In my old local there was an old (68) farmer that was a regular. Big chap but fit for his age. Now I've seen a few drinkers in my time but Farmer Keith....... Always claimed to be broke but owned 600 acres of Surrey

I was in there one evening and Keith has popped in at lunchtime and decided on a few light and bitters. He stayed on until around 2 am when his son came to collect him. The Landlord kept a case for the empty lights and Keith had gone through 42 of them

The thing about Keith was that he didn't care. He had lost his wife some time back and if he had dropped dead in the pub then fine by him. I remember him telling me that he had been for a health check and the nurse asked him how much he drank. "Oh about 20 pints he said" to which she said "Well that's within your weekly limit, so that's fine" to which Keith replied "No that's what I have most evenings". Always made me smile that one

Not as many as I used to be able to drink, but I can probably manage a nice round 10 of your average cooking lager over the course of an evening/night. In my drinking days I could have managed the same amount, but stronger stuff (Stella, Kronie)

I think I've done around 13/14/15 before (all dayer) but really wouldn't be able to remember exactly, so I've no idea how anyone could remember 15-20+ !!!!!

I'm (a thin) 14 stone.

This thread is making me thirsty!

a lot of people actually say the Manchester beer & lager brewed by Joey Holts
is deffiantely an aquired taste !
I find it quite pleasant actually

as for myself... I can quite easily get through 2 bottles of wine, and just be starting to feel a bit squiffy 1/2 way down the 2nd bottle !

quite rare i drink lager if we're in the pub now ( not often we go out to the pub)... but once over could easily get through a good 8 or 9 pints

i think im actually an alcoholic lol

if im out on the **** to pub etc ill have a few pints then too bloated so onto the vodkas and jack daniels, i have to have atleast a double i only like strong tastes, quite easily sink 6 or 7 doubles and a few pints in one evening at the pub


if were having a **** up at home i can quite honestly demolish my way though a bottle of vodka or atleast 3/4 of it, i have before done a whole bottle on more than one occasion

as i mentioned i like strong tastes so my fav beer is tenents super , makes me feel like a tramp on a bench lol but i do most nights sink 2 or 3 of them, occassionally having a few days without a drink

as i say i think its time for me to cut down a tad lol

I drink a lot less than I used to (probably about once a month or 2), but when I do go out now I usually munch my way through about 8-10 pints before i'm bloated and have to hit the spirits.

I remember back in the days of the anual lads holidays to the Spanish/Greek islands. Me and my mates made it a thing to drink at least a 4 pint jug of Vodka and Redbull each (4 cans of Redbull and a bottle of Vodka) before hitting the main town, where we'd carry on lining the shots up all night. After doing that for 14 nights on the trot it took longer to get over the holiday than the holiday itself, lol!

I generally get through about 4 pints then move onto bottles and shots on a night out. A lot depends on how long the time period is that the pints are drunk over, and if the evening has involved a meal earlier on!

On a pub night finishing at 11 I'd be well hammered on 5 pints, but if its a longer night and might involve going to a club I could drink 6-7 I suppose, and Im not a big drinker.

Well i decided to try out an experiment & i am reporting back with my findings.

Tuesday night at the football i had 8 pints of the new tennents lager & a couple of JD's ..... thank *** for bannisters as i wouldnt have got up the stairs without them

Tonight i hobbled down to the local & i have had 8 pints of Stella, 4 JD's & i am sitting on my 3rd bottle of stella since being in the house.

I think i will report back in the morning my results.

depending what im drinking it varies. if it was at my old local in scunny (alcazar may know of it) the sherpa, if you could drink 7-8 pints of their strong "ayingerbrau" german stuff, thats over 7.5% from the pumps, you were a hero. never got that far, but the night i nearly did i had a 10 minute argument with a lampost, whcih ended up with me vomiting all over it.

normal beer, like carling, fosters, about 8-9 and im 13st 5"6 tall, stocky build, slight gut. but recently ive had a thing for tequila coke and lime all mixed in a glass. few lagers then move onto the caffiene rocket fuel. either that or do what my mate did two weeks ago and top up my pint of carling with 6 shots of tequila. i swear i was halucinating.

i might have a mortgage and a ****ty diesel, but im a normal 22 year old

Hardly any these days. When I was a teenager a bottle of jack on the way to the pub when I got bad and at my worst I lost my vision theough alchohol poisoning whihc was cool and scarey and that was after 1 ltre of 86% proof buron, 1 litre of ouzo an bottle af malibu and 8 pints of gaymers. Never drunk like that again but still drank far too much developing a sotmach ulcer in my late teens !

Most pints I've managed was 14 pints of snakebite and black which was messy and your sick sort of glows pink !

Being a bit older 5 or 6 is my limit these days. Can still sink the odd bottle of Jack in the right mood though

2 gallons of Guiness a day for 4 days.

Apparently I was in Dublin for a stag but I cannot confirm or deny that .

In my early 20's a quiet night in would be 10-12 bottles of Newcastle Brown, 15-18 if out on the lash.

Now 6 is pissed, 8 wasted. But I've never had a hangover.
