Drinking 10 Duvels in 1 hr

gulebjorn · #1 10-16-2005, 07:15 AM

A friend of mine opened a bar a few months ago. Some guy wanted to prove to his friends that he could drink 10 duvels in one hour. (Duvel = 8.5 vol % alc, 33 cl).

He drank 8. Watch what happened after that. Video has been edited because the last 4 or so took too long.

My buddy now made a few newspapers because the video has like 50.000 downloads and counting...

Jesus, how big are those glasses? They look huge.

1/2L, if you fill it to the top. The beer is 0.33L.

I stopped watching when it looked like it was starting to come back out his nose. But anyone with half a brain wouldn't try and drink that much strong beer in an hour, that's insane.

How much is it, in units of alcohol? It doesn't sound like *that* much to me. 3.3 litres of 8.5% is like just over half a litre of vodka - which is yeah, a lot to drink in an hour, but I wouldn't say insane, I mean people quite frequently do that and don't throw up.

You might be right, all I know is that this type of beer (anything like Duvel, Chimay, etc) kicks my ass up and down the block whenever I drink it. Two large bottles of Chimay over a couple of hours makes me feel crappy the next day, and Duvel is stronger, so 10 in an hour would ruin me.

Drinking that much alcohol in vodka is orders of magnitude easier than in beer. I've never had one, but those things look pretty thick. Imagine trying to drink half a bottle of vodka is you had to mix it with a milkshake.

10 duvels in 1 hour = 17 "regular" 5% beers.
Or about 1 750 ml bottle of vodka.

The foam on that stuff is the real problem. Duvel bottles actually explode in the case, if you handle it too rough. I would estimate that 0.33L of Duvel could easily produce 1L of foam.

Also, do you call it foam? What is that stuff on top of the beer?
