I probably would have done a few comparable things when I used to drink. It only works out to 10 and a bit litres of beer, and less than 100mls of spirits each- a fair effort, but obtainable.On New Years Eve 1999, a lined up 4 700ml bottles in front of me: I Jamesons Irish whiskey, 1 Coruba Jamaican rum, 1 Jim Beam Bourbon, and 1 Kirov vodka.
By 2230, only a third of Jamesons was left, having started at 1200.
My Year 12 formal fell on the night before the AFL Grand Final, so from 1700 Friday, this was my take
3 stubbies (375ml) beer
1 375ml bottle of Beam at formal
25 beers at after party
5 beers at pub, from 0345-0445
Sleep a little, go home, get changed, out at friends house for footy.
1 carton (24 cans)
Later in evening
3 or 4 more beers.
As for my forst drinking experience, it would have been in the latter part of Year 11, shortly after I had turned 16. If I recall right, it was before at Saturday footy game at school, and I drank a mixed 500ml bottle of red wine,scotch, and a splash of coke. It might of been then, or on a couple of other occasions at school.
It was a new experience, and early on, I couldn't really handle it, but quickly got used to it. The buzz point was fairly early, but it was soon passed by.
Ah, but those were the days, the flower of my misbegotten youth.
