What is the most amount of alcohol you drank in 1 day?

[gravenewworld]

What are stones and pints.

Lbs and Oz god dammit!

When you get a pint at a typical American bar, it is 16 oz. When you go to Europe, a lot of the times a pint of beer is a little bit bigger, probably around 20 oz.

 

[rewebster]

Me: half a bottle of 151 and a 1/4 bottle of tequila. Also 3/4 of a 5th of JD.



Yes it was dumb and yes I was very sick the next day. Next?

boy oh boy---151 and 1800----brings back a lot of false memories of how much fun it was

--oh yeah--and $2 pitchers

 

[Benzoate]

I don't drink alcohol much because most of the alcohol taste bitter and has no flavor. I don't see the 'thrill' people get out of it. Alcohol is wayyy overrated.

 

[larkspur]

Two ounces of Everclear was enough to knock me on my arse. Never again!

You can have fun with alcohol. I don't know how some of you say it's dumb and retarded. And I also don't understand how some of you went overboard either.

I don't drink often at all, but I do have fun when I do. I wouldn't do it otherwise. (I do go out a lot though.)

Of course you can have fun, but when you drink so much that you pass out or get extremely sick the next day it is dumb. There's drunk, and then there is excessive drunk.It is easy to go overboard, especially when you are with friends who like to party a lot but can drink more than you.

 

[binzing]

I think its dumb, these kids that go out every weekend and get totally wasted. It's like "Go get a syringe and some 200 proof sh!t and just shoot it up, it'll do you better"

Hey guys !

Pleasure to be here - I love physics, computers, women etc - anything logical.

Ok - scratch the women bit - but come one, there are SOME things that the laws of physics can't handle.

Re drinks - wow - I am a bona-fide alcoholic - so maybe I'm a bad one to reply on this forum - but I thought it may make a few of you guys feel better.

Sometimes I am on the waggon - nothing at all, and sometimes I fall off in grandios style - but to put it into perspective...

I fancied a drink at the start of this month sometime, so I bought a 375ml bottle of vodka (Pushkin at 43% abv.) - I had polished that off with a bottle of coca-cola by around 10am, and, in the mood, went out to a meeting where we had beers - I had 6 'Castle' Drafts - which is 6 litres at 5.5% abv - so there's a lot of water there.

On the way home I bought a 'box' of wine (Namaqua Blanc de Blanc - 12.5% abv) - this is common here in South Africa - you can buy a 5 litre sack of wine in a box with it's own little tap on the front - I polished that off with ice and soda.

By around 10pm I was watching TV, a couple of friends had come around to my pad with a few girls and the booze started flowing again... so what could I do?

This time is was brandy (Richlieu) and coke - another favourite over here...

I went to bed (not alone, I hasten to add) at around 4am - the only adverse effect of the copious quantity of alcohol I had consumed was my lack of libido - I could have countered this with a little blue pill, but felt sorry for my heart and the stress this would put it under, bearing in mind the fact I had got through about 5 packs of Camel Lights during the day (I should have stuck to filter or at least mild, as since I switched to lights, I smoke twice as much at least).

At 40 years old, I feel 30, I look 50, but I'm still having a good time, and whilst the money keeps flowing, the jokes keep going and the (ever younger) women keep coming, then why should I worry?

That day, I have no idea how much I drank - but it should have been enough to put a rhino out - is this good or bad?

All I can say, my fellow doctors, associate professors under-graduate (and p/g) friends I have shared with along the way, don't feel too bad - there's always someone better or worse (there go the vows!)

I'll leave you with a quote...

"If you are scared of falling, don’t climb. Only those not afraid of falling will reach the very top. Just make sure you fall because of a loose rock or slippery boots, not too many pints at some boozer on the way up…"

If you are wondering "Who said that?" - it was me !

Keep on keeping on...

Matt

I don't think and I don't ever want to. My body might be able to take it, but if I drink I will somewhat become an example to others that it is "okay to drink". It all leads to people doing stuff that should not have happened in the first place.

I don't think it's true that drinking doesn't affect other people like smoking does.

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

Anyone had a "Four Horsemen"? It's a "Three Wisemen" with Crown Royal. As a tumbler drink! A few of those will knock you out cold!

 

[JasonRox]

I went to a wedding last week and I drank two bottles of wine during diner (one white and one red), then took 10 shots of whisky, and then a couple rye and cokes.

Yeah, that was crazy.

Only problem with wine is that I never remember the previous night.

Note: I quit drinking beer. Wine wins.

 

[Matthew_Wilke]

Hey kudoushinichi88

Nice comment - and I'm no authority on this, plus it's more philosophy than physics - but I feel I have to say it...

There are very few people on God's Earth who are capable of successfully second guessing every conscious action they make lest it be a bad example to others, examples being St Paul, or more recently Mother Theresa.

Realistically, whether it's having a bacon sandwich rather than museli for breakfast, a glass of wine rather than a soda, or choosing cottage cheese over cheddar - it's a personal choice.

Fair enough, if you're in the presence of an alcoholic, don't cause your brother to fall, and if you know he/she battles with temptation, have a coffee or an OJ rather than a double whatever on the rocks...

But one thing I can tell you is this - by advertising that you are attempting to live your life as an example to others to the extent that you deny yourself the simple pleasures, (and listen to me - the important bit is where I say "by advertising"), then you are setting the scene for a fall from grace.

Again, to re-iterate, I honour your intentions which are obviously noble - just be careful.

Very best and cheers cheers :-)

Yo JasonRox !

sounds like a good wedding !

Off down town now for a few shots - hopefully I'll be sober enough to enjoy when I meet a drunk Paris Hilton lookalike to take advantage of...

Matt.

[kudoushinichi88]

@Matt
I don't get it. There are 4 pages of examples in this thread alone what alcohol can do on people. It doesn't need a second guessing to know drinking is bad.

And what 'pleasure' is there in drinking and having painful hangovers? Not to mention the terrible stuff alcohol can cause such as domestic violence. There are still plenty of 'simple pleasures' in this world to indulge in.

If I was talking about smoking instead of drinking in my previous post, someone somewhere might come out with a similar response like yours. But you know smoking is bad, don't you? (unless of course you are pro-smoking like a certain idiot I know)

Drinking poses even more serious health problems (liver probs, you become fat etc.). Furthermore, it doesn't just affect the body, it also affects social life as well (eg. your intoxicated friend accidentally told your wife you slept with that other woman)

Funny that even though the effects of alcohol is far worse compared to smoking, smoking is frowned upon more than drinking.

I do realize that drinking is prolly what brings together in a party and one may argue that drinking can lead to social bonding and stuff like that. I've heard pro-drinking statements that wine can be good for health.

I do not deny the good things drinking can bring, but the detriment alcohol can bring far outweighs the good. It's just logical to not drink at all.

I understand it is in the end a personal choice whether to drink or not to drink. I can't expect everyone to stop drinking. But I hope one day drinking is looked upon socially as something bad as how most people look upon smoking now. Now that's progress.

I'll shut up now and let people continue to chronicle the stupid stuff they've done as the result of their drinking.

 

[Matthew_Wilke]

Amen kudoushinichi88 - drinking irresponsibly is defo v. bad.

If your dad and mom go out and have a neuf du pape with supper there's no problem - but going out on the town and downing shooters to get sloshed is wrong.

You go girl - I'm with you on your mission to stop binge drinking.

Peace out.

Matt

I've never had alcohol, which people don't expect of a non-religious 21 year old.

Alcohol is an acquired taste. I used to hate the taste of beer, but now I drink one every day and enjoy the bitter flavor. Currently, I'm drinking Red Stripe "HOORAY BEER!"

You should try alcohol.

 

[gravenewworld]

3 wisemen=TERRIBLE shot

4 horsemen= probably worse

 

[mcknia07]

I've never really had alcohol either, and really don't plan to start to drink anytime soon. I've just seen too much bad come from it...

Well, that's really not a very rational decision. You're missing out on something new out of irrational fear. Drinking a beer isn't going to do anything to you.

 

[mcknia07]

Oh, ok. I just don't get why someone would want to be wasted from drinking. I know you said that's not what you do, but I guess it has just always scared me to think what could come of alcohol. I guess I might try it someday, when I am of the legal age, lol.

 

[Kurdt]

Some people can't control themselves. Most people drink far too much at least once and then they find their limit and stick to it.

 

[Cyrus]

Because they are idiots. No seriously, they are quite stupid.

I literally drink beer every day 7-days a week and never get drunk. Even when I go out to bars I have 2-3 beers at most if I'm drinking at all. For perspective, if I wanted to get drunk I'd have to probably drink 8-10 beers.

The people telling stories about getting drunk are drinking WAY more than this, and are probably mixing drinks (alcohol and beer, that's a no no).

In general, I find that girls get drunk a lot faster than guys do (they weigh less). Don't mix drinks. Also, space it out. Your body metabolizes a beer in about an hour. So if you drink a lot of booze all at the same time you'll get wasted. If you spread it out throughout the night, you won't be as bad.

 

[Evo]

I was around 24 before I really started enjoying alcohol. I liked rum and coke, but one night the rum was 151 proof and a couple of those knocked me out, luckily I was home.

I then learned that 151 proof is for things like flambaying and not for mixed drinks.

Oh, well yeah I kinda knew that, lol.

Isn't beer bad for like your liver or kidneys or something like that?

I know of a few people that mix things all the time, granted, they are pretty dumb, and that's what scares me, but I know I have more self control than they. Never will I want to put myself around people that act and do what they did, I was stupid myself for even going around them, and I thought they were good friends of mine, but I haven't talked to them in a while now. You can learn who your real friends are after high school.

Well, drinking in excess is not good for your liver. Neither is strong drinks every day, stuff like Vodka. As for beer, I am honestly not sure. I doubt 12oz of beer a day is all that harsh on your liver, but I could be wrong. Drinking a glass of wine a day has higher alcohol concentration than beer, and that's supposedly good for you. So based on that, I don't think a beer every day is worse than a glass of wine.

Whatever, life's too short. I'm going to enjoy my beer every night.

Yeah, I have heard that wine is good for you, so I guess beer might have something good in it too.

More power to you, I'll try it sometime maybe, like I said when I am of age. I don't want to be in trouble, lol. But, beer just smells nasty I think, but if you like it, then that's cool though. I mean, I like beer bread...

Honestly, I could not stand the taste of beer at first. You really do have to get used to it. Its the anti-oxidants in wine that's good for you. But you can get even more of it from simple cranberry/grape juice (I think). All I'm saying is, don't reject drinking alcohol simply because other people abuse it. You're not them. Don't do the stupid things they do. Enjoy it responsibly and you'll be fine.

I wouldn't do anything stupid. If I even thought I would, I would not even try anything. I don't like how some people act, so I sure as heck, don't want to be another one of them, I have more common sense than most of them, lol.

 

[Kurdt]

Wine is more alcohol by volume than beer but a beer has twice as many units as a glass of wine. In the UK the recommended guidelines for safe alcohol consumption are about 2 pints of beer a day for men and 1 and a half pints a day for women. That is beer of 4% ABV. One can work out the units by multiplying the volume (in millilitres) by %ABV then divide the result by 1000.

Everybody is slightly different in their alcohol tolerance. I can only drink a max of four (pints that is) beers compared to Cyrus' 8-10. A mistake lots of people make when first starting to drink is that they and their friends can drink the same amount which of course is not true. So this delusion and peer pressure can get many people, including myself, in trouble when they first start out.

Moderation and knowing ones own limits will ensure you can enjoy alcohol and remain healthy.

 

[cristo]

I don't think there's anything wrong with having a drink once in a while, and letting go, especially when you're young. I've had some great nights in the past when I've been very drunk. I hardly ever do that nowadays, but when in school and university I did.

Pints have more than what we call beers here in North America.

I've mixed wine, liguor, beer and red bulls before. I don't see the big deal like Cyrus said. I never puked or got hangovers from doing it. I usually start with wine at home, then beer and shots at the bar.
