How many pints can you carry?

DarwinDude [Edit] [Delete] 66 replies 14:22, 6 December '12

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.

    Antpocalypsenow | 6 Dec '12, 14:24 | X
  • I have pretty small hands too

    DarwinDude | 6 Dec '12, 14:24 | X
  • as in quite small

    they're certainly not pretty

    DarwinDude @DarwinDude | 6 Dec '12, 14:24 | X
  • two

    and even then I struggle. SMall hands, a bit clumsy.

    PickledOeuf | 6 Dec '12, 14:25 | X
  • Three in a classic triangle formation.

    Would never attempt more.

  • I can carry 11

    if I have a tray, 3 if I have to just use my girly hands

    ryanwilson | 6 Dec '12, 14:28 | X
  • at the same time?

    Jordan_229_2 | 6 Dec '12, 14:29 | X
  • 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.

    forzaborza | 6 Dec '12, 14:30 | X
  • 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

    japes | 6 Dec '12, 14:31 | X
    Royter-Hatfood this'd this
  • 4

    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

    rich-t, japes, and justanothersheeldz this'd this
  • 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

  • I 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.

  • 4

    no bother

    didyousayhand | 6 Dec '12, 14:33 | X
  • Could do 5, as long as people don't mind me putting my fingers in them.

    deadonthestairs | 6 Dec '12, 14:33 | X
  • (The beers, not the people)

    deadonthestairs @deadonthestairs | 6 Dec '12, 14:33 | X
  • More then 3 would be a folly attempted only by the very braze or the very foolish

  • 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.

    rich-t @colinzealuk | 6 Dec '12, 14:34 | X
  • 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

    Smee | 6 Dec '12, 14:34 | X
  • (Unless they wanted me to)

    joeymahone, NickDS, fitzcarraldo, and incandenza_ this'd this
  • Standard glasses

    and wanky Belgian beer chalices are the worst for carrying multiple pints.

    colinzealuk @rich-t | 6 Dec '12, 14:37 | X
  • 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.

    eltham | 6 Dec '12, 14:37 | X
  • 3 in a triangle

    one balanced on top in the middle of the three

    chris-budget @hip_young_gunslinger | 6 Dec '12, 14:38 | X
  • DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSS stop doing that

  • 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

    Smee @deadonthestairs | 6 Dec '12, 14:41 | X
  • Yup, ^This

    And with the right glass my index fingers can keep a fifth glass in between each other

    Antpocalypsenow @eltham | 6 Dec '12, 14:41 | X
  • I can't picture this at all.

  • 8 would be tough, but certainly 6

    robluvsnic @Smee | 6 Dec '12, 14:45 | X
  • 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.

    deadonthestairs @Smee | 6 Dec '12, 14:45 | X
  • That's the 3 method, isn't it?

    Where's the fourth going?

    deadonthestairs @eltham | 6 Dec '12, 14:47 | X
  • 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.

    rich-t @colinzealuk | 6 Dec '12, 14:49 | X
  • This was supposed to be 'oh'.

    Sorry for stealing all your ^thisses, you deserve them pal.

    deadonthestairs @deadonthestairs | 6 Dec '12, 14:54 | X
  • 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

    LordLuciusBanter | 6 Dec '12, 14:56 | X

    8 with the help of my scrotum

    DanielKelly | 6 Dec '12, 14:59 | X
  • ^

    you'd be lucky to get three of them in one go

    japes @colinzealuk | 6 Dec '12, 15:03 | X
  • 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.

    urbanfox @hip_young_gunslinger | 6 Dec '12, 15:05 | X
  • 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?

    DarwinDude | 6 Dec '12, 15:10 | X
  • 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.

    I have one hand and hold one in my hand and one from my teeth.

    sexydave | 6 Dec '12, 15:24 | X

    But I'm so clumsy that I can't confidently carry more than one pint at a time.

    eltham @hip_young_gunslinger | 6 Dec '12, 15:29 | X
  • My mate brought back four once by dipping his thumb and three fingers into the pints like a claw

    Did I not like that

    untrue | 6 Dec '12, 15:29 | X
  • 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

    cat_race @untrue | 6 Dec '12, 15:31 | X
    andyvine this'd this
  • Yes.

    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.

    eltham @DarwinDude | 6 Dec '12, 15:36 | X
  • Depends. Am I'm wearing my Dirndl?

    TheWza | 6 Dec '12, 15:46 | X
  • 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.

    TheoGB | 6 Dec '12, 15:48 | X
  • you squeezed them so hard they fused together?

    cat_race @TheoGB | 6 Dec '12, 15:50 | X
  • Feels a bit unmanly to make two trips when you buy four

    Four pints is easier than three pints and a lady drink though.

    Royter-Hatfood @japes | 6 Dec '12, 15:55 | X
  • reckon I could do 5 no bother.

    two under the armpit.
