So, let’s call that a 12 pack a day in like 8 hours, given your estimated rate of 1.5/hour. Plus tea or water during the day before that. How do you have time to do anything besides drink, piss, and buy more beer? I’d like to think I get close to 128oz of water a day, and that’s usually all I drink for the whole day. I couldn’t imagine putting away 144oz of liquid in 8 hours.
Comment on people who drink, how long do your hangovers last?

I drink 10-15 Keystones a day, no hangovers. BUT, those are spread out over the late afternoon and evening, averages maybe 1.5/hour?
Can’t drink a drop without food in me, not a drop, it’s just gross feeling.
I sleep long enough and drink unsweet tea and water all day, almost zero coke or anything else.
Can’t touch wine or anything stronger, just can’t, gets me hammered fast, leaves me feeling like crap.

You buy a couple full cases of beer at a time, for starters. 72 (or more) beers might last a few days.
Keystone is basically just a water-beer and chain drinking those is fairly easy since cheap lager is shit once it gets warm. There is motivation to drink, is what I am saying.
But yeah, his numbers are about average for most “serious” beer drinkers I know. TBH, I am surprised that you are surprised. However, I didn’t grow up in a very healthy environment and norms are just a matter of perception.

My surprise is more at the quantity and rate of fluid intake than 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.)

I don’t want to be that guy, but that sounds neither healthy nor very economical.
