How many pints can you carry?
I can carry 3. I've never tried to carry more than that but I'd be interested to hear peoples experiences of attempting to carry 4 pints.
3
and even that is a struggle usually
I can carry five if they're in Carling or Grolsch glasses
Or at least I could a few years ago.
I have freakishly large hands for a man of my height.
as in quite small
they're certainly not pretty
two
and even then I struggle. SMall hands, a bit clumsy.
Three in a classic triangle formation.
Would never attempt more.

if I have a tray, 3 if I have to just use my girly hands
2.
No point carrying more, really, just in case.
If there's one or two of you, no worries.
If there's more than two of you, just get someone to come to the bar with you, or walk back, it won't kill you or anything.
four at a push
but this is only to be attempted when you have a clear path back to the table, if it's busy there's no chance
Royter-Hatfood this'd this4
but it always feels as though I'm fighting physics so I don't attempt it unless theres didgy looking mopes at the bar who'll swipe them
I've done 4 in the past
in a diamond formation. Only works with certain glasses tho. Rarely go beyond 3 these days as it's too much hassle
shinymcshine this'd thisI impressed a group of boys recently by carrying all of their drinks back at once
It won't kill me not to but it COULD get me laid.

no bother
I found that the straight glasses
that you get in 'spoons are good for carrying 4 pints. Not good carrying 4 in standard glasses though.
Those long straight glasses that are no longer fashionable
Really easy to carry four of those. Also ale glasses with handles - 4 is pretty easy
Standard glasses
and wanky Belgian beer chalices are the worst for carrying multiple pints.
Four.
Make a heart with your thumbs and index fingers, and a pyramid on top of that with your middle fingers. That's how I do it.
3 in a triangle
one balanced on top in the middle of the three
DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSS stop doing that
LIKE A PINT PYRAMID
*glass smashes on the floor*
*everyone looks over*

If you're allowed to get fingers in them
Which you definitely aren't by the way, there's no reason I couldn't do about eight
Yup, ^This
And with the right glass my index fingers can keep a fifth glass in between each other

Didn't think of that.
Greedily I just thought about smashing as many in one hand and using the other hand underneath as emergency support.
Divide and conquer, or something.
That's the 3 method, isn't it?
Where's the fourth going?
They are awful
They slip around and the forces that you can put to wedge 4 straight glasses together don't work on standard glasses. Don't get me started on Belgian beer glasses.
This was supposed to be 'oh'.
Sorry for stealing all your ^thisses, you deserve them pal.
I can do four if the glasses are conducive - like the plastic ones that have the jutting out top
Mostly safer to go with three.
On Saturday at the pub I go to before QPR, I was trying to carry four. The barman say me struggling and gave me a tray. Everyone stared at me with the complete derision I deserved
4 using my hands
8 with the help of my scrotum
japes this'd this^
you'd be lucky to get three of them in one go
Although depending on glass design I can sometimes managed 4.
Most of my mates seem more impressed than they should be that I can manage 3. One of the most basic man-skills, surely.
also
on plastic pint glasses (are they glasses? cups?) is the brim that juts out a bit there so that you can hold it in your teeth?
If I were you, I'd be wondering why everyone went for my post instead of yours.
You need to buck your ideas up, son.
andyvine this'd thisOnly two.
I have one hand and hold one in my hand and one from my teeth.
3
with some spillage.
I have massive hands for a woman
But I'm so clumsy that I can't confidently carry more than one pint at a time.
DaddyorChips this'd thisIt's pretty much this

see people do this all the time
absolute animals. it's not clever. if i'm drinking rounds with someone and this happens they had better believe that it doesn't count as their round. just ask for help or do two trips. easy
andyvine this'd thisYes.
They were developed by gig venues after pint-wielding punters were unable to clap the bands, causing the artists to be so demoralized that they'd just go home after 3 songs. This was also the genesis of post-rock.
Once carried four pints through a packed out Queen of Hearts upstairs to the balcony.
I just put my fingers around them and pressed them together and by some miracle they got there in one piece.
Feels a bit unmanly to make two trips when you buy four
Four pints is easier than three pints and a lady drink though.
reckon I could do 5 no bother.
two under the armpit.

:D
So satisfying.
DOESN@T COUNT IF YOU SPILL EVEN A DROP
i can barely carry 2
water, about 13

thumbs and middle fingers extended round two on each side of one clamped in the middle.
I reckon.
If they are all for me 10
if not 2
