I keep hearing that americans get wasted really easily. So just out of interest, i wana know if its true.

so, what is the alcohol volume of an average beer in america. Here being about 4.5%

and how many pints does it take to get you wasted? For me and the people i know, about 15 for being completely wasted, and about 10ish for being relatively drunk.

Troll.

Troll.

is this a "theres no way they can drink 15 pints" troll or a "15 pints and he thinks americans get wasted easily?" troll.

First, GTFO.

well i personally never really drink that much, but i do always have about 10 pints when i go out to a bar.

how many gets you wasted?

I am pretty sure nationality has NOTHING to do with each persons alcohol tolerance.

why didnt u answer my questions...

this thread is supposed to be for finding out if that is true or not. ffs

10 pints is a gallon and a quart or almost 5 liters.

so?

.... how many pints gets you wasted?

The question is how big is your stomach.

I dont think it is, cus if it was, wouldnt it be a struggle to get past like 3 pints? actually i dont know exactly how big a stomach usually is.

and why is no-one answering the questions? or saying how many beers gets them wasted?

Not american, but the beer in my hand is 4.9%. I'll probably drink 12-15 and be fairly drunk. But I'm small and haven't eaten much all day. Usually it'd take a few more.

Budweiser is 4.3% abv.

It takes about 3 to get me stimbling about and giggling. If I' drinking to get wasted i go for hard alcohols.

Then again I'm 17 and don't drink often.

EDIT:I am an american.

If I drink a box of 12 5.2% 335mL beers I'll be quite drunk.
Not completely gone, but I'd be describing myself as drunk.

At a bar, pints are what? About 500mL and they're usually 4.0%.. Usually after about 7 of them I'd be laughing and loud, and after 10 I'd be wasted.

I'm not American either, New Zealand, eighteen, very occassional drinker

Canadian 6-7%
Our beer is shit though

It takes me about 15-18 bud lights to get drunk but my stomach isn't big enough to handle anymore than that. I'f I'm trying to get belligerent I'll drink a liter of vodka over a long night. I'm about 6'1 180lb right now and I know some 5'1 110lb girls that can face a liter of vodka in a night.

Obviously can drink way more if I'm tripping on acid, sniffing coke, or taking dexamphetamine.

We have all sorts of beer in America... I've seen from 3.5% to 12.9%, and I'd say something like 4.5%-6% is fairly normal. I don't like beer, but when I drink I drink 80 proof vodka, and it usually takes about 8 1.5 ounce shots to get me 'drunk', and then I usually just keep drinking until I pass out. I'm not really a very responsible drinker, lol. I could see your question making sense if you were asking about just about any other country where most people share similar genetics, but America is supposed to be a 'melting pot' as it were, and there are people with ancestry from all over the world living here, so I don't think the question that you're asking has the sort of answer that you're looking for...

Realistically, if you drink a lot and very often, the higher your tolerance and the longer it takes you to get smashed.

So based on this....wouldn't this be a basic indication of the average person's drinking capabilities? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_consumption_by_country)

I have a huge tolerance to most substances [except for caffeine, which I am extremely sensitive to for some reason. 1 cup of strong coffee makes me all jittery and anxious. Go figure]. When I go to the bar I order 7-7's, double strength and it takes about 4 of them to get a buzz going.

When I am drinking at home I'll usually get a fifth of what ever I am drinking - usually cheap vodka or Seagram's 7 - and I'll finish the bottle and that'll leave me pretty drunk. But not fall down, slurring my words and such, drunk.

And this is on top of the morphine I take. If not for that I'm sure I could drink a lot more than I do anyhow. I don't drink that often these days though [past month being an exception]. Probably good for my liver that I don't. I already came close to dying from frying my liver twice now, I don't need anymore close calls.

your about the same as me then, me being 17 and fairly occasional drinker.

well anyway it seems to be true that americans get drunk pretty easily.

meta is officially superhuman

im 19, 5'9, 115 lbs
i drink 3-5 times a year and it takes about 3 shots to get a buzz going and 5-6 to pass out. 80 proof alc.

thats not the question at all, moron.

and in answer, im english and i would say about 10 - 15 pints sounds about right, but i usually have less and more spirits instead.

im 19, 5'9, 115 lbs

interesting....im 17, 5'8, 185lbs.... i can safely say that it is not fat though. not all anyway :) but as a result it does take quite a while to get hammered. minus side - getting drunk is expensive, plus side - well, yeah.

i get drunk off power.
