When I was young and stupid, in a single session, I have drunk as much as either a case of beer, a fifth of liquor, or 3 bottles of wine. Since I lived long enough to get older, I have also gotten smarter.
I think the all-time single evening personal record for myself and a naval aviator friend, along with our wives (of of whom one stayed straight enough to be the designated driver), was a 750 ml bottle of Wild Turkey, half a bottle of Booker's, a four pack of Guinness pints, two bottles of white, and a bottle of red, along with a few shots of Bailey's in the coffee and whatnot along the way.
The next morning, I got up early to check on the kids (still a little loopy), but the wife (who drank almost nothing but wine) was paralyzed till well into the afternoon, and she was violently ill then.
She could not believe the amount the aviator and I consumed seemingly without ill-effect.
That much was when I was in drinking shape and would probably kill me now.
