If I'm going out clubbing, a shoulder of whiskey(350ml) and 1 or 2 beers before I go to the club has me fairly merry. Not sloppy but not too far from it

I find when I'm having a few pints in the pub it can vary a lot, sometimes 5 or so pints will have me fairly merry, other times I'd need 7 or 8 to get me to where I want to be. I find if I go for pints without a good meal in me, I can get tired drunk fairly quickly.

I've a taste for a drop of rum, I can drink that till the cows come home, but I usually water it heavily, so its no stronger than weak beer. Its an awful waste of time getting langballed. Literally, whole days and nights vanish. And it makes you useless to a woman. Whats the point?

ha ha hello

700 ml of capt. morgans over the course of about 2 an a half hours, mixed with club orange or fanta, has me perfectly pissed.

Too much some nights, too little others.

None that you can buy legally? The home brewed stuff is completely variable.

Poitin has been legal since 1997. Bunratty sells some weak piss ass stuff at farmers strength however the celtic whiskey shop in Dublin sells 90% poitin.

Was in Spain recently and the servings for shorts were generous by our measures, so about three or four large ones to be urinated here . .:p

The head is hanging off me like Oliver Plunkett. I haven't felt this bad since I woke up in Stephen's green with moss growing on my tongue. I'd make my own quietus if I could reach the hammer on the bedside table.

Redbreast is a lovely whiskey but it's not 56%? I don't think there are any spirits in Ireland over 40%?

I beg to differ sir...

Well, I stand corrected. Apparently there is no legal limit on spirit strength!

Really strange that the same whiskey, of the same age, comes in different strengths.

Seems my google foo is weak.

Well 40% is the minimum accepted not the maximum for whiskies I think. When they're in the barrells maturing they're 56%+ usually and then they're watered down to 40% to reduce production costs and make it more palatable to the causal drinker.

12 bottles, 8 cans or 2 bottles of wine........ half a bottle of fine spirits back when I was allowed

1 packet of Lidls Brandy Barrel liquers - legless.

Havent been pissed on beer in years. Can't physically drink enough of it for me to stay on it for the night. Usually full of it by 6 pints. Then if I move onto rum or whiskey, 5 or 6 of those and I start having difficulty with speech and motor functions!

Yesterday I had a bottle of wine, a naggen and 7 cans, drank over about 8 hours playing cards, so slow and steady wins the race and all that, was drunk but not at all messy.
If I'm going clubbing I'll have a naggen and 2 or 3 cans before I head out, and whatever when I'm out then, just depends on the mood.

I have very little tolerance for alcohol.
For me its more like:

2 pints = Merry
4 pints = Pissed
6 pints = gllllaaaarrrrgh
8 pints = Hospitalisation

goodie2shoes

Very little I would reckon.

I haven't drank alcohol in over 6 months.

It actually takes a good bit considering how little I ever drink, I'd go through a sight of cans without even noticing it.

About 6 pints and then a double or 2 and I'm Mad Fore Ih!
