How many rum and cokes is too many? Be honest, now

[TK421]

[NMDemDist2]

1. none for me thanks, I need to be home by 4th of July

:rofl:

[NightWatcher]

2. 5 is too many, but I'm an alcoholic

Anyone here ever done the "Duval crawl"?

[TK421]

6. The Robert Duval crawl?

:shrug: What is it?

[NightWatcher]

8. Duval Street in Key West

the Duval Crawl is when one drinks their way up and down the street stopping at such watering holes as The Bull, Hog's Breath Saloon, Margaritaville, Sloopy Joes, etc, etc, etc.......

It is very fun to partake right before sunset in Key West.

[TK421]

10. What I wouldn't do to be there now....the house is empty, and I'm bored silly

:banghead:

[realisticphish]

3. 5-6

but I'm a big guy, and I rarely drink one kind of mixed drink. Whiskey Sour, 7 & 7, Rum and Coke, Gin and Tonic, then a beer or two that's my usual pattern when I want to get fairly drunk :D

[TK421]

5. Gin and tonic is my usual drink of choice, alas...there is no gin to be found here

or tonic water, for that matter

[realisticphish]

12. I have whiskey

(my brand, Seagram's), but alas, no 7UP/Sprite/Anything to put it into :(

[TK421]

19. I will wish my half-empty ( I'm pessimistic ) bottle of Sprite your way if you

wish your bottle of whiskey my way.....it's the thought that counts

[realisticphish]

22. if you live in Columbus, OH

we can make a deal :D

[TK421]

26. You are a bit west of me ( I'm in the Philly suburbs ) maybe some other time?

:toast:

[realisticphish]

41. when they invent

eBars, I'll never leave my house :D

:toast:

[bicentennial_baby]

4. One, b/c they are disgusting...

:puke:

[TK421]

7. Normally, I can't stomach rum, but at the moment it's the only thing to drink

in the house....besides Coke, that is :D

[bicentennial_baby]

11. I'd stick with just Coke...

I can't drink rum, in anything. I used to drink it 24-7, which was a problem (10-11 years ago). Ever since I stopped drinking it, I can't go near it again. The smell makes me sick.

[TK421]

14. I very rarely drink the hard stuff....I'm pretty much a beer guy

but today it's what I got, and I don't have to be anywhere until 2:00 tomorrow. Plus, I'm bored :-(

[bicentennial_baby]

18. Oh, I don't blame you!

I'm doing the 3 day weekend thing myself, just with Bloody Marys and Beer later :)

Enjoy! :toast:

[TK421]

23. I LOVE a good Bloody Mary, but I have to be in the right mood for it

and mainly I drink them in the winter months ( because where I get them, they serve them pretty spicy ). I can't really handle something like that when it feels like 95 degrees out there ( MY GOD, I hate the summer).

[NMDemDist2]

9. I have a guy at the bar who started drinking Cherry Brandy and coke

claims it tastes just like Cherry coke, only better :rofl:

[TK421]

13. Oh boy....are you a bartender by chance?

If you are, he may need to get flagged fairly soon. I've known a couple of people who can't hold the brandy very well ( one of those things, just like whiskey, which I never touch ).

[NMDemDist2]

16. yes I am. flavored brandies aren't as high a proof as regular liquor

he's got a pretty high tolerance for booze as it is, I was glad to see him switch to a lower proof

and we have 5 bottles of the chit to get rid of, so I'm all for it :rofl:

[TK421]

25. Send him on his way, then....I know of a certain ruffian in the neighborhood who

transforms into a total asshole when he drinks the stuff ( although, I think he prefers blackberry brandy...Jacquins, I think ).

[NMDemDist2]

31. it's a private club where I work and he's done fine so far

:shrug:

a private club makes it a bit tougher to 'send him on his way'

[TK421]

46. Did you ever do a Yager-bomb?

A pint glass with 1/3 Yagermeister ( sp? ) and the rest of it is Guinness draft. It tastes like a sweet-tart ( really ) but they are addictive as hell. The next day, I found out that one of the bartenders was giving me tongue and I didn't remember a DAMN THING. Scary shit, that stuff

[AlCzervik]

15. i had a very bad experience with rum and coke many years ago, i can't drink rum anymore.

[bicentennial_baby]

24. I had a similar defining experience...

It involved a trash barrel (with bag) full of Long Island Iced Tea, stirred by broomstick, at a frat house. :crazy: I was 19 though, so...

:shrug:

No rum for me after that...

[AlCzervik]

27. Oh boy! I think i was around the same age and we were dumping the rum directly

in the 2 liter coke bottles and using crazy straws, this was at hampton Beach, lordy i never threw up so much in my life with the exception of a really unfortunate episode involving peppermint schnapps.

[bicentennial_baby]

33. Exactly...epic vomiting!

:pals:

[TK421]

44. Peppermint schnapps is the absolute worst thing to bring out of your system

Been there....not pleasant at ALL

[Joey Liberal]

50. OMG - Schnapps

Been there and done that. Almost drank myself to death with Schnapps. I can't bear to even smell the stuff now:)............

[AlCzervik]

52. bad, bad stuff. When we were in High school we used to go to the annual

Medford Ma. Vs. Malden Ma football game, it's an old rivarly made much uglier by drunken fans with their thermos's full of hot chocalate and Schnapps.

[TK421]

54. One word says it all....Rumpleminz (sp?)

three shots of that stuff and I was dancing around like a lunatic

[TK421]

45. I had my run with Long Island iced tea, and it was not a pretty sight

a drink with just about every hard liquor in it to kick off the night......no thank you. I got a good idea what my insides look like one night after that shit :puke:

[TK421]

29. Funny you should say that, because I swore the stuff off long ago

I got out of control in an after-work party and my one roommate carried me home. I was completely trashed. There were things I said and did that I didn't remember, so that disturbed me quite a bit. I NEVER get wasted....only on a few select occasions....however, I think I've learned what my limit is. Trust me...I'm on rum and coke number 6 right now, and I probably should get to bed; I haven't been on DU for a long time...so I guess I'm missing it right now.

[WildEyedLiberal]

61. Ditto.

Even thinking about the smell of Captain Morgan makes me feel queasy.

[Adsos Letter]

17. When you end up doing the , um...mattress mambo...

at 10:30 pm, with your soon-to-be-wife, under the lights on the sand at Manhatten Beach (with the public making comments as to technique, etc)...yeah, that was probably too much... I am reminded of it to this day, almost 30 years later. :blush:

[TK421]

30. On the sand at Manhattan beach.....must have been memorable

I, on the other hand have been in embarrassing situations between friends.....I don't mind admitting it, though; these things just happen

[Adsos Letter]

51. I think the cheering and kibitzing from the onlookers was memorable...vaguely...

[TK421]

53. At least you remember the cheering and kibitzing.....

I probably wouldn't remember that...when I drink that heavily

[AllegroRondo]

77. that was you?

great job. Im glad the cheering didnt spoil it for you.

:)

[Left Is Write]

20. Two is my max on Captain and coke. I usually nurse 'em for a while anyway.

[Elidor]

21. Three is my limit. Two is better

Maybe 4 on a Friday night, but I'm not into liquor hangovers.

With scotch and soda, I have to stop after two.

[TK421]

35. I just recently got into drinking scotch and soda....

It's an acquired taste....and I'm still getting used to it

[fizzgig]

28. you can never have too many

when i go out, i usually have four or five singles (provided i am not driving) before i hit that 'done' point

at home, well....i mix my drinks a lot stronger

just try to get some water in your system

[TK421]

32. Water IS key.....a tall glass of the stuff before going to bed

and yes...I will pop two Excedrin with it ( I swear, there is no better hangover remedy than this ). The next morning, I am fine

[taterguy]

34. One for each lap of the Coca-Cola 600

They're on lap 90 now, hope you're keeping up

[TK421]

36. I'm not even watching the laps.....I just see things going in circles

what are those things.....cars?

[Deja Q]

37. Note to everybody: I am a cheap date. More than 1 and I'm k0nkers.

:beer:

[TK421]

39. If I lived in Minnesota, perhaps you would be in luck

however, I'm not gay nor do I live in Minnesota....but I think you're a pretty cool guy anyway

By the way...I've since stopped drinking the rum since my roommate got home ( it's his ) so I'm playing it cool right now......NOBODY'S SEEN NOTHIN'!

[Reverend_Smitty]

38. Depends on how strong you make em!

although I prefer Jack and Coke if I'm drinking mixed stuff. I had two pretty stiff ones yesterday, at least 6 beers (that I remember drinking...lol) and 2 shots of Jager...I was a wee bit tipsy last night :P

[TK421]

40. Picture a pint glass with a third of rum....the rest Coke

That's what I've been drinking since.....I think 5:00 :shrug:

[Reverend_Smitty]

42. That'll set you up for a nice little evening

[TK421]

43. I'm done them now.....I will try to type straight now

:toast:

[Richard Steele]

47. How many does a fifth of rum make?

Of course, I have to mix them strong- not even I
can drink that much Coke.

[TK421]

55. The way I make them....about seven

if you are lucky

[Richard Steele]

59. Then my answer is....eight. nm

[mzteris]

48. right this minute?

No such thing as too many. Rum and arsenic anyone?

[TK421]

56. Hold the arsenic.......blech

:D

[Joey Liberal]

49. When all women look good and you want to brawl

That's usually a good hint that you've had enough rum & cokes for one night.

[TK421]

57. That has happened before, but not on rum and cokes

but on shots of Jamisons :o

[Joey Liberal]

66. Beer and Whiskey Sours always got me in trouble

Used to go out with the crew and drink 3 or 4 Bud Talls, then hit the bars for many more beers, followed by Whiskey Sours (damn do they taste good).

[TK421]

69. Whiskey sours go down easy, but the problem with them ( as with most sweet drinks )

is that they hit you like a ton of bricks in the morning...well, at least that is the effect they have on me

[Joey Liberal]

75. Oh yes, I had some world class hangovers

Glad I quit drinking:).................

[philosophie_en_rose]

58. It depends on the size of the glass.

More than a pint is probably too much for me. A pint or less is tolerable.

[Initech]

60. Rum / Coke is OK, I prefer it with Jack instead

And after about 5 or 6, the night could either go one way or the other, if you know what I mean!

[Eagle_Eye]

62. Zero is the right number for me, but back in my drinking days

Back when there was no such thing as ONE rum 'n coke, my friends and I would drink until somebody puked. Then we knew it was about time to stop.
If I was going to drive, two in the span of an hour would be right up on the limit.

[tyedyeto]

63. Are we talking regular rum or 151?

Regular would be 4-5 but only a couple if it's the good stuff.

[TK421]

68. Just regular Captain Morgans

I don't touch 151 ( VERY bad idea )

[hippiechick]

64. mmmmm ..... Malibu .....

Drooooool!!!!!

[TK421]

70. Malibu is good....I like Parrot Bay better, though

and I've found that these things have a tendency to sneak up on you like a thief in the night

[tjwmason]

65. Who's mixing them?

One TJ mixed drink works out at about 4 pub-mixed drinks...we need to have an objective level for comparison.

[av8rdave]

67. This poll reminds me of the words of an old friend of mine, a recovering alcoholic

He said, "I got to the point where one was too many and too many was never enough!"

[some guy]

71. one is too many

I don't like rum at all.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

72. This many:

[TK421]

74. Uh...yeah. Is that person dead?

:wow:

[Orsino]

73. I'll have to let you know. n/t

[SteppingRazor]

76. I try to stay away from double digits...

but, this is kind of a relative question. How quickly are you drinking these cocktails? How much elapsed time? What's your tolerance like? You gotta weigh these factors when deciding how many is too much.
