with ease





375 ml is around 9 shots





that would make most guys plenty drunk if you blasted them right down, but over an evening that 's no big deal



correct.





375ml is slightly over 10 standard 1 1/4 oz portions of 80 proof spirits––the equivalent of 10 normal beers.



edit: obviously, a 750 is just over 20 standard alcohol portions, and a liter is just over 27.

A shot is 45 ml.  375/45 = 8.3

8.3 drinks / 6 hours = 1.4 drinks/hours.

Looking at the responses in this thread, and in the Funny Drunk Stories thread, I have come to the conclusion that Arfcom should have a kegger, one gigantic kegger, which I believe, would have such epic after stories, there would be movies made out of it ala Beerfest and Animal Hosue


If all of ARFCOM had a kegger it would most likely turn into an armed take over of everything. After all mass quantities of booze make me an instant expert on everything and we are ARFCOM after all.

Yes.  I've drank over a liter of vodka per night a few times during college.

I don't recommend it though.  


3/4 of a bottle would make me stagger-slurry drunk

then I'd wake up around 3:30 cold sober and with a hideous headache


Vodka never gave me a hangover or made me sick.  I would always mix it with Mt. Dew and drank it like Koolaid.  So I was really hyped up all night.  Made things even more interesting.

I do it once or twice a month of a Friday evening. Buy a handle on the way home Friday and wake up, bright eyed and bushy tailed ~7:00 AM Saturday morning with much less than half of it left. Back in my "heavy drinking" days I could do much more, much more often.

I don't normally get "hung over" unless I've been on vacation and hitting it heavy for a few days.

In general I don't drink that often but, when I do, I make up for the infrequency with volume.

In my college days that was just a warm up. These days still doesn't seem like much but I don't drink all that much any more.

On my 21st I did 19 shots, nothing under 100 proof in less then 2 hours. I was shooting for 21 but I knew my limit. I also ran 4 miles in football practice the next day

Says who?

That's the first google hit I got, and it agrees with everything else I can find, as well as pretty much every bar I've drank at in the US.

1.5 fluid ounces = 45 mL

What Is Considered One Serving of Alcohol?

The actual serving size for an alcoholic beverage depends on the type of drink. A standard drink is any drink that contains 0.6 fluid ounces of pure alcohol. This is equal to:

   12 ounces of a beer or wine cooler
   8-ounces of malt liquor
   5 ounces of table wine
   1.5 ounces of 80 proof distilled spirits such as gin, vodka, whiskey, etc.


ETA:  Notice that if you do the math, that's 5% beer, 12% wine and 7.5% malt liquor.

industry standard.  Some places have dropped to an ounce recently, but 1.25oz has been the standard bar pour for forever, both from the sales side and on BAC charts.  OTOH, just checked TABC, and it seems they switched to 1.5oz on their charts, so i was wrong to correct you.

That would be a great study on how people would group together.

You'd have the hop heads in one corner protecting their 105 IBU Imperial Stout like rabid dogs.
One group discussing the merits of a Highland scotch verses the saltiness of an Islay scotch.
People correcting each other on whether whisky should be spelled with a y or ey, single malt or blend.
