I know of only two people I've ever met that also subscribe to that attitude.

    My record stands at a 4 cans of lager then a 70cl bottle of vodka, and not being hugely drunk, able to walk straight, hold a normal conversation and not act like a tit!

    Sometimes I'm wreaked off 1/2 of a bottle of vodka tho, sometimes its 2/3, all depends on what I eat and how much I've been drinking lately, record was held after a long drinking feast where my tolerance was quite strong, normally have 1/2 a bottle of vodka (35cl) before I hit a club tho, then a couple there Only a couple of Im down the pub tho, maybe its too much? I duno :\

    older and wiser...drinking history:

    Managed to drink 1 litre of whiskey in about 3 hours one night and was in reasonable condition in the morning.

    Drank 5 pints in 30mins - that was at lunching time.

    In New York went out at 10am and finished drinking at 6am the next morning - during that time I encountered Jaegermeister (the devil has taken liquid form) have no clue how much I drank - remember been in a dinner at 6:30am and trying to get one of the locals to help me say cawffee in a Brooklyn accent.

    I topped out at about 8 pints for a night out on something about 5.0% in my mid 20's

    Had the original alcoholic lemonade: Adsa own brand lemonade mixed with ethanol (had a friend who worked at a drinks company) - possibly the most drunk I've ever been without throwing up.

    If anyone is unit counting it does look to clever
    1 litre of whiskey is about 40units
    8 pints (5.0%) is ~ 20 units

    Now I no longer go out to get drunk... I find it's the people you are with that make the night. If I was out and none of my friends were there I would not enjoy the night, on the flip side if my friends were there and I did drink I will enjoy the night...

    I dont think it really matters how much you drink, all i know is im quite a heavy drinker and the way i usually do things its about 8-10 pints, maybe a few shots in between ie. sambuca, aftershock or tequila, and when i think ive had enough ill calm myself down with something disgusting like smirnoff ice. But lately i have been known to drink vodka and reb bull by the pint. Which really messes with my head the next morning. Luckily ive never had an incident where.

    A) i havent been able to get home
    B) got into a pub brawl
    C) peed myself
    D) forgot what i got upto the night before

    My drinking is the stuff of legends and overdrafts. 3 liters of vodka or jack d's, no problem,

    I was diagnosed with liver damage 3 days after my 17th. So I stopped totally for a while. Just drink like a 'normal' person now, well most of the time
