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?

Peppermint schnapps! My freshman roommate lost a drinking contest one of our dorm mates. He insisted that I "uphold the honor of the room" and challenge the winner's roommate to a drinking contest. He chose a quart of peppermint schnapps, shot for shot.Moonbear said:Conditioned taste aversion is a powerful thing.

Unfortunately, I won.
Danger said:While it wasn't by any means the most that I've consumed in a day, the one that nearly killed me was 26 Black Russians one evening (that's when a drink was 1 3/4 ounces). I think that it was the sugar more than the alcohol that done me in, since I was diabetic at the time.
Nowadays, I'll regularly slam back at least a dozen beers on a Saturday or Sunday, and have half a dozen or so after work every day. Then there's the 'sleeping pill' of about 4 ounces of Scotch at bed-time.

Many cultures are proud of their stomach for large amounts of alcohol. I was with a few guys three weeks ago, and the first one said that he used to drink about as much as Danger, but he doesn't any more, except when he goes down to Mexico to see his brother and his old friends. He said it was "Mexican," "what Mexican doesn't drink, you know man" The guy standing next to me was from South Korea and concurred: "Yeah, Koreans too." I imagine if there was a German there, he would have said Germans drink a lot of beer, Japanese would say lots of Saki, Russians would say vodka shots, and etc.gravenewworld said:Damn.

NeoDevin said:My best estimate based on what people told me afterwards, was that I had about 2 liters (that's about half a gallon for you Americans) of Vodka in one night, as well as about 2/3 of a bottle of wine. Best part is I felt fine the next day.
I threw a bunch of it up, which is probably the only reason I never ended up in the hospital.
The reason is that a person drinking isn't going to affect the health of the people around them, whereas smoking will.esbo said:There is something highly ironic about banning smoking in bars, if you were to ban anything on health ground in bars based upon the number of years of life lost it would be alcohol, not smoking,

NeoDevin said:Never said I was proud of it, I was a little younger, and a little stupider. You won't catch me doing anything like that anymore. Usually I stop after a few beers now.
esbo said:I would be rather surprised to believe you drank 2 litre of vodka and lived to tell the tale.
That is 40 units + 6 for the wine. The same as 23 pints of beer.
Most I have ever managed is about 10 pints spread over the whole day but that gives your body time to metabolise some of the alcohol, the time scale makes a difference.
Over 20 units is usually enough to surpress respiration ie stop you breathing.
I guess you could manage it is you are pretty heavy, 20 stone+.
You would feel fine the next day because basically you would still be drunk, well over the drink driving limit.
Only just read the bit about throwing up, that's probalby why you are alive to tell the tale. They don't tell you alcohol is poison in the advertisements but your body knows, fortunately (usually). Drinking large amounts of alcohol is nothing to be 'proud' of, it screws up every organ in your body. you would not ask anyone what is the largest amount of rat poisen they have ever consumed. Alcohol is far more dangerous than smoking.
There is something highly ironic about banning smoking in bars, if you were to ban anything on health ground in bars based upon the number of years of life lost it would be alcohol, not smoking, furthermore alcohol also causes dependancy, unlike smoking.
Alcohol can kill you in the short term unlike smoking and it's long term effects are worse.
Not that I don't drink.

The amount of alcohol that is considered dangerous to consume in one day varies depending on factors such as weight, age, and overall health. However, generally speaking, consuming more than four drinks in one day for men and three drinks for women is considered excessive and can lead to negative health consequences.
Yes, consuming a large amount of alcohol in one day can lead to alcohol poisoning. This occurs when the body's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) rises to a dangerously high level, leading to symptoms such as vomiting, seizures, and loss of consciousness. It is important to seek medical attention immediately if you or someone you know may have alcohol poisoning.
The short-term effects of drinking a large amount of alcohol in one day can include impaired judgment, motor coordination, and reaction time, as well as nausea, vomiting, and loss of consciousness. These effects can increase the risk of accidents, injuries, and alcohol-related incidents.
Yes, it is possible to develop a tolerance to alcohol, which means that the body becomes used to the effects of alcohol and requires larger amounts to feel the same effects. However, even if a person does not feel the effects of alcohol, their BAC may still be dangerously high, putting them at risk for alcohol poisoning and other negative consequences.
Yes, drinking a large amount of alcohol in one day can have long-term effects on health. Repeated episodes of excessive drinking can lead to liver damage, heart disease, and other serious health conditions. It is important to drink alcohol in moderation and stay within recommended guidelines to maintain good health in the long term.
