Taking into account volume (relative to height, size etc), demeanour, general stamina, what kind of drunk you are etc, how good would you say you are at drinking?
Brilliant, one of my main talents. A great all-round drinker
Not too bad now and then actually, maybe there’s one element that lets me down
Mediocre
A bit of a liability/maybe not the best drunk or no stamina or something
Just give me a sniff of the beer taps and that’s me out for the night/one pint and it’s O’shea’s time
Takes me a lot to get pissed, and then I’m just tired/a bit more fun. My main issue is I get bloated straight away because I physically can’t burp.
Massively out of practice but used to be able to pack 'em away all night and with no negative effect (apart from every once in a while when I’d get knocked sick after about 6), and a whole heap of cheeky fun. Wonder if I’ve still got it, almost definitely not.
I’m an extremely funny and charming drunk generally speaking, not that much endurance compared to people who drinks regularly but more than most of my pals. It’s usually the tiredness which wipes me out the next day
I am a very friendly drunk and like to think I am less drunk than I inevitably appear to other people. I can drink in great volumes in any mix without being knocked out, though my weakness is that I often have a complete memory blank fom large parts of drunk nights.
Pretty much exactly this. Dunno about 12 pints, but used to regularly do 4-5+ after work and barely know I’d had a drink. Any more than 4-5 pints after work now and there’s a decent possibility I wouldn’t make it home.
Generally a decent drunk I think. Don’t get lairy.
Generally know my limits so can pace myself so I am not too bad the next day but am not a complete lightweight. I enjoy the social side of drinking rather than the getting drunk so love making cocktails and “being the host” (I built a bar in my back garden during lockdown and put together a cocktail list based on what I have in the cupboard when I have people over).
No worse of a person than i am normally after 12 pints.
Can go out for as long as i want and always get home for when i say i’ll be home too.
Do stupid shit sometimes but i do when i’m sober as well
Used to be fantastic. I’d relish the prospect of an all-dayer. Turns out that’s a terrible way to behave when you’ve got off-the-chart blood pressure though, so I’ve knocked that on the head. Still love beer though.
Noticed since lockdown that my drinking plateaus now. So used to be able to pint with the best of the pintmen with no real adverse effects. Reckon 7 or 8 pints sees me with a decent hangover now. Suppose that’s what drinking 3-4 cans 5 nights a does instead of big weekly binges
Quite a few people claiming to be good/charming drunks. Isn’t one of the effects of alcohol that it makes you think you’re more charming than you are?
I too think I’m a charming drunk. However, whenever I spend time with drunks whilst sober the percentage of drunks who are indeed charming is actually pretty small.
