h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I was thinking this yesterday. I've had a cr*p week. I thought to myself ' if i get a bottle from the offy I could be drunk in half hour'.

When I was younger we all used to drink to get drunk as quickly as possible, but as I've matured, like most people, I take it slow.

So what's the quickest time you've got drunk in, and does anyone know the fastest time physically possible?

My quickest is probably about half an hour too..years ago though.It takes quite a bit more now.

I've no idea what the quickest possible is though.

the quickest for me is about 10 mins, no food for 12 hrs, stressful shift and a 440ml can of bourbon and coke, skulled with great relish at 4am, was quite by the time I had had a ==~

you're so ladylike Helly

I had a party a few years ago and made a couple of alcofrolic jellies...vodka & orange and gin & lime. I had paced myself and not drunk anything sstronger than cola (ever the gracious hostess) until about 10pm when I bought out the jellies, 2 spoons and got everyone in the room to sit in a large circle. The game was to pass the bowls, one clockwise and one anti-clockwise, taking a spoonful of jelly as you went. Bets were placed which jelly would be finished first! It took just over 2 minutes to finish and when I tried to stand up I couldn't! How's that for quick!

Mmm... alchoholic jelly. Excellent work ma'am. And nice tree, if i may be so bold.

Not entirely sure of the quickest i've ever got drunk, but i *do* remember the illest i've ever been.
The place?
Our student house party in second year.
The occasion?
...since when do students need an excuse for a party?
The cause?
Home made Baileys.

No, not a misprint.
I drank....

Home.

Made.

Baileys.

And for some reason was then surprised when i felt like death.
Fool.

When I lived in London me and my flatmate once split a bottle of Cuban rum before going to work, about seven minutes

Home made Bailey's isn't always bad. My other half's mother used to make very nice home made Bailey's.

I'm not saying it *tasted* bad, KerrAvon....Otherwise i probably would have stopped after half a bottle or so
I think the main problem was the raw eggs.

Are you REALLY supposed to put raw eggs in home made Baileys'? If so i will admit i have a kids'-belly in front of anyone who cares.
But my gut didn't think salmonella-in-a-cup was such a great idea.

(ning in direction of nearest bucket at the thought of it)

My mate's dad used to make his own beer. I asked him if it was any good. In his own words:

"It must be good, cos if you drink enough of it you go blind"

Is that because you got so drunk you could fall over and impale your eyes on the local church railings?
