With a beer bong I have easily done this in an hour or two.

The ol' stomach cant handle as much as I could when I was 18-22 though.

Yeah 10 years ago that would be a 3 hour preparty before heading out. Now? I'd be lucky to get through a 6 pack in that time before feeling disgustingly bloated. I just can't drink that kind of volume anymore.

Still drink 18 beers in an afternoon while on the golf course. A beer a hole.... with a shot or two thrown in at the half-way house....

My friend and I put down 24 bottles of Miller Lite in 43 minutes. Twelve a piece, with the assistance of a beer bong. Probably could have gone faster if we were really concerned about speed, but we were just drinking for recreation. I think we were 22 at the time.

We're 25 now and might be able to do it again if the planets aligned properly...but highly doubtful.

I'd say a little over an hour and a half if I wanted to do it comfortably. If I forced myself, I could probably drink it in an hour.

That's a $25 challenge. I don't want to burn that much:(.

I'd probably fall asleep after number 3 anyways within the hour.

I really don't know, I tend to go for micro brews with high ABVs and drink liquor straight along with that. Drinking light domestic lagers would be like drinking water. The only thing that would slow me down would be the carbonation otherwise I'd say 15 min. I'll go with an hour.

I don't know how anyone can say they've pounded 12 beers in an hour. The sheer volume alone seems impossible for anyone who isn't a competitive eater type.

I can put down 12 in 3-4 hours fairly easily. 12 crap beers on a Saturday night isn't much of a challenge.

I've done the 24 in 24 challenge...

You kiddin me? 12 pack easily, that is pre-gaming

I have a feeling many of my friends on ATOT just can't drink, finishing a 12 pack (while partying) in one night is easy. If I am not going out or anything, then if I am drinking I stick with a 3-4 beers at the most.

In college I used to be able to shotgun a six pack of really light beer (like Coor's light) in under 10 minutes, so I say I could still do it in an hour.

I might puke though.

If you have ever done a power hour, then multiply it by two. It isn't too difficult to do actually.
