If I go for the cheap, 1.75 liters of rum or vodka, they're about the price of an 18 pack of beer. Thats roughly 60 shots worth of booze for the price of 18 beers. I can't shot the stuff, tastes horrible, but it gets the job done. Boy do those get the job done.

How is he making beer? With one of those microbrewer's?

Wow, your better off finding out how to make vodka. Although, I hate to think what I would do if I had 40 liters of vodka sitting in my room. They'd find me on the roof of town hall and I'd be WASTED.

Sweet....we can have a drunken gathering on the governer's roof instead then! We can just be all sprawled out on the roof, tied to a big barrel full of vodka with a nifty hose system. Like an alcoholic hooka.

It varies a lot for me. I would say my average is about 3 drinks per week. They could be a glass of wine though, or a Fuzzy Leprechan from Pat O'Brien's that contains God knows how much booze(It's at LEAST 3 shots as far as I could see).

As far as home brewing goes a friend of mine in High school used to make the most discusting prison hooch known to man in his locker. He would add sugar and yeast ans other stuff to a bottle of All Sport, then seal it and let it go for months. We called it Locker Wine. It was even carbonated when it was done, only lightly though. Tasted terrible.

My Bio teacher had a still where he made pure alchohol "for experiments" in his lab. It was pretty big and had a constant drip into a five gallon bottle. People would try to steal it when he wasn't looking by putting their water bottle under the spout. It was about the strength of Everclear. He claimed it was cheaper than buying it from chem supply stores, but I think he was drinkin it. He was a strange guy.

varies extremely much..

sometimes on summer could be smth like 6+beers/evening(gotta work so can't drink too much) and on weekends 0.5-0.7 liters of liquor and beer/cider/long drink/whiskey...

sometimes i go on months without drinking although it's been awhile since that has happened

I need one of those...

Oh yeah, when I do up drinks, at least 3-5 shots to a glass. No watered down rum and cokes for me.

@Locke, I get the same way with drinking. I'll binge, and then get sick of it and not touch the stuff for weeks at a time. The problem is when I leave booze in the house. It reminds me of fun times and I'm all about drinking the rest of it. Not to mention the empty handles laying strewn about my room. I should get rid of those.

Ha, scary to think I just started drinking 1 1/2 years ago and I can out drink all my friends. I shocked my father when I told him how much I can drink. My little Rachel can actually keep up with me with drinking though. She, my brother and I downed a handle of Myer's rum between us one night last fall in that same garage. That was crazyness! She ended up chasing my brother around in the garage while he was trying to do shots from the bottle as she tried taking it away from him. I have to admit, my brothers got great hand-eye coordination to do shots on the run from a bottle. So proud of him.

It's funny. I can drink my wife under the table. We go to Chili's and I'll get two whiskey sours(they're buy one, get one free) and she will get two Amber Bock beers. I finish both sours and start drinkin something else and she's only done with a beer and a half and is reay to quit.

My friend with the baby is like that. One beer is enough to get her drunk. I made her a rum and coke, with about 3 shots in it and she was good and drunk. Needed help getting up the stairs. I don't mind though, it's cheap to get her drunk when she decides to drink. Rachel on the other hand, can put away almost as much as I do when she decides to drink. It cost us a good deal of money to stay drunk all week.

My step father's sister-in-law is like that. She's from a tiny redneck town and she's a tom boy. She goes to the bar and get's the Dorinda Special(Dorinda is her name). It's an empty picher, a pitcher of ice, a new bottle of Jack Daniels, and a pitch of coke. Plus a beer mug. At the end of the night, all that's left are the pitchers and mug. Maybe a little unused coke.

That sounds like me and Rachel. It's why I drink at home and not in bars. I save a lot of money. I'd be curious how much they are charging her.
