23.9 over the course of last night, from the barbeque at six to the end of the Union at two. I'm surprised and disappointed that a dbl GNT is only 1.9 units, when a pint of Export is 2.7.


It's all about the 7% Carlsberg Elephant. A bottle's like 2 units. Perfect for pre-drinking at home...

Probably about 10...3-5 pints and usually 2 or 3 shots of Corky's.

Oh and personally speaking, it depends. On vodka red bull night, it's probably in the thirties somewhere - 10 at home beforehand, and as many vodka red bulls as I have pounds in my wallet, so usually about 25.

Other nights, more like 15.

(Can you tell that I live in a not so huge provincial town where VodBull night is a highlight of the social week?)


Vodbull night is never for me; the stuff makes me er...mental. :frown:


I have been known to consume whole bottles of vodka straight though, I drink quite a lot....

But it's only a pound! It's great. Not to mention, it's the easiest night of the week to work - it's all pre-poured and there's no pissing about with change...

Anyone who does over 35, is pushing it. Sheez that's a lot of beer.

Mind you I've known one of my mates to do nearly 50 units in one day, some people are retarded though.

yes...but vodbull is the only thing i get a hangover with. I've had it 3 times, and the next mornings were like hell.


I can normally do about 9/10pints then go somewhere else or get some vodka or something, and still no hangover, just chilled out. that vodbull is crazy **** tho.

Depends how big the bottle is. A 'bottle' (as in 700ml) will get you 28 shots, not accounting for spillage...so that's about 25 units, if it's 37.5% vodka...

Really? It makes me get up really early and feel like I'm some sort of demigod. A combination of still being a bit drunk and the caffine makes walking into uni in the morning a very fun experience.

Six pints of ale and a hangover is fairly assured for me. Which is why I've gone back mainly to lager and vodka of present.

Most of the time I won't drink. If it's a big night out i.e. lots of people and end of the week, I may have 2-3 pints of cider.

Approx. up to 10.

Can't get it here, but they did have it on tap at my local in Bordeaux. Two or three pints would sort me out.

I didnt do it for an average night out, I did it for the most that I ever remember drinking on a night out and it came out at

21.3

BUT im not sure how accurate it is because my drink of choice wasnt listed anywhere, and if It was I couldnt find it :frown:

I bought it by mistake to get me pissed before I was going clubbing without realising what it was because it was cheap. A staple now though! I just have to hide it from my Mum lest she think me some kind of Super drinking Alcoholic...

About 10-15 I'd say, or maybe 5-10 I'm a bit of a light weight really :redface: but at least that makes nights out cheaper :p:

It's all about the 13% Leffe...mmmm.

Or the Schwarzbier they do in the town I used to live in in Germany - 12 or 14%, I think...

About 5-10, I'll usually have a large glass of white wine, then a couple of double vodka or malibu and cokes then maybe a cocktail (or 2). Yum.
