nothing beats good german bier!!!

Oh sh1t! I forgot about my time in Munich.

I'm a junior in high school in Munich on our school's trip. Our last night there, we go to the Hofsbreau (sp?) House (largest beer hall in Germany) for dinner. To our suprise, we are all served dinner with a liter of fine German beer. This was my first experience drinking, really, so I had no clue how alcohol affected me and how much it would take.

Dinner was a nice half-chicken roast. I polished off my beer and those of the two girls who were sitting on either side of me since they didn't like the beer. That's right, 17 year old me drank 3 liters of German beer in ~2 hours. One of my friends did very similar. I have a hazy recollection of the entire night (I've never blacked out in my life). I remember having to hold on to the two girls because I couldn't walk by myself. We stopped at a McDonald's where they coaxed me into drinking water by convincing me it was beer (not too hard). It was there that I made some remarks about some Germans who were staring at me.

I finally made it back to the hotel where we were staying and to my room where I promptly projectile vomitted, though most of it made it into the toilet thankfully. I slipped on the tiles and must have fallen pretty hard, because one of my teacher chaperones (my then English teacher) knocked on the door and asked if everything was alright. I'm not sure if she knew I was drunk or not. I passed out.

The next day was hell because we were flying home and I was still hungover and occasionally puking. I also had vomitted hard enough to pop a blood vessel in my eye, which was now full of blood. Luckily, I started feeling much better right as we were getting ready to board the plane.

Let me tell you about a night of free Soco and lime shots... yeah, free shots is NEVER a good thing. I think I had probably 10 of them, plus about 8 or 9 beers. Needless to say, the rest of the night was a bit of a blur, with the esception of two things: me stealing a friend of mines sandal, and trying to throw it down the street, only to hit a complete stranger who wasn't more than 5 feet in front of me square in the face. After racing off, I went back to my room where I tried to do chinups on one of those excersise bars you put up between a door frame. Well at 6'5" 275, the bar couldn't quite support me. So while at the peak of a chinup, the bar bent in half, I fell back and landed full force on the hardwood floor, smacking my head on the ground. Needless to say, the rest of the night is a complete blur, but I apparently was in the bathroom throwing up for about 2 hours... and the next morning SUCKED!

Never have I touched Southern Comfort since then.

Ha, I can drink half a bottle of vodka on a weeknight and go to work the next day. The most I ever drank was when I went to a housewarming party for one of my friends from school. He moved into this sick loft apartment with a huge living room and a full bar. They had a bartender handing out free drinks all night. I drank a dixie cup (the big red ones) full of Jack Daniel's, had a shot of Patron, did 3 or 4 Jello shots, had another dixie cup full of screwdriver, another of Rum and Coke, and about three beers. I ducked out of the party at about 1:30, not realizing quite how drunk I was. So I got in my truck, intending to wait a few minutes to sober up and then drive home. Well, as I sat there I realized how horribly intoxicated I was, which made me nauseous. I got out of my truck, threw up a couple of times, got back in and started pounding some Gatorades I had in there (thankfully, or else I would have run out of liquid to barf up). I then had to puke again, but this time I didn't make it out of my truck and barfed out the window, all over the side of my truck, which I had to clean off the next day. I passed out in my truck and next thing I knew it was 6:30 in the morning. So I drove home and went to sleep. But now I stay away from hard liquor. Takes too long to hit me for me to gauge it correctly. I know how many beers I can drink, though.

Funniest drinking story: NYC roadtrip with buddies, we get to timesquare at 1am, get a hotel room, and then hit a bar at something like 3am.
We hadn't eaten since we left Toronto, Ontario. That's more then 8 hours.

We have around 10 drinks (shots, rum and cokes, etc) before we notice the bouncer talking to the bartender and pointing at us.
During the walk home from the bar, I almost walked through a red light, gave a guy change thinking he was a bum, and tried to look sober walking through the hotel's lobby. That didn't work out so well.

Most I ever drank, would be along the lines of 20 shots, a few mixed drinks, and then a double shot of 151 at the end. Woke up with a seriously queasy stomach, but didn't barf.

I've never barfed after drinking, ever.

1st Mets game of 1985 on a Saturday. Didn't have enough beer to play "beer an inning", so my suite-mate and I played "double shot of tequila with a triple sec chaser" If you weren't finished the instant the commercial came on, you had to do a "penalty shot" - a shot of root beer schnapps. To this day, I don't know who won that game. By the last innings, we didn't even know if it was the top or the bottom of the inning. And, that was just the beginning. I remember having a black russian at a friends dorm room on the way to dinner. I recall 4 of us sitting in an elevator after dinner, an empty beer can holding the door open between floors. I remember smoking a cigar, and playing quarters at a frat party - I was losing. The last thing I remember was staring at the chest of a well endowed female for what may have been hours while I was pseudo-conscious on a couch. All over the course of about 14 hours.

half a handle is not the same as half a bottle. by bottle, i assume you're referring to a fifth. a handle is about 2.5X the size of a fifth....and i do believe the volume of the standard fifth was decreased a few years back. now it's 750ml; think it was 1 liter before?

The most I ever remember drinking in one night was 18 beers, two rum and cokes and a xanax, but after that xanax I don't remember a single thing until I woke up in the back seat of my car with a person I'd never met before driving it and my friend in the passenger seat passed out.

I *might* have over done it that night, apparently I kept drinking all night long from what others told me and even smoked some but I honestly don't recall a single thing after that pill until about 10AM the next day.


Drugs and irresponsible drinking are bad.

This was like 9 years ago FWIW.

I see this thread is still kicking around, so her is my $.02 worth:
Personally, I think I drank 12 beers once before passing out. I am extremely alcohol intolerant.
Haven't drank anything in 19 years now, though.

And, BTW, all you folks that are bragging about these outrageous amounts of alcohol you can and/or do consume really need to be careful. You don't really want to end up an alcoholic (or worse, a homeless alcoholic) do you?

I wonder how much these figures are exaggerated considering the amount of computer geeks here. I guess I didn't realize they were so hardcore.

As for myself, the most was probably a 12 pack, maybe a beer or two more.

Roughly three quarters of water bottle (~14oz) of 100 proof Smirnoff during one of my lunch periods last year (20 minutes at most).

You know, for people who have allegedly drank themselves to blacking out, many of you have an amazing ability to recall exactly how many drinks you consumed to get you to the point of passing out.

I'm 17 and have never really drank. The most I have ever had is a little sip of Brandy which was way too strong, lol. That was just last week.

I've usually don't keep an accurate count.. especially when mixing shots in here and there.. one time where I actually kept track I drank 17 beers out of a case. My roommate thought he could outdrink me, so we each bought a case. He stopped at 16, so I stopped at 17 since it was end of semester and noone else was around to drink. That was around 15 years ago.
Last Saturday though, I must have had at least 8 shots of Vodka, Cognac, and Crown Royal.. and about 10 beers throughout our bar travels in Cleveland. We started drinking around 2:30pm when we arrived in town.. so all those drinks were kinda spread out.

One time I had a couple glasses of wine, two or three beers, and a shot or two. I think there was a couple of mixed drink in there too, but this over quite a few hours and after a meal. Later we did car bombs, I think I had two. That night was byfar the most I ever drank but because it was over well.. the night ... i didn't get totally smashed.

A little more time and practice, and we can make an alcoholic of you.
