As pointed out by others it depends , a normal Saturday night would be 7-8 pints , same on a Friday unless i am working on Saturday morning then its 4-5 . The last all dayer i went on worked out at 18 pints , these days are rare maybe once a year .
Back in the days before all day opening a good mate used to drink 10 pints of Guiness at dinner time then 15 at the night session every weekend
Theres a Man with a Mullet going Mad with a Mallet in Millets !
On an average saturday afternoon it's four to five pints, but "doing the gallon" isn't unusual for me.
I'm reliably informed that my record is twenty one pints of Pride at a good friend's wedding. I wasn't counting, but others (apparently) were.
No more than one at a time?
Drinking in stereo anyone?Originally Posted by rpadam

There's always a show off!
I always say that lunchtime pints count double! So I abstain, as far as possible - leaves me half asleep for the afternoon!
Anyway, evenings tend to be approx 8 - 11.30, and I get though about 5 pints, which suits me fine. Christmas 2008, we had a terrific all-dayer in The White Lion - I thought that I could definitely be up for the occasional 10-pints over the course of a day's session. Subsequent events have shown that to be wide of the mark!
Its something I do either at festivals or pubs with a good range but when I'm still moving on to others, so occasionally two halves it is. Sometimes you get strange looks but who cares. I like the thirds options at Spoons festivals as well.Trainman is the 2 at a time expert!
I'm normally a 5 - 6 pint guy, the first is normally gone in 10 minutes and then they gradually slow.
I aim for about 10 in an all day session, sometimes it can go up one or two, but that is what i aim for. 5 for an evening session and couple of MILDs if working the next day, or i have nothing. I also do not really drink at home - cans, bottles and such like, unless it was a BBQ or something - i may have a small glass of port, but thats it - the fun to me is trying different pubs and drinks, but i will have half pints and walk out. I actually tried some Japenese lager thing in Warwick! the reviews will be out asap - but going away with the wife for a few days so more backlog!
