Please guys don't go out experimenting tonight!
Just curious. How BAMF are tl members in a pub/how broke do they get after a night out at the local tavern? (this poll is for pints.) (1 pint = 500ml) (1 1/2 of 330 bottles = 1 pint.)
In terms of beer. by pints. 8 pints=4 litres. 2 pints =1 litre.
For the folk going in by hard spirits....That's hard to say. After serious experimentation with hard liquor. Nothing nails me down. But the ones mixed with something fizzy. So I guess hard liqueur is hard to quantify.
Poll: How many pints?8 or more (331) 41% None I don't drink. (216) 27% 6 (83) 10% 4 (65) 8% 3 (37) 5% 5 (34) 4% 2 or less than (33) 4% 7 (11) 1% 810 total votes Your vote: How many pints? (Vote): None I don't drink.
(Vote): 2 or less than
(Vote): 3
(Vote): 4
(Vote): 5
(Vote): 6
(Vote): 7
(Vote): 8 or more
What brought this on?

I've got a flat out empty stomach but I was having a crap day so I went off to have a pint. Yes just a pint. Let's just say I could be better.
Edit: somehow my polls are always vague. Sigh.
|
For me it's usually around the 4th beer I start to feel anything, so I'd say 3 is my tolerance.

i dunno what it translates to but i commonly will drink more than 12 beers in a night in american terms
|
How exactly do you define tolerance? Amount before you feel anything, tipsy, drunk, puking, or in the hospital?
|
It depends on what my aims are. If I'm just going casually with mates, it'll be around the 4/5 mark. If it's as a place before going to a club it can be anywhere upwards of 10, although I usually just buy a crate from the supermarket as it's a tad cheaper.
|
How in the world is the threshold so low at "8 or more"???
Well, maybe I should clarify, what do you mean by "tolerance"? At 8 or more I'm not blacked out and not throwing up, but I'm definitely roaming around being drunkardly.
|
What's a pint? A liter?
On a normal Friday I'll drink about 3 liters with my buddy's and be pretty ok.
After the 4th 5th depending on the speed of the intake it starts to get bad...
I hardly drink any hard alcohol, beer's awesome :D
EDIT:
Ok so an Imperial pint is 568 milliliters.
That means I can have about 9 pints in the course of 2-3 hours and be as good as sober when talking to somebody (depends on food of course)
If I'm taking down more than 4/5 pints and hour i'll be drunk >.>
|
lol really depends on what I've eaten that day but usually the 2nd PINT I'll start to feel something - after the 4th, I feel a bit less... Then there are night that I split a 18pack with a buddy and don't remember how the beers disappeared (not related to memory loss)

I'm taking care of drunk people when I have twice that in me -_- EDIT - that's about 8 pints.
Sooooooooo expensive to go drinking heavily, so I've started nursing my pints, and getting good stuff instead. Drinking to get drunk doesn't work for me.....
|
depends on the alcohol content. 40% i can prob finish 750 mL.
|
After a certain age you stop counting them  .
|
Im not sure what you mean by tolerance, do you mean the amount before you start to become properly drunk? about 10 pints for me but 6 gets me in that happy chill state.
|
3-4 beers before feeling it, I'm a lightweight.
|
For me it's entirely based on the amount of food I've eaten, my level of hydration before and while drinking, and the amount of sleep I've gotten. If I've eaten normally, had plenty of water, and gotten plenty of sleep, I can easily pack away 10+ beers and be quite coherent and functional (I drink a glass of water between every 3 beers or so). Inversely, if I've gone for a while without eating, been dehydrated, or gotten very little sleep, 3-4 beers can have me walking on my lips.
|
Lightweight so 4 beers usually

Depends on a million factors. Sometimes I don't feel safe to drive after one pint, sometimes I feel sober after several.
|
depends.
last weekend I had about 5 pints but I ate a ton of food, and I literally felt nothing
on St Patrick's Day I had a few drinks after class on an empty stomach and I was feeling pretty drunk after like 4 pints
I guess I'm a 6 pint'er or so
|
At mardi gras a couple weeks ago the only things i consumed on fat tuesday were a bowl of gumbo, 750ml of vodka and 1 liter of mountain dew. It was a good day.
|
Wow, I think it's awesome how many has voted they don't drink!
|
I can't take a lot of beer, but that's because I'm getting sick after more than 4. I can take half a bottle of Whiskey before I'm getting a bit drunk.
|
im an alchoholic and drinking beers is the thing to do.

Not really sure. The first time I drank I had 7-8 shots of vodka and was fine, not even that drunk.
A few years later, I had two large glasses of sangria and threw up.
|
You aren't including over a specific amount of time. So many people are going to put what they drink over an entire night, and some are going to put what they might pound down in an hour. Gonna skew the results a lot.
I guess you're saying "over a night" but that's still very unscientific
|
If I drink 24beers I just ruin everything with puke and blackouts... So yea there's my threshold.

Unless you had one shot every 2 hours, your friends gave you water.

Sorry, but this has to be said...
Do you know what having sex in a canoe and american beer has in common? + Show Spoiler [Brutal truth] +Both are fucking close to water
Personally I consume 12-20 beers with the odd drink/shots in between on a good friday night. Luckily my sister works at Carlsberg where they give their employees 2 cases of beer (60 beers) a month and well, she's a generous sister 
|
Usually only have 3 or 4 pints before moving on to spirits, shots and cider, I don't think I've ever gone out and just drunk pints all night, get a bit bored of going to the toilet to be harrased by those Nigerian guys selling aftershave/cologne
|
Depends on the type of beer / alchohol.

He is talking about beer.
Not the less calories, less taste, more light water thimbles in the states
|
If I drink larger slowly, like 2 pints an hour. Probably about 10. However, I have downed 3 pints in 20 minutes before and I felt more touched than drinking like 6/7 at my normal pace
|
None for me, don't like drinking and anyways I can't tolerate it since I have crohn's.
|
I don't drink, but when I was in 4th grade, I took a sip from a glass of margarita and I slept like a log after dinner.
|
This thread interests me I thought I was pretty lightweight when it comes to alcohol, I guess I'm more on the average level... (I'm 180cm and only like 140 pounds)
Does beer come in pints where you're from?
Like a can or bottle is a pint?
Thats such a strange size, 568 ml... I'm so used to measuring in Liters
Oh and German or Czech beer ftw
|
In my college days I could polish off a 26er in one evening without so much as a slur in my speech. Now, 2 beers turns me into Charlie Sheen.
|
I don't drink. Don't like the idea of it.
|
Varies depending on my mood, lol.

i can tell that i've been drinking after 2 pints and my face is definitely red (stupid asian glow) but i'm fine for a couple more after that. this is assuming it's within 2-3 hours, not over like a 6 hour night.
generally if i'm drinking it'll be only a couple beers, a couple mixed drinks, and mostly shots.
total number of drinks over a typical evening of pre-game/club/food will be 8-12.
i can't do more than 3-4 beers at once because it makes me too full. that's why i prefer shots or smaller mixed drinks like a rum&coke.
|
I dont think i ever got wasted with beer
My worst (or best!?) times for that matter were with distilled, i.e. whisky and vodka
my record was set last august, I drank like 9 glasses of whisky with redbull, each glass with around 300ml I'd say. I've no idea how I got home in the morning. feelsgoodman.
with beers I usually start to get happy with 2 litres, no idea what my limit would be, maybe 3 times that amount.
Beer sucks when you start drinking too much, you pee a lot

I'd assume a lot of TL people are underage.
As for myself, I can drink 5-6 pints cause of not enough stomach capacity. I can down around 0.5l of vodka and be nicely drunk, any more is risking it.
|
It largely depends on whether I'm eating something as well. On an empty stomach I start to feel something around the 3rd-4th beer, after which, if I continue drinking I will get trashed really fast.
|
pretty funny replies I have to say. Seems like average TLer can drink 2 bottles of vodka, 20 litres of beer, then have 5 shots of absinth and go wrestle a bear (and win).
As for me - after two beers I know I drunk some alcohol, 4-6 I'm pretty drunk, 8+ won't end well.
Btw, isn't a pint more like 450 ml?

There are imperial pints, and US pints
1 Imperial pint = 568.261485 milliliters
1 US pint = 473.176473 milliliters
Thanks google

I'm 23, I voted "I don't drink" (I do *sometimes*, about once a month, but not much - just enough to hear the bells in my head ). I got seriously drunk only once in my entire life and judging by that single event my tolerance for alcochol is surprisingly huge.

Surely you mean 300 ml of whisky+redbull, not just 300ml of whisky :D. To handle 2.7 litres of whisky, you'd have to be whale or an elephant or some sort of gigantic animal. Actually, now I really wanna see what a drunk elephant looks like.
|
americans drink BUD LIGHT pints.
|
I have no idea, I never drink just beer... usually 6-9 is what I aim for, depending on rate of consumption 10-12+ and I'm trashed.
Edit: This is in the health class metric drinks not pints
|
Yea, just checked, I'm on cellphone >.<
|
I don't generally drink beer other then with a meal, and then it's just 2 pints cause I'm not there to drink, but to enjoy the meal.
With hard liquor, my limit is 8 shots, at 10 the night has a chance to end badly.
|
I don't drink often but when I do it takes a lot to get me drunk.
I think it's partly to do with my height and weight (I'm a big guy) and probably the history of alcoholism in my family.
|
I drink until the beer is gone.. so it's hard to quantify
|
With my hyperthyroidism I can drink really much over time as long as I eat every couple of hours. I am not a real drinker, maybe 5-10 times a year, but if I would drink more, than my tolerance would be along the lines of 10 pints per night.
I never got actually got drunk, but the most I ever done was like ten beers + 6 shots in 6-8 hours.

I don't drink, nor am I underage, however I have zero beer tolerance. I don't like it, I have to throw up seriously after 3 beers(which would make me extremly lightweight). I don't really like alcohol in general(but I do like Malibu or vodka lime sometimes).
On the other hand I am asian so I have a small excuse when people complain lol.
|
I don't drink and never plan on doing so. My sister always bothers me to come drinking with her, however.

a Pint is 16 oz or a pounder/tall boy for you american folks lol. Usually I drink about 10 beers in a night or something like that, but I also take a lot of shots. It kind of varies, but then again I'm 6'4 260 pounds so I can put aware my fair share of liquor cause of my mass lol.
|
if i'm not eating while drinking i'm actually a lightweight i think. at least i seem to get tipsy before my friends but if we keep going they always throw up way before me, lol
i like being a lightweight ^^, i get where you get, but for half the price
<3
|
so 8 pints is like drinking a 12 pack?
it depends on the type of beer
if it's Guiness stout I don't believe I could stomach 8 simply because it is so thick
American lager I've drank nearly twice that when I was younger, but that isn't saying much, because the alcohol percent is so low.

I'm down with this. In college, being broke, I would make an effort to leave for the bars slightly dehydrated, so I'd get a lot more out of my beers than otherwise. I avoided getting called out by the simple act of being really skinny at the time (I'm about 6'1 but I only weighed around 165).
|
I drink beers that are like 7+ % alc, so I'll say 4 MAYBE 5?

Guiness is actually the beer I remember drinking the biggest quantity in one stand. It might be thick but what really matters after the first 2-3 pints is the alcohol.
Belgian beer on the other hand. I remember (barely) a night when I drank 4 pints of Kasteel beer and that got me completely wasted.
|
if its cheap beer like pabst or coors i can easily drink a 12 pack to myself. seems like thats what a majority of the poll people have been drinking.
|
8 or more... right.
Depends on the consumtion over time aswell as prior alcohol consumption as it increases the livers function or destroying the alcohol exponentionally (untill it fails and you get wasted from half a pint)
|
I have drunk about 7 litres of beer perhaps 3-4 times in my life. I am not doing enough sports lately and don't think i could do this right now. 8 pints would be doable for me though.

lol typical of a british person to make a thread about pints! :D
haha ive never acutally had THAT many pints.. because once i start drinking with my friends when we're getting kinda tipsy we move on to hard liquor and shots then we get all fucked up >_>
|
|
|
Yeah... I am from Munich, so I am used to drinking a lot of beer in general :o
|
8 or more, ofc im starting to get drunk but i'll still remember everything, ill walk straight and i can talk like normal
|
i'm pretty drunk after 4-5.... 6 and i'll forget most of what happened. 5.2% beer usually.
Edit: didn't vote in the poll i don't know what you mean exactly by "tolerance"

The real question is how well you play SC after drinking those pints

Ha, my school on campus doesn't even allow those light beers. It's funny, if you ask for something like a Bud Light the typical response is "we don't serve shitty beers here, sorry." I remember when someone asked if they had Shock Top once, and the owner responded with that exact same line, and the guy just stood there, pondered, and asked, "but... that's why I asked if you carried Shock Top." Pub owner stares at him, says "SORRY, NO SHITTY BEER, order now or move so I can help the next person."
PS. I like Shock Top though even if it's not exactly a classy beer .

but how big is % of alcohol in the beer? I know that in england/germany you drink something like 4 or 5%. In poland we drink 6-7% beer.

Haha this is a very good question... I see no difference in my play while drinking the first .5L of the night... I almost feel like a play a little better (shut out outside distractions)
But after a finished .5L (fine i'll call it a pint) and drinking the second one my play starts to deteriorate quickly, very quickly... After 2 pints I don't ladder...
|
What Chill said. Sometimes I feel it after one, sometimes I won't after 3.
On average though I could comfortably drink 8 pints over an evening at the pub without becoming too obnoxious.

It depends on the beer? It can range from ~0 to ~10% (in same cases even higher, but that's no longer a beer, really). You drink what you like the most.
|
I put more then 8 but I think it needs to be clarified as far as tolerance goes
|
I'm british.
Last time I got hammered it took around:
2/3 a bottle of scotch
6 Pints of Guinness
Around 5 JagerBombs
And some archers, which is only like 17.5% but It's really nice imo.
And being this way isn't always the best, If i'm having a bad day, it costs me an arm and a leg to get drunk. 
|
8 pints isnt even all that much if your drinking American beer... Our alcohol content is so low that you literally cannot get drunk off the lighter beers.
|
I can handle a 12pack of beers myself over the course of 3-4 hour ill be hammered. usually 8 im good and drunk and that about 8 pints.
|
As for the question about how well you play SC with respect to alcohol consumption - My apm went up by 30 in BW with ~750 ml of Vodka in 2 of the 3 of the Ottawa LANs we had last year (my normal apm was a bit over 100), and I definitely played better when watching the replays afterwards and sober.
I'm weird though.

I would say 2 pints is good for me.

No tolerance at all, i don't drink it and discourage others to do so.
|
I don't drink, not my thing ahah
|
At 8 pints of 5% alc content beer in less than 4 hours, I take use of the full width of a sidewalk since walking in anything resembling a straight line becomes impossible. 9 pints is as far as I ever go, because the danger of vomiting becomes imminent thereafter.
|
Very high tolerance.
When you add up a decent weight, good innate alcohol resistance and lot of training you end up being able to drink a lot.
Then again when drinking beer the problem is the size of your stomach, not how much alcohol you can stand. Hard liquor is a way better way to judge someone's resilience.
|
i dont like beer and hence i dont drink that much. better to measure in a more concentrated form that doesn't involve 5 bladder's worth of liquid.
|
You've asked a very unspecific question. It kinda depends on a million factors, of which the most important are have you eaten, over what amount of time, what's your physical and emotional state in the moment you're drinking. If I gotta speak of myself, usually if I haven't eaten anything for the entire day (due to very busy schedule) it takes around 8 pints (4 litres) of beer to take me down, and if I have eaten a solid meal it takes a minimum of 12 pints of beer to take me down, but it's usually more and I'm not taking in concern my physical or emotional states.
|
Need to define tolerance a lot more precisely before I can vote.
I get drunk pretty fast usually, but at the same time it takes a loooot for me to pass out and similar.
|
You need to define what kind of beer youre drinking, a light beer vs say oaked arrogant bastard ipa is a big difference.
|
i once drank a whole litre bottle of scotch, starting at around 8 and passed out by 9:30 with the bottle polished. it's not something i'm proud of, i think it is kind of an achievement though.
on an average night out though, i drink a 35cl bottle of vodka&energy drink and have 5-6 pints and maybe a few jager bombs, i'd say my tolerance is pretty high.
|
Are you people or alcohol guzzling monstrosities ? I usually drink 3-4 liters of wine and 6-8 liters of beer during a week, and if i drink 2 liters of wine, 6 liters of beer or 0.5 of anything over 40% in one sitting im pissed out of my skull. Guess I have a low tolerance even with all my training then.
|
I dont drink too often but I usually need around 4-6pints to get med plesantly drunk. Depends alot on the day, hydration, food and the time I use to consume it all.
EDIT:Corrected misscalculation.
|
Beer is hard to quantify as is any liquor. Beer alcohol ranges from 6%-12% hard liquor even wilder from 20%-60%.
|
so lets say the OP means a standard drink 4%.
|
Don't know about pints, but a 24-pack case of bud or its equivalent when Im on vacation.. With shots it varies. Too many variables, I go by how I feel that night which gets me in trouble. passed out once because of it. Hard liquor doesn't hit me until about an hour later so I kind of end up drinking more than I can handle.
|
About 8 normally, sometimes when im on a roll i can go up to 16, and rarely even more. Finnish drinking culture ftw.
|
I don't understand how everyone's tolerance is so high. I am 6'4" and 200lbs and I drink 2-3 nights a week. I consider myself pretty good at drinking alcohol, and compared to my peers I am. After 3 litres of beer (5.5%), even over 2-3 hours, I am done.
Not blacked out, because I can't black out off of beer, but I am drunk enough to try jumping over/onto things I shouldn't, climbing over fences to swim in peoples pools, and other such shenanigans.
Do most people voting 8+ pints eat while drinking? And over what time period are we talking here? I routinely drink 6 335ml bottles of beer watching a hockey game, but that is over 2.5hrs, and I am fairly buzzed afterwards. If I am going out, so I am powering through a bottle of wine or something, if I drink a 750ml bottle of 15% wine in 1 hour, I am drunk.
|
the beer I drink is around 6% most of the time and then it's roughly 3 pints when I'm past tippsy but not flat out drunk. so 3 or 4?

As for the question about how well you play SC with respect to alcohol consumption - My apm went up by 30 in BW with ~750 ml of Vodka in 2 of the 3 of the Ottawa LANs we had last year (my normal apm was a bit over 100), and I definitely played better when watching the replays afterwards and sober.
I'm weird though. Your username fits this post very well.
This (and a few other things) is why I have this username lol.

Internet geeks are known for uber high tolerance, so I'd say about 16-20 before I feel anything at all. Also, anything under that amount equals a very small penis.
|
Let's just say I've never gotten drunk off of beer. I've never tried consuming absolutely nothing but beer (it's either during a drinking game, which I do after a dinner, or during a meal, so there's other stuff in my stomach). So basically, I start feeling really full or even bloated before I feel any effects from the alcohol.
|
I've done six pints on an empty stomach (apparently this is how Europeans do it), and I was fine after I had some food.
I'm pretty sure I can do eight pretty easily with food beforehand and pace myself slightly.
|
6 pints and i am drunk.. More than that is gonna get me reaally drunk lol
|
Pints wtf? lol...
Beer is a waste of time and money. Seriously drinking 12+ beers you kidding me? I don't get it. You spend half the night in the bathroom?
4shots for a good buzz, done. Cheap, fast, effective. Why do people drink any other way? It even tastes better than beer if you mix it!
Just my opinion..
|
The trick with beer is you drink it over the course of the night. Yeah, half the time I am in the bathroom lol. Buying it at bars is a waste of money but I buy at beer distributer
|
1-2 drinks is enough for a good buzz. I get the asian flush, BAD, and i'm only half korean. My entire upper body turns red, I start burning up, my heart rate goes up and I get nauseous sometimes. =(
|
After about 9 beers it usually starts getting to me. I mean, obviously sooner, but I handle it very well up until my 10th. And on hard liquors I don't find myself getting very drunk. On stouts it's almost instant though.
|
I'm all of 150 pounds, so if I have more than like 8 or 10 drinks I'm fairly wasted by that point.
|
I cannot tell how much that is in beer cans and I don't really like to drink beer cans or pints so I'll do it by the soju factor.
I can take 2 full bottles of soju by myself just fine. No more though.

Just my opinion..
A half liter of beer goes down to 26 Euro cents here in Germany... Thats the really cheap shit (i still like it) And stuff thats really cheap but decent (the general consensus) is only 39 cents for a half liter...
Drinking beer IS cheap, and I like the taste. Now to go drinking you almost have to have shots with it, but I just really enjoy killing 3-4 of those half liters just kicking it, gets me buzzed but not drunk
I don't understand what people are talking about being bloated or whatever, maybe I have a huge stomach??
I'm 6" (180cm) and skinny, 140-150 pounds, and I can keep drinking beer until I'm on the floor, sure you have to piss but a bathroom break takes 30 seconds I don't wanna hear people bitching about it haha...
And drinking beer till I'm on the floor is like 10 pints in less than 2.5 hours
|
i can drink 6 pints. when I drink more, I fall asleep.
|
Depends on how much ive been drinking recently, and how full my stomach is. If i havent been drinking for a few weeks and im hungry, i can definitley feel even 1 pint (feel=notice something). But normally, to get a good "buzz" i would probably say around 6-8 pints.

i once drank a whole litre bottle of scotch, starting at around 8 and passed out by 9:30 with the bottle polished. it's not something i'm proud of, i think it is kind of an achievement though.
I did something very similar the first time I had an entire bottle of booze for myself. I was like 14-15, and I drank the entire fucking thing (0.75 litre) in roughly 30 minutes and then blacked out completely. My friends (who ended up taking care of me instead of having fun, way to go you goddamn party pooper) were terrified and thought I would die (they say I didn't breathe for a while). Totally retarded, and I most certainly learned from that mistake.

14 pints consumed during a 2hr period turned out to be my limit (in a hot, dry country, already dehydrated before the binge). I threw up that night. 12 seems to be my golden standard.

Mmm, from my experience the european way is to eat fast food while you're drunk, unless you're going to a private party or something (then you're either gonna eat from home before or cook up some drunk food* at the party). I can only speak for danish youth though.

Wtf, people complaining that they have to piss too much? Takes like 40 sec to 2 minutes and you're done (obviously this is repeated several times throughout the night, but it's honestly not much trouble at all).

drinking beer is great, fruitdealer is an alcoholic remember.
|
Hehe to much for me, bit trying to cut down on beer atm because trying to get in shape.
|
4%? that's weak. Sometimes I like to start off with something like caffeinated energy drinks (too bad It's discontinued here, well the caffeinated ones anyways) or Jager bombs before I drink a tank of beer.
I think the one liquor I can handle the most is jager, downing two 750ml bottles in a couple hours just fine. others, vodka/oj kicks my ass, start blowing chunks and sleeping in the bathroom. Again. I'm done with it.
|
I'm Irish... drink a lot.... i'd say when i hit the pub, normally 8/10 guiness before I head onto the shorts, then beers after. But I always have a good feed a few hours before the drinking commences, something with a lot o' spuds! It helps im a +6 footer tho with 15 years drinking under my belt too i guess
It's the assholes who binge drink without a decent feed who do themselves harm!
Kids these days *shakes fist*
|
I have an unusually small bladder, so why I could drink 8 pints without too much ado I usually don't cuz I'll pee like ten times rofl.
Why I prefer liquor instead of beer anyway.
|
I don't really drink beer. I drink vodka and coke.
|
err, a pint has about the same amount of alcohol as 2(more or less) shots of vodka(hard numbers according to science).
going by those numbers, I'd go with 5 or 6 pints.
haven't actually drank that much(mainly because the sole taste of beer makes me want to puke), but around 10 shots of vodka is where I start getting that "not limited by social boundaries of behavior" feeling(that gentle buzz in your head and face as your brain cells die in screaming agony)
and I haven't had any difference between hard liquer and say... a tequila mixed with 7up(actually quite good. gets rid of the burning sensation of 2015 car fuel going down your throat), other than a 3fold toilet going(makes me want to piss 3 times as much), so again, judging by the amount of shots and equating it to the amount of alcohol in beer, i'd say 5 or 6 pints.
|
I don't think I've ever drank more than 4 points, too many trips to the bathroom / not economical if trying to get drunk. It's usually a few beers with some shots in between.
|
Ive had 24 pints in a 24 hour period a few times, also had 4 litres of wine in a 12 hour period once. Those are the things I remember but I ay have had more without remembering it.

My dad used to tell me the best thing to not get wasted straight off is potatoes and something real fatty.
he said it makes the stomach take more time to absorb the alcohol.
at least I got a dad who was willing to admit his son would get exposed to alcohol eventually, so he went ahead and explained to me what i should and shouldn't do when drinking.
and being the rebellious 16 y/o moron, I went straight to ignoring what he said, and spent most of the next day feeling like i was hit by a train.

I don't drink often, because when I do I usually take a quart of rum and a dozen beer.
After that things get fuzzy and I wonder why the rats have clown heads.

Guess I have a low tolerance even with all my training then.
There is a lot of bullshit going on in here combined with the fact that no one knows what tolerance is supposed to mean. Is it buzzed or puking? Who knows. 12 pints in 2 hours and I would be plastered, and I drink a lot.
If the people I met at Chill's one time are any indication of the average TLer's alcohol tolerance there should be an option on the poll for 2 wine coolers, and it should be the majority.

Well , i think is is really subjective depending on your body mass , how long is the night , how often you drink. Sometimes i get tipsy from 2-3 pints sometimes i feel sober after 12+

I wolud drink 2-3 pints or two shots and one pint in the first hour/faily quickly, then I just entertained my generaly perfect level intoxication with sipping a pint an hour over the evening, I usualy get tired of beer at around 5 of them =) I prefer the beer+shot starter since it means I have to drink less beer.
Yes, being drunk is a nice state to be in and beer is generaly cheap and gives you something to hold in your hand so people dont ask 'you need something to drink?'.
But liking the way there? even a hint of alchol taste leaves me with abit of a sour smile while it goes down. Sometimes, this sliped away to and I can drink anything and everything without felling the taste.
Naturaly, I assumed in my youth that if I just drank more faster Id reach that state were it dosent taste bad more often, sadly "no ugly taste" evenings didnt happen any more often =(
I dont understand how people can actually like beer and whatnot for more then half a pint of realy cold beer to some dishes. It just dosent trigger that awesome yumyum nerve most seem to have for it.
I was brought up on the country, my parents never hid alchol from me and naturaly assumed I wanted to try it when I got into my teenage years. I sometimes wonder if the alchol being allowed and me getting to taste(Leaving me with a: Why do my classmates talk so much about how much of that shitty tasting beer they've been drinking.

I really think that drinking beer is an acquired taste, and among younger people(especially in countries where legal drinking age is below 21, which is alot of countries), it's something of a way to get inside a group.
personally, I think it's just like smoking.
I don't see a problem lighting the ocassional nakhla(water goes in the bottom. tobacco goes into the small blue pot. you cover that with aluminum foil, make a bunch of holes, light a special coal and place it on top of foil, then use the tube to inhale the cool fruit flavoured smoke) with a bunch of friends on weekends or something, but have only smoked about 4 cigarettes in my entire 19 year life.
smoking one of those is sort of a social activity(also, if you take two straight breaths of smoke without coming out for air, you'll start feeling the same buzzing you get when drinking, only without liver damage, since the buzz in this case is caused by you sort of drowning(complete lack of oxygen).
same with drinking. you go to a pub/bar with a bunch of friends not for the sake of drinking, but because it's a nice place to chat and laugh.
thought I don't see why beer became the model drink for social binding.
|
I like beer a lot. So I usually drink between 12-15 beers when I go out. Don't drink like that every weekend tho,
|
This poll is kind of misleading. I know you clarified in the OP, but in the US, a pint is smaller than it is internationally. This might be why the leading vote is 8 pints, people from the states probably assume you meant bottles of beer, which are much smaller than a pint. International pints are 20 fl oz, American pints are 16 fl oz, and beer bottles are 12 fl oz.

Uhh the buzz from smoking that isn't oxygen deprivation, it's the amount of Nicotine (AKA poison) your ingesting. I've had hookah/nakhla sessions with friends before, and it's quite a fun way to pass the time.
As fr drinking, like many people, it depends on my eating and such before hand. I can handle anywhere between 6 beers (about 4 pints) to about 8 pints over a few hours. By the time I hit 8, I'm usually getting to the point where I need to go home. I don't usually actually hit that limit because I can't afford to, nor do I usually feel like it. Last time I got that drunk was 2010 newyears...

Define "tolerance"
I've already voted 6, but I think that's inaccurate, although Canadian beer tends to be stronger, so it's hard to say. I can drink 10 bottles before I'll pass out, but I'm pretty uncomfortable with any more than 6 bottles... so in pints that would put me somewhere between 7 and 4. If I'm drinking to really feel it, right now I'll drink about 6 bottles and maby a shot of something. I can drink more, and I have before, but that's the point at which I start to feel like it could come up at any moment (and occasionally it does). Although I like to just drink a bottle or two at the end of the day for taste... I don't really even get buzzed by it though.

i actually struggle to find alcoholic drinks i like so my tolerance is pretty low, 3-4 beers

That's me right there. Can't drink without having to pee 30 times a night. Ridiculous stuff. Never got smashed because of that. I just can't because i evacuate it right away. My only chance at being even remotely drunk is hard liquor...

This is an awesome poll.
I've been buzzed off of 1 pint if it's a strong beer and I haven't had anything to eat. Think about lunch on a Saturday, you sleep in so no breakfast, you then take down that first pint of beer before your food hits the table... don't lie, you know you've been there
But on a normal Saturday night, good dinner/sleep/etc. I'd say 7-8 pints. After that it's either epic or miserable lol.
|
Once had a day with something like 24 pints. It was a good day (meaning of course that I remember everything, no blackouts, no nothing negative whatsoever, just some dizziness). Now my tolerance is way lower, since I'm not in college anymore.
|
I usuallly dont drink that much and most of the times not beer, but if i do go for been i usually go for like 10-12 33cl bottles.
|
I'm still 18, and CBF to go to Quebec to test my alcohol tolerance.
|
Id rather have money in my pocket than be bamf. Tolerance sucks. When I couldn't drink as much as my friends, I didn't like them buying cheap beer. Now I'm facing the same dilemma lol. (Gotta somehow increase quantity on same budget)
|
Haha, I love how the top two options are either 8+ or none at all. Nice to know TL is at the extremes, either straight-edge or binge drinking!
|
Everyone who honesrly answers 8 or more doesn't realize how much a pint is.
|
Depends over how much time, usually 8 beers?
|
two pints gives me a nice buzz. i like staying at being buzzed so i never really have to go past that, =]

about 450~500 ML, no?[citation needed]
in the UK and Ireland, a pint is 568ML(source:wiki)
but yeah, I think that this info should be added to the OP, so that people will have a measurement to work with.
I happen to know that cuz I've been to the UK a few times, and asked around, but most people from countries that use metric system(pretty much the entire world other than the US) might not know that, so, yeah.
also, seeing the poll results, the split of the TL population would be something like an upside down bell curve(edges having more chances of happening then the center or something like that).
personally, I think it's just e-peen.

At 8 pints, I remember everything that I didn't remember do to not remembering to remember.

I don't know what my tolerance with beer is. I always get too full before I get buzzed and am unable to drink any more. Usually after like three or four bottles I'm uber full.
|
My tolerance is very low now because I rarely drink anymore. A few beers and I am drunk. Use to be able to handle 2-3 times as much liquor as I can now.
|
I don't drink beer.
I usually start to feel buzzed around my third glass of wine. Usually wine doesn't get you screaming smashed drunk though, you just get more and more pleasantly buzzed until you start to get drowsy and fall asleep.

Whoop's voted for less than 2 while I dont drink.

Probably around 12 or 13 would be the maximum I'd drink on a big night. Imperial pints that is so 570ml.

I don't like beer but after about 4 glasses of Bacardi I was tipsy. Not swaying but just feeling lightheaded, never actually been full on drunk and I'm not really eager to try it either.

Last time I went out me and a friend split 6 pitchers, not that much, but I got a little buzz.
My buddy passed out though, super light weight.
|
i'm a huuuuuuuuuuge lightweight. One drink and i'm gone, but hey i'm not complaining =)

I very rarely drink, but when I do it is usually a lot.
8+ pints over an evening is no problem at all in alcohol terms, but my stomach feels full rather quickly, so I prefer whiskey or vodka.

Can't drink beer =[ get bloated way too quick T.T
i think tolerance depends on how you pace yourself.
I've had nights where i paced well and would start throwing up around 12 shots of vodka ( i dunno if thats string or weak of me =P).
I've also had nights where i would start chucking after sculling a glass of cognac.

NO ONE here will believe me, but I'm just going to say it... I really have NO tolerance level, i can pretty much drink til whoever is drinking with me passes out. Again, you don't have to believe me, but its true.. and I dont even look like a drinker

After 3 pints I'm feeling good. But I can handle up to like 12 without puking / getting sick.

it's called pacing, and eating right before you drink.
I remember two drinking contests where i had a really greasy double mac about 20 minutes earlier, made the 20 hours of hangover and the subsequent week of heavy exercising to burn away all those nasty grease and alcohol calories worth the looks people gave me when i kept drinking even though the other guy started puking on the floor.
luckily, I didn't get any alcohol poisoning, because about 10 minutes later I puked too.
most of the booze i ingested no half an hour ago(at least, if you judge by the smell the toilet had, which was something akin to hospitals). and little bits of hamburger.

At what point is tolerance considered fulfilled/exceeded though?
I've never got to the point of passing out, falling down, or throwing up, but I assume those points arrive at different intakes of alcohol.
That said most I've had would probably be equal to 7 pints, and that was limited due to time and money more than comfort. That was also over probably 2-4 hours also (depending on the event, I can't remember), so technically it counts as less or what?
Also, I would have recommended a better system than just pints, but then again because there's no damn standards, almost any way one throws it (defines a drink size), it will be difficult or confusing to some people.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_drink
12.7 ml seems like a pretty common and simple number though, especially since the number fits perfectly with 1 pint of 5%ABV beer (2 drinks).

Eh, I usually don't drink beer that often (it makes me feel bloated and uncomfortable), but about 10 shots of hard liquor usually does me in.

0. Why drink when you have fruit smoothies?

8 pints is fucking nuts if its not over the course of 4-5 hrs. Theres no way you drink that much at a bar to get wasted. I have the highest tolerance of anyone I know (6'2" 260) and id be trashed.

As am I, my night usually starts around 8 pints and my witness protection program usually kicks in around 9 (and by witness protection I mean I forget every horrible or embarrassing thing I have done for plausible denial ability).

I think the people who picked 8 and over have no idea how much that actually is. Jeez.

ya pints =/= cans of beer. 8 cans is believable. Not 8 pts

Yeah, 8 cans would be a reasonable amount to drink. 8 pints is not.
|
i'm swedish so 8+ pints obviously then again I usually drink until I pass out, 8 pints would obviously get me quite inebriated.
|
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 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.

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.

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

Okay I must admit most people here probably don't drink 12 regular drinks (the equivalent of 8 pints) but I call that a normal Thursday (my weekend begins on Thursday/Im lucky). But I also have been drinking for many years and have become pretty proficient at becoming drunk ( I don't drink to socialize; I drink with a goal in mind).
|
What does tolerance mean exactly? Before puking? Then 8+, which means I'd be really drunk, but without any liquor still fine.
Depends on daylie form and the timeframe as well.
|
not sure how many i can do but i'm pretty sure i'd get full before i'd get wasted if it's beer
need some hard liquor

I'd venture to call it what you regularly drink in a "good night". No one calls puking and being hammered a good night; that is obviously past your tolerance. What do you regularly drink and then decide to stop on? I'd call that tolerance.

Speaking of alcohol tolerances I am on beer 10 (not pint 10) and I would say that 25 years and my life is still. Trying to get up the great big hill of hope; for a destination. My god I love alcohol

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.
|
I don't drink beer, I generally go through 5-6 screw drivers (vodka and OJ) and 8-10 Kamikaze shots over the course of 4hours at the clubs, never throw up but sometimes I forget small things that happened during the night. I'm 265lbs and been drinking since grade school
|
Loko isn't malt liquor malt liquor is like cheap shitty "beer" thats made with rice and grain and shit to up the alcohol content cheaply. 4loko is 10-12% but its like vodka and redbull and a lot of other shit. And one can will fuck you up way more than its alcohol content would suggest, idk exactly how that works though lol.
Malt liquor is about 6% smirnoff ice is about 5.

Its malt liquor based but you are right malt liquor is between 6-9%. For some reason I thought it was 8-12 or something.

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.

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.

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..
|
I've got enough tolerance to drink well over 8 beers (of 0,5l) over the course of an evening, but usually I don't take even that much.
|
I usually pregame with ~6 pints.
then have another 6-10 at the pub, depending on how late we stay out.
I may not want to go to school at 8am, but whatevs, I like my beer!

my first question was "in what amount of time?"
over a whole evening i easily drin 8 pints... but if i just hang out for 1-2 houts, i'd be damn wasted.

Takes about 6 pints before I start to feel drunk, I need about 10 and several jaegbombs before you can get me anywhere near a club.
Put it this way, last aftershow party I went to, I drank 2 bottles of wine, and still destroyed everyone at mario kart, but was drunk enough to actually play just dance *shudder*, and woke up fresh as a daisy, then went for 3 pints with friends at lunch.

Remember American pints are not the same as the rest of the world.
|
Nor is American beer, but we don't hold it against them :>
|
Depends on what I have eaten that day, how long since last time I drank, what kind of beer it is and how fast I drink that beer. Anything between 2 and 10 beers.
|
Also beer alcohol rate is very different around the world... what's average beer alcohol rate in America? Ours is around 4,7%.
I can take around 6 of those I think, depends on the day.

Yup, something like that for me as well.
Though on those days where it only takes a couple of drinks to get me buzzed, that is just a short temporary buzz that'll settle after 30-60 minutes after which I can usually drink as much as I like without getting too wasted.

8 pints?? LOL i call bullshit

Depends but certainly not 8... Pretty sure that would screw me over, Saying that though i only started drinking in the last year (just turned 18) And i am a small guy so doesn't take to much

According to Wikipedia, the pint the rest of the world knows is about 20% larger than America's pint. (568 mL against 473 mL).
To put things in perspective for any Americans: A soda can sized can of beer is 330 mL. One of those long cylinder type cans is 500 mL. The bigger bottles might be around 550 mL. Small bottles maybe 200mL or so?
8 pints multiplied by 568 mL per pint is around 4.5 liters of liquid. If you can drink all that in one evening, you'll be spending a lot of time pissing, to say the least.

4 L of beer during an night of partying isn't all that much... Concider that most parties, drinking starts at @ 8 PM and when you first get to bed @ 7 AM that leaves you with quite a few hours to chug those in... Seriously it's REALLY not a lot >_>

If i go out under the Weak and for some reason my friends and me feel like to get Drunk (just happens sometimes :p) i end up at about 3 litres of Beer and i'm "fine" Drunk then (and not to happy when getting up the next morning ).
Now do the math when you add about 4-5 hours more when not having to work the next day.
8 Pints is not that much.

At Oktoberfest I had 9 Mass. 1 Mass ~= 2 pint. And Oktoberfest beer is like 6 or 7%. Am doing this thread right?
As pointed out throughout this thread this depends on a number of factors. How long is the night? Are you physically active during? Have you been eating enough? Have you been drinking the night/days before?
|
41% saying that they can drink more than 8 pints (4.5 litres) of beer is complete bullshit.
Sure, some people can tolerate that but no fucking way would it be 41% lol. I've got 13 years of drinking on my back, after 6-7 pints I can safely say that I'm drunk. lol at that 41% again
This is British/European pints btw
|
Yeah I call bullshit on the 8 pints too.
My drinking depends on the circumstances. Warm weather increases my tolerance, so does me being fit. If it's hot and I'm fit I can literally drink all day with no ill effects. English winter, give me 4 pints and I'm pretty drunk. I rarely drink nowadays so 2 pints and I'm anyones, makes me a nice cheap drubk!
|
6-12 pints depending on how I'm feeling or how much i wanna get drunk, honestly some days i can drink a ton and some days just a few is fine
|
I don't drink to get drunk. It's a waste of good beer. Bad beer I simply won't drink, even if it's free (most american/redneck/college beer). You know, the kinda shit they have at major league sports games for 5 dollars a can, gtfoutta here.
So 3-4 beers to get a good buzz and one beer every 30m after that to keep riding that buzz.
|
Why is it "None, I don't drink." -- not drinking doesn't say anything at all about alcohol tolerance. If I were to take your poll at face value you're saying that the only reason people don't drink is because they have some kind of genetic failure where they die after one glass.
|
This thread would've been so much better if the question had been defined in a better way.

I'll make a small calculation to show how stupid the answers to this poll are :
1 pint is approximately 0.5L
If we take 5% (which is not a lot I think) average it means 1 pint is 25mL of alcohol, so around 19,72 g of alcohol.
I'm taking a formula from wikipedia to calculate an approximation of the quantity absorbed by the body(it's in french http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcoolemie) :
T = (q)/(Kxm)
T is the rate of alcohol in your blood in gram of alcohol per liter of blood.
q is quantity of alcohol in mL
K is the coefficient of absorbtion (.7 for men)
m is the weight of the person (I'll take 80Kg ~176lbs)
So for one pint you have T = 0.35g/L
Now I'll translate in BAC for our american friends (or others i don't know what country uses what to measure alcohol consumption)
1 pint = 0.35g/L = 0.035 %
2 pints = 0.7g/L = 0.07 %
Now for 8 pints 2.8g/L = 0.28 %
If you search a bit on the internet you'll see that if you're not a severe alcoholic, at 0.28 % you're probably unconscious or crawling pretending you're a legless monkey.
So yeah at 8 pints of beer,unless you're drinking them in 8 hours which doesn't really count for eight beers because if it counts I've been drinking a thousand beers in a thousand day and I'm not drunk, the average people is not drunk, he is looking brain dead.
I know I'm answering to some kind of mass troll but I was bored at work.
Kids don't drink 8 pint in 2 hours, it's not a good idea.

but who said anything about 2 hours?
|
A friend got caught with the police while driving his car.. He still had 0.23% and that was at 9 a.m. in the morning way after his "peak". He did not crawl or anything, actually he was very active and happy.
Drunk driving is stupid and we all told him to just walk with us and he got what he deserved for it.
Yes, according to some "statistics" me and basically all my friends are alcoholics. Like everyone else that on a weekend is drinking more than iirc 3 drinks in 2 hours?...

this and as a german i gotta disagree with the theorycraft above.
over an evening/night if youre a somewhat solid drinker its absolutely easy to go up to 8 "halbe" ( a "halbe" is 1/2 a "maß", 0,5l the standart beersize here) even with sidedrinks . beerstrength usually ranges from 4,8 to 6,3 with the standart stuff.
in the days when i was younger and was always hanging around with a group of punkchics we had like 5-8 each before we even went to a party. those were extreme times and i couldnt do that anymore but no one can call "bullshit" on 8+.
and there are way more crazy people. gf which works at a hotel bar recently told me about a guest who had 15 weizen + some shots alone while watching football. ofc he was shitdrunk at the end but still managed to drink what would would kill drinking beginners.
also ofc the OP is very unclear. what i can drink before im totally gone and what i can drink and still be in a somewhat reasonable state is a big difference. and as others said is hugely dependant on other factors.

I usually drink around 4 for most nights to keep it normal but with a bit more fun. If I want to go nuts though, go more.

I'm actually really shocked that people would consider 8 pints an inordinate amount of beer, and that anyone who could consume 8 pints must be either some type of beer drinking god of tolerance or an alcoholic.
For Americans, 8 pints is LESS than a 12 pack. :/ It's 10 and 2/3 beers.
This seems like a pretty slow night at the bar if I'm trying to get drunk.
If I'm buying beer to go to a house party I buy at least 18...
Maybe I am, in fact, some type of beer drinking god of tolerance... I dunno, I don't drink that much anymore since I graduated college, so I can't go with the alcoholic label. Am I doing something wrong? or is American beer just THAT low in alcohol content that it's impossible to get drunk off of it.

bud light has 4.2% so that's about 20% less then the average European beer. A guiness has 7.5% tho...
so your 12 "US pints" would be like 10 European ones. I just think most ppl in this thread have no idea what they are talking about. 8 pints isn't that much.
|
Yeah, 4 pints is a standard lazy couple of hours in the pub with mates, heck, 2 pints is a standard pub lunch.
|
If I remember right, 22-24 pints during a whole night is my "record", but I usually drink around 8-10 and some hard liquor, which will get me comfortably drunk, though I stopped really counting ages ago.
|
2 pints does it, hell on a Friday night after a ruff week @ work, 1 can do the job LOL. friends laughed at me, called me lightweight etc, but hey, when we go out, they spend 100-150$ in the club to get drunk, while im dancing on tables after 20$ worth of boose.
|
Drinking beer to get drunk is for pussies. You might drink some nice beer for breakfast or maybe when you just relax. Otherwise you just end up pissing every 5 fucking minutes.
Liquor or sober in other words.
Also in before american lololololol
|
I used to get drunk off of one or two shots in high school. But after freshman year in college I would have to drink like 3-5 shots of vodka to get tipsy. : (
I don't know what you mean by pints either.
|
8 pints its entirely reasonable during a night out or at a party don't get why you'd have to be some kind of alcoholic to drink that
|
I don't drink or anything I just stay in my room to play starcraft with a warm glass of milk and freshly baked cookies from my mom. Oh and i'm 42 and still live with my wonderful mother. Wouldn't trade this life for the world.
|
Wow, I'm in the heavyweight class on this one. Eight is nothing.
Normally, I prepare for getting drunk as in being well-fed and all.
Hi, my name is Roeder. And I am an alcoholic.
|
I drink ABSOLUTE VODKA (35%) and i can drink about 170 ml+ before i get drunk
I'm a lightweight.
|
Well this is a loaded poll. It implies that if you don't drink, you don't have any alcohol tolerance.

Well, it doesn't really directly ask for tolerance from anyone - the poll is how much you usually drink, which is different from what you can tolerate.

It's TL everyone has the best possible option
It's not like feelings of drunkness have an optimistic bias or anything

There is a decently sized temperance movement in Europe just because of that factor, at least in northern Europe
|
I"m terrible. 4+ pints and I'm vomiting ... but on the plus side at least I'm easy to get drunk
|
I can usually take 4-5 pints of ~5-6% and that'll get me buzzed on a flat stomach.
I'm not really a beer guy though. And since i dont like drinking 3-4 litres to get drunk i take liquor aswell, a couple of vodka (or something similar) shots, 2-3 beers/ciders and everything is perfect
Most I've had on a empty stomach was at a classmates birthday party:
2 beer/cider
2 ½ glasses of wine (not wine glasses :D )
3 liquor shots
almost 1 mug of absinth ( was half a cup but since my friend chickened out I took his shot aswell)
some vodka+fanta from my sister
2-3 drinks at a club we moved on to after house party.
This was all done during around 5-6 hours, but I missed dinner that evening since I came late and all the food was already gone.
Still I didnt get too drunk since I managed to get home safely (my classmate lives 1 ½ hour from me, so many bus/subway switches) and get to bed without waking my parents (I can wake my mum&dad just by taking a glass of water if im up at night)
Im a quite thin guy, just over 6'2 and 135-140 pounds.
EDIT: I must admit that I hate the low-alcohol beer you can buy at supermarkets and gas stations here in Sweden, real beer or no beer at all :D
|
about 3 pints or so. I tend to drive a lot, or I did when I was back in the states so I never drank that much.
I get hammered really fast if the drink requires a chaser. Thrown up more than once before and it was never pretty.
|
once had 8 pints and i had to go with the bus back to my home gotta say one thing that was one angry bus driver . bad memories lol
|
Lol @ some people trying to brag so hard and obviously lieing.
I wouldvé thought the TL majority demographgic would've been a bunch of lightweight asians..
Although I can understand all the Americans posting here with their pussy beer.
Overall, ambiguous OP. Time is such a huge factor here, as well as what beer you drink.
