This quantity comes from Fresh meat and it was 147 bottles of wine over 2 days for four people two ladies. They poured most of it away.

Anyway ignoring work lets say a single man had the challenge of drinking 147 bottles within 1 month. 5 a day every day basically.

Question is would his liver st down or would it be pretty close ? Health implications of carrying out such a stupid challenge what would they be?


A dr friend of mine knows a fat lady who sadly drinks 3 bottles a day every day ad nothing will stop her! Silly girl.

No, I don't think it's possible, it's almost double my personal best.

Back when I were a lad, the father of a pair of brothers I knew well buggered off with his secretary.

This did not, as one would expect, go down well.

Chap had a wine collection.

Well, he had a seperate temperature controlled wine cellar and a fk off collection, to be fair.

We spent the summer throwing it down our necks with naive abandon.

I still shiver when I think of necking 30 year old St Emilion from a pint pot.

It was worth hundreds of thousands. It all went.

He was a little miffed.

I don't think you could do it.

For a lost weekend, yeah I could do it for a couple of days. But day 13 or 14, I would guess you'd be retching up your stomach lining.

Not keen to try to be honest

I'd guess its physically possible for a seasoned drinker. Not a good idea though.

Very easy to do but you would end up yellowish and with acute liver failure not nice.

Sounds like a pretty good summer to me.

I have known some alcoholics who can drink fearsome amounts so i fully believe there is someone who could do this. 5 bottle a day i could probably do 2-3 days before i felt to ill to continue.

I did used to serve in a pub where one of the regulars drank a minimum of 15pints of Guiness every day and had done for 6-7 years, it wasn't until around the 10th pint that he started to seem a little merry and on a weekend when he didn't need to get up for work he could demolish 25+ in 12hours.

In guessing there was a fair bit of downing rather than enjoying the finer aspects of the wine wink

We were utter peasants.

Open bottle. Try. Hmm, not keen. Pour down sink. Get next bottle.

Shameful.

I think I'm doing myself no good when I realise that I am averaging a bottle a night sometimes with the addition of a beer or two. Had a day off the booze yesterday and boy did I sleep better.

A few days, or maybe day on day off I could do five a day for a week or two. However over any length of time it'd make me very poorly, I'm sure. Month. No way.

As I get older the hangovers get worse. If I am working the next day I tend not to drink as apart from the headache, dehydration and mood swings, it's the sts that make the day difficult to say the least.

That has gotta be a sign that my liver is not happy.

In fact I find that the hangover can last well into the second day so when I drink I do suffer for it and I don't seem to get fun drunk any more. My Dad, who is 23 years my senior, used to drink a lot until recently and claims that he never got hangovers. He certainly always seemed bright as a button the next day.

Sorry, veered off topic there.

I love wine but how the hell do they come to these crazy figures that some wine is worth. No matter how much money i had / didnt have it just cant be worth it.

Man points for slurping it from a pint pot.

A normal person couldnt drink that much. Maybe for a few days / week but after that i doubt many people could carry on.

Maybe a alcoholic could manage it.

I go on taste and Tescos do a nice little range of Reds. All smooth and quite gluggable. People have bought me expensive bottles that have tasted like petrol.

I was working on a show the other day where they had a barman mixing a £5500 cocktail. The bulk of the mix came from a bottle of brandy that was something like 300 years old. £5000 a tot.

I knocked the table and nearly sent the bottle crashing to the ground yikes

My mates dad has a collection of whisky that is also worth (what I think is) silly money. One of his bottles is still in the box and is the last remaining unopened bottle in the world of a desired limited-edition.
As ever, anything is worth what someone will pay...
