AlcoholIn a recent thread the topic of alcohol consumption was brought up. It was mentioned that in Ireland about 10 pints would be a pretty normal night out for most people, and this was met with quite an astonished response. What are other people's views on general alcohol consumption? What do you think is normal and too much? Is this your personal view or is it a cultural thing?

I think four new threads would be better than trying to run a thread on four topics at once.
-
Yeah, but it just seems annoying because I'm about to start another thread and that would have been 5. And I know that I could space them out a bit over time, but my mind is in a very active mood tonight.
-
Feel free to be annoying.
-
Okee Pokee!

Yeah, I'm pretty astonished, althought it's probably even worse in Russia. People here who drink that much on a regular basis tend to be alcoholics. I live in a tourist area, so people from all over do it on an irregular basis. Still, I don't see drunk people staggering around very often.

I walk to the cab under my own power at the 10-15 pint level.
That's not a common night out for me any more for sure though! -
the most i can drink without puking my guts out is about 7 shots of lambs in a row. (lambs is rum btw ) so..how many "pints" is that?
-
In liquid content its about half a pint. But in alcohol content, guessing that your rum is the normal 44%, its about the same as 4 or 5 pints of beer.
-
Wouldn't it be about the same as 7 pints of beer? I guess it depends on the alcohol content of each, but a mixed drink or shot is roughly equal to a beer in alcohol content. I wonder if the alcohol is absorbed more quickly in one versus the other.
-
I based my measurements on:
Rum - 44%
Beer - 4% (its the average content for beers here)Shot glass - 44ml
Pint glass - 568ml -
Calories, carbs and alcoholA typical beer here has 5 or so percent of alcohol, but it can go up to 7 or more.
-
in Canada, only "light" beers are below 5%
-
I've had some that were about 10% or 10.5%. I also had a case of a Czech import that was 14%.
-
Well thats cause you're cool!
-
had the FAX 10... it's 10% and pretty yuckyand yes, thank you, we are pretty damn cool over here.. you know you're welcome to visit but I aint draggin your drunk ass out to the cab(ok, I will the first night)
-
Fuck the beer, if I go to Canada it'll be for the weed!
-
Its not exactly 100% legal..
Everyone gets an impression that it is but really its not.

Hey, you look like a girl.It's not unusual for a couple to go out to dinner and split a 750 ml bottle of wine. To me, 300 - 400 ml of wine in an hour is a lot. I would not be good for driving for a while after that.Can't you just hitchhike to Amsterdam to smoke dope?
-
I know that, but it'd be a lot easier to obtain than over here. Currently I'm stuck growing my own.
