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 !!

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. 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.

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

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.

Wow, I might want to think about bumping up the "Immature Thread."

... 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. ... 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 ( ) on the fact it does seem that a quart or more comes out after only a pint or so goes in.

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

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?

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

Can that water have barley and hops in it?

[Jack]

I don't drink.
