There's a brewer called Bell's that makes a couple different kinds of "beer" (although I don't think you can be over 6% abv and officially be a beer) that are in the 11-15% range or something like that.

The sheer volume helps somewhat by introducing more water (and therefore lower % alcohol) to your blood. Think of it this way: 3 40s is almost a gallon (120oz v 128 oz). This helps a LOT compared to drinking an equivilant amount of hard liquor.

3 40's of Steel Reserve HG is equal to 18 beers right? And for bigger guys that have a high tolerance, 18 beers in 2 hours is not unheard of.

I've done it quite a few times myself, but I usually either Bong or Shotgun beers. I'm 6'1 240 and in good enough shape.

People that say OMGWTF no way you drank that and didnt roll into a gutter, either dont have big drinking friends, or hang out with a bunch of lightweights.


I know some guys that drink more than me and seem no worse off, some people are !@% crazy in what they can take. Anyone read that article about the russians drinking vodka contest :p

Haven't drank that stuff in a very long time. They do make OK ghetto brass monkeys but Mickeys works better.


I was playing High Low RB with a friend and he ended up with like 40 drinks so he pounded an entire 40 of that stuff in under a min. Well when he was done his eyes glazed over and he ran outside to yack.
