I personally query whether Mr Scoff could get to 8-9 pints as I would only attempt this if

Actually I couldn't - I don't much like beers and ciders are too sweet to drink in bulk. More of a lager drinker, me. (There goes any credibility I may have had with GT, who is clearly a real ale nut.)

However, back in my student days I would think nothing of consuming 9 pints of Stella, a few whiskey chasers and a large doner with chilli sauce on a Tuesday evening. And most Fridays. And sometimes on Saturdays, too. The rest of the week we'd stay in and drink=-)

When I stop to think about it, there is a gap of about a year in my memory, which coincides almost perfectly with my second year of uni. Needless to say I failed my degree.


Worth it though

Me? a real ale nut? are you trying to insinuate that I am some bearded stout chap with poor personal hygiene??

Seriously, I drink anything. I like real ale and decent beer generally but living in Manchester, I end up drinking Stella Artois, Kronenbourg 1664 and Tennants Export

Surely you didn't fail your degree just by going out 3 nights a week?

Wardad, 3 more names for you

(Sorry for OT Wardad)

GT: No, it wasn't the 3 nights a week going out and drinking, it was the 4 nights staying in and drinking that screwed my studying. It got to the point where I was practically nocturnal, drinking, watching TV and playing computer games on my Amiga all night, and being awake during the day just long enough to cook a curry, eat it, watch childrens' TV and get more beer in for the evening. Lectures weren't even a consideration. In my final year I probably attended less than a dozen hours' worth of lectures.

I got a good job now though where I use the skills I would have been qualified in, so I don't think it's damaged my career too much. Besides, it _was_ fun=-)

(Wardad apologies for the OT but I will try and come up with a further dozen or so exotically named English ales for your collection by way of compensation)

Bad joss there El Scoffo but I am pleased to see that you didn't go the way of a lot of uni-drop outs and end up in the subway singing or 'would you like fries with that?' industries
