I know a bloke who drinks a 30pack of XXXX gold cans everynight and puts in a good days work everyday
I don't know how anyone could drink a 30 pack in one day let alone do it every night.
I don`t know what`s bigger- the thirsts or the imaginations

Buying in 6 packs? That is hideous in todays terms, I remember when my dad could buy a carton of beer(half cold/half hot) or buy half a carton @ half a cartons price. Beer costs about twice as much buying in the 6 pack.
30 cans a night = 1 can every 10 minutes for 5 hours non-stop.. B-ll Shit if you ask me..

Oh, I don`t know about that-there`s blokes drinking a bottle of Scotch every night and a bottle of JD every night, so 30 cans of Gold would be flat out winning a Bronze

You are quite correct. I don't go out to the blokes house every day to make sure he is reaching his qouta.
I should of said "I know a bloke 'they say' drinks a 30 pack a night." But what 'they say' is usually pretty true.Also I work next to the bottlo that this bloke drives through every day with a carton on the back of his ute. This isnt to say he his is actually drinking it though.Now i'm filled with your wisdom, I'd say whats going on is the bloke is just trying to impress the girl behind the counter at the bottle shop so she thinks he is some sort of a hell of a drinker . Then i'd say he goes home and tips it down the sink hoping his plan is all coming together.
I hope this is more belivable

They are both abpout 30 standard drinks. Thats not the tough part. The tough part is the sheer volume of liquid in 30 cans!
Even if you gave yourself 6 hours each night to drink them, thats 5 cans per hour (1.875 L) which is one hell of a lot of liquid to consume!

Golly, that would be almost $1000.00 a month for Scotch, wouldn`t it?
Wish I had a job that afforded that.
Guess I`ll have to stay down with the peasants and drink beer.

It's a little more, but I could afford it back then. Certainly couldn't now

But if I could I would be buying a keg system, I enjoy beer alot more that spirits these days

I don't understand why you'd bullshit about something like drinking too much, after all it's nothing to be proud of really

Maybe they don`t mean to be bullshit artists, maybe when they get thru a certain amount, they lose all contact with reality.
Could that explain it?

I try not to drink too much during the week, I'll try to have two stubbies a night.. and on the friday night and saturday night i will have about 8 stubbies. my g/f doesnt like me drinking too much, so i try to have a alcohol free night a week to make her happy.
I have found that i drink more now that i homebrew, but that is mainly because i am interested the different styles and like to experiment. I dont think i could even drink a slab of beer or a bottle of whiskey a night and be able to get up in the morning, let alone get up to go to work...

Waking up alone after a big night out is not the worst that can happen.

But waking up alone with a sore arse and a dollar in your hand would be.
