It's really absurd. I've known men who claim that they have drunk an entire box (i.e. about 24 bottles) of beer in a night. Others are already done after 2 bottles, or don't drink at all, or just don't like beer.
Conclusion, ASK.

I’ve been around men who have drank a whole crate of beer and more. Many of my friends. Cocaine was involved.
This depends on the person and the beer. Drinking a case of Miller light over a prolonged, maybe 8 hour period, is certainly possible. After all, 24 bottles is 8 liters of 95% water anyway, and 3 beers an hour. Light yellow beers are 100-150 calories each. Real people do this all the time. Sure, real people with a drinking problem, but still.
Drinking 24 heavy beers like porter, milk or Imperial stouts, or Belgian trappist beers would have so much sugar and higher ABV that it's very different and sounds like a disaster. Twice as many calories or more, and maybe 20-50% more alcohol.
I was an alcoholic years ago. I drink roughly twice a month these days, and rarely more than three. Quickly drinking six will get me drunk. That's good beer though.
In my prime, I could drink infinite light beer and never get drunk.

At my prime, depending on the beer, would go down like water. I could easily drink 10 coors light.
But hit me with 1-2 dark beers and I'm out (or extremely frisky)

It's great to be prepared... But I don't think you have to prepare a stash sufficient for an alcoholic.
For anybody new to this, perhaps assume 3-4 standard drinks/person, plus some factor to account for surprise extra guests, and then add a buffer of 20% or so of your good alcohol
Then it never hurts to have a 12 or 24 pack in the bottom of the fridge of something cheaper.
Lol that's pretty much what i figured as a calculation. Not that I ever have many guests but do a guess then add a case/flat .... Mean if was my beer I'd drink it time and not have less just in case.... More guests would require the cheap beer as a backup for sure.
Heh. 27, the very age I decided there was one drink I would never drink any more... the next one. (Went t-total.)
Ive been sober 6.5 years now and have never looked back. Good on you, im proud of you.

It is amazing to me that the Internet has taken a shine to that particular episode of TNG it's just so esoteric and yet generally people get the joke.
I mean don't get me wrong it was a good episode but in terms of the the entire series it was very mid.
It basically predicted the socio-communicative function of memes, so it tracks that it became a meme itself.

In reference to the Nasa part or the drinking beer part?
yes.
just don't get them mixed up
There’s a easy rule. Allow ~ 45 min per beer and think how long the meeting will last. Most will actually not drink that much, but it’s good to have spare ones.
45 minutes??? Is this some rest-of-the-world thing I’m too Balkan to understand?
Well, I don’t know about Balkans, but at least for me, a half-liter beer of any kind takes 30–45 minutes. Stouts and porters are too thick to drink faster, ales too bitter etc. A light lager may be, but why bother?
Do Americans really drink that slowly?
And with the light beers most of them drink they might as well be drinking water at that rate
We really got the range here, so a "beer drinker" and a "beer drinker" are the same when it's a 3.5%abv vs 14%abv. Not to mention non-alchohalic that's becoming more common
I'd say 2-3 per hour to begin with, but probably slow down around hour 6. For a weekend? At least 24, and probably want a bit of variety of styles in there too.

As a guy I would bring my own beer because even if it was enough it wouldn't be the right kind unless the host and I shared tastes.
And a bottle of liquor because I couldn’t bring a lot of beer without intimating my mistrust of the host by bringing my own beer in the first place.
Edit: Also, if I was going somewhere I'd offer to bring all of the beer, and include a wide range and enough of what I like for everyone to leave satisfied.
And some liquor.
Bacchus is lord.

Finns be like "one of us!" (internally, of course).
Though IDK, they might prefer spirits.
Are we talking 12 oz Bud Light bottles or half-liter Doppelbock?
If it's the latter, 4 are enough for a weekend.
If it's the former, that number is 0.

Can’t they just..wear a diaper?
A gallon of mead is always an option. I will have 2 soon. Hoping the second will be ready for Christmas but I don't think it will clear up in time. Might just have it hazy.
