but then I came across Shoenice on youtube. He has chugged entire bottles of just about every alcohol...of all proofs. He literally makes Ben's alcohol consumption seem tame. Here's a couple links:

Looks impressive, but it isn't that much alcohol for a real alcoholic. He pounds a fifth, which is about 17 drinks. Add to that, it wiped him out. Ben slammed a pint (about half of a fifth) on screen, but he did take two fifths of vodka into the shower with him and are led to believe he drank both before he dried off. That was just to get his day started. Ben typically drinks all day.

To pound a whole bottle of 190 proof alcohol in a couple minutes is a lot for even a "real" alcoholic. But if combining all that Ben drank all day, he would probably smoke Shoenice. Good thing Ben is only a fictional character!
shareThere are a couple guys on youtube chugging whole bottles of everclear. Man, I have a hard time believing they are real. Maybe they aren't altered videos, but, I is a real alcoholic and I have spent a lot of time around other real alcoholics and I have never heard of anyone actually doing that. Even at the height of my drinking when my tolerance was highest, that would have killed me.

Charles Bukowski and Oliver Reed were as big drunkers I think.
