It's quite simple really.

Are you planning on a sensible night with a few tinnies? 4.

Are you wanting to get wankered but still make sense by lunchtime tomorrow? 14.

Are you wanting to get utterly trashed and wake up the morning after the morning after? 24.

Are you part of a suicide cult? Yeah go with 104, sure whatever.

I think it depends on the strength of the beers too. Are we drinking lagers or quads?

Get a 12 pack of beer and a medium sized nice liquor bottle as backup

It does. I'm in the UK so 90% of the lagers or beers are between 4 and 5%.

If you get on the Special Brew then going into double figures will probably ruin you the following day. That said, start hooning a couple of slabs of Carling C2 and you'll spend most of your time sobering up pissing in the bog/up the neighbours fence/in your mate's wardrobe in the middle of a dream.

At 27, i would have put down 12 light beers before dinner while on a trip with no real responsibilities.

It's valid

NASA once asked astronaut Sally Ride if 100 tampons would be enough for her week-long mission in space, but she later clarified that this number was excessive. While the engineers were concerned about potential needs, Ride humorously noted that a much smaller amount would suffice.

18 if there were responsibilities.

I don't need 100 beers but I would like 100 beers

A full 30 if I thought I might be inconvenienced in those responsibilities.

Plus like what if the mission lasts for a long time. If I plan on spending a week at a friend's house but end up being there for much longer it won't hurt to have more beers.

If we're using NASA as a reference Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore were in space for 286 days instead of a planned week long mission. I definitely would rather have 100 beers in that situation over 12 beers

But I would also like to wake up in the morning.

And here I thought I had a problem. Thanks guys. Feeling better now.

They did get resupplied with additional clothing and personal effects after a few weeks.

Coincidentally, there is no laundry or shower on the international space station.

True, but just in case, would still rather have the 100 beers. Plus if I know more beers are coming I can worry less about rationing the beers

I feel like informing women astronauts the current stock level of tampons on the ISS will come across as misogynistic, regardless of how factual and procedural the conveyance of information would be.

I feel like the women of the iss team should be the ones deciding on the policies regarding this.
