Taking drunk driving to the next level... - Page 2

If you want to get that drunk, why drink beer? Cut to the chase and get a jug of whiskey.

Drinking beer to get high is like taking a shower with an eyedropper.

"15 beers" can be anything between 3 litres (in Cologne) and 15 litres (Oktoberfest) , depending on where in the world you are. - So, is it 15 cans of 0,33 litres each or 0,5 or pints or ....?

Just wondering.

Ahem. 12 ounces.

This is what I was thinking of. Not just a drive up window.

I've had 10 beers in the course of an all-day canoeing trip; somehow being out in the sun all day makes it go down easier.

Can't say I was much help with paddling in the last couple hours though

Yeah, I'm an Ohio girl.

Exactly, we need empirical data!

12 US fluid ounces = 0.354 L

15 US 'beers' = ~ 9.5 UK pints

All day is different, especially in the summer... I've had those long slow summer days where I'm either gardening or just porch-sitting with my guy, drinking beer after beer. If you start at lunchtime, you can easily spread it out over ten hours... I doubt I could do ten beers in ten hours, but I've downed a sixpack before!

Reminds me of Paul Newman day.

I've done as many as 12-14 (girly lite "beers") when hanging out with our alcoholic friends, but it's been a while. On an average drinking night I stay closer to 4-6.

I take the fifth on this subject.

A few years ago I'd have easily gone through the equivalent of 15 beers on an average drinking night, although some might call it a binge since I didn't do it every night...but if I did, then I'd be an alcoholic...which makes me wonder which is worse or if they're as bad as each other. Anyway, I think Aussies tend to be pretty big drinkers. Definitely drinking seems to be more widespread here. Far fewer tea totallers that's for sure.

We have lots of drive-thru liquor stores here. There's just about one in every suburb. You can't buy alcohol in the supermarket here though, or at a drugstore or service station.

Wow, I thought I was a heavy drinker for a while there, but I'm starting to reconsider!

Scientists recently found that having four beers a day greatly increases your risk of having a fifth beer.

Aliantha · 04-03-2009, 03:17 AM

Only an idiot would need a scientist to prove that theory. lol
