Been off work since Thursday. Drank 10-12 beers Thursday night. Friday went and cleared camp site for deer hunting and stayed til Sunday. Drank 30+ that weekend. Hung out with dad Monday and didn't drink. Started building floor to ceiling bookshelves around my fireplace Tuesday and finished today but drinking 12-15 each day. Gonna run electric/cable/internet so I can put tv above mantle tomorrow and already debating what kind of beer to get! Saturday I get to go to a pig roast and dude supplies unlimited home brew...

I'll give you a 4 because you seem new and functional. Solid 8 working up to a 9 for guilt though.

I had been drinking every day for almost 2 years, and not casual drinking. We worked and played harder. The things we could/would do back then people can't comprehend and that's fine. I have no problem being called a liar, I have those memories with my friends from back then and we laugh about them til this day. We did lots of stupid **** and plenty of funny **** while drinking.

It was a case (24) of Heineken. My case sat on my left side next to me while watching the game. Pretty sure we got subway while we were getting our beer too. I can remember damn near everything about that day. Even the look we gave each other when we realized we were out of beer and needed more. lol After the game we cleaned up and headed across the street to play pool at the bar in the hotel basement. It's what we did damn near every night for 3 years.

Closer to dead would be the other story I posted. After that weekend I slowed my drinking down considerably.

Didn't realize it was Heineken which has a higher ABV than what I used in the calculation. You are up to .8 BAC. You are at double the comatose level without "feeling a buzz" based on your story.

The calculator you are using wouldn't happen to have this listed anywhere would it?

"this online BAC calculator is good for estimating your BAC level, but your actual BAC will vary depending on a host of different factors, such as your hydration status, recent meals, fluid intake, kidney function, and much more. "

Yea I'm not buying it. Don't care how big an alcoholic you are or how high your tolerance is, drinking that much that quick at that weight is physically impossible without damn near dying, let alone looking at each other, laughing, shrugging your shoulders, getting up and going to a bar right after. It's science. After a while your blood is gonna be so diluted with alcohol your brain is gonna stop functioning. That doesn't change with "high tolerance".

Yeah that damn near happened the night with the 151. That was by far the dumbest thing I have ever done and there is no reason why I didn't die, I should have been dead.

one of these things simply isn't true.

1. you were "around" 125 pounds
2. it was an entire case of beer
3. it was drank in the amount of time you mentioned

Pretty simple, really.

Here is exactly what I remember. Buddy was a UF fan and me of course being a UK fan. We had planned on watching the game all week. The game came on at 6pm our time, noon kickoff in Florida. We had lunch at the bowling alley, I always got a double bacon cheese burger, fries, and cheese sticks. Later in the day we hit up subway before stopping on the way back to the barracks to get the beer. I always got a foot long and a wrap thing that I haven't seen since I got back to the states. We got back to the room, turned on the game started in on our subway and started drinking. By the time the game was over our beer was gone and at best we had a slight buzz, so this was over a 4 hour period. That is exactly what I remember.

No. My case was on my left side and my buddies case was on his left side.

Like I said before, you guys don't have to believe a word I say, it's all good.

Here is exactly what I remember.

So, do you care or not about people believing your story?

It's easy. You go out and drink 7-10% abv beers and you're right about 15 budweisers.

That's what I do. I drink high ABV so I don't drink as many.

But these days, I drink 1 beer and I feel as bad as drinking 12 when I wake up the next day. Thank Zeus for the weed.

Tripels are made for this. High ABV and not too heavy.

But seriously, OP, that's a lot of drinking. 6.5/10, with the possible substantial upward possibility based on unknowns (lying about it to friends/family, anxiety when not drinking, blacking out, drinking at work, drinking and operating heavy machinery, etc...).

79, you didn't mention any positives with extreme drinking. Biased?

I assume you were stationed in a foreign country allabouttheuk? A shame what foreign ******** will do to our guys abroad.

I mean...emptying and then filling 48 bottles of Heineken with piss, resealing the caps, and then selling it to allabouttheuk and his buddy for full retail? An elaborate scheme, indeed.

Dicks out for allabout

were you snorting coke or meth at the same time by any chance. because that will raise that tolerance through the roof...so i've heard.

I can get down with this thread!

You're probably a 6 or a 7 over the past week. Sounds like you can get work done while drunk.. which is good or bad depending on what side of the war you're on.

I spent most of my 20s in Las Vegas, so jaded probably more like it? But I have warm feelings for moderate drinking.

Good lord you spent your 20s in Vegas? How are you still alive? The fact you walked outta there as a moderate drinker is kinda gay. Any rehab at least?

Bragging about drinking insane amounts of beer with another dude in "the barracks" and then going out to "play pool in a basement bar" is a signal that you value drinking just a little too much. And to the OP's question - of course you're an alcoholic. Nobody other than an alcoholic would drink that much while "installing crown molding" or doing the other mundane, redneck tasks you described.

Pretty sure that's just what rednecks do...not alcoholics. We drink and do work around the house.

It's pretty easy to tell when I've been on here drinking. Tonight is an off night. OP, you're a solid 5 and approaching 5.5 status.

Hung out with dad and brother around a fire last night and had some Sam Adams Oktoberfest and some goose island Oktoberfest. About 12 or so with some medicinal cause dads got cancer. Had two New Albanian strassenbrau oktoberfest and some pizza for lunch. Now it's getting started. Pig roast, unlimited home brew, and cornhole fun! Been a good week off!

You, good sir, are refraining from the piss-water and consuming reasonable beer. I, therefore, give you a well-deserved like.

I quit drinking beer, goes down way too easy and way too fast.

I've gone back to liquor straight, on the rocks. (I also make sure to drink plenty of water while I drink) Just sip on it at night after the kids go to bed. Knob Creek or hundo Smirnoff.

I'm drinking Black Crown. To your standards is that a low shelf or middle shelf beer? It's Budweiser so I'm guessing you gargle with it and spit it out assuming you even want it in your mouth.
I haven't touched Bud in over 6-7 years. Panther piss. Black Crown? Meh. Sampled once. Decent for an adjunct. Too many other good beers on the market these days.

< - - - Currently sipping an Alaskan Heritage Coffee Brown.

Huh? I'm only clarifying that you "drank" it... not "sampled" it. I'm right. It's cool. I don't know what the **** you mean by "diversified" but there's a beer store not 3 miles from my house that sells over 200 different craft beers, 108 of which I've DRANK at some point. I just don't keep tabs on some website like some hipster ***** ***. I'm also not some beer snob elitist grand poobah holier than thou ********** that makes fun of people that like simple ****. Beer is beer. Some is good. Some isn't as good. Some stout **** costs $5. Some others $14. If people get what they want on the $5 **** then more power to em. Just because you drink some random *** ******** some brewer in Dicklick, Arkansas concocted with his gay lover and lumberjack beard doesn't make you some prime minister of beer.
Jason. Jason. Jason.

Drink 1530 and check 'em in. With pics. Until then, you are simply a beginner.

Sincerely,

AustinTXCat.

Glad you can acknowledge you drank em and not sampled em. That's an impressive step.

"with pics" [roll]

Only the fella with the little dick barks about how big his dick is. This is a true story. I have it stamped by a notary.
*yawn*

Jason. Jason. Jason. Yes, I have drank more distinct beers than you. I have the check-ins to prove it. Back in Tennessee, no less, let alone my Texas and Florida adventures. You can shoot treys and brag about it. I can drink beer, and prove it. Big difference. Give it up, Hombre. You lost. I won. Go home and drink your crap adjuncts. I won. You lost. TIA.

Ignore. Go **** yourself. My tolerance for elitist *** ****s is at a minimum, hombre. Hope some 9.6% ABV cock gobbler beer you bought in Dicksuck, MN for $9 a bottle takes your last breath due to Type 2 diabetes when the time comes. Yea... I don't lose. Ever.

Toodaloo.
And, at my age, I'll still drink your *** under the table. Jason. Jason. Jason. Gawd dammit, you still lose. Jesus effen Christ, give it the eff up. No comparison. Give it the eff up. My beer is NOT Walgreens crap. Lay your *** down and go to sleep. Jesus.

Air Force, with all the requisite drug testing and having to go to work and whatnot. Good times, though.

I have a friend who knocks back 10 or 12 beers a day every day. I don't know whether it affects his work or not, since I know nothing about neurosurgery.

I'd say it probably doesn't bother him if he smokes a little weed every couple hours. Hell I can build shelves drunk so what's a little brain surgery.
