Drug info - 24 bottles of Corona in 12 hours

[KrazyAffair]

SWIM is planning on drinking 24 bottles of Coronas in 12 hours. Any tips? Planning on taking a lot of Vitamin C and Milk Thistle to reduce the alcohol toxicity. He's also plans to drink several glasses of water.

That's quite a lot of beer. I don't really have any tips but expect to feel very drowsy and possibly sick to the stomach.

Another drinking challenge?
SWIY should have no problem with this in Snuffkins opinion EDIT [reconsidering, the total is quite alot. If they are 330ml bottles and Snuffkin has done his math right that works out at almost 8 liters total and 4 pints (roughly) every 3 hours. 4 pints every 3 hours shouldn't be too difficult a pace except for the total SWIY needs to consume]. Perhaps the advice would be pace yourself, don't race through trying to put away as many as you can as quickly you can.

Peace

I calculate that to be 14 pints:

(330mlx24)/568ml=14 pints (rounded up)

14 pints of lager is quite a lot, but certainly doable over 12 hours. As mentioned, pacing yourself is the most important thing.

That said, i'd probably rattle my way through 6 or 7 pints in the first 3 hours, then just take a break (or even a nap) then go through the rest in the final 6 hours or so. Might be sick on the home stretch, but it is doable. I've done a bottle of vodka in 5-6 hours, and i think that's about the same as 10 pints. I wouldn't have been in much of a state to drink much more, but after a few hours break, i'd certainly have been able to do 4 pints.

Think it might be time to grow up and stop playing these dumb games. If you think that drinking certain quantities of booze in a set period of time is going to make your dick bigger or your friends like you, you are severely mistaken.

What is the point of all this? Do your friends like to see each other get sick or miserable? Whats wrong with just drinking what you like till you've drank all you wanted to? Are you getting paid to do this?

I'm sorry but I just feel these sort of "games" are as childish as you can get and really don't see the point of them.

	How is this helpful to the OP's question? He's really goning to listen to a 28year old.. that'll change his mind. And ...
	good intentions, even tho OP didnt claim it to be for any game, still harm prevention advice. thanks

Agree, a case of beer in a half of a day is not no big deal.

[Fango]

SWIM likes that the guys from the uk are like "so?"

Tbh. thats really not a lot, when SWIM is at festivals or out on a camping holiday he will start drinking as soon as he wakes up, and stop when he goes to bed, doing a few cans an hour, but SWIM drinks at his own pace, doing any drug in excess with a challenge set on it is just silly. Enjoy your beer, drink as much as you like, lifes too short, dont waste it with silly drinking competitions

If SWIY can handle being under the influence of 12 drinks at one time, go for it.

The liver processes alcohol to the point that it's no longer psychoactive at a rate of about 1 drink per hour. By the end of it, supposing SWIY keeps a steady pace of two drinks an hour, there will be about 12 beers' worth in your system towards the end of it. Depending on body weight and tolerance this shouldn't be a problem, but if you're near tiny like SWIM.... it could border lethal.

My suggestion: sneak some bread halfway through to soak up some of the alcohol, and before SWIY starts, take a shot of milk. Milk lightly coats the stomach and slows alcohol absorption. Have a mulitvitamin to take the next day (cause SWIY's gonna have a hell of a hangover) with food.

SWIM is 190 pounds so I'm not tiny..my tolerance is not supergood, but I think it's good enough.

[yaba]

Will say the same as what I said in the wine drinking competition.... Better not ! But not hard, at least not for swim... Swim drinks that daily. Or more !!!!

[old hippie 56]

Should pick a better brand than Corona.

[bcubed]

I agree this isn't terribly safe.

This hinges on:
1. Body size
2. Tolerance for alcohol
3. Metabolic processing rate of alcohol

Depending on the juxtaposition of the three, this could get one anywhere from "pleasantly buzzed" to "alcohol poisoning." I know, form Lizard's experience, that his tolerance grew 3X as he went from not drinking at all to addiction.

I'd use the first two hours to drink fairly rapidly, building to "good and drunk," then attempt to drink at a pace that allows one to "maintain" at that level.

I'd think this really hinges upon metabolic processing rate. Does SWIY have a long-term history of drinking to excess? If so, metabolic processing is generally ramped up in a more-or-less permanent fashion.

Off-topic, everyone, but SWIM has noticed that this man is from Texas and so would like to inquire as to whether, in his opinion, Pearl would be the better brand It's brilliant beer.

[OsCarwild]

Plenty of people have had 24 beers over the course of 12 hours. It is easily doable. That is only 2 an hour. Corona is a kind of heavy beer though so don't be too surprised if SWIY starts to feel sick to the stomach... SWIM doesn't think it should be terribly dangerous because SWIY would start to throw up the beer long before they reached the red zone for alcohol poisoning... Just have fun. SWIY will have a bad time if they spend 12 hours trying to force as much beer as they can down their throat.

Corona, heavy? OsCarwild's gotta be kidding, it's just as watery as any American or Canadian beer, IMO anyway.

I agree that consuming anything past your limit is a bad idea, no matter what the substance or time frame. I do things that I enjoy, and even if I would do it, this activity isn't one of them. Just not my idea of a good time.

[its just a ride]

corona kinda sucks it taste like piss water in swims opinion if swiy wants to get good and drunk just drink some bombay sapphire or some everclear or somthing but everyones got there taste i guess

[OsCarwild]

Richi, if the person we are talking to is used to American beer (which he is because his location status is USA) then yes, Corona is relatively heavy. It has 148 calories... Bud Light has 94 and Budweiser has 142. Most Americans consider plain Budweiser a relatively heavy beer, and Corona is heavier than that. And since many people drink light beers a beer with 148 calories should certainly be called a filling beer. This means that there is certainly no problem with me calling it a "kinda" heavy beer. Stop looking for reasons to criticize other peoples posts when there is nothing wrong with them.

SWIM remembers not long ago watching a documentary on the introduction of World Series Cricket to Australia in the 70's/80's by the late great media mogul Kerry Packer.

The cricketing grounds were getting worried by the 'rowdyness' of the crowds and decided to impose restrictions on the amount of BYO alcohol allowed into the grounds. Now the average crowds in these days were between 20000 to 60000 depending on ground size.

The limit was 1 carton per person per day eg 24 cans at 375ml per can. At the time there was a small outrage over these limitations.

There is no real point to this but just to highlight how society's attitudes have greatly changed and that a carton of beer in 12 hours was once deemed not only socially acceptable but average.

There is no reason why 24 bottles of Corona in 12 hours is not responsibly achievable by the original SWIY if he paces himself which in this case would be a beer every half an hour, eats something sensible every now and again like a BBQ or bread, if he is just doing it for recognition well he will head down that black dead end alley the booze will lead.

SWIM wants to know why SWIY is subjecting their body to such strange drinking rituals. SWIM is sure that others are wondering the same. Please indulge...

[Mdubzui]

24 Bottles should be easily doable, back in Swims less heathconcerned teenage days he would consume on average 8-12 pint cans of cider which translates to around 4-6Litres in say around 3-6hours at parties.
Albiet swim never sat around planning how much he was gonna drink, he just went to offliscenes and bought some witha fake id and went back if he ran out. Swim knows of these drinking marathons and would say it's not how much you drink because even if you drink 24bottles and you go unconcious just aswhich swim has manyatime you won't win anything.
Find a happy medium and drink to that.

[OsCarwild]

SWIM agrees with the above post. Drinking to get to a set number is pointless. Just buy beer and start drinking it. Don't even keep count. SWIY should just drink until they feel as if they have had as much as they want then stop. There is no good reason to count how many beers SWIY has had.

[EscapeDummy]

Swim would suggest:

1. Start with 3-4 beers the first hour, then drink one beer for the next few hours, until later in the day, then start increasing beers per hour.
2. Eat a BIIIIG meal before you start drinking. It should be greasy, oily, full of fats, proteins, and oils.
3. Mid day, at a point you don't feel toooooo drunk, do some light exercise for 20-30 mintues. Don't strain yourself too hard though.
4. Water, water, and more water. Drink a shitload of water throughout the day. Make sure to have some salty snacks too.

[SWIM1888]

Thats not much more than a pint an hour.

Unless you have never had a drink in your life then its not really extreme. You'll be sick with beer before anything else.

If your that worried only have 12

[old hippie 56]

When the cowboy was a bartender, salty snacks was always furnished for the customers. Make them drink more beer....

Got in trouble for that for standing on the ground and pissing on the porch!!! But our porch was a few feet off the ground..

[Ilsa]

kitten is guessing that testicles have a lot to do with this, but nonetheless, water is a good idea, but someing with electrolytes would be better, as ethanol depletes electrolytes (and causes dehydration, by suppressing production of anti-diuretic hormone, hence the escessive peeing). b vitamins would be helpful as well, as would any water soluble vitamins, since these are also depleted by the....you guessed it: pissing.
