How much beer can you drink?

Agathon · July 12, 2003, 21:39

I can drink quite a lot, which is why I'm so poor. I think that rich people like MtG should be taxed to provide me with free beer...

But back OT.

I've never tried to test how much I could take but I was at a party a while a go and sat on a chair and piled bottles up next to me. When I went home there were 15 there and I was still in reasonable shape.

So how many before you fall over?

I can drink a hell of a lot (and that's not intended as a boast - trying to get drunk is v expensive). Can be funny when you want to shock people though - went to atequila bar at uni jus before we broke up for the summer and downed 7 shots at once, lol

Beer I can't drink masses of though - just makes me feel bloated to be honest.

But the bloaty floaty feeling is the whole point of drinking beer. How many other drugs can make you feel like a Zeppelin?

Probably acid could. Or any other hallucinogen..
I can't drink any beer. I think it tastes irredeemably foul. Gin, on the other hand, I can slug down with confidence. I have very low tolerance in general though, due to my infrequent drinking(about once a month).

Vodka and soft drinks can be pleasantly cheap

A lot of it depends on the beer. When I'm drinking normally I like heavy ale, but when I'm drinking to get drunk it becomes impossible for me to stick to them -- too expensive and too heavy -- so I switch to Natural Lite or Bud Lite. Based on experience, I can drink about three ales in an evening, or about 2-3 crap beers per hour (e.g. last New Year's Eve I went through a case of Natty over the course of about 8-12 hours).

Beer will never make me fall over. I drink myself sober.

Hueij · July 12, 2003, 21:58

It depends. If I had a good meal before drinking I can take lot...

I also fell of my bike after 15 glasses...

In short, there is no easy answer...

Hueij,

Your avatar makes me feel kinda funny.

Asher · July 12, 2003, 22:24

Hmm. Maybe 5 before I'm drunk.

Agathon · July 12, 2003, 22:27

Y'know Asher, I'm not picking on you but you might get banned for that sig.

Asher · July 12, 2003, 22:29

Commies and their censorship!

Maybe you shouldn't have taken that last beer...

Also the mods - re: your sig.

Asher · July 12, 2003, 22:54

I can't control the words coming out of somebody else's mouth.

Kidicious · July 12, 2003, 22:56

Asher,

It's not really a very good sig anyway.

Asher · July 12, 2003, 22:57

Coming from the man with a Chavez sig.

That's true. But posting material from a thread, which a moderator closed and mentioned bans because there were too many personal attacks, in a thinly veiled attempt to continue the thread by mocking Drake (a personal attack) is not likely to be viewed well by the said thread-closing moderator.

The sig has been in place since well before he closed the thread, and it's a quote from Drake. So if he finds it insulting to himself, that only adds to the appropriateness of the sig.

If Mike has a problem with it, he can PM me.
