This. He could do it if either a) he threw it up right after or b) he was a professional alcoholic by 18 and had some serious tolerance built up. In my drinking prime (junior year of college), I did 3/4ths of a fifth in .. geez, 2 minutes at a binge drinking event and I got pretty hammered but made it just fine. I shudder to think what would happen if I tried a repeat challenge.

I had a friend that could do a fifth of Schnapps (36 proof vs. the 80 proof of vodka) in 35-40 seconds. I tried and failed multiple times.

I saw the guy win bets on this more than once.

Unless they did it over the course of many hours... Ask him the timeframe he drank it in.

bottle of vodka in 8 hours is not the same as in 16.

The thread title is specifically asking about "straight chugging" the bottle.

Yes, but then the OP said in one sitting, which is NOT straight chugging.

I've killed 3/4 of a fifth of rum in about 45 mins before. Probably the most alcohol I've consumed in a short amount of time, and also probably completely unnecessary/stupid because after a certain point drunk is drunk.

I drank about 40 oz of 100 proof Smirnoff within about 15 seconds. For one, it BURNS intensely. I ended up throwing up all over inside the University at Buffalo. I was so wasted I went out to my car to sit and it took me like 20 minutes to find it, despite the fact that it was parked pretty close. I tried as well as I could to stay awake to sober up, but I ended up passing out within like 4 hours of consuming it all.

Possible, but he'd be seriously messed up.

When I was young and stupid I "invented" a catch-up drink that I'd have if I was late to a party. I'd take a pint glass, fill it 7/8 of the way up with rum, top it off with coke, then chug it and then suck on a 2L of coke to kill the taste. I'd be fine for about 5 minutes, then almost instantly messed up. I guess that's half a 26er, so I could see doing a full one, but you'd be really quite seriously messed up after it.

A friend of mine and I also used to have a big dinner then pre-drink before going to the campus bar. We'd split a 40 oz bottle of rum in an hour and that'd do us for most of the night. This isn't bragging as I'm not exactly proud of it, but it does offer some reference.

Ah, my stupid years. I sure don't miss 'em. If I drank that much now I'd be sick for sure.

Obviously I missed that.

And to the op, a buddy and I split a 750ml of lemon gin straight when we were about 16 - 17 yo , I couldn't move for 2 or 3 days without puking. To this day the smell of it makes me sick.

Shens. Young people greatly overestimate the amount of alcohol they consume in one night.

He said he did it straight out of the bottle, continuously.

Its complete bullshit.

I drank 750ml of vodka in slightly less than 2 hours. Needless to say the next day I found myself on my bathroom floor with puke all over.

I dont remember anything after the first two hours...

Hasn't everyone done somehting like this in their quest for maturity?

I downed half a fith of Canadian Club in one pull from the bottle. So downing a fifth of vodka, sure - death may be imminent from that much alcohol in the system but definitely doable.

Its next to impossible for one person to keep an entire fifth down if its drunk in a short amount of time.

I saw my friend do this with a 750 of jameson.

He was incoherent within an hour, puking in the shower within 1.5 hours.

Hmmm .... worst I ever done myself. I took a liter bottle of Maker's Mark (90 proof), was about 2 drinks short of being full so it's more than a .75 liter bottle but not full. Downed the thing in around 3 hours. That is I think the last time I actually threw up from drinking. According to the BAC calculator I would have had a BAC of around .31 at my body weight from that. I'm not even sure that holds the record for me, but it certainly might be. And technically I didn't throw up from drinking, when I realized just how much I'd had I went into the bathroom and stuck my finger down my throat. So I probably had a slightly lower BAC.

Having consumed 32oz of straight vodka (2 party cups), I will say that this is NOT possible. And I assume by one sitting you mean from beginning to end with no breaks, not just one "sitting", which may very well be a few hours.
