Colossal Hangover

[OwlHoot]

I don't buy anyone can drink 4-5 bottles of wine in a single go, without a few crafty pukes. Shirley not, on a biological level...

If it was Rosé, at say 7% ABV, that would be equivalent to not much more than 2 bottles of 13% ABV wine, which one could easily polish off over several hours (especially if that included a few hours in the afternoon as well as the evening).

Mind you, I wouldn't want to accuse the OP of drinking Rosé

Put 9 empty wine bottles in the recycling this morning & that was just between 2 of us. Not to mention the 3 pints of Addlestone's Cloudy at lunchtime

Still, I did cycle 40 miles yesterday so at least some of the calories will be burnt off

Combined with whatever you may have eaten I reckon you got yourself on the outside of around 5500 calories. 40 miles on the bike will do about 2-2500 depending on how hard you push so your still up around 3000 calories.

To put it in perspective, as a rule of thumb, there are around 3500 calories in a pound of body fat.

I think you have to offer a calorie discount for the amount of time spent on or around the toilet.

I think I'd be dead if I drank that amount.

Got through 2 bottles of wine to myself once. Never, ever again. Hangover destroyed me.

Why can I drink 3 bottles of wine, maybe a few pints beforehand but never get a hangover?

Not complaining but...

I like a good old drink. Most days. Have got through half a bottle of whisky one night, have got through 10 pints in a night. Drank 2 and a half bottles of wine one day, but 9 bottles between two?!?!?

Hats off to you, sir!

Hangovers? Not had one since I was a student. That part of my brain that was sensitive to hangovers has long since died...

I get the feeling though that it took part of the coding logic with it.

No hangovers either.

4 bottles in a day is not unknown.

When I was touring with bands I got through some serious amounts of booze. Pints in double figures followed with whisky by the bottle. Never did drugs though and was never tempted. I did get hangovers in those days that seemed terminal but survived.

As I was waiting in the supermarket checkout queue tonight, I was eyeing up the drinks aisle, weighing up whether to swap my place in the queue for a bottle or two of Stella. Nah, alcohol is too expensive. I've been off it for years, but never did enjoy it to excess. A nice cold bottle of beer is nice though. Queue place won. Still fancy a cold beer though.
