Last year i was going 10-15 beers a night with a couple days in the week where i wouldnt drink.  That was mostly out of boredom though.  The tolerance you build up really creeps up on you.

For the CFB championship my wifecwas out of town and i went to the bar for the first time in 6 months.  Thought id just pick uo where i left off...nope. i think i had 7 or 8 and a out passed out on the uber ride home.
