I don't drink anymore but when I did I became a real a**hole so it definately hurt my social life. As for how much I could drink, I'm not really sure because I was a blackout drinker. My favorite was beer and double shots of bourbon. I know I would regularly spend 6 or more hours at the bar daily (depending on any chemical help i had)I heard stories from people I knew about things I did but have no real 1st hand memory of doing them.. I just got tired of waking up in jail cells and people's lawns so I stopped.
