How Many Dops at the Braai?

You swim 40min a day every day of the week, yet you still weigh a staggering 143kgs? :erm:
Try drinking less beer - that exercise might actually be worth something then.

I am a tall chap, left matric weighing 112kg, no fat on me back then...... My point being that if need to exert myself, like climbing sand dunes and I am with my peers, they are all beer consumers of note and of similar age, they tend to be puffing and panting climbing the dunes, whereas I can easily do it, with my four year old offspring on my shoulders and I am not lost for breath...... So I look portly and tall, but somehow , inside I am quite fit, Much to my younger brothers annoyance, I don't suffer blood pressure problems or have high cholesterol, although I am on medication for gout, (an after effect from four years of homebrew)......

I don't drink much at a braai...I spill most of it!!

Generally the limiting factor for me is the legal driving limit. So when I'm out & about then generally not much. When at home playing online shooters then I drink quite a bit more.

On the whole I'm also a fairly tense person so a dop or two improve things like playing pool, FPS etc. Makes it easier to achieve flow.

OP's question - that would fall under the legal driving category. So generally I time the beers carefully to make sure that that I'm below the limit. Call it 2 - 4 beers if you insist on a number depending on length of event.

Mmmh! Considering that I am Scottish and head office was born in England, you might be onto something here.....
:twisted:

Next time she nags you, raise your Whk and say this speech in a Scottish accent:

"Fight and you may die. Run and you will live at least awhile. And dying in your bed many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for
one chance, just one chance, to come back here as young men and tell our enemies that they may take our lives but they will never take our freedom!"

eish, you guys are big doppers. I get conked with just 4 double shots of cane and water.

 

[DerpiesFreud]

Had 1 green bottle thingy,6 shots of vodka,quater glass of whiskey and I was barely drunk(no physical symptoms except reduced reaction time)
dont know if thats a lot.... I`m not into alcohol
ps I am not a big man(1.8/60kg)

 

[Mortymoose]

You've got a drinking problem then.

 

[DJ...]

Depends on who the braai is with and where.

If driving isn't an issue then it's pretty easy to polish off a bottle of whiskey and a few shooters. Or 12 beers...and a few shooters.

Personally, I find that under 6 beers is a stimulant and I struggle to sleep. I need the rest...

dunno the one with the advert where the chinas and chinas turn the desert into a tundra

Mainstay?

over what time frame? 4 double shots is just over a 1/3 bottle of hard tack. Do that in an hour or two and i think most people would feel a bit drunk.

 

[Shake&Bake]

How much?
Till its done and then a couple more trips to the smokkie to get some more.
My liver doesn't discriminate - though I'm not too heavy on the beers anymore.
Brandy and coke, shooters or whatever the heck is around.

 

[Aghori]

Erm... one after the other so probably 5 minutes or so. Hmm you do have a point there tho, maybe I should try spacing them out more. Nah I don't like Mainstay, I prefer Cape to Rio cane.

so a 1/3 of a bottle in 5 minutes. Quite a mystery as to why you get drunk then
