How many pints can you drink before you need the loo ?

My record is seven but I practise every night to try to better this !!

RORY

Are you talking Lager, Pilsner, Stout…etc? These are important considerations.

I would like to publicly thank my bladder for stopping me becoming a hopeless drunk. :smiley: After about two or two and a half pints it’s a trip to the gents every half, on the half.

Ooh, that reminds me, I’m playing at the Louth Beer Festival tonight. Whoop-de-do. :party:

BTW, why is it that for every pint that goes in a quart seems to come out? :confused:

Now there’s something I’ve never really put a lot of thought into.
Come to think of it, why would I. I’m much more concerned with
the important questions in life, like how much beer I need to consume
to write an entire limerick in three foot letters on a snow bank.

A feat which is always much more impressive if the limerick’s in your girlfriend’s handwriting.

One of my favorite old sayings is “You don’t buy beer, you rent it…”

Yes but I bet there is a correlation between your bladders increased capacity and liver’s decreased functioning. :frowning:

Wow, I might want to think about bumping up the “Immature Thread.” :wink: :laughing:
(Three, by the way)

… as age advances, the interval decreases …

I don’t have to worry. I don’t get to test it often, but I know that I’ll be heading to the loo before I bottom out the second of whatever the beverge is. :laughing: … earlier if it involves a cough, sneeze, or a good laugh.

It is hard for me to say, having Diabetes, being polyuric is a common thing… and it also means that downing pints is an activety I ought not to participate in… but I do so in moderation from time to time.

But I am with Master Barter ( :smiley: ) on the fact it does seem that a quart or more comes out after only a pint or so goes in. :laughing:

An odd anomaly, yes,… as is the fact that a pound of chocolates seems to leave at least two pounds of fat added to the body… interesting… and extrememly frustrating :imp:

That is because alcohol is a diuretic, meaning that it stimulates the kidneys to produce a larger quantity of dilute urine. Part of the cause of a hangover is the dehydration caused by alcohol. You can lessen the severity of a hangover if you drink a glass of water after every beer/wine/mixed drink you consume. But after a few who can remember to drink all that water? :laughing:

Just make sure you keep that extra ‘r’ in there young Joseph, then I won’t have to ask you to step outside. :laughing:

Can that water have barley and hops in it?

I don’t drink.

Hey Cran, I had no idea you were a Koala. :smiley:

… yessuh! :smiley: But around here, public wee wee is a no no. :smiley:

Due to my advancing age (only coming on 40, but it’s been a hard 40), I can only drink around 1.5 before needing to “See a man about a horse”. Unfortunately, also due to my age, when I get there, I often find that I can’t actually fufill the purpose of my visit.

Damned if I do, damned if I don’t… :devil:

Dear me you are in a bad way! and yet it will get worse, soon you’ll be half way to the John when you forget (due to your advanced age) where you were going, then you’ll return to sit back down and realise you need the loo.

If 40 is old age, I must be middle-aged.
