Holy shit! They are letting you manage things that you are supposed to own, but only really license? Amazing.

“That one fucking instance” is also acceptable.

You know which one.

He didn’t do it for long enough, unfortunately.

My average intake on a slow evening was a 9 or 15 pack of Coors pint cans, so 144oz or 240oz.

These days, I stick to water. However, you probably have never seen someone who can consume as much as I can, casually. I’ll drink two pints of water at the refrigerator when I go for a glass, then fill that again and go back to doing whatever I was doing. (I won a ton of beer drinking bets. A pint of whatever is easily drank at between 3 and 5 seconds. My ability to consume any beverages is basically superhuman and likely a contributing factor to my brush with alcholisim.)

You buy a couple full cases of beer at a time, for starters. 72 (or more) beers might last a few days.

Keystone is basically just a water-beer and chain drinking those is fairly easy since cheap lager is shit once it gets warm. There is motivation to drink, is what I am saying.

But yeah, his numbers are about average for most “serious” beer drinkers I know. TBH, I am surprised that you are surprised. However, I didn’t grow up in a very healthy environment and norms are just a matter of perception.

I absolutely can’t argue with what gives you worse hangovers. That’s between you and your body.

Gatorade absolutely does have electrolytes: sodium and potassium. The problem is that alcohol depletes many more than just those. Pedialyte isn’t much better with only the addition of chloride. If a person is a less than moderate drinker, water is likely just fine and any extra electrolytes would get pissed out anyway.

If you drink long enough and hard enough, hangovers aren’t a thing. It’s not that hangovers go away, it’s that they become a normal part of life and your body will eventually just tune it out.

At the end of my drinking career, I could black out multiple times a week and still be “normal” the next morning and didn’t care or even notice if I was hungover or not.

For me, hangovers kinda morphed into something else entirely: dependency. That plays a huge part in muting anything that a normal person would feel, I am fairly sure.

But no, I don’t drink anymore and haven’t for a few years now. If I do ever drink again, hangovers absolutely won’t be a thing because I’ll likely be dead in a couple of days anyway.
