Mike's Hard Lemonade has a 5.2% alcohol content. There are 11.2 ounces in a can, so 11.2 x 12 cans = 136.4 ounces. 136.4 ozs. x 5.2% = 6.82 ozs. alcohol.

Total alcohol consumed: 3.99 + 6.82 = 10.81 ozs. About 7 mixed drinks. Meh.
By your math, you are saying that each drink has the equivalent of a shot and half of Everclear per drink. Actually a little more because it's not quite pure. Good luck with drinking 7 of those.

An oz and a half of 40 proof alcohol is considered a typical mixed drink. The tequilla alone counts as over 10 drinks.

Though by your math as well, the 12pk pretty much isn't drinking. When he gets arrested you make the case that a 12pk of beer isn't drinking.

You are a pussie for not finishing the tequila and eating the worm.



But for a weeknight, that's quite an intake you undertook.

I used to be a semi pro drinker when I was a Marine. Once I had a wisdom tooth pulled and they gave me percoset, I took one of those and drank a fifth of Segrams 7 and didnt die. I figured I wouldnt get any better than that so I stopped trying to drink the whole world. felt just fine when I woke up the next morning too. Aside from the scabs on my cheek and my swollen eye. Apparently I fell down, my GF was really pissed too.

Next time you enjoy that Mike's, pour them into a glass and add a shot / shot & a half of this and thank me later:



Damn refreshing, and you don't even realize it's alcohol.

After the last month, with the house flooding, family members being complete dumbasses on a level I've never seen before, friends being diagnosed with cancer, etc., my wife and I are considering taking up drinking as a full time occupation. There's only so much more we can take at this point.
