bushwacked Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 No way that even a hardcore alcoholic drinks 100 beers in 72 hours. I'm not sure I agree....a bunch of hardcore alcy's (the kind that get shaky if they get below a 0.05 BAC) can go through a 6-pack before work and another one at lunch time no problem. Then head out to happy hour, drinking until 2:00 AM, getting up at 6:00 AM and doing it all over again. I know a reformed alcoholic who claims he went through 24+ beers a day easily. He would put 4 beers on his night stand at night, pop 2 of them open before going to bed, and drink all 4 in the morning before getting out of bed.

Kid Cid Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I've had hugh drinking bouts like that coupled with hugh amounts of acid, but never without. I won't say it can't be done, but I couldn't do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine back in Indiana knew a guy who blew a 0.3 on a breathalyzer once and didn't even appear to be drunk (isn't 0.35 or 0.4 when most people go into a coma?). Man, alcoholics are messed up. I don't think that I could even drink 100 twelve-ounce servings of water in 72 hours without getting sick.

twiley Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Looking at it as just liquid.......that's 16.666 oz of liquid every hour for 72 hours, no sleep. That would be tough enough let alone adding in the alcohol. Meh........not possible for a man my age. Fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknrobn26 Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 If my math is correct, 4 beers an hour for 10 hours, allowing 1 beer per hour loss due to metabolism, a 200# man would still have the alcohol content of 30 beers in his body. That, according to a BAC chart would be around .57 BAC. Sustaining that for 2 more days would be very difficult. If the guy was 500#'s....... ...........

Bill Swerski Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 (edited) If my math is correct, 4 beers an hour for 10 hours, allowing 1 beer per hour loss due to metabolism, a 200# man would still have the alcohol content of 30 beers in his body.

IIRC, one's body only metabolizes the first beer's worth of alcohol in an hour and it slows down to ~0.25 beers worth of alcohol per hour afterwards. At least that's what one of my friends claims he learned from the mandatory class he had to take after receiving a DUI.

Ramhock Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I was at a function on 7/04/76 and there was a 7'4", 450 lb fella named Tiny, who drank 200 beers in that 24-hour period, to celebrate the bicentennial. He was seen several times drinking while pissing and pissing while drinking. That there was one patriotic dude! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chester Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 If you equate one beer to one oz of 80 proof booze like they say. I've easliy drank 3 liters of vodka in 3 days (recently). That's over 100 ounces of vodka. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H8tank Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Either way, it'd be a hugh waste of time and money. SHAME ON YOU BLASPHEMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you're gonna try, come to oklahomo, where the beer is cheap, and only 3.2%! I don't know about 100 in 72 hours... but when we go to the lake for a camping trip, we usually have at least 1 30pk per person per day.

That's over 100 ounces of vodka. Actually the charts equate 12 oz of beer, 1.5 oz of liquor, and 5 oz of wine as being the same. 3 for 3 is a lot, regardless.

Sam Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Back in the day it was nothing to drink at least a case a day. We used to go to the Lake of the Ozarks every year for 3 days. I've never counted the # of beers I drank, but I would start at 9:00 - 10:00 in the morning (sometimes earlier) and drink non-stop until 3:00 - 4:00 in the morning. Most guys took a nap in the afternoon but I would stay drinking. 100 beers in 72 hrs though....I doubt I could have done that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Severe alcoholism can produce some very surprising results on a breathalizer! Also some very scary physical side effects! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, the drinker I was talking about said he never got a DUI because they wouldn't automatically make you blow back in the day. He said he would be hammered and pass the sobriety tests.

Some of the funnest times I've ever had were the trips to the Ozarks. We need to exchange stories/pics sometime...I have some good ones.
