Finch road Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Just now, Sweet Pete said: That sounds like a lot to be having in one sitting and claiming to be not overly affected by it. However, I won't take issue with it, nor do I with Throbber's lifestyle, as it's one I can relate to so it'd be hypocritical to critiscise someone for it. I would honestly say I have 4 bottles wine and 20 cans over an average week. Seems a lot written down!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Now that I've seen the original post it makes sense. I read it as 6 cans and a half bottle of wine for the two days combined, if it's both days then yeah he's coming across as more of a drunken jakey. Apologies. If I were to start at 3 and drink until 9 I would still only have 1 beer an hour with 3 glasses of wine sandwiched in at various intervals. It is drinking too much but I don’t really feel like a jakey. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Before packing it in I was doing throbber levels a few times over. Pub or restaurant probably 4-5 x pw and booze at home 4-5 days pw too. More wine and spirits than just beers. Still functioned okay but felt it had taken over my life. Must be saving a fortune. Still have meals out but the bills are about 40% cheaper and the glass recycling bin is a shadow of its former self. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s so easily done though, when you don’t really give a f**k about the money you spend and you can get away with it at work then it’s an easy trap to fall into. So long as I could peel myself into work/uni and do what was required I never really cared if I felt a bit rough. There were a few times I overdid it a bit when the girlfriend was away though and they were truly unpleasant experiences. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Average weekend I'll have about 25 cans of Tennents from Friday to Sunday and on top of that maybe five or six pints on the Saturday if I'm at the football. Very easily done. Going to go overboard over the festive period then cut right down in The New Year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raidernation Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 FFS before I stopped I was averaging either 2 or 3 bottles of wine a night every night or at weekends most of a bottle of whisky a night (often with beers during the day) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Treated myself to 4 beers last night to celebrate an eventful day and feel a bit rough today for it. Not that it matters in the slightest on a Friday though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Pete Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 I've had the cold three weeks and I'm sick of feeling crap. Just bought a bottle of special medicine from the shop that's been made by a man named Arthur Bell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Kemp did a documentary about how much of a boozy country we are and a guy in his 40's was the same as you and consuming 3 bottles of red every day and nearly died. The fluid had to be sucked out of him as his liver was no longer functioning and he got told if he carried on at that rate he wouldn't last another 3 years. I couldn't drink more than 1 bottle of red in a night without being violently sick but each to their own. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure he has it over a good few hours like I myself. Over 6 hours its not exactly tearing the arse off it and you won't ever feel properly drunk. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i were to drink 6 beers and a half bottle of wine between now and 2230 I would be hammered but if i started at 1530 then I would pace myself and at no point during the drinking session would i feel inebriated enough to do anything out of character or that I would forget the next day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch road Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Rubbish. What is the problem here? I know I have stated you are a boring shite, but believe me I can shovel away the booze (not big or clever). Everyone is different MT. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
