This is an honesty question, not for bragging rights....

I live in a mining town and grew up amongst hard drinkers....

Times have changed and most hard drinkers have died or moved on...

On average around the Saturday Braai Fire, how much dop would you consume?

I will consume 17 x 440ml cans of WHK draught.....

Now many visitors to our mining town, take a 2nd look at this.... but there are dutchmen here that don't think twice about knocking back 4 or 5 340ml beers for a starter, then a bottle of brandy with a smattering of shorts, let's make that four shorts to be fair....

So in all honesty, how much do you consume around the braai on Saturday Afternoon?

:whistle:
 
I had the honour to stay one night in Dingleton related to business matters. Personally that night I consumed the most alcohol probably ever, braaing with a coloured group called Warriors, was a good experience though. Mining Towns only seems to be work and dop. This town is soon to be demolished making place to expand the mine everyone moving to Kathu.
 
It's flippin hot in Namibia, they drink beer like water there.
 
Depends sometimes a 6 pack or 12 beers and then we go out to the local pub till the sunrises(well when I am with my friends who live up the road from the pub so we can walk back).
 
I drink like 2 beers and already well on the way to getting drunk. By 6 I would be pretty finished. Also depends on the spacing.

Suits me as I don't have to spend a lot :D

:eek: :wtf:

A six pack and maybe one or two more if it's a long time, and that's castle lite or hansa 330ml bottles.

Edit: How old are you just for the record. Thinking back to our youth we could drink a whole lot more without falling over and no hangovers the next day.

+-4 beers 500ml (home brewed) and then perhaps a couple of glasses of wine with the food.
 
I had to give up homebrewing, left my lawn looking like a battlefield and head office was'nt impressed to see my mates sprawled over shrubs..... Oh! And the gout was a bitch....
 
Ex-colleague of mine did a 2 year contract in Windhoek. Ir almost killed his liver, if that's possible. Apparently he almost OD'd on Jägermeister.
The Jagermeister is fine,as long as you only consume it with only Whk draught.... And not more than four an evening, I find that if I have more than five, i usually have to leave the country until head office has calmed down....
