Last night a me and a few friends thought we would try the 8+ can challenge from http://www.arrysbrewsite.co.uk/. I can usually drink a fair bit of beer in a session, but after 4 cans I was hammered. I'm sure I could have got 5 or 6 cans down but I had work this morning so thought i'd better not attempt it. Needless to say, although I only had 4 cans I had a crazy hangover today, something which doesn't happen very often. This stuff really needs to be re-classified as a Class A drug. Either that or you must be at least 43 to drink it. Anyway, whats your special brew record?
I always thought that, on the whole, you had to be homeless to drink this stuff. Anyone go to Angel station in London with any regularity? Know the big aircon vents as you turn left? The tramps that hang ut there always drink this stuff. Maybe they're having their own appreciation session....
One of my flatmates lives of the stuff, personally I can't stand it...I call its tramps special myself Got through 3 cans of it and started to feel pretty pissed, I find it really horrible to drink. It makes you feel really full, like Guinness does to me
You get the same taste and effect pouring a double whisky into a pint of piss. This is Quality. First came across it as the free beer on the brewery trip.
Ahh i'll stick to Coors thanks very much. All the bums seem to drink it and to be honest i drink because i like the taste of it not because i get battered (although it can be fun). Still if you wanna get wasted its the right way to go EDIT: Ahhh cpemma has a fine taste in beer
sckoll is the cheepest nastiest stuff you can possibly find but it dosent get you pissed as there isnt that much alcohol in it. Wife beater (stella) on a different matter is like anger management gone bad for me, untill i drank it i couldnt relate to the name (Wife beater) but get pissed on that and itll turn evan normally placid, happy to be drunk into a football hooligan. ME i just stick to the Carling on a friday night for £1 a pint. £7 and i go home happy for the night
Special Brew = Treatcale. Its nearly as thick but it is a tramps drink, a good way to get wasted and forget your troubles for a while.
Hoegaarden grand crue, more like wine, i had 7 bottles, n died the morning after. their forbidden fruit is very nice to drink thou. http://www.silrubin.com/hoeg.htm
Special brew IS piss.... tramps piss with a little tesco value lager for colour. It's harsh stuff but if you're on a budget and need to get hammered as quickly as possible there's nothing better
Tenants Super is a worthy contender to the Brew.. good stuff if you like that sort of thing (i.e. are a wino).
i was thinking just the same as mrplow. tennents is cheaper and a tad stronger i think. it tastes terrible, but if you can stomach necking a couple of pint tins before heading out you know your evening is gonna be just that little bit better Spoiler worse at first i thought that 8 cans would be no trouble at all. but after thinking about it that's the equivalent of around about 12 pints of stella (super fast rounded up pseudo math, dont even bother correcting me) which isn't as easy as you may think. also, combine that with the fact that stella tastes rank anyway, and that special brew/super is twice as nasty and i think vomiting is definately on the cards. i'm tempted to try the 200 shots challenge myself (25ml shot every minute for 3hrs and 20mins!) might do that on a crappy stay in night like a thursday or next sunday
Pffft, 200 shots is dangerous by anyone's standards, whatever you're drinking. Double centurions (100 doubles) are even worse, obviously. However, the worst I've seen is someone downing a yard (nearly 3 pints) of a concoction that was about two thirds spirits, THEN a yard of guinness, THEN strawpedoing a magnum of champagne. If you don't know what a strawpedo is, you haven't lived, but still, i'll enlighten you - a straw is placed into the neck of a bottle of drink, and the end pointed downwards. The bottle is then tipped up to allow the precious booze to be imbibed very quickly, as air is allowed into the bottle as the liquid goes down. My best for a standard reef is 2.4 seconds, best i've seen is about 2. They are a lot of fun, and doing threeish at the start of a night is a good way to get going - It gets you nice and happy pretty much straight away, although doing 5 one after the other in about 30 seconds is definitely not recommended, I felt ill for about an hour after that... /tangent AH
strawpedoing a reef? ****ing amateur still reef can be necked in a couple of seconds without a straw. strawpedoing six bottles of gassy lager in quick succession (ie less than one minute for all six) is where it's at. you don't have timer to burp, if you mess up it froths all over the place, and if you're totally lame you end up spewing up froth as opposed to vomit. it's awesome, even as a spectator sport also, 200x25ml or 100x50ml shots is only 5 liters. i'm pretty sure consuming 5 liters of super strength cider (~7.5% vol) would be fairly easy (ok, not easy but certainly doable for a drinking challenge). special brew is about 9% iirc, so maybe the equivalent of two big 3l bottles of cider? Not that much tbh... (though £5.98 for the cider would be much cheaper, taste better, and make you more of an official alkie in my opinion )
Oh man, I love stella! (besides, you can act like Marlon Brando and yell it out loud) But, if I have a choice I go for Beamish Red
