Guinness (if they have it) and Bud Light are both 4.2%, I would think they'd be the lowest.[icon] / Pollardsvision - the pace thing is what worries me. I tend to start with a strong pace by nature, but I'm wondering if that's not a bad play here. Spacing them out equally, maybe 2 an hour, seems like the best bet. You metabolize one an hour (or so I've heard)...
This is the kind of info you can only get in the FFA.
Ditto. Anyone have thoughts on this?
If ABV is far more important, I would choose Guinness. Or Bud Light.
Magic Hat?
Guinness is a sure loser, I promise you.
Do they have Amstel Light? IIRC it is only 3.8% or something like that
Not sure, but if they do, I'll definitely throw down a few of those.
Here's how I see it
hases of Marathon Drunkenness:1. Yum, beer tastes good.2. I'll have another3. Initial, light buzz4. Acceptance: The light buzz feels pretty normal.5. The Decision: Pace for the long haul? Or Get stupid, start pounding and tap out early6. Cruise Control Buzz: Can last a very long time with modest pace7. Tap OutA strong pace is perfectly fine, provided you make the right call Step 5. The problem with starting slow is that you run the risk of feeling tired, slow, sluggish, and possibly not excited about drinking beer all day early in the marathon.It's not too different from a physical marathon. If someone started a marathon walking, it'd be very difficult to ever get into a groove.
I'm all ears, but I'm not sure why you're saying this. Too filling?
That's legit. Usually getting a bit of a buzz gets me going longer and stronger.Here's how I see it
From experience. My local is an Irish pub and Guinness is our beer of choice. You'll hit a wall with that delicious stuff. I can tailgate all day long and put cold one after cold one back, but put me in that bar with Guinness flowing for kickoff and by the time the game ends it's time to stop or pay the consequence.
I don't get why ABV is more important. There is no time limit. He can do 2 pints per hour if he wanted. Sure he'd be legally drunk but that's the point. He's not planning on driving.Personally I'd be drinking Yuengling, it's my go-to macro that doesn't fil me up as much as the micros I like. Then I'd mix in a couple Miler Lites if I was feeling bloated.And my pre-game meal would be pizza with maybe some Publix chicken fingers about 90 minutes beforehand.
Are we still talking about drinking
Guinness is not too filling. Not sure if I ever had 16 of them, but I've had quite a few on various occasions(St. Patty's Day, etc.). It's actually a very good session beer.
Gotcha, just wondering which consequence you're referring to. Too bloated or too drunk?
Listen to the man.Along with anything thick and stout, carbonation is also your enemy. It may hurt the taste, but you may want to order a few at a time and let some sit to de-carbonate. Maybe even use a spoon to stir it up and hurry up the process. Of course, flat beer is teh suck, so if that would ruin the challenge you can just use an anti-gas beforehand, although that won't be in your system after the first few pints.Do you have any go-to friends that will insult your manhood and make you sack-up down the stretch? Motivation will be key. You're an animal EG. You gotta eat lightening and crap thunder.
In my usual drinking pattern, #5 is always where everything goes horribly awry. I almost never choose pacing myself for the long haul, I go off the f###ing deep end and then battle my way to the finish line, sometimes dropping on my face before I get there. That's mainly why I wasn't out partying with [icon] last Thursday. It would have ended badly and my wife would have broken her foot off in my ###.This time, I'll be going in with a specific goal in mind, so it will be much easier to level off.'pollardsvision said:I'm sure it's different for everyone and depends on the situation.I think it's the upside play though. We've all made the wrong decision at step 5, but if you prepare yourself for that moment and make the right call, it could be the best strategy.I don't mean start out chugging. Just keep a nice pace early. Something along the lines of a pint every 15-20 minutes for the first 2 hours. A little quicker depending on how you feel.That's legit. Usually getting a bit of a buzz gets me going longer and stronger.Here's how I see it
Drunk.
16 glasses * 16oz = 256oz256oz = 21.3 12oz cans of beer.it's not even a case of beer.who's in for St. Patty's Day?
I do, it's just a matter of getting them there. They all live in Orlando, so they'd have to drive an hour home or I'd have to put them all up for the night, which after 16 beers each would probably result in my new condo being destroyed and me being evicted. Except for the Ox, who is probably too scared to ask his wife to do this. A challenge like this is his dream come true (he loves beer more than anyone and has no money, so 16 free beers is like Xanadu for him) and I wrote him about it yesterday around this time and still have no response.
The only way I drink Coors Light is if there's literally no way to obtain anything else. If it's Coors Light or nothing, I'll drink it. Otherwise, I'd rather drink Olympia or National Bohemian.
I know they have Bud Light, saw the tap in the photo - didn't notice a Coors Light tap.But then again, Bud Light goes down very easy too.
at all the advice in here.
it's 21 12oz beers. how does anyone fail at this?
That's too easy.
I can't do this. :shurg:it's 21 12oz beers. how does anyone fail at this?
but an experienced drinker like EG should be able to do this anytime he wants. he doesn't need charcoal tablets or the most watered down beer there is.I can't do this. :shurg:it's 21 12oz beers. how does anyone fail at this?
Good point. 2 gallons worth of free Miller Lite and a T-Shirt probably isn't worth the hangover.EG will feel like dog #### and the bar will probably be out about $6 (which they'll more than make up with EG's support staff spending money).
Curious if you can drink 16 pints of Guinnessit's 21 12oz beers. how does anyone fail at this?
Famous last words..."this time"
...but that would cost $15. EG is going to get his for FREE! Free > $15. Plus a case of $15 beer does not beat Free choice of multiple different taps.
sure.but if they said you can drink free coors light and get a t-shirt, I doubt anyone would be going nuts over the opportunity. especially with all the stupid rules like having a guy watch you take a leak.
I've done this. Coors Light sticks out like a sore thumb. I actually chose Lite over Bud Light head to head.
600 of 700 that have tried have failed, so I guess some people do. Not FBGs, of course...
I could, except the liquor store isn't going to give me my $15 back, put my picture on their wall, and give me a free shirt if I bring the empty case back.
Yeah, I'm not really too worried about it, just having fun discussing it.but an experienced drinker like EG should be able to do this anytime he wants. he doesn't need charcoal tablets or the most watered down beer there is.I can't do this. :shurg:it's 21 12oz beers. how does anyone fail at this?

That's not even a contest, imo--but maybe I'm just used to associating with professionals 'round hyere. Go with a light beer--thinking pilsner though I might be biased because the way I drink 'em like water they go down real easy for me. I can easily down that amount during a good party, and frequently do so on a weekend day if I'm outside mowing or bonfire or such.
Also, consider what happens if he fails. It would absolutely suck to think you dropped $50 on 10-12 Bud Lights. If I spend $50 on 10-12 Sierra Nevada's, Sweetwater's, or whatever other craft beers, I'm not really upset about that. That's pretty much a steal in some parts of the country.Personally, I'd mix it up fairly evenly, depending on how I'm feeling. I prefer craft beer, but I don't mind BMC.
or watch you go to the bathroom and prevent you from eating snacks.drink some decent beer at least to make this worth the effort.
Failure is NOT an option.
not sure given the conditions here, but I think I could as long as I paced myself.show up at noon and you have until 2am to finish?drink 2 per hour for the first 5 hours and you've got 10 done. maybe take a break for an hour or two to sober up a bit. then cruise through the rest at 1 per hour and you're golden.Curious if you can drink 16 pints of Guinnessit's 21 12oz beers. how does anyone fail at this?
I could do that. I'm no stranger to this, my brother has a list of records written on his garage wall - 12 oz can chug, 12 oz shotgun, 12 oz spit can chug, 16 oz can chug, 12 oz bottle chug, 12 oz funnel, etc. I hold a few myself (12 oz shotgun - 2.04 seconds, 12 oz bottle chug - 4.81 seconds, 12 oz funnel - 1.66 seconds) but I'm not sure that's the play when you have to go through 256 ounces. That might be a bit much for me to "blast through."Eight....Hours????'Evilgrin 72 said:
Only time I ever had a beer drinking contest was years ago with a friend of mine, in a local Chapel Hill bar. We decided to have a competition to see who could drink a large size (64oz?) pitcher fastest--and it had to be done inside 5 minutes. Loser pays. So we took a booth and ordered two without glasses for practice. Neither of us beat the 5 minute mark but both were done before 6. We ordered another couple pitchers and went after it. I won; he finished his at about the 5:10 mark.
Then we ordered a third pair of pitchers to celebrate, and pretty much nursed tnem over tne next 30-45 minutes! Weren't there much more than an hour.
Maybe that's the ticket--shoot 'em down before you realize you're smashed, and have a designated driver.
I like Magic Hat #9 and I'm sure I'll pull a few IPAs as it gets later and I'm secure that I'm coasting home.Also, they don't watch you go to the bathroom, they just make sure you're not throwing up or dumping your beer in the urinal.
Hangover prevention--Always finish off your drinking bouts with water before sleeping. At least 12 oz, preferably more. Hangovers are caused by dehydration.
