Mfw at a game and some bitch tries to sell me a budlight before i pull out my 5 minature jack daniels bottles i snuck...

well it's 8.5 shots of liquor. average baseball game is 3 hours. that's some drinking man. I couldn't imagine anyone but an alcoholic drinking that much liquor casually . maybe he's fat as fuck, idk. that's some drinking.

>he doesnt get shitfaced to further enhance the activities and interests he enjoys
lol sounds pretty lame dude

>thinking 5 drinks in 3 hours is a lot
Lol bro.... there are plenty of people, my younger self included, who drink that much at the house right before going out to drink for the night

sorry but I like to actually remember things the next day. and I've known real alcoholics and have seen with my own eyes how destructive it is. I witnessed a grown woman shit her pants and pass out on the kitchen floor. i've seen my dad fall asleep on the toilet dozens of times and have 0 memory of the last 12 hours. liquor is fucking poison
i'll have a beer or a glass of wine if the occasion calls for it but that's it. call me a pussy, i don't mind.
where did you get the number 5 from? it's 8.5 drinks. and consider context. this ain't in the heat of a party with all your friends. this is a dude sitting in the stands watching a ball game. who on earth needs to get that drunk to enjoy sports? that's a dependency issue.

Hi there alcoholic in denial, how's it going?

8.5 shots? What? Five 50ml bottles is equivalent to less than two 5% beers an hour if it's 3 hours, even less so if he's at one of the 50% of games that go beyond that. After actually looking at the numbers I'd imagine even if you are 140 pounds you won't lose your shit. A shot is classically a bit above 40ml btw, it's not 8.5.

what math are you doing? 5 x 50 ml=250 ml. 250=8.5 ounces. that's 8.5 shots.

feel sorry for the people drinking at your bar and paying full shot price for a 1 ounce “shot”

An ounce where I live is between 40-45ml, close to 1.5 ounces

A shot where I live*

I’m not denying being an alcoholic at all, drinking has caused me plenty of problems over the years. But, I damn sure will defend a grown man’s right to drink 5 puny little bottles of sauce over the course of a 3+ hour game and I will attest that he will be in perfectly acceptable condition to drive home afterwords as well. Unless he weighs like 100 pounds, but that would not make him a grown man!

1 ounce is standard. sure they come in doubles (2oz glasses) but when people are buying shots they're buying 1 oz shots most of the time. I don't know what point you're trying to prove. the amount of liquor in question is always 250 ML and that isn't changing.

same as the guy above. stop chopping up semantics about what constitues a "shot" at your local bar. we're still talking about 250 Ml of liquor. if you're drinking that at a ball game you got a dependency issue, period.

>ruining your butthole for shitty whiskey
absolute state

It's just strange to me as I've never seen or even heard of a 1 ounce shot.

It's never too late to get help my man. It doesn't make you weak.

Interesting how you associate adulthood(being a grown man as you put it) with drinking alcohol, I guess thats what society has ingrained into people's minds, when I'm reality anyone can drink alcohol, doesnt matter the age, all that matters is the quantity. I think the more mature and grown up thing to do would be to show that you can resist the urge to consume poison and show that you aren't addicted to alcohol

>standard drinks
Are you a woman? Your avergae beer has like 1.4 standard drinks, 8 standard drinks is 5 small beers. Fucking fag go home loser

A standard drink is defined as 12 ounces 5% abv beer, which contains the same amount of ethanol as 50ml of 40% abv liquor. Therefore, 250ml of jacky d is 5 drinks
I have it under control nowadays. I quit altogether for 3 months after the holidays earlier this year and havent had more than a 12 pack a week since then

>I will attest that he will be in perfectly acceptable condition to drive home afterwords as well.
sorry for not seeing the amusement in this. my friend in high school was killed by a drunk driver. I think you need to sort out your shit, and I really hope you're joking about the driving thing

Quite erudite, albeit amusing underneath the Irish flag.

hell yeah I'm serious. i've seen so many people destroyed by alcohol and drugs. there's nothing "cool" about it and I wish they'd take those fucking Matthew McConaughey ads off the air for keeping the myth going that it's "cool" to drink. It's illegal to advertise cigarettes, I fail to see why alcohol, a far more pervasive and destructive drug continue to be glorified.

Out of curiosity, is this a quebec thing? I've never been to a place in Canada that serves 1 ounce shots

Look man, I see that a lot of people in your life have been adversely affected by alcohol so I get why you demonizing it, and I have to admit its a huge problem in society. But the topic of the thread has become whether or not drinking 5 drinks at the game is “way too much”, and I have to state confidently that I do believe even your average casual drinker or even non-drinker would not think it’s all that ridiculous

Based, these things are fact, and the only people who usually deny them are alcoholics in denial

i've only ever drank (in Canada) in bars in Ottawa or in Montreal, and in all of them 1 oz shots were the standards, with doubles if you want them. also whenever I've been to the carribean (dominican, cuba) the shots were 1 oz. i can't speak for anywhere else obviously but it's interesting to hear about 1.5 being the standard in some places.

yeah obviously this issue is very close to me so i may be thinking more emotionally than i should. if you can handle 250 ML of liquor at the ball game, then sure do your thing. it just seems like a bit much to me. i think 1 shot (using the 1 oz measurement) every half hour is the maximum. 9 over 3 is every 20 minutes feels like much to me. and even at 6 in 3 hours you shouldn't be driving man

youtu.be/FmY5uN18SaU

what he's talking about is just the rough equivalent of 4 pints though

if you think 4 pints over a 3+ hour game is alcoholic you're incredibly sheltered

drinking beer isn't the same as drinking liquor. beer doesn't fuck you up nearly as quickly. and stop chopping up the measurements to make it seem better. this bottle is 250 ML. imagine that entirely filled with hard liquor. who drinks that at a ball game??? you can think I'm a poof all you want but if that's considered normal in England then you as a culture drink too much

The alcoholic part is that you have to drink at all, and at a game even, and don't try to bring in that excuse of "ohh it's to have fun. Alcohol is fun yasss", oh really, alcohol is fun, yea so is mdma, meth heroine and cocaine, why don't you have a go at them as well then love eh??? I don't like alcohol because it's treating and looked upon like a harmless habit, like it has no side effects and it's just something normal that people consume, when in reality people should be made aware of how bad it is for you, nevermind the fact that it's literal poison, it's also extremely addictive and teenagers are thought from day one that they must drink alcohol otherwise they are square and not cool. This is quite ridiculous, especially for a developing brain and body like that of a teenager, it has massive negative effects pertaining to the growth and development of it

Not him, I agree that drinking straight spirits is grim, but it's not a dangerous level of drinking at all, unless hes dependent on it. Imagine drinking jsut over a pint an hour, that's absolutely nothing, but your concern is heartfelt and nice nonetheless

>you as a culture drink too much

that I'll readily admit, but I still maintain that the quantity isn't that bad

just for reference, if I was going out drinking I would expect to drink at least 8 pints of beer and I'm the average drinker

A 750ml bottle of 40% abv liquor (a fifth) is said to contain 16.9 drinks. 250 is 1/3rd of that, so 250ml is 5.63 drinks, less than a six pack of beer.
If you are drinking that much every day, then yes that is a problem. If you drink that much once a week or thereabouts in a festive environment where you are “letting loose” as they say, it seems perfectly healthy

Going to watch sports is a social activity and drinking enhances socialising, and also yes alcohol is 'poison' but we have literally evolved to process it, 10% of our liver function is devoted to metabolising it, there are safe limits

Doesn't matter how often you drink it, alcohol isn't healthy. It's not a healthy substance at all, stop spreading this misinformation please

yes exactly this. treating every chance you can as an opportunity to drink a stealth alcoholism.
drinking at the bar? of course. drinking at a party? of course. it's shit like "well, that was a good dinner. time a drink." "hey this is a great TV show, time for a drink." "hey the game is on, time for a drink." "hey I'm home from work, time for a drink." i've known way too many alcoholics and seen this cavalier attitude to drinking, that it's just another part of the day, same as drinking water and brushing your teeth.

it's no different than a smoker having 5 free minutes or being outside and thinking "may as well have a puff." "just finished my cigarette, may as well have another."

and it's so easy to fall into this line of thinking because society and marketing pushes it so much. drinking is cool! if you're NOT drinking something is wrong with you! Drinking is A-Ok when it's "time to drink." the difference between a normal person and an alcoholic is for an alcoholic, "time to drink" comes along a looot more often and in instances where it's completely unnecessary.

thank you englandbro

sure but that's going out drinking. who doesn't get drunk when they're at the bar with their friends? i've been drunk hundreds of times.
this relates to my point further up the post where an alcohol dependent person is drinking when it isn't the customary "time to drink." it goes from an occasion to an expectation.

>he isnt interesting enough so he needs enchants to cope with himself
lmao, stay lame dude

I’m not implying that the quantity of alcohol itself is healthy, I’m saying the ritual of getting together with friends or just strangers and feeling good while doing something you enjoy is hugely beneficial to one’s life in somewhat intangible, yet readily understandable ways.
What I’m saying in laymen’s terms is, anybody who never goes put and has a few too many drinks is probably a tight assed socially awkward wierdo

Interesting, having to cope using alcohol because you're incapable of socialising without it, and yes, our body can process a myriad of poisons, still doesn't mean it's healthy or good for you

He's referring to ones mental state, smoothbrain

God I fucking hate women so fucking much. Of course she couldn't tell you didn't need a beer, because she's a fucking idiot like every other woman. Flip that cunt off for real next time.

And there you go again, I don't know if it's cope or you genuinely have never experienced any other form of socialising other than getting shitfaced with the lads, but if you're spending time together with people that are actually your mates then you don't need alcohol to "enhance" anything. This argument seems like a scapegoat for alcoholics to keep drinking alcohol under the guise of "yeah it's just for fun m8, just out with the boys ha" which is depressing man. Nothing positive ever comes from alcohol, simple as

are you teetotal, irishbro?

Don't be facetious, you were saying you didn't understand why people would drink, well that's the reason

And yes it's a 'poison', so are cherries and red meat and all manner of other things we eat, the whole purpose of the liver etc is to make these things safe, there totally are safe amounts that don't damage your body

the post that saved the thread

I wouldn't say naturally grown cherries and meat is poison bro, whereas ethanol (alcohol) is scientifically proven to be poisonous to the human body. You think you can die from eating too much cherries or heck drinking too much milk in one sitting? No, but you can die from drinking too much alcohol

Ive been sober for years at a time and Ive seen the depths of alcoholism. Ive had friends in the church youth group and Ive had friends who cant function without opioids. Fact of the matter is, there is simply nothing wrong, and no lasting ill effects from getting a little too inebriated from time to time. Can you quantify that statement? No. Is it still a fact of life? Yes

Wow that's very interested, I trust your opinion and view you as an expert on this subject please give me life advice BARF BARF BARF BARF BARF BARF BARF BARF BARF

Often times, people start out wanting to only get a little inebriated but end up completely shitfaced and canned, it's a dangerous and slippery slope and peer pressure plays into that as well, but that's a whole different point. I guess I'm not one to judge other people's lives, I just don't like alcohol is all

You can die by drinking too much water! I'm not saying 'booze is as healthy as water', what I am saying is that although alcohol can be dangerous if consumed in excess its absolutely 100% safe if you drink a reasonable amount
Saying 'its poison' is a bad way to convince someone to not drink because it's got a fat asterisk alongside it. Better to say it makes you fat

>You can die by drinking too much water!
WAIT REALLY??????? MAN YOU GUYS ARE SO INTERESTING I LOVE THIS TOPIC

>and no lasting ill effects from getting a little too inebriated from time to time
well it depends who you are. if you are an alcoholic, which it sounds like you are, you absolutely should NEVER touch the stuff. your message is a little ambiguous.
>Ive been sober for years at a time
what does this mean? that you've fallen off the wagon multiple times? if that's the case then no you absolutely should not drink because you are an alcoholic

Lol young man if you are barfing 9 times on a single occasion you surely did not get a “little” inebriated!
I wouldnt say I like it either but boy it sure does get the best of me sometimes! Its like that younger years crush you just cant stop staying in touch with on facebook even though it doesnt do you a damn bit of good and only causes pain in the end. But that feeling though, that short lived feeling!

I never was one for yank opinions but dis nigga canada lmao

thats literally not even enough for a full nightout lmao

Ah well the difference is there is no safe limit for smoking, but there IS a safe amount to drink that causes a person no harm whatsoever. So yes I would encourage responsible drinking

omg

i'm 26, and this is exactly the enabling attitude that allows alcohol to continue blighting society. i must be under 18, because otherwise i'd be cool and old enough to drink!! newsflash retard, being underrage never stopped anyone from going to bars, and you'd have to be underrage yourself to think getting drunk makes you the king of cool. I was going to bars when I was 15, because it was cooooool and everyone else did it. what a laugh.

my stance on alcohol is exactly because of my life experience, personally and among friends and family. i need 2 hands to count the alcoholics and drug addicts i've known. i need 2 hands to count the lives of friends and family that I watched destroyed in live time. one of which was killed in a car accident by a man who clearly thought he was ok to drive!!

fuck you so much man. i'm going to bed.

So why not lower the drinking age, if it's safe surely everyone should be allowed it. But then there's that word, "responsible" and you're hiding behind it again, implying that everyone who drinks does it responsibly when you know well full that ain't the case, I'd say up to 90% of people who drink get shitfaced quite often

The drinking age is lowered in the UK if you're in a pub with parents with a meal, this encourages responsible drinking. Plenty of countries have people drinking when they become teenagers and don't have an issue, getting smashed is a cultural thing it's not the fault of alcohol

Look it up

i know its true but are you really saying people (and by people i mean literally everyone) gets used to drinking because they have a cider with their roast once in a blue moon between the ages of 16-17. Like wtf are you talking about

Sounds to me like you're trying very hard to justify your need for alcohol. Stop lying to yourself friend, alcohol will ruin your life m8

I brought it up because the Irishman was talking about lowering official drinking ages, not about when people start drinking. Also lmao @ u starting drinking at 16

Yes yes just like the other 99% of this country doomed to alcoholism because pubs exist

Oh yeah forgot to address that point, I'm well aware of kids being allowed to drink at 16 etc, why not lower it further tho? I'd say 13 is a good age, that's when most people hit puberty and start to want to have fun socializing

Reminder the only acceptable drinks are
>water
>wine during meals
>craft beer
