This is truly impressive.

http://gawker.com/who-drives-the-alcohol-industry-alcoholics-1639454291

Quote:
The top 10 percent of American drinkers - 24 million adults over age 18 - consume, on average, 74 alcoholic drinks per week... Or, if you prefer, 10 drinks per day.


That is a lot of runs to the bathroom.

I'm drunk once every weekend on average. I don't think I even come close to 74 drinks in a month. Thats insane :lol:

This should be a shoutout for the team who helps half those people stay awake all day.

These are your full blown, yet functioning, alcholics.

My dickhead of a grandpa probably did 10 a day. He was often passed out at his desk by late afternoon, but he'd rally for a few drinks at home!

That's my guess. Every old drunk I know of lived forever. Pussification of America nowadays...

Yup. When they stop drinking is when they get sick.

Outlived my clean living grandma by 3 years (although he sat next to her in a den with no ventilation for 50 years smoking)

If you go out every Friday and Saturday that is not too hard to do. Throw in Sunday football or Summer Softball and its really easy if you like to drink.

This will sound weird, but it disgusts me that someone can drink that much beer. Liquor I could easily do (though I wouldn't), but drinking that much beer would make me vomit early and often.

74

Yeah, in my younger days, I would agree with you. 9 or 10 on any given Fri or Sat night, gets you to that number . Throw in an old school nickel beer night, and its over!

These days........Nah

It's not hard to have 24 drinks for 3 straight days?

Yeah, looked like drinking beer was one of his few skills in life.

74 a week is full-blown alcoholic drinking every day.

It's really something how these guys that hit it hard everyday can rally when necessary. I had a business partner who would put away at least a bottle and a half of Merlot at lunch everyday. One day we had an important conference call in the afternoon. I went into his office and he was sleeping. I said, "Hey, you know we've got that thing..." He slurred, "Yeah, just put the file on my desk and gimme another ten minutes." I swear after that ten minutes he spun his chair around and he was as fresh as a daisy. He blew those motherfuckers away in that call. Just unbelievable.

Oh, thought it was 74 in a month.

Yeah 74 in a week, even in Vegas with someone bringing you the drinks for free, would be tough.

You guys are breaking this down like the 10% (sounds high to me, maybe low in some regions) are drinking all 74 after work and on weekends or something, which they are not.

Yeah, I think they start in the morning and go until they pass out. In that circumstance, 74 in a week is easy.
