How much drink does it take to get you pissed?

Deus Ex Machina · 08-06-2012 01:19PM #1

Lovely aul night of drinking set up for me later. I'll be over to my friends house and we'll go through a few bottles of wine while we discuss the finer points of Proust's later works. I'll be rocking up pissed though, I can tell you that for nothing. How I'll get there is as follows: 200 ml of 56% Redbreast whiskey, two glasses (250 mls) of 12% white wine (from Gascogne if you're wondering). Then I'll hope on the bus and en route I'll finish a 200 ml bottle of Hennessy at 40%. I'll arrive alive and at the correct standard of pissed for appropriate interactions to occur.

I'll rock up and refused wine for a while to give an air of normality, then I'll eventually acquiesce to his demands and I'll be out of control drunk and who knows where that'll end.

So what about you, how much do you need to get a lovely drunk on?

FatherLen · 08-06-2012 01:21PM

Are these the same friends who don't want you around when you're drunk?? Is the whiskey to drink or to put on your erect penis??

FunkZ · 08-06-2012 01:25PM

A bottle of wine and three or four pints, always ends up with me being an awesome prick!

Kev_2012 · 08-06-2012 01:25PM

Happily pissed where I know what I'm doing :

Maybe 6-8 pints or 350ml of spirit (vodka/captain morgan)

Langballed drunk where I'm down several friends and have a sexual harassment case against me the next day :

12-14 pints or 700ml spirits

judgefudge · 08-06-2012 01:26PM

6 pints and I'm usually wiped out

Peetrik · 08-06-2012 01:26PM

Can't drink for most of the year because of sports so I've sod all tolerance for alcohol.

2 pints = fairly merry
5 pints = pissed (add shots for completely smiz'ashed... I do whenever I can)

cocoshovel · 08-06-2012 01:27PM

4 pints

neil_hosey · 08-06-2012 01:27PM

no idea of an exact number because i rarely get there anymore, but it has to be around 15 or 16 before im shítfaced.

Unless of course theres wine or shorts involved.

At this stage the pints they do nothing

kfallon · 08-06-2012 01:28PM

OP you gonna bang the arse off your inflatable dolls when you get home later on???

scholar007 · 08-06-2012 01:29PM

A lorryload of porter and then Supermacs staff will be cleaning the jacks for the night

08-06-2012 01:29PM

Not many at all.

BunShopVoyeur · 08-06-2012 01:29PM

Around 6-8 pints usually does the trick, beyond that I'd start to feel messy. Although my eyes tend to glaze over slightly after the first couple.
Been refused from places after having one or two before.

Damn eyes!!

girl in the striped socks · 08-06-2012 01:30PM

Seriously op do you not think you might have a problem? Knowing you are going to meet friends & deliberately knocking back a concoction to get drunk before you get there is a bit extreme.

Anyway, it depends on my mood & how tired I am. I have been known to get pissed on two glasses of wine if I'm in bad form & tired. I have also been known to drink approx 14 brandy & 7ups without it having any affect on me.
I usually stop drinking when I feel my head going all funny.

08-06-2012 01:30PM

i rarely drink and then usually not more than one or two so eh not much

castletownman · 08-06-2012 01:30PM

It's all about pace and time on the beer.

For instance, if I decided to go on an all day bender on a Saturday, I would average maybe a pint an hour, and could perhaps get through 9 or 10 before I start to get drunk.

But if I went out at a "normal" time, say 9 p.m. my pace would be much shorter, maybe a pint every twenty minutes, so would inevitably get drunk quicker.

I'd be a wise old man when it comes to the finer points of binge drinking.

FinnLizzy · 08-06-2012 01:31PM

I can tolerate up to 8 cans of the same beer. I can expect a hangover if I don't brush my teeth or eat sufficiently.

That being said, by the time I reach can 8, it isn't enough.

Rocky_Dennis · 08-06-2012 01:33PM

It varies for me depending on mood, if I'm tired and haven't eaten properly all day, 5-7 pints will get me pissed, if I'm hungover, I could drink 12 pints and still be fairly ok. Generally though if I'm not tired and have eaten properly, 8-9 pints will get me pissed.

Sugarlumps · 08-06-2012 01:33PM

Bottle of Absolut raspberry vodka & cranberry juice & crushed ice, ice crusher was the best thing I ever bought. Okay on a bottle, anymore and I’d be probably cutting it fine.

You terrible, terrible person.

As for the booze it depends what I'm drinking. Find it hard to get pissed on pints unless I have all day to do it as I tend to get really full and have to go vomit to make room for more before the drink takes full effect.
Whiskey is another story. Half bottle of the water of life and Im a happy boy. Any more and I'm an inconvenience to my friends, full bottle and I'm an inconvenience to the police.
Ideal amount is a half bottle of Jamie or Jack in the cinema and then a few pints of Magners or Guinness in the pub

mauzo · 08-06-2012 01:34PM

Oh was pleasantly surprised last weekend, I'm a 21 year old girl and can put a fair bit away.

I had 7 pints, 5 jaegar bombs and a bottle of red wine.

I neither pissed nor shat myself, and didn't vomit in my sleep. Woo

Off out tonight, will have a few beers and a bottle of wine and puke my ring up I bet..

herisson · 08-06-2012 01:36PM

well a 700ml bottle of Captain Morgans causes me to pass out 7 miles away from home and magically wake up in my wardrobe at 3 am with no memory of what happened.

Usually a cheap bottle of wine or a naggin of vodka gets me tipsy/ merry
mix the two together and im shítfaced
a shoulder and 3 cans will get me shítfaced too
Bulmers Pear mixed with Mickey Finns gets me tipsy/little drunk if i have enough of them!

Logical Fallacy · 08-06-2012 01:36PM

Back when I did drink pints would get me drunk pretty quick, but I could drink whiskey all night and be fine.

It's been so long since I drank I'd say walking past a pub would get me **** faced now.:D

DEFTLEFTHAND · 08-06-2012 01:37PM

I find with beer its impossible to tell, I've a big engine and when I go on a bender I can stay in a drunk haze for hours without going over the edge and descending into a debilitating state of inebriation.

With spirits the process is more swift, for instance a couple of bottles Gordons dry gin accompanied by a light mixer will have me floating in a warm cloud, If I switch to beer at this stage I slowly regain stamina and the old engine cranks up again. If I continue heavily on the gin I'll pass out at some point and not remember much when I regain consciousness.

ScumLord · 08-06-2012 01:37PM

Depends how stoned I am. If I'm very stoned, one pint=drunk. Two pints=Shleepy time.

Under the table, you say ? and what's wrong with being civilised and sitting at a table.

That doesn't necessarily mean your a lightweight by any means, you experienced a phenomenon known as half bottle botch, where the body reacts badly to the first intakes of alcohol. It can be overcome by continuing to drink the substance that initiated the vomiting, you'll adapt quite quickly second time around and a roaring session usually follows.

Princess Peach · 08-06-2012 02:00PM

With almost all alcohol it really depends how much I've had to eat, and how much sleep I'd gotten that day, so can't really say for sure.

Except with beer. 3 pints and I'm gone. I'm known as Princess 3 pints Peach.

EddyC15 · 08-06-2012 02:01PM

Recently I've found that it really depends on what I have to eat. I could keep drinking all night long and remain fairly sober after having a good meal but if I've just had a snack I'll be very tipsy after three pints.

paddyandy · 08-06-2012 02:07PM

The ability to drink a lot is no index of health . Fools believe it is though .

Swap the Captain Morgan with Southern Comfort and that's my drinking limit also.

IvySlayer · 08-06-2012 02:09PM

The flirtiness on here lately is getting cringeworthy....

I'm a lightweight...

dr.bollocko · 08-06-2012 02:22PM

MOD:

Sydneyfyfe, rockydennis, nothingbetter2d.

Yes. You three.

I have gone through this thread and removed near 20 posts of flirtatious off topic crap. Make no mistake. It was drivel.

And we can't stand it.

Take the thread spoiling flirting to PM, email, gchat, IM, facebook, twitter, anywhere other than here.

Many strange things are posted on boards.

However, if, during your time here, you are thinking about using the winky smiley face or talking about the size of your penis or trying to organise a spitroast with two other boardsies, stop. Stop dead in your tracks and do not hit that submit reply button.

Stop and think for a second about what you have learned here today.

Fair warning.

I think you should read post #47.

On topic, I can drink about 12 pints before I have to be taken home. I try not to drink that much these days though, renders me basically useless for much of the following day.

How much drink does it take to get you pissed?
