checking for pulse yep, still there… 40 is not old!
Caution: Mental outlook not withstanding.
If you are middle-aged, then I’m dead! 
Oddly, I can often get through a night of 5, 6 or 7 extra cold Guinnesses with just one bathroom visit (while at the pub).
On the other hand, a few glasses of juice or water or cups of tea will have me heading for the loo several times…
I know! We must be ghosts and we don’t know it.
true for many of us here at Ciff and Chipple…
Maybe that explains some of the posts, lately.
The problem here is clear. Your apparently frequent need to “bleed the lizard” is illusory. You’re merely drinking too slowly!

Now come along, Buddhu. My son lives in Hertford and I know that the pubs there don’t have bathrooms…

Busted… OK, ‘Bathroom’ = Herts euphemism for bush in the garden…
I decided to check this out at Louth Beer Festival last night. I think I went to the loo twice. Unfortunately I can’t remember how much I had to drink. I may have to run the whole experiment again tonight.
Excellent idea. Some long-lost friends want to meet us tonight in a pub which has inferior beer, whilst the pub next door has Doom Bar. Anyone who knows Bude will recognise the two next-door pubs in question! What am I to do?

In the interests of research I selflessly volunteer to conduct the experiment tonight and tomorrow night. Just as I did last night after a local intervillage cricket match.
Last night’s result was about 5 pints and one ‘Manhattan’ to one bathroom/bush visit. The Manhattan was at the insistence of a drunken member of the victorious team… In fact, it was this chap:
I’ll post tonight’s findings tomorrow.
I always found that if you put “draining the spuds” off for ages then you dont seem to need to go as often.
If you go during your first pint then you will develop T.B. (Tiny bladder)!
Well I’m back and it wasn’t so bad. The pub in question now has London Pride so I was OK. Three and a half pints before the flood-gates opened.
Steve
OK, last night the pub kept going after official hours, which caught me unawares…
About 8 pints of Guiness with bush breaks after numbers 3 and 7 (approximately). Bit of a thick head this morning…
No matter. Duty calls, so more research tonight. Not quite sure what any of this demonstrates, but I do like to contribute…
Understood old chap. Eight is impressive, but you do say “about” 8. Give or take how many would that be?
At our session I gave up on the free Guinness because (a) they started to have Doom Bar (damn fine ale), and (b) when it’s free, and it’s Guinness, you often end up with such an excessively large head (on the pint, ON THE PINT! Duh!) that, were you paying for it, you’d ask for a top-up. But it doesn’t seem right to ask for a top-up on a free pint. This is not a problem with Doom Bar. Full pint every time. Six pints really is six pints. My head tells me so.
BTW Buddhu, I couldn’t help noticing that your village cricket shield appeared to have been written in Tippex. Any explanation? 
Steve
I think 8 is about right. It’s a bit more than usual, so my accuracy is not guaranteed - but as I said, the extended evening was unexpected. I don’t usually drink that much.
As for the trophy, I am told that the reason it appears to be written in Tippex is that it IS written in Tippex. Our village is pretty much owned by a private estate, and the captain of our team (the estate manager) evidently fancies himself as an expert at Tippex caligraphy. There is a full-blown carpentry workshop on the estate… so goodness knows why the thing is so… odd. I think perhaps they were expecting the other team to win it!
