I'm 6 ft 3, 240.
Quick example - a friend of mine's birthday. I showed up late cause I was at a meeting of sorts (had 2 pints there), and when I got to the bar with him I drank 2 pitchers (6 pints), and had a variety of shots at the bar. This put me at a total of 8 pints over about 4 hrs, as well as about 8 shots.
Walked my friend home. On the way, some cops pulled up and told us to hurry up, cause my friend was drunk as fuck (as were a couple of others).
The cop told me to take care of everyone, since I appeared to be the most sober there.
One of the people there actually had nothing to drink that night.
Friend got too drunk, so he crashed at my place instead. While he was on the couch throwing up, me and one other person were still taking shots. We split a 26er (~750 ml). At the end of this, I was barely buzzed. And pissed that I was only barely buzzed.
I woke up at 7 am (before my alarm) with no hangover, only a craving for some greasy food like bacon (which is pretty normal for me anyways, drunk or not).
So, ya, I see 8. And raise 8.
I've only met 1 other person who can drink like me. We're thinking of getting a full keg and trying to down it ourselves in a weekend. ~60 litres. My share is 1/3 of my bodyweight.
I have a feeling we'll be limited by how fast our body can actually process liquids rather than the affects of alcohol in our systems lol. But it'll be an interesting experience.

It also depends on what you're drinking, btw i looked it up 1 pint=16 oz for us americans. So like one of those extra tall beer cans. Normal beer can is 12oz.
But yeah if its some crappy light beer (3%) or some of that thick 20 proof (10%) german shit or whatever you Europeans drink theres a big difference. Standard beer (budweiser, heineken) is 5% and then there's malt liquor (colt 45, olde english) which is about to 6%.
So i usually drink either of the last two, so around 5-6% stuff. 8 pints of that = 128 oz = about three 40s. Thats around puking and blacking out amounts for most people including myself unless like Sadist said you spread it out over 5-6 hours. For a normal night id say 5 pints (80 oz) = me pretty significantly drunk.
When you talk about a Pint of beer you typically are talking about the British pint which is 20oz, making 8 pints 160oz.
That's beyond blackout level for most people.

8 or more... jesus. What the hell are you guys drinking pints of... Lemonade?
I'm 5'10" and 15 odd stone and I'll fall asleep after 6-7.
Although perhaps this high poll could relate to some countries having a different type of beer? I know American beer is on average a lot lighter than what we have over here... Generally pints of lager/ale in England are 5-6%

8 Pints are about 4-5 Litres? (Seriously, please change your stupid counting systems to something civilised countries use  ).
Thats a pretty big amount but not like "nearly" impossible or anything (thinking of "normal" Beer so ~4-5%)... I believe i drink this quite often when i'm out. We also mainly drink beer and only very few/no shots and change it later to drinks (thats when things get "evil" - Cuba Libre  ) :p...

American beer is like 4.5-5% Alcohol, it's the fact that major brands like Miller, Bud, etc. all make really weak flavor beer, which amounts to little more than water with some suds.
That being said, is there any beer that people know is available in the Dallas area that's more full-flavored, but still appealing to a relatively new beer drinker? I've been looking around, but never found much aside from commercialized brands like Guiness (which I heard is bad) and Sam Adams (which I am curious about).

1 tall asahi beer and I'll be wasted.
1 smaller bottle of crown royal and I'll be buzzed.
1 bigger bottle of johnny walker blue/black/gold and I'll be drunk.
3 bottles of soju and I'll be wasted.
5-10 rounds of so-mek-sa and I'll be wasted.
5-10 cocktails and I'll be buzzed.
True story.

Only time I tested this out was when I had had a bad day at work, 8 pints of guiness in an hour and a half got me drunk.

Well, as one who voted 8, we didn't get a set time. For me yes it would be over ~ 5-6 hours, about the duration of a party or hanging out night. On March 25 2011 12:43 Filter wrote:
Going to go ahead and call bullshit on 8 pints. There's no way 40% of the people here could drink 8 pints within any sort of reasonable amount of time. Even more so of the people that do drink well over 50% of the people say they can drink 8 pints.
These polls are so stupid, nobody actually tells the truth.
Edit: Now what would be funny is if somebody streamed themselves drinking 8 pints. It is just a general poll there are so many factors. Like I am American, we have bad girly beer here for the most part at like 3.whatever % ABV. Where as someone from Europe might be drinking 5ish % ABV. It is just a for fun poll I would imagine, not for science. I could do that, but I don't think you would find it very amusing to watch friends and I eat pizza and play video games for 6 hours while we consume the said 8 pints :p Thats like oklahoma beer. I think light beer everywhere else is 4.2 and then regular is around 5 and ice is 5.5-6. To the guy who said King Cobra was 6..... I thought to be malt liquor you had to be like 10% or something in the US. I know 4 Loko was technically malt liquor because it was 12% as far as going to the bar goes. 4-5 Pints and id be good and buzzed. 8 id be really drunk. It could be done, but it wouldn't be good. This is over the course of maybe 2-3 hrs. 5-6 hrs you can go to bed wake up and drink again so that shouldnt even count.
It is more just like light American beer. I never said it was good, it is just what we market :p Was more directed at Bud Light/Coors Light etc. Also no, I don't fall asleep and wake back up.

what's the question here? my friends and I regularly drink more then 8 pints in a night...but I'm probably buzzed at about half that.
|
I can't drink more than 3-4 beers, I just drink beer way too slowly. I prefer shots or mixed drinks, of which a dozen or so aren't too much of a problem. Most of the time, I start the evening with 2 beers or so, and then change over to harder stuff. Perhaps change back to beer later on when I see I can't keep up that pace. I know my limits and haven't puked in years. Also, drinking lots of water when I've had enough reduces the next day's hangover considerably.

I dont drink beer because it tastes awful ...
I dont drink anything more than a glas of sparkling wine for a celebration because I get very sleepy from larger amounts of alcohol. Its a curious special trait of my body coupled with the conscious decision not to look like a drooling idiot when sleeping on the floor due to too much alcohol.
So I have never ever had too much to drink in my not so short life.

A couple years ago I used to be able to put down 8+. My tolerance has gone down since then and I probably could only handle 5 or 6 nowadays. It doesn't really matter for me anyways because I've given up binge drinking.

I bet half the people that said 8 pints can't drink that much

Well probably, also what is meant by tolerance, how much you can drink before puking or passing out?
How much you need to start feeling drunk? Time interval?
I usually start by 2-3 pints and then follow up if I start getting sober. I think 8 pints for the whole night if it is streched out is not quite unreasonable, but I rarely go for more than 4.

it shoudl depend on where you live and which beer your drink.. USA beer are like... pretty light 
|
pints?
what are we, leprechauns? =/

I voted 6, but the problem, as many people stated, is, this is very country biased.
8 german or english beers are quite a lot, 8 beers of water (or what americans call beer) is simply nothing.

We should go drinking! I'm 6'4 245lbs and my two main drinking buddiesare 6'1 180lbs and 6'6 300lbs.
Lets just say that we've broken the $500 mark a few times (at cheap bars).

I read in my psych textbook that Asians have the least tolerance to alcohol... =[
Don't know in terms of beer, but two bottles of soju is about the limit for me..
