Nicest pints of Guinness I had the bar man would 'push' 3/4 and pull the last bit when settled, no innuendo !

Shower of fcuking eejits. Makes me laugh that lads take this as a sign of manliness when it makes them weaker, vulnerable. If a scrap did happen they wouldn't be able to handle themselves.

100 pints in a week and posting showing off. A bit of evolution to go there.

Like I said if you think you function the same the next day after 7 pints the night before you are only fooling yourself.

I like a drink but unlike the hometown heroes posting here getting battered every time I meet a friend or on a week night isn't my idea of a good time

Everyone is different. I dont drink often but when I do go out the odd time Id probably drink 6 or 7 pints. I feel perfectly fine the morning after so long as I still get my usual 8 hours sleep and drink plenty of water. Im a fairly skinny guy so Im sure theres guys that could drink considerably more than that and feel fine enough for work the next day

I dont get why youre so insistent on the idea that your experience of how you feel after drinking is the same fo everybody ? Dont you meet people who need more sleep than you do to function the next day, or people who need way less sleep than you and are still fine and you wonder how they could possibly manage..? But they do..Just one example, but everyones bodies work and are built differently

Most of the 7-8 midweek pint heros have a lot in common.

They might be 45 but look at least 10 years older, have 2-4 chins, red blotchy faces, seriously unfit though they think they are specimens, very over weight, no leg muscle with trousers hanging on their arse, couldn't run 400 metres and if they did would need a defribulator to hand. Think they are great craic and interesting but mainly boring oul shi*es talking crap. They love chips, burgers, drinking coke and generally eating crap.

I'll leave it there so

Probably 20-30 units on a quiet week, 40-50 in a lively week, up and over a 100 on a mad week(few times a year). More than recommended but feck it as long as I can keep it from being full blown alcoholism its grand

How likely is it you go out on a week night drink 7 pints and get 8 hours sleep ?

I have a 1 year old baby and have often gone to work with a couple of hours sleep , I get through the day fine but am I as sharp as I would be if I had a proper nights sleep ? Course not , same way as I wouldn’t be if I had 6 or 7 pints the night before.

There's one thing that the people who think it's OK to have 7 or 8 pints on a school night are forgetting ; you stink of booze for half the next day.

Unearthly

Not touched it in a few months. It's a bit crap really. I used to enjoy the buzz but that wore off then I just ended up feeling drowsy and hungover next day.

Friend of mine has put away more than that over a days drinking, I wouldn’t even try to compete with him. One day recently I put away around 16 pints of Guinness plus few small ones, he devoured 25 pints of larger plus a few whiskeys. Was a full day at it now, 11am till 4am type setup but serious drinking all the same!

No wonder I laugh when I hear people think 6 or 7 pints is “a lot”.

Not in the slightest, just because you aren’t able for it doesn’t mean others have a problem.

There was 9 or 10 of us who drank pints into the mid teens that day, your suggestion would be laughed at. I know far more people who enjoy a good tray of pints than boring auld anti-craic merchants. Probably 100 people in the pub from work last night and no holds barred drinking by most, some not able for it but still wouldn’t shy away from it.

You drink 16 pints and shorts in one setting and assume anyone who doesnt is no craic

Yeah you have a drink problem.

This is why people think Ireland had a problematic attitude to alcohol. It is somewhat normalised. That is changing, though.

What’s changing? I don’t here any of this anti drink bull light weight nonsense going on in here aside from a few comical ads on tv and an odd head wreck on the tv giving out about people having a bit of craic.

It’s you who has the wrong attitude imo, thinking small amount of drink are some sort of mammoth amount.

Just for clarity, you honestly, sincerely think that drinking 25 pints of 'larger' is perfectly normal and is in no way bad for your health?

It wasn’t a show of one upmanship it was a days drinking and that’s what got drank. What do you expect a person to do, sit there without a drink for a few hours?

As for healthy who said it was healthy? I don’t anyone would say drinking 25 pints in a day on a regular basis was healthy.

There was none of that, we were standing at the bar chatting at the end when plenty who drank less were long gone to bed. Of course I’ll celebrate it, was a savage day on the beer even if I wasn’t fit to reach the 20’s myself.

There is not a single better way to spend a day than a mammoth session, nothing.

Ah, alcohol doesn’t make you interesting. If you’re dull, you’re dull. And worse with booze because of the dreaded repetition. And everyone who drinks enough slides into repetition. I’ve never encountered an exception to that. That’s the main reason it’s hard to be around people drinking if you aren’t.

Doctors tend to mentally double the unit amounts people tell them. Why would you lie about it anyway?

Pintman Paddy Losty

I get this is a message board and is not really going to attract the social type? But the Helen Lovejoy handwringing is ridiculous.

7 pints is not a lot to drink. Especially on a weekend night.

If you attend a wedding say...

You'd have a pint before the mass at 1,

Another 2 after the mass in the local beside the church.

Head to the venue (and before anyone starts hassling me about drink driving - I get the missus to drive) and you have a few gin and tonics or presseccos or whatever is free. Then maybe another quick pint.

Seated for the meal and easily have 4 or 5 glasses of wine through the meal and the speeches. Then a shot after the meal (normally the person who wins the guess how long the speeches are game buys this.)

Then the real drinking starts. Would easily have another 6 drinks (minimum) between then and heading to bed at 4am.

That's not just me. That's pretty much every guest at the wedding. (except the scowly dry ****es who head to bed at 1am because they're tired)

So that's what? Close to 20 drinks over the course of a wedding.

Yet people are acting like 7 pints is some kind of binge. It's not. Get a grip.
