How long would you expect one to last?
Fastest you could finish one?

I don't know how long I would expect one to last, but I'm on pace for 10 days

I had originally proposed 36 hours, but that's not realistic, because I'm not pushing myself to do something that will result in alcohol poising. 60hrs is probably all i would put money on, which is kind of lame (in terms of betting).

swig i'm quite sure you could do this in 36 hours, especially if the bottle in question is lower than 80 proof.

i had a huge argument a few years back with one of my old friends about how it was impossible to finish a handle by yourself in 1 day without puking. He says he has done it in a standard night of drinking. We were almost setting up a huge bet when he wouldnt budge when I used a BAC calculator and Shaq's stats and it said he would be dead, but I didnt want him to actually end up in the hospital so I called it off.

lol, probably a good call. i probably would've made the bet with almost anyone with just a liter, that is if you consider a standard night of drinking like 10-3 or something.

36 hours would be easy back in the day. I'd regularly drop a handle of Ten High Whiskey on a friday and Saturday night... now in old man status.. I'd be pretty miserable, but I'd probably be able to choke it down. GL sir.
So you click their picture and then you get their money?

i drank a fifth of captain in 45 minutes my freshman year of college, then proceeded to do 5 or 6 more shots over the next hour. Dont remember past 11 that night, and i woke up on a piss soaked couch.

This resonates strongly with me. I used to down half a litre of Vodka before even going out for the night.

kingnat, it's like my previous impression of you, a lonely humorless man, has been viciously torn apart and replaced with someone who can amuse me for seconds on end. I swell with shock and pride.

ive done a fifth in a night before and a handle between 3 friends in a night. taking it on yourself? 2 days is probably realistic, wouldn't be that fun though.

a handle is 1.75L, a fifth is 750ml, so a handle is 2 and 1/3 fifths. Easily possible in 3 nights of aggressive drinking.

I find myself buying handles of Jim Beam every other week or so, and that's with drinking occurring primarily on weekends with maybe the occasional glass in between. If I was getting drunk every night I could probably polish it in 3 days or so? But boy would I regret it on that 4th day.

Good to know I'm not the only one I guess.

Buying a case makes sense, but it would make me feel like an alcoholic (instead I just pay more to live in denial). Going down to Kentucky I can get great deals on teh bourbon's.
