How big is the drink?

Beer size = 4 for me if you mean buzzed as in good buzz. More if you mean 'head spinning and floor hitting me in the face'.

15 7% drinks in an hour would be quite a lot:D

15 beers in 1 hour is impossible. you'd pop.
Or they come back out after you drink them. If I'm going to be drinking a lot, I usualy drink strong mixed drinks because as you said, 15 beers and food do not all fit in your stomach at the same time. An hour was the wrong time frame to give, I really should have said an hour and a half.
15 beers in an hour and a half is not impossible just uncomfortable.

Takes me a good 6 pack to get buzzed. But then it quicky goes away and gets clouded by depression.

That would be more than uncomfortable. A 180lb male would peak at a BAC of ~.286.

This would depend a lot on the person though no?

That is a rough calculation based on several factors. Some will be higher, some will be lower, but the number is damn close to actual.

Hm, I've never really felt like this after 15 drinks: (although I do weigh 200lbs and I've found that it seems my body processes alcohol pretty quickly).
0.25 BAC: All mental, physical and sensory functions are severely impaired. Increased risk of asphyxiation from choking on vomit and of seriously injuring yourself by falls or other accidents.
0.30 BAC: STUPOR. You have little comprehension of where you are. You may pass out suddenly and be difficult to awaken.

Don't get me wrong, 15 drinks and I'm pretty damn toasted, it's just stupor wouldn't be a word to describe how I ususaly feel.

All of this seems pretty immature to keep going on about, I don't want to sound like I'm bragging about how much I can drink, I was just answering the question.

you would think one would lose tracks of the number of beers after about the 10th... unless its over 3 hours or something

Is this to get buzzed or get wasted?

Well, i'd get buzzed with 2-3. I'd get drunk and wasted with 9-12 drinks.

whats a 7% vodka based drink and how many ounces is in each one?

If you mean drink with 7% alochol content, it takes me about 3 imperial pints to get any buzz feeling.

Well....this question hits home for me because I haven't had a drink in about 3 months. I was drinking about 16-20 beers per day on off days and on weekends. (That was a side effect from living in germany for 5 years). Then it would take me ALOT to get buzzed and would cost me a small fortune to get drunk.

But due to my wifes constant nagging over the past half decade, I have decided to give up drinking for good. It was hard at first but now im happy and proud to have quit. When I think of all the hardware I could have bought with all that money I wasted on alcohol, it makes me sick!

It was 10+ when i was in college. Now (1 year out) it is 3-4. However, now I MUCH prefer 2 hits, due to not getting a hangover in the morning :).

I put 4 becoz it takes that many before I start to feel relaxed.

The amount I can drink varies on my mood, sleep, and general well-being. I have been known to drink myself sober on more then one occasion, and drinking 15 odd drinks in a night is not uncommon for me (no more then 4 / 5 :beer: thou, I get bloated after that!)

Edit : Real men don't bother with measures, they just swig from the bottle!
