How many beers can you keep down

[rajpoot]

Title says it all.
I bought a couple of bottles of strong beer today (we have 650 ml bottles over here).....And managed to finish two of them before I had to go....to....errr..........answer the call.

Question...how many can you guys take without feeling the urge (not talking about the head mind you) to go),,,....

Edit...yeah so I made a mistake in the poll....spelling...

[SwordsMaster]

It's universal law: once you go the first time, you need to go after every pint. Observation is based on statistically relevant observation of many many subjects. But yeah, beer is a soft drink.

Managed to swill down 21 pints on my 21st birthday. Then had some tequilas. Then it got messy.

[Rhyfelwyr]

Seems to vary. Used to be it was after my first sip (barely exaggerating). I was surprised last time though I must have had a few before I had to go.

I barely ever drink though.

[Centurion1]

depends on how much fun im having

You know what they say about beer and liqueur.

Liquor is quicker?

Wait as long as you can before breaking the seal. After that it's just a hassle.

Even in my advanced age, I can usually get through 4-5 before returning. A little more if I'm working hard, dehydrated, or pounding them back.

Back when I was in uni, there was a bar near campus that had Bladder Bust Tuesdays. At 8pm they blocked off the bathrooms and wouldn't let anyone leave. For $5 it was all you could drink, until someone risked the wrath of the football players and went to take a leak. Good times....

[Peasant Phill]

Are you talking bladder control or the other exit point?

[phonicsmonkey]

Once you break the seal it's all over

[Ibrahim]

don't drink. so I don't know.

[Major Robert Dump]

I once drank 48 12-ounce cans of Natural Light starting at 7 pm and ending at about 5 am. I also think one of the frat boys at the party may have sexually assaulted me after I passed out

[Centurion1]

nonsense natty light is water.

[Cute Wolf]

dunno the maximum ammount, but I can wolf down 4 and a half bottles @650 ml before practically doesn;t remember anything else clearly
= still drinking afterwards though

[rajpoot]

Looking forward to it.

Come to think of it I probably should've voted gah.

[Major Robert Dump]

Actually, from a state that sells high point, it is pretty much the same content as most other grocery store beers. It just tastes like crap and gives you the Montezumas Revenge the next day.

@Gel: Always been Guard. My alcohol tolerence stems from living behind a college bar and DJing at a strip club. Oh, and the alcoholic gene. Damn Indians.

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

2 pints, maybe 3? After I go though, it's like I don't even have a bladder....

[Ibrahim]

btw, it just dawned on me: why does anyone drink beer? it looks like pee usually, and the one time I tasted it, it was like mouldy bread (I was told it was a good beer). I found it so disgusting I spat it right back out.

never tried it again.

what does beer have that pop doesn't?

Alcohol.

I love that bread smell. Although to me it does not seem so much like mouldy bread but instead of a bakery. I guess it's that yeast fermentation smell which is common to both the beer and the bread.

It's something you have to get used to, or at least I did. I didn't really like it at first, but over time I grew to enjoy it.

Like drone said alcohol.

Beer is an acquired and once you have gotten used to it there is a lot to like there. Particularly once you start to figure out what type of beer you like best, in which case you can figure out the flavour combination of hops and other ingredients that you find most enjoyable.

Me, I'm a Pilsner man. Hopsy but still a fairly light taste that is very easy to drink.

[Drunk Clown]

Believe it or not, there are a lot who think all the beer is the same and don't taste any difference.

honestly, it's about you're used to drink it or not, I still prefer if my money can bought me some sweeter one like wine or rice wine, but they are more expensive

[rajpoot]

Lots of people aren't exposed to the good stuff. For instance till little more over an year back I had nearly no knowledge about whiskey. I use to drink all the brands in the same manner, using a shot glass.

Beer is an acquired taste, even more so for the 'good' beers (I'm going to assume that by good you mean more complex). I doubt anybody enjoyed oysters, sprouts or garlic the first time they taste it.
You're missing out but so am I for not trying pipe tobacco.

Round them up and reeducate I say.

[Martok]

Well I apparently have a bladder the size of a grape, as I can never have more than a few beverages (whether it's beer or something else) without running to the loo in any case. Gah!

Beer is an acquired taste, even more so for the 'good' beers (I'm going to assume that by good you mean more complex).

For me, it was the opposite way around: Drinking the regular mainstream beers like Bud and Miller were acquired tastes, but the "good stuff" like Blue Moon and Leinenkugel's have always gone down very easy for me.

I doubt anybody enjoyed oysters, sprouts or garlic the first time they taste it.

Oysters are awesome! Delicious.

[Peasant Phill]

Oysters are awesome! Delicious.

les goûts et les couleurs, ça ne se discute pas.
I like oysters well enough when they're prepared with something but 'au naturel' they just taste like salty snot to me.

[Centurion1]

Did someone seriously suggest that garlic is an acquired taste? That's one of the more famous examples of a love it or hate it food. No middle-ground there. I've always loved garlic, and garlicy-flavored things.

Onions, on the other hand...

adore onions have huge raw chunks of them on whatever i can get away with. much stronger fan of red onions over white though and they are preferable either grilled or raw.

does wonders for my breath at times though lol.....

[rajpoot]

The sound of onions sizzling on a grill with juicy patties, is like music to my ears. Plus onion soaked in vinegar tastes awesome...long as one keeps the mouth shut after having them.
I like garlic too....though not in excess.

The human bladder can only hold about 20 ounces of liquid

You know, it is funny because when I broke my leg and went in for surgery I had to use a urinal for a while. My nurse told me something similar, and yet in one go I can fill it well over the 32 oz mark (the actual bottle extends well above that...I probably put about 35-40 oz in), so I would doubt it when someone tells you something like that. I think that personal variation is great enough as to make numbers like that absolutely useless.
