I've never drank as much as ten pints before, nor would I attempt to! 4-5 pints is my limit before I switch over to spirits.
Lightweight! wink

I know, that If I'm lying on my back, choking on my own vomit, that I should only have one, maybe 2 more drinks...then after that I'll stick to shorts.

4-5 pints is about right for me. I find when I am properly drunk I wish I could go back to feeling tipsy again.

4 pints of lager (esp wifebeater) and I'm singing the pixie song. No idea why.

I used to quite happily polish off a bottle of wine to myself before heading out on the town, but these days I would be asleep by glass 3. Same goes with shooters, I used to be able to have 8-10 and feel soberish, these days any more than 2 and I am gaga.

I tend to have to stick to vodka or 'alcopops' these days, and normally feel sober right up to the point where I go to the toilet for the first time...it all goes wrong after than normally hehe

There is a 50 odd year old farmer that goes into my local pub. He drinks, and I get you not, 12 - 15 pints of guiness in one session. I have only ever seen him drunk once in all the time I have being going in there and that was a Sunday afternoon/Sunday night session.
Guinness is funny stuff though and has become my "session drink" of choice. I could quite happily put away 8 or more pints of Guinness and - whilst I wouldn't for a second claim to be sober - I'd still be far from falling-down drunk.

If I tried that with a similar strength lager or cider, I'd be telling the nearest lamp-post how he was my besht mate.

Weird.

Very true, I have done it (ten) could maybe still do it, but would very likely be sick on my shoes.

Now I am 40, I find the hangovers aren't worth the bother of drinking heavily. Speeding in this context kills me. Four pints in an hour and I am a bit wobbly.

Given what 3-4 pints of Guinness does to my digestive tract, I can only assume that farmer giles has a high tolerance of chemical warfare strength pongs due to his occupation.

I was, in my Uni days a big drinker. Speed and volume, that was me! Without doubt, there were times when I managed 10 pints without falling about.

Also, I can say from experience that a crate of Corona (24 bottles) seems to do bugger all except give me a headache. This was verified on more than one occasion, and not just by me.

These days though, I can feel rather stumbly after anything from 2 to 6. I can still manage a pint quickly, but that's about it.

True, it does make you st tarmacadam, but that's all part of the "Guinness experience".

Think it has to do with booze tolerance levels, and probably being younger too. Would be a while til i'd get used to ten pints hehe

Although managed a case of beer on a few occassions - spaced out over time, not all at once

I got underway at about 1 yesterday at a village event having been up and driving a van around since 2:30am. Tucked away 7 Doom Bars then went home to watch the GP over a bottle and a half of vino. Didn't feel pissed at all. Other times I can knock back two ciders and feel pissed. Odd.

Thing is someone who can drink that much must drink every day in order to keep their tolerance up. I can't see someone going out once a month an knocking down 10 pints.

I can't do 10 pints and feel sober, I normally drink bottles to be honest (330ml), I can quite happily drink for 13 hours on saturday watching the football, with maybe a break of an hour for some food and feel relatively ok, until the morning.

But if I went out at about 9-10pm, at 3am I would be hammered and call it a night, I think alot depends on the atmosphere and what you are actually doing as well.

Some people are more self concious about been drunk and try to hide it, where as others don't care.

You are right though, it is not impressive to be able to drink that. Get your drink, pay your tab and fk off, no one cares how much you can drink...

Same thing here, the only time I can drink that much is at a BBQ. If you pace yourself over 8 hours or so you don't really feel it. On a night out I'm bloated after 3 or 4 pints and lose interest in drinking after that.
