He, I'm curious. Here in Eurpope people always say we can drink much more than anywhere in the world because we start at a younger age (allthough Russians will win from anyone with their Vodka habbits). So my question is: how many beers till you get drunk?
For me (I'm 24 and can tolerate much less than my friends) it's about 6 liters in 4/5 hours(one crate) and I'll be drunk (assuming I haven't been smoking.) How about you guys/girls?
That's around 10-11 pints, isn't it? I would be shit-faced within that time period. That's if I could even manage it. I've always been a lightweight and I can't take much alcohol especially in volume. After 5-6 pints I usually switch to spirits unless it's an all-day session when I can stagger myself.
I don't know how UK males match up - I would probably skew the results - but UK women are said to be the biggest drinkers in Europe.
