Woah woah woah...I'm all for the tall stories and all, but a 12 pack in an hour? I've seen guys funnel 3-4 beers at a time and they're out of order for the next 45 minutes, so I can't see how someone can swallow 12 beers in an hour and get away with it.


As for the question in the OP, I can only estimate, since once you get to a certain point, you have to go with a "range". So I'd say that range is somewhere around 18-22. Those days are long gone though :)

hmm.. 1 day... 24hrs.

In my younger days I visited small scale LAN parties about 4-5 times a year.
probebly had more than a few 24hrs gaming periods during those.
Beer (5%) was was drunk with an average of about 1 per 30-45 min. so I guessI would be somewhere between 30-45 bottles.

Hard to say. On a good Saturday in the summer out on the boat I can finish off a 12 pack in 4 hours. I am sure some of my Spring Break trips ended with lots of beers consumed. I am going to guess 16 beers. I tend to get shitfaced and fall asleep. I will rarely drink all day. And when I do it is at a very slow pace. Barely able to get a buzz.

Long Beach Grand Prix weekend with my friends is usually a drink fest from 10AM-10PM. I've probably consumed 10 or so beers in that time.

Normally, I might have anywhere from zero to one drink a day.

Maybe 20-24 in a single extended session. I used to routinely polish off 12 packs solo.

How do you guys drink that much beer in a setting?
Around 4 cans and my bladder will be about to explode.
I only like to beer with food, drinking beer to get drunk takes so much effort.

16-20. That was while camping though, over the course of a day. I don't consume that much on even a weekly basis.

One of my favorite events is the case race. Grab a 24 pack for you and one for a friend, sit down, see who finishes first.

Record for 24 beers is 2 hours 54 minutes. (this was a poor decision)

From noon till I quit (probably 2 am) easily a 30 pack. This usually happens only when I'm in hunting camp or trout camp and I know that I am not going anywhere and two nights before I go out and hunt. (I drink beer while I fish though). If I throw liquor in the mix, that number goes down drastically. Liquor makes me lay down and slober.

No I don't count. I start with a 30 and have none left the next day. This doesn't count beer I get off of others when I run out.

When I was young I could put back a decent amount. My record was 12 in an evening. Never drank for extended periods during the day, just when I'd party at night.
