Wish it took me that long! I supped 8 pints between 11pm and 3am and felt sober! And I wasn't ill either!

true, but the disadvantage is that if youre not careful, pissedness can sneak up on you. one minute you're fine and then bosh, you're suddenly feeling sick, wobbly and lethargic.
It only seems to happen to me when I'm in a new & unfamiliar situation, for example I went to London on my own for an alleycat, got down there and met people I don't know. No doubt it's partly because of the nervousness of being around people I don't know, in a place I've never been before. But also cos I had been cycling and my body was desperate for water and carbs. If I'm with someone I know, or somewhere I've been before, I am more relaxed and I drink much less quickly...col said:

I know what you mean after exercise,years ago we all used to go to the pub after a training session and the first two or three would go down in half an hour with thirst,unfortunatley i didnt know i couldnt take it back then,and it wasnt till a couple more that i started to feel it,but thinking it was ok i carried on,i must have had seven or eight that night,a lot for me i now know,but then ?my mates would go into double figures for their pints,i couldnt even if i wanted to,just felt too bloated like id had a massive dinner and was ready to burst,anyway that was the night i realised and never let it happen again.Well until i wanted to that is

I've had five bottles of strong cider tonight and I feel great.
My typing has gone down the pan though - I'm struggling to type this without extensive use of the backspace key.

having children reduces your alcohol tolerance by virtue of stopping you going out as often

I was fairly tipsy off 3 and a half bottles (about 3 pints) and felt I could drink no more.
But that's partly to do with the fact that a) I'd been pedalling all day,
I had eaten over two hours before the first bottle, c) I started drinking near bedtime and d) I was quite thirsty so drank fairly quickly.I consumed 10 bottles (5 pints) of 7.5% Dragon Stout and felt fairly sober afterwards. Different variables innit.

I went out at the weekend and couldn't be bothered with full on armageddon due to the "more hungover you are the earlier they get up" situation.
Some nice proper beer though, no commotion lotion for me this time.
