5.

no joke.

depends on the strength of what it is i'm drinking and how much i've eaten etc but overall to get properlly drunk maybe 7 pints?

i had 6 stellas yesterday on an empty stomach and i was fairly pissed

i don't drink usually though

i tend to lose count

but maybe ten pints?

I haven't been properly drunk since the all-you-drink wine over a year ago. That was 8 glasses.

and a pint.

and I was drunk...tittering on the edge of being pissed.

5-6 pints then hit the shorts.

hitting it I couldn't actually drink enough beer to get properly drunk ~(volume wise) I'd drink beer to a point then i'd be on JD possibly with coke more often neecking double. Unfortunately when you're 6ft tall and weigh 10 stone that's not physically sustainable and i hurt myself pretty badly.
now it's dependant on food and speed, during the AIs and 6 Nations me and my mate will regularly go to disdbury and have lunch, then ito the dog and partridge for 7/8 hours of drinking at a steady pace. After work, for a couple of hours, on an empty stoumach 3/4 pints is ok, 5 pints is enough to be hung over in the morning.

or 8-10 cans, or a litre of vodka.

last time I was completely wrecked i.e had to be taken home was at new year. I had a few glasses of red, a bottle of white and two cans of cider.

though I went for a pint at lunchtime and got drunk on one pint. I need to eat more.

depends how much i've eaten/how quickly i drink

Very much a lightweight.

Depends on if I want to get drunk or not. I can quite temper it if I fancy.

+ 3 or 4 doubles. can never drink more than 4 pints. a fifth will turn me into a gaseous woozefest, while not actually being drunk enough to be likely to pass out or be happy. i think it's just about volume of liquid. so it's 4 then onto the shots.

I have quite a low threshold for introuduction to getting drunk at say 3 or 4 pints but I can take an hidious amount post that and not feel much drunker till pints 8 - 12 hit in where it ends up being either me REALLLY good out or REALLY bad to the point where i pass out. Sometimes I can hit way past 12 and once hit 20 and came out okay but with a minging hangover

spirits i can drink a fair whack before i get drunk

beer? 5-6 pints.

that beer gets you drunk quicker than other things? Compared to like, vodka drinks or white wine or something. Or maybe it's just that I don't really FEEL as drunk when I'm drinking those

being irish everyone expects us to be hardcore drinkers, and fair enough alot of us are, but ive got some mates who drink 4 beers and there drunk as fuck, me myself i can drink about 12 beers and then im pretty drunk, "fun drunk" as they say,

three square meals - 6 or 7 drinks?
hardly anything - TWO SIPS BITCHES.
(i drink rum, by the way. sailor jerries 'ftw')

i'm pretty much a lightweight, aren't i? ah well, i never really get drunk anyway, too much effort to look like a tool when i can do that completely sober, standing still.

At lunchtime, not much at all, a couple of pints is enough to get me happy.

In the evenings, a bit more. I can knock back vodka all evening, but wine and beer gets me pissed quite quickly. About 6 pints is enough to get me trashed, hooray for not weighing anything.

Which is say 11/12 units.

Have managed 6 cans of Scrumpy Jack in a 4 hour period before, 18 units. Felt pretty wrecked.

It can be anything from not much at all to a crap load. Depends how much I have eaten that day and how much of a hard day I have had.

I think it really depends on how high your tolerance level is at the time (and also, to a certain extent, your mood). Last Sunday, I got a hangover with three pints of Guinness after early-afternoon drinking. I wasn't in a great mood because that social event didn't go so well.
Otherwise, I don't know, haven't really counted specifically, but probably anywhere between six and 12 - over a reasonably slow period of time.

There's an awful lot of things I can't drink though. Sigh.

of motherfucking vodka

and had 3 pints fosters, 3 double frisky bisons (zubrowka vodka and apple juice), 3 double jd and cokes, 2 shots of black sambuca and a pint of strongbow. the fact that i can remember everything i drank means i wasn't that bad.

Beer, four or five pints will get me swaying, six or seven and I'll be passing in and out of consciousness :/

It's never pleasant to drink that much beer.

Whiskey though, I can seemingly knock back all night. I mean, I have two or three doubles and I then feel drunk, but if I carry on I don't really feel that much more drunk until I've had... twelve plus. And even after that much, it's never shadowed by the slipping in and out of being aware and awake.

A bottle of red wine to myself, and that's fun. I'll be drunk but rational, talkative but thoughtful.

I mean I hit the tipsy stage pretty quick, like second to third drink (especially beer/lager) from there the process slows down a little.

Just on pints alone (I'm another who's in the shorts after pints club) I think about five pints maybe six at a stretch. Shorts after that seems to level everything out.

it all depends on mood / what i've eaten etc.

Some days i could go through 9 pints, others 4

Luckily i can confirm this as it was the end of exams so we each had our individual drinks 'tally' marked on our arms.

Normally it'd take maybe 5-6 cans of lager, a couple of pints when I first arrive and then maybe 4/5 JD and cokes then I'm pretty good.

Probably 5 pints though.

Id I'm on drams then it would be about 8 or 9 Southern Comforts.
