A friend of mine downed a full bottle of Glenfiddich in under 30 seconds and I watched him do it. Consider yourself beaten
Did he die?It's not big and it's certainly not funny, I was about 14 at the time, went to an older kids party where there was alcohol, I can drink fast, some older kids cottoned on to this, so kept getting my do strawpeados, I was very drunk at this point. THen apparenty someone challenged me to do it with a bottle of whisky. I passed out, I had the AED on the way to hospital and my stomach pumped. It was a very very scary waking up in a hospital bed, something I wouldn't wish on anyone.
Never drank whiske since, even the smell of it makes me want to hurl.
im 23 so at the prime of my drinking abilities. At Uni I was a big drinker, easily 8 cans of wife beater, then half a bottle of vodka then we would hit town. Always 2 shots of sambucca to kick start the night, then its jd cokes from there all night. Yes by this point I dont know my elbow from my arse, but the hangovers actually weren't that bad. I dread the day when im smashed after 4 pints........

I generally drink a bottle of spirit on a night out. 70cl of Vodka. Wake up the next day feeling great.
Once did with with dark rum. NEVER again.
Bizarre isn't it, I can drink half a bottle of vodka and feel fine, do the same with whisky or rum and I'm falling in the bushes in the garden.Once did with with dark rum. NEVER again.

Guinness is definitely the way forward for a session drinking pints.

I believe it's due to the impurities of the dark spirits. Unlike vodka which is triple distilled or such like.For 24 hours after the dark rum I threw up several times and didn't move from the sofa the entire time. Terrible.
All that liquid going in...........must mean it has to come out - somewhere.
10 pints is a lot, do these people sweat it out? or like me spend half the time siphoning the python.
Did a pub crawl when I was a student, 5 1/2 pints (ill for two days) and seventeen trips for a slash. (SWMBO still has the list - last on the liquid in, first on the liquid out)

After 3 or 4 I know I have had a drink, then it depends on the rate I drink at. I can quite happily cope with an 11am until 3am session (and still be sensible enough to know what I am doing) as long as it is mixed in with distractions such as food, strippers, and maybe footy, where the average number of pints/spirits sank will be no more than 2 an hour.
If the drinking is squeezed into an evening I can easily be in a very messy state in a few hours on what usually amounts to less total intake than an all day session, the process is accelerated by Sambuca.
So I can drink ten pints and still feel sober, I just need about 8 hours to do it.

Frankly every annoying bore I've ever met who says "I can drink 10 pints and still be sober" is talking st.
What they actually mean, if only they knew it is "I'm such a degenerate binge drinker I'm used to what it feels like to be 10 pints in now I'm hanging off your shoulder alternating between trying to kiss and fight you, my wallet it empty, the crotch of my jeans is soaked in piss after 6 semi-accurate post pee shakes and whilst I think I’m the most popular man in the world everyone is trying to get the hell away from me" but I’m “sober” so I've move onto the shorts now.
I'm not a big drinker, I had my moments as a younger man, but I have the terrible affliction of actually remembering the night before after a night on the tiles, not the edited highlights. I actually love a nice beer, Hoegarden and Leffe being currents faves, might have 3 on a night out. I'll have a nice beer buzz on, love shooting the st with my friends and my GF, get home, satisfy my beloved, get up the next day a go out of my MTB or do something with my family.
Rather than falling out of a taxi, throwing up, passing out and spending the day on the sofa feeling like hammered crap, watching box sets too scared to turn on my mobile, whilst avoiding the beer cringes.

I used to be able to drink ten pints plus and happily get up the next morning to work - and work effectively. However, this was a long time ago now, and three, maybe four, is my limit these days.
Those men of my age or older who can still 'put it away' all seem to be the ones with red faces, massive bellies, no money and no life.
Happy to be a lightweight!

I think you need some new mates!
I do have another social circle, who are more relaxed...... Barring the 2 or 3 of them who habitually drink drive and another one who thinks it's all well and good to spark-up a joint in your house/garden when at a BBQ.The aforementioned characters were promptly told not to do any of these activities when on my property or giving me a lift. Disagree with both strongly.
