My surprise is more at the quantity and rate of fluid intake regardless of the choice of beverage. But I don’t really spend my time around people that drink alcohol much (or people in general) so maybe I shouldn’t be surprised.
My average intake on a slow evening was a 9 or 15 pack of Coors pint cans, so 144oz or 240oz.
These days, I stick to water. However, you probably have never seen someone who can consume as much as I can, casually. I’ll drink two pints of water at the refrigerator when I go for a glass, then fill that again and go back to doing whatever I was doing. (I won a ton of beer drinking bets. A pint of whatever is easily drank at between 3 and 5 seconds. My ability to consume any beverages is basically superhuman and likely a contributing factor to my brush with alcholisim.)
