I don't care why people "downvoted" your post before the edit but I did it because of the edit.
Edgy. I like it.

And I've seen people like that in parties. Several times in my life, it resulted with ER visit. Said people are younger than me and already look drunk even when sober, while others who enjoy the occosional beer after work are fine their entire lives.
Did not realize how much lemmy defends alcohol, and I'm from East Europe where I've seen more than you'll ever read online.
This isn't about "defending" anything. Alcohol is a dangerous substance. And most people here know that.
That said your level of fear mongering is extreme to say the least. You sound like someone telling everyone not to go within 1km of an ankle deep pond because they'll drown.
While possible in both cases to get permanent brain damage or drown. It is extremely unlikely on a winning a large lotto level.
Almost all people will pass out or start throwing up, long before they get near that level. Especially if they are not already an alcoholic with huge tolerance.
Source: 20 year hard core binge drinking alcoholic (20-30 drinks a day or more). That has been in the hospital 6 times for withdraw myself. And in rehab multiple times with large groups of other extreme alcoholics...
Edit: I strongly suspect most (if not all) those you thought had that condition were actually under the influence. Daily drinking alcoholics are extremely good at both hiding it ( oh I have to go to the bathroom) and lying about. They will tell you straight to your face they haven't had a drink in weeks after you just caught them drinking a beer.

0.33 in Nordics. Then also 0.4, common bar serving, and 0.5l can and full pint, 0.568l cans.
But "a beer" in the Nordics would generally be 0.33 from a can and 0.4l from a tap
Which is why I said give or take

Yup. It is indeed. I just wanted to add info.
Sometimes I seem sodas in 0.355 cans, mostly red bull. Somewhat uncommon size here imo, and I'm just wondering where theyre used. 0.355 seems like a US size, but the bottles I got from Germany were mostly 0.33l aa well. Although the cans were like 0.6l
Just wondering how prevalent and mismatched the standards are

I remember watching the X-files sometimes in the noughties and Mulder came up with a deduction; "it must've been two men...nobody drinks two six-packs alone" and I just cracked up.
12-pack was like a medium for the night, 24 a heavier. Plus bars usually. (Finn here.)
Also, alcoholics are real. My dad used to go through a 24 a day just to maintain. The liquor on top of that was to actually feel intoxicated.

I just don't feel like a real man if I don't have my 125 daily lagers. I would surmise astronauts are the same. Maybe that's why nothing gets done up there,... they're being rationed !
You'd think that but due to reduced gravity in LOE it takes more beer to feel like a man. You can calculate the number of beers required by taking the number of beers at sea level times the distance from sea level in kilometers.

Yeah tbh, most people didn't finish their beers, so only drank like 80% of a can they were everywhere, and usually people bum one or two.
And unless we were at some festival, people wouldn't have time to destroy 24 + bar drinks.
But cruise ships? Three days of innumerable drinks of all sorts.
I kinda miss that though. The adventure and friends, not drinking that much.

Alcoholic cerebellar degeneration is caused by chronic consumption.
If you aren't alcoholic already, and unless you have some very specific condition, the body will start getting rid of alcohol way quicker than you will be consuming it, through any means necessary.
Drinking a lot is still dangerous, but mostly due to drunken behaviour.
You're indeed right that drugs should be consumed responsibly, and alcohol is poison, but it's also not that dangerous, unless it's an addiction.the body will start getting rid of alcohol way quicker than you will be consuming it, through any means necessary.
This shit is getting upvoted while I'm getting downvoted? Tell this to any medical professional and they will look at you the same way I look at flat earthers. Alcohol metabolism is capped, while your ability to consume it isn't nearly as capped as your body's ability to deal with it. That "by any means necessary" makes it far worse. Those who know, will know.
Another side note - tolerance /= faster metabolism.

20 beers
There's no volume stated here... is 1 beer a pint, 0.5 liters,, small bottle/can of .33 liters, 2 liter bottle.
If it's the the small bottle it's not that much
Where can you get beer by the 2 liter?

37! my girlfriend sucked 37 dicks!
Amazing, did you beat her? Did you win?

Instructions unclear, your girlfriend now has (37! - 37) dicks remaining to suck.

NASA, with the tampons.
If he's my friend, I'd tell him to pick up the beer on the way over. Let him deal with it.

You start with 100 bottles of beer on the wall...

Procurement for business/government/military (including and especially NASA), is very different than what you would see on a shelf at your local drug store.
The drug store can't buy a single box of tampons. They have to get an entire case of boxes of tampons. If each box is say, 20 tampons, and there's more than 5 of those per case, then they're buying at least 100 tampons so they can get a single box of them.
There's a lot of alternatives they could have looked into, like neighboring government institutions which may already stock them, asking them to supply a smaller quantity than they would have needed to order, or ordering outside of their typical channels and sending the intern down the road to buy a box from the nearest pharmacy... Those things wouldn't really get accounted for in their budgeting though... So they would prefer to order through their normal distribution.
It's a funny comment to make to Ride, "is 100 enough?" And I'm sure everyone had a good chuckle.
Regardless they probably didn't see another good option for ordering other than to just buy a case of them and figure out the rest later.
Don't agencies have some kind of de minimis threshold for just running out to the store and buying basic stuff? I thought that's why the DOGE freeze of government credit cards a few months ago was causing labs to cancel experiments and employees paying out of pocket to feed horses and working dogs.
So the military does have a strict procurement process for rocket fuel, but they generally refuel their civilian vehicles (vans and such) with a government credit card at normal gas stations.
At least that's how I understand it.

- You are not much fun. 2. You have never been to a good party. 3. Humanity owes its existence to alcohol. Beer and wine were the only safe drinks before water purification.
Alcohol also creates reproduction.
You also will vomit when too much alcohol is consumed. Even if you are passed out.
