Worst hangover
In essence it does.
My definition of 'pissed' (the bit I hate) is when I get all wobbly and slurred. If I act like a dick, I don't see myself as pissed, I see myself as acting like a dick.
After 12 or so beers, I'll get the wobbles. If I switch to Rum and coke (particularly Coruba), I get perkier and more focused.
I'm not saying I can get pissed, THEN drink rum all night, but a good half dozen after I'm pissed always fixes me up.
If it's just rum I'm drinking, I can drink it all night. Believe or not as you choose.

Could just be the caffeine in the coke making you feel more sober. http://www.abc.net.au/science/news/stor ... 602356.htm

Do I care? I've got no point to prove other than to make a point.ryan wrote:After that explanation that contradicts itself what can I do but....yes, you guessed it,....just smile and nod...smile and nod.
Different types of alcohol affect people in different ways. Vodka and rum fires me up for whatever the reason. Could be the fact that I mix Rum with Coke, who knows. I can sit on Cognacs all night without getting pissed either.
Wine smashes me. Beer - varies. Other spirits - floors me.
Then there's the issues of general tolerance - which also varies.
I'm surprised that you would feel the need to scrutinise my explanation so closely in an attempt to weed out any contradictions........

And I`m surprised that you`re surprised. But these rums you can drink all night without getting pissed, how many would we be talking about in a say.... 6 hour session?Danzar wrote:Do I care?

Could it be the bar staff are palming off sarsparilla after 3 or 4 rums? Don`t laugh, it`s just that I`ve never heard of anyone that could drink rum all night and look ok at the end.

Shit. Well, the biggest session was about 12 hours (until 7am). My girlfriend and I knocked off at least three half bottles which puts me at at least a bottle I reckon.
Also bear in mind that there are certain types of rum (some illegal in this country) that effect people like a stimulant, rather than the depressant alcohol is. Probably why it's illegal, given you're actually capable of doing something you shouldn't....
More recently was a bottle and whatever was left in another bottle of the OP rum between a friend and I. We were pissed, but still sharp. Ended up sniffing out some stormwater drains, grabbed a torch and crawled through the tunnels. A two hour trip from one side of Hornsby to another. Sun was coming up when we finished.
That's my point. I remain coherent, stable and awake but it doesn't preclude me from doing strange things.
Man, I was covered in mud and cobwebs and damn was my girlfriend angry.

Firstly, that article is more relating to energy drinks like Red Bull etc. with a higher caffeine level as well as other vitamins and chemicals.morgs wrote:Danzar wrote:In essence it does.

I would suggest that any positive effect from the caffeine in Coke would be overshadowed by the bigger problem both the caffeine and the sugar content create - dehydration. Not to mention the overtime (possibly double time on public holidays) that your liver is doing to process the caffeine as well as the alcohol...

At least with my regime, my liver only has to focus on two things - alcohol in the evening and caffeine in the morning - water in the afternoon. A bit like my brain when I think about it - works in the morning, does nothing in the afternoon and plays in the evening...

Jesus man. Here's a hypothetical for you. A complete stranger walks up to you in the street and says, hey pussy I'd love to see how you fare after a night on rum.ryan wrote:Danzar wrote:Shit.

Once you're over your initial 'shit, what point is this guy trying to prove' thing, you respond by telling said person that you can sit on a bottle of it.
Stranger then proceeds to grill you on said statement, epxressing nothing but disbelief and at the end of it all, tells you his Santa Claus and trots off.
Now, my question to you is, who's the bigger idiot? The person who answered the 'question' or the stranger who pitched the prospect in the first place but was never going to accept any other answer other than, yes, I am a pussy?
Suggest you dwell on that one over a bottle of good 'ole Coruba.
Looks like you've taken the term 'smile and nod' a little too literally.

A little story from Uncle Boonie,
I have seen some amazing sessions over the years from blokes you would expect to drop.
My old man and my uncle used to go to the club with me when I was 18 (55kgs wringing wet I was) and proceed to drink me under the table. I was normally out after 6-8 Schooners at that age and weight.
My Dad and Uncle proceeded to drink a minimum of 16 Toohey's New's each followed by a bottle of Scotch at home until they basically fell asleep in the chair. (2 pack of Winfield Reds between them too
)
This was not unusual for them especially over Xmas.
Therefore ryan, I do believe that Danzar could manage this, definately possible.
Cheers
Boonie

Who`s the biggest idiot? That would obviously be the one who spent 2 hours crawling through stormwater drains for something to do, wouldn`t it?Danzar wrote:Jesus man. Here's a hypothetical for you.

But there`s no need to get upset over some little thing-all right, you`re Australia`s greatest rum drinker.
