Genuinely don' see an issue with 9 cans and a half bottle of wine. I regularly have a bottle of wine and 6-8 cans and function perfectly fine. Cant remember the last time I was properly drunk 

You have all that and don't get properly drunk?

Aye, ok.

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. 

If you're drinking at home you don't really notice it, but staggering to the bar you would. Your girlfriend must be a saint to put up with you.

This thread is like a jakey-filled Hemingway novel. People consuming quantities of alcohol in four hours that would blind an elephant and suffering no ill-effects. What a load of shite.

Reading Hem, he seems to have got through mad quantities of booze. Made me think maybe wine was less alcoholic back then. That, or he was lying, or he was some sort of superman.

I worked with a guy (very big guy) who polished off at least a litre of spirits a night and was the best worker ive ever had.

I worked with a guy who was late 30’s at the time who’s life was totally ruined by alcohol from an early age who went on a mad binge for a few weeks and was consuming 3 bottles of vodka a day at his worst. He ended up finding religion and gave up alcohol for about 8 years before dying of cancer at 46. It properly gets a hold of some people to the point they can’t function without it.


No you didn't.
