    That’s a 700 ml bottle of 89.9% alcohol. Alcohol is 9 cal/gram (similar energy density to fat) and around 0.78 g/ml making the right close to triple the fried food and beer in calories (~4400)

      At first I thought “yeah but you’re not polishing that off in a weekend” but that’s basically the equivalent of 2 fifths of booze which isn’t really a ton for a alcoholic or a hard partying college kid

        2 fifths of liquor is absolutely ludicrous except for the absolute hardest of alcoholics.

        Not to mention that while the alcohol might be equivalent, the more concentrated alcohol gets the harder it works on your body. You’ll have a much worse night/morning if you drank 6 shots of whiskey instead of 6 beers.

          I know I associate with a few degenerates, but some of my heavy drinking friends could absolutely pound 2 fifths in a weekend. They’d be goddammed miserable on Monday but honestly that’s par for the course. One of my buddies in college used to put away a case of beer over a weekend which is 30 beers, not much less than 2 fifths which is about 35 drinks

          I suppose it depends on how one defines the weekend. If you start the weekend on Friday night then it’s way more reasonable, say 8-10 on Friday, 12 on Sat/Sun is an intense weekend in Vegas. But if you drink 1.5 drinks per hour for 12 hours on Saturday/Sunday that’s 36 drinks. Which I don’t think is crazy for either a hard partying college kid or an alcholic

            This reads like ”thats not a crazy amount of alcohol to consume for someone who consumes a crazy amount of alcohol"

              Correct. 60% of the alcohol consumed in America is drunk by 10% of the population. Honestly most people fall into 1 of 2 categories: non/light drinkers, and heavy drinkers. For heavy drinkers this is not crazy and I don’t think a light drinker is purchasing 90% abv absinthe

              A fifth used to be a fifth of a gallon. Stupidly as the world became more globalized bottle sizes followed and so the bottles we still call a fifth are actually 750ml. What’s worse is that the next unit up is a handle which is 1.75 liters! So it doesn’t even follow mathematically

    A bottle of absinthe is not 300 calories. That’s like three shots…

      I’m afraid the dietician was pretty deep into the bottle when they did the math.

      Absinthe is ~82 calories per fluid ounce and a 70CL bottle is 23 fluid ounces so an entire 70CL bottle is about 1900 calories.

    Can’t argue with that logic. How many anime mods do we run?

      The drinking is for when you have to make the mods work together without the game dying a slow horrible death, followed by a rather quick also horrible death

    And here I thought I had a clever mix of Skyrim + a bottle of red for 625 calories, but damn. Those are some rookie numbers! 😱🙇🏽‍♂️
