How much booze can you handle?

[Stu]

And be honest. I think this is new anyway. Most threads seem to concern themselves with brands of booze, not the golden question of manhood on everyones mind.

Formulating an answer ...

[King Gizzard]

All I know from the time I actually drank more than a pint in a night I had about 5 bottles of magners and wasn't even merry

(don't know where this goes on the scale)

[InOne]

It's weird with me. It seems to depend on my mood. Sometimes I can handle loads or sometimes I end up being sick fairly quickly, but still carry on drinking anyway. I'm quite a slow drinker really, if I'm a home vokda or cans on a night can last me a while

[Shaun]

I'm frustratingly difficult to get drunk...nights out are very expensive for me :(

However, a few glasses of wine always works. Mixers, spirits and beer though takes a while.

I think how much you've had to eat always affects it too.

[Iceman]

Depends on the booze, Vodka could knock me for 6 in an hour. I could drink Cider all day and be fine, Budweiser seems to just blow the head off me after 6 pints. anything else is fairly hit and miss.

[Niall]

I've never been drunk but I had a couple glasses of wine once and everything became hilarious so I guess not much? :shrug:

[Boothy]

I start feeling it after about 4 pints of Stella and I'm properly pissed after about 7.

I don't like getting totally out of it though so I drink fairly slowly.

[Stu]

I'll divide it in two. Mentally it goes straight to the head. I go tipsy straight away. Physically though I can keep going without getting sick and usually do.

8 tins of lager is the default night in. I'm a happy drunk but not totally sloshed after them. Anything less and I'm left wanting more

A night out involves 4 tins getting pumped at home, a small bottle of vodka [naggin, not sure does that term exist in England] w/Red Bull at a friends house, 3 or 4 pints of Guiness at the pub, and then I just order two shots at a time at the clubs and just go apeshit after an unspecified amount of time.

I do love that totally gone feeling you get. I remember asking my mate to order me food at the takeaway when the rest of us went upstairs to the flat. The second I got into the flat I started tearing stuff up wondering where my chicken was. Makes no sense but it's great, like.

I drink way too fast too. I cannot go slow at all.

I'm quite like this actually, I do stupid hilarious things when im drunk.

[Lee.]

I could drink any one of you under the table... No argument!

[Kerry]

I'm a slow drinker but can drink too much for a lass. Cider is my choice. Strongbow and blackcurrent. Can't drink spirits. One sends me dippy

The worst thing ever is left wanting more. Like if you have a couple in the pub and you go home feeling a bit mellow. You just wanna go for it and finish the night off lol

What happens when we get there though? :evilgrin:

[MTVN]

It seems to depend, sometimes if I haven't eaten and I'm drinking quickly I'll start getting drunk after 4 or 5 pints or so, but other times if I'm pacing myself I can drink quite a lot. I used to be pretty bad with my drink but I'm a lot better now, if I'm going out I normally start off with 4 or 5 cans of lager & then move on to spirits & mixers and sometimes the odd jager bomb

[Locke.]

I drink far too quickly. Most people have a few sips and stand with their drink in their hand but I just have to drink it. Same with regular drinks, too.

I've never been out with anyone that can outdrink me on anything apart from vodka, I can't have more than about 2/3 shots of that straight in a row without wanting to be sick.

[Mrluvaluva]

A bottle of wine and a bottle of vodka is my limit. I don't always drink that, but that's the most I ever do, but not the most I have ever done though. But anything more has always included vomiting. Especially with 70% proof Absinthe and such like.

[iRyan]

I can drink a full Four Loko and be drunk but still fine. I know alot of people who throw up after not even drinking a full one.

I can do about 8 beers before throwing up, more or less. Maybe 7 is more accurate. I can't really say for sure because i'm usually drunk after the 4th one and don't remember much from then on.

But I get sick way easier if I have beer. I've never gotten sick after mixed drinks or liquor (only if I've mixed it with beer, VERY bad mistake I made once).

I'm 6'0 and 118 lbs.

[Iceman]

All the drinks like Absinthe, Aftershock and stuff make me do crazy things that I end up regretting. I try to steer clear of them but my mates always buy them.

[Iceman]

You guys all seem to puke a lot? I rarely ever get sick after drinking no matter how much ive had....come to think of it, its probably only happened twice.

[InOne]

One of the many threads on TiBB that now makes me want a drink :joker:


Shame it's coming to 2am :(

[Locke.]

Absinthe just gets pushed in the direction of the girls that have got boyfriends.

[Stu]

I only puke the morning after Cider because it tastes evil and is an evil beverage that does evil things to nice people like me.

I think I've only ever been sick twice or three times. I've been in some proper states too but I'm pretty good at not throwing up.

[Iceman]

See I dont do that I always nearly get sick but I just go back asleep or eat something really fatty.... happened one though when I was on a bus home from some house I ended up in down the country...... worst feeling ever cause it was one of them Busaras ones and I had to wait an hour for another to come along. :bored:

[Kerry]

Ah nah I'd never start at a time like this :joker:

I once started (well, had a couple) at 1am. Though I did have seriously bad tonsilitis and just wanted to knock myself out. I was in agony :joker:

Supermarkets here can't sell booze after 10 either. They've also stopped selling Codeine over the counter.

My nights haven't been the same.

Oooh! Stop that.. :evilgrin:

[LemonJam]

Pre drinks = 4 pints/4 doubles of spirits with a mixer

Once out again it's over 4 doubles and mixers or pints or rocket fuels if I'm really going for it (Mix of 50% Gin, Vodka and... something and 50% orange juice.) That usually gets me merry enough for a stomachache the next morning.

I guess I can handle quite a lot seeing as I'm only 10 stone haha, but I'd never identify as an unstoppable tank. I did finish a centurian partially with spirits once because I ran out of beer. Now I sound like I'm boasting. I'll shut the **** up now.

[Stu]

:laugh:

I don't get the weight argument. I'm 10 stone too and I've seen elephants fall down around me.

[LemonJam]

Come to think of it I have a friend who's a large unit and has a chunderfest after 4 pints.

[Jords]

I think quite a bit.

1 night I had:
5 x Cider
4 x Southern Comfort & Coke
1 x Smirnoff Ice

In 2/2.5 hours and felt giddy, drunkest Ive ever been but not out of it.. Im not sure if thats a lot in that time or not though?

[Boothy]

I'm 9.5 stone and 5'8 and can handle more than my mate who's taller and weighs a lot more than me. But then again, he only drinks now and again. I think it's more to do with the fact that the more often you drink, the higher your tolerance becomes.

[Kerry]

I don't get sick unless anyone wafts strong cider (you know, the white stuff that kills your liver upon smell alone?) or Malibu at me. Oh and Rum. Once had rum (sorry Nan - I know it was yours) and paid for it

[Iceman]

Well Ive a free bar at this wedding tomorrow so Ill let you all know what my new limits are :laugh:

Night!

[Iceman]

That was what made me get off the bus, I drank a bottle of it straight and got sick for days.

[Kerry]

I detest the very word now

[Stu]

I don't get the rum buzz. Everyone I know guzzles Captain Morgan's like it's going out of style. It's rank.

Then again I don't see the point in any spirits not whiskey or vodka.

Oh this was going back a few years now, mid teens, only started drinking it again recently.

Been to the one in Deansgate Lock(e)s (sic) but I don't think I have had a shot of Dave in there. Maybe you went to the one in Canal St if you were in Manchester...

Fleet Street, Liverpool.

I believe I heard of you and Scott getting up to all sorts down canal street though

[Patrick]

I've never been drunk but I had a couple glasses of wine once and everything became hilarious so I guess not much? :shrug:

LOL Wine.

[Stu]

Nothing wrong with wine. There's a filthy drunkard method of slugging the cheap stuff from the bottle and getting hammered with an odd sense of class.

[Kerry]

Nowt wrong with wine. It's a great mellow-er

[Patrick]

It depends on the booze really, for me also it depends on the setting.

I could drink for Ireland by myself in my room when I'm annoyed and just listen to music and be fine, the last time I did that I found myself dancing to the radio on GTA: Ballad of Gay Tony and then falling and ended up falling asleep on the floor.


The other week I only had about 7 Cans of Harp or something [this wasn't in my room lol] and was completely pissed; Niall is a witness :laugh:.

So yeah it depends on the booze and probably the setting, sometimes.

Are you on the dole and from Wigan?

Fresh air's a bitch. I know that much.

Just checked and it's actually on Sackville Street round the corner. You must have good ears though..

Polish Lager over Irish Lager? Really? :laugh:

I haven't tried it - so can't comment but anything that can be ate that comes from that country tastes like pigeon vomit - I imagine the drinks would be almost as bad?

Slavics have an imhuman tolerance to booze and produce some of the finest beer and vodka in the world.

Ireland has a great reputation with booze but it certainly doesn't lie with lager. Moreso stout and whiskey.

Polish booze is the business. It's cheaper and stronger.

[Kerry]

One thing I have noticed - I can drink 5% cider 'til the cows come home. Drink the same strength lager at the same quantity and .... well, oh dear....

[Ramsay]

pre drinks = 8 cans
out = between 6-10 bottles and abooooooot 4 shots

[Ramsay]

thank god for bavaria
i can get 8 cans for 8 euro in a centra in town

[Ramsay]

oh and 4 euro wine from tesco is the business

[Redway]

Yes, Stu. I can actually take in quite a lot of booze, really. I don't get drunk easily - but I do get drunk often!

[CharlieO]

Generally quite a bit before I get drunk.
But it also depends on how much I have eaten that day. I usually have to drink a lot but then it hits me like a ton of bricks randomly and I'm never really eased into drunkenness. I did 20 shooters in a bar once all in a row and I still was not drunk after that so had 3 vodka limes and then ot hit me really quick. If I haven't eaten anything that day though I can get drunk of one or two vodka mixers.

But I hardly am ever sick, only been sick once.

Usually:
Pres: 2 ciders and a vodka mixer
Out: Lots of shooters/shots until I'm drunk. Generally vodka based drinks.

[patsylimerick]

Oooh. Interesting thread. Don't get the vomiting guys? What are ye doing wrong? Only time I ever got sick after drink was when some gobshoite gave me a two litre bottle of poteen, which I thought was water, and slugged out of accordingly. There was a time when all I drank was neat Jameson. Shot after shot after shot. And I'd murder anyone who put water, ice or anything else into it. But it made me gnarly. At college I used to win all the drinking competitions. A particular favourite was a tequila shot, a bailey's, a tequila shot, a bailey's, a tequ........... you get the picture, until everyone bar one sitting around the table had fallen down. I never fell down.
I have grown up and got sense. Nowadays, a nice bottle of Merlot - just the one - or seven or eight bottles of beer, once or twice a week and I'm happy.

[joeysteele]

I don't drink a lot of alcohol,I will at a party obviously but in the main I am just a social drinker,prefer a few drinks with friends and/or family.
I get sleepy if I have too much to drink anyway.

[Niamh.]

It's weird with me. It seems to depend on my mood. Sometimes I can handle loads or sometimes I end up being sick fairly quickly, but still carry on drinking anyway. I'm quite a slow drinker really, if I'm a home vokda or cans on a night can last me a while

I agree with the bolded bit. But generally speaking alot depends on what I drink, wine, I can drink one bottle, if I drink even one extra glass after that I'll be sick but I can switch to another drink and be fine. Beer I could drink forever, I get to a certain level of drunkness and I start to get a hangover. Spirits I've banned myself from drinking more then two in a night, especially vodka, I used to drink it all the time but it made me go loopy, have black outs and usually an argument.

[Claymores]

Offies here have to close at 10 :(.

Same as Scotland.........plus offies/supemarkets/garages not allowed to sell untial 10am of a morning. On Sundays until 12.30pm. There are ways around that by unscrupulous taxi companies who will deliver a bottle of spirits @ 2am plus 40 fags - but that's dodgy.

I was amazed when I visited my cousin in Surrey many moons ago - we were low on supplies to drink for taking the train on the way to London to see Scottish Claymores play at Stamford Bridge. This Sunday she drove us to Asda @ 09.00 smoking a joint on the way - just so the Scottish guests could get more supplies.

[Claymores]

Sorry but what is wrong with Harp?

:bored:

Most amusing thing I've ever read on TiBB - do you mean a water shandy Patrick?

[Marc]

I can drink a lot, Pimms seems to just be water to me right now.. addicted.

Too much beer & cider makes me bloated and I stop mainly because of that. Wine gets me drunk pretty fast mind! Over Xmas I am usually hard to get drunk because that's all I do every day LOL

[Vicky.]

It depends on what Im drinking.

Lager, I seem to get drunk off about 3/4 pints. Cider is usually 3

Wine...obviously depends on how good the wine is. I have been known to get drunk off a glass and a half off some £40quid a bottle stuff my mother bought

Spirits, I can usually have round about 5 doubles or so and then am mortal...but sourz etc I can drink all night and they dont touch me.

But malibu...it takes about a large bottle :laugh:

[Marc]

Sourz are pathetic.

They don't even give off a buzz. :idc:

[Niamh.]

sourz?

Polish lager is the best :amazed:

It's 5 for £5 on Lech at my local Polish shop. Then I usually get a few of those big bottles with all the weird drawings and stuff on them but quite high %

[seanraff07]

I normally have to get through 6/7 cans at least 'till I start getting past tipsy. And I actually think Apple Sourz is really nice.

[hannah.]

I've just woken up for work, I've got a banging headache and I don't remember getting home... I had... wait for it.... THREE GLASSES OF WINE. I'm like a bloody 13 year old. still.

[Barbie]

It only takes a few to get me mentally drunk, hugging everyone and not being totally aware.
Physically even though i've drunk loads i've never been sick and never had a hangover.

Bet you're young :hugesmile: I never used to get hangovers - now they last for THREE days :bawling: Seriously, any significant amount of alcohol and I have a pain out my left eye and a stomach like a dishwasher for three days :bawling: It's life's way of making you calm down - the progressively more dreadful hangover.
