christmas boots posted:Supposedly he lived and learned nothing I was laid up in the hospital some years back recovering from a real nasty bout of H1N1 and the guy in the bed across from mine was a dude my age who'd absolutely hosed up his liver binge drinking. I overheard the doctor literally say to him that if he had another drink, he would most likely die from it, his liver was that far gone. About two hours later, all his buddies came to visit him and he very loudly proclaimed to them "Yo, I'm getting discharged in three days. When I get outta here, we're gonna get blackout drunk!" I assume he's dead now, but who knows. People like this never learn.

Addiction is real. Even alcohol. A lot of people with addiction would literally chose death over not doing whatever their addiction is. Hth.

Push El Burrito posted:It's straight up illegal in some states to serve alcohol to someone who is visibly drunk. Which is bullshit, I'll tell you when I've had enough David. Therein lies the absurdity of explicit legislation around alcohol. SmartServe (Ontario liquor sales license) training literally tells you it's illegal to serve someone into intoxication but what the hell have all these bars and clubs been doing for decades? There's tacit acknowledgement in the training and in the policies of any pub you've ever drank or worked at, that it's not so simple. I recently saw two guys order "a quick six (shots of tequila)" between them, and they basically sat there for another hour before the bartender would serve them anything else. Even that is technically over the line but manageable if you know the person or can monitor them easily. There are of course situations where it's absolutely beyond the pale... like someone betting his buddies he can drink 50 shots of tequila. If I were bartending, it'd be "sure, I bet you can, but not here."

I dont know or have heard of hyper sphere, sounds like another bs coin poo poo or some other empty tech company that tries to do the VC buy out strat. Also isnt 50ish shots about 50 fl oz, and about half a gallon of liquid? evem if it was just water/some other sort of soft drink thats a ton of liquid. Reminds me of previous nerd discussion about Futurama's 100 cups of coffee / caffeine's LD50 being higher than that volume of water by a decent amount.

No this is technology that has existed since the 90's when Volcano vapes came out, except its a cup not a plastic bag you pass around. It's probably even older than that, and nothing about it is new or innovative except that it kinda looks like an oil lamp which is sorta neat.

This reminds me of 'Century Club', a drinking 'game' where you try to drink 100 shots of beer in 100 minutes. Never got to try that one, it does sound deceptively easy though so I imagine there's a bottleneck and I couldn't do it.

It'll get you good and drunk but that's also just a lot of fluid in a short time.

Yeah I think it's the short time that's really the killer you don't expect. I'm sure a lot of games have ended up with pissed pants. Another thing someone once suggested "is impossible", is "two 24s in 48 hours." The second day might kill me, but if I can choose a beer that's cheap and low percentage (which virtually everything in a 24 is, compared to what I normally drink), and piss whenever and wherever I want, I think that's doable.

It's funny that even if the Musk nerds are right and the car does somehow magically detect if the object in front of you has a soul, wouldn't you still want your car to break ahead of crashing into a child sized object in the road? What if it's a bollard or something?

When I (a norwegian) moved to Florida in 2011, me and another norwegian friend were invited to a party by some american coworkers/neighbors. We both showed up with a case of 24 cans of beer each and the guy at the door was like "woah you brought beer for the whole party, awesome!" And we were like "uuuhhh.. no?" Most of the drinkers there were on the "sharing a six pack and calling in sick for two days" level. Truly pathetic drinkers, the americans

We have cases in the US as well, they're the most common way to distribute bulk quality beer,ike budweiser etc. It's mostly all cans, and mostly under 5%. We call them cases to differentiate from 30 racks, which are typically PBR and the like. You can get a 30 rack of PBR for under 50 cents per can. Full cases of bottles exist, but they're terribly heavy.

I got talked into doing the 100 beers in 100 minutes thing about 20 years ago on a beach trip when we were just out of highschool. We used VB, a 4.9% beer that everyone knows is a cheap and terrible beer but there will still be other Australians screaming at me for that 'blasphemy'. I remember I was the first to throw up at about the mid 60s mark, some other kid made it to 80 or so, one or two stopped at 100 and the last couple of kids there decided to just keep on going till they threw up (120 or so). Then everyone got spend the rest of the night throwing up over and over again. Would not recommend.

Though the VB suggests you weren't in Queensland. As an ex-Victorian, VB is poo poo beer - true beer enjoyers drink Melbourne Bitter. (Its also poo poo, but gently caress you.)

The 100 shots of beer in 100 minutes thing was referred to as Centurions at my college. The one time I tried it I made it to 77 before hurling. In my defence I later found out that the shot glass I had chosen was in fact a 45 ml shot instead of a standard 30ml shot so I'm going to claim a technical victory, but I'm not sure pacing it out over the extra time would have helped. The real fun thing my college did was something called of The Bachelor of Applied Drinking. 18 schooners (285ml) of beer within 4 hours. It needed to be on a pub crawl, so you had to visit at least four different venues. Two additional beers penalty every time you took a piss, four beer penalty every time you threw up. You could also do The Bachelor of Applied Drinking with Honours, which was 18 pints of beer (452ml). Same penalties. You would occasionally get situation's like one year where a medical student fashioned an external catheter out of a condom and a length of tubing, so that he could wear it over his cock and run it down his pants leg, so that on the walk to the next pub he could sneakily take a piss in the parklands without paying a penalty. Masters of applied drinking was double shots of 40%+ ABV spirits.. 18 of them, same penalties. A single attempt was made during the history of the college, and the person attempting it was hospitalised.

If that's the NZ/Aus tradition then it's getting 21 shots in during your 21st birthday from morning until night, not all in a row or even all at one event It's still a lot but it's a fairly manageable level of drunk

A lot of them involved midori and/or Malibu, which will forever both taste and smell like shrieking women en masse, to me. I wasn’t a drinker at 21 and I am so happy to have not been pressured into that bullshit. I did very expensive cocaine of dubious authenticity for my 21st.
