The memory or the thought of repeating such an action nauseates me. However, when I was young and foolish I did it in about two hours. I can't see myself doing something so
foolish again. |

Once. 18 year old Jameson. First time I had any Jameson. Didn't take long to understand why it was recommended so highly. I couldn't put it down. Blew my mind.
Pretty sure it went, in my mind, something like "oh this is good", followed by "wow, this is great", along with "this is almost too good", and ending with "why is there linoleum in my teeth?" I never was much of a drinker. Never said I wouldn't do it again, either. |

Oh, I forgot the alcohol involved in my stupidity was Jack Black in a fifth.

Numerous times when I was 19-22 ish. Had a party trick where I’d dump a bottle of absolut into a Taco Bell cup and chug it. Did that a half dozen times or so. Probably 50 times in that span of time I would kill a bottle of something on my own over the course of a 4-6 hour party.
Was never a daily drinker, only at parties and at bars with friends a couple nights a week. |

Drank a full bottle of whisky one night
Made an utter ass of myself. Was violently ill some time in the night and now I can’t touch the stuff. |
|
In my drinking heyday, I could do half a fifth and about four beers in 90 minutes and not really feel it. A few years after I cut way back, I made the mistake of thinking I still had my old tolerance, polished off a fifth of dark rum in about an hour or so.
I have dim memories of partying with some gang bangers. I had no idea where I was, how I got there, or who they were. Just remember having a pretty good time hanging out with them. When I came around, I was passed out on my bedroom floor feeling like I was late for my own autopsy. |

I have never purchased a 5th to drink. I might have drank that much alcohol once or twice, I recall a few very bad days.
There were 3 offhand that I recall. Graduation trip for HS, I got upset due to shit happening. I drank a lot of premixed shit I brought, then did shots of everclear. It was my first taste of alcohol poisoning. Then there were 2 "I need some whiskey" moments with my friends. One was when a friends "sole mate" announced her engagement to someone else. Another was a friends "I am being deployed to Korea" night. That deployment cost him his fiance and gained him his wife... Fiance was very attractive, but was not a great person at heart - and the deployment brought it all to light. His wife (now of about 30 years), was a former model, intelligent, strong, and a great leader. She will probably retire a General before it's all over. |

In the Navy days, probably, there was a LOT of booze in many different ports. Since then, not a chance - I got tired of knee walking home. A bottle of rum will last me a few weeks or longer.

I think my record is 6 1/5ths in 7 days. Not really a chugger. Slow and steady was my way.
|

I found a fellow Marine who chugged a fifth unconscious in the barracks late at night. The Corpsman took him away unable to revive him. By 6:00 am the following morning all of his belongings were gone and his rack was stripped clean. We never saw or heard what happened to him. Back in those days it generally meant he died.

Quoted: I can think of two separate occasions where I downed a fifth of Southern Comfort. Not chugged, not glued, but over the course of a couple hours...oops, looks like I just drank a whole bottle of whiskey (with Coke and lime). Sometimes I'm surprised I have lived as long as I have. View Quote Nope. I can get about 1/4 of the way in before my brain goes, "yeah, no, I don't want any more of this stuff, I'm changing the taste to 'yuck' so you stop drinking it." I did drink a whole bottle of cheap wine one time on a dare though. As in, bottoms up, chug until the entire bottle is gone without even taking a breath. I agreed to drink the whole thing, it tasted like shit, so I figured might as well get it over with and just dumped the whole contents down the hatch. |

When I was young and stupid. That usually lead to bad hangovers...

No, but a British leftenant and I downed most of a fifth of Jack just before heading out to the base of Moonlight Buttress one night, in Zion NP, UT.
We managed to talk a total stranger into heading out there with us, even though he wasn't even a climber. And he was completely sober. We must have been super cool storytellers that night. That's all I can figure. The guy was pretty cool, and even carried our extra pack back to our jeep when we realized we brought more stuff that we could possibly haul up the wall. I think that fifth may have hampered our logistical decision making that night before. |

I’m half Irish. If my non Irish wife that was raised Protestant didn’t raise hell about me drinking I’d go through a fifth pretty regularly over a couple of days.

Of course. These days I try to only have a fifth in a night, and only if it's a certain occasion.
|
|
In my heavy drinking days a bottle of tequila or gin was a normal Saturday night
|
|
Back in the day 1.75 liter a night, but quit a long long time ago, been there done that.
|
|
Yes, many times back when I was in active service.
My friends and I drank a lot. |

Once in college. Gave myself alcohol poisoning and learned a valuable lesson.
|
|
I’m on my 80th day of sobriety. A fifth used to be a decent way to get started.
|
|
|
Back in the day, pretty much finished off a bottle of Cutty Sark. Was never sicker and punched the toilet tank so hard it busted. How I didn't end up with alcohol poisoning is a miracle in itself.
|
|
Yup, on at least two occasions in my early 20s. JD once, jagermeister once. Both ended in embarrassment and could have been so much worse.
|
|
|
In college it wasn't out of the ordinary for me to down a fifth of Smirnoff vodka in a night.
I stick with beer on the weekends these days, I don't touch liquor. |
|
|
|
When I drank, I'd go through a handle of bourbon every two days, so depending on your time frame for "drinking a fifth," yes.
|
|
Never drank a fifth despite being drunk enough I couldn't stand up many times.
|
|
I’ve come very, very close. It wasn’t mixed with anything though and I won’t pretend like I was being anything close to responsible.
