      It’s an all-day activity, in my opinion it’s much more pleasant than binging.

      Hmmm… for some reason having 14 beers has made the prospect of having a 15th beer seem like a very good idea.

    It’s always interesting to hear about where people draw the line. I drank 6 beers over 4 days and I feel like an alcoholic. I’ve also done takeout 3 days in a row and I feel gross about it - I just made meals for the week. In the meantime what I described for some people is an average week.

    Can someone translate how much 14 beers is in Murrica? Cause in my neck of the woods that would be 7 liters with half a liter per beer.

      In Canada at least, most restaurants serve beer in 18oz glasses unless otherwise stated, so I’m gonna assume that’s what they do in the States too, which I’m guessing is where this meme is from. So 18*14=252oz, which is 7.45L. So basically what you said.

          Yeah, the 18oz “pint” really bugs me, but unfortunately it’s everywhere. It’s an exception if it’s 20oz, not the norm. Last night actually I was at a restaurant that was trying to pass off 17oz as a pint. If it wasn’t so expensive I wouldn’t mind it, but at least where I live, 18oz goes north of $9 most places, it’s crazy. There’s only one restaurant nearby that sells beer at a decent price, so that’s basically the only place I go these days if I want a drink other than at home.

              Chuck’s Roadhouse is pretty good for beer prices. IIRC, it’s:

              12oz - $3 18oz - $5

              That could be slightly off but you get the idea. They’ve got a 30ish oz pitcher too that’s probably only $15 or something. I can’t remember now but it was very cheap. I don’t go to Chucks a ton, the food is decent (not great but decent) and well priced, I just don’t usually eat out, but my wife loves restaurants so Chucks has become our go-to now because of pricing. Life is expensive, all that jazz. Point is, I can get a small beer for $3 which is completely unheard of elsewhere. Yeah it’s only 12oz but it’s still a good deal, and I can get drunk at home if I really want. I don’t like getting beer drunk anyway, I always feel miserable that way.

              I found out apparently Crabby Joes has cheap cocktails too. $8 for a 2oz old fashioned is pretty cheap around here. Still cheaper to make at home, but I’m glad some places still exist with a drink menu for the budget-conscious.
