Drinking full bottle of gin in one go?

[GinGinGin3577]

Dh has drank a 70cl bottle of gin tonight. He was incredibly drunk when I found him coming out of the pub (don’t know what else he had there). He’s hiccuping a lot in his sleep and making funny noises, should I stay up and watch him or is this a fairly normal amount when binge drinking? I don’t know if I should be worried or not

Leave him with a bowl to chunder in. And make sure he doesn’t drive today.

Did he actually drink it in “one go”? Or over a few hours in the pub?
Make sure he’s in the recovery position. Hopefully he doesn’t piss the bed

Bloody hell a full bottle???? Does he often drink like that?

I’d probably try and pop a towel under him incase he pisses the bed, a bowl to hurl into nearby and the recovery position that’s a lot of alcohol to drink in one night. I wouldn’t be very impressed at all, also it’s a weeknight doe she have responsibilities in the morning? A job? Kids to see to?

Since the serve gin in pubs in measures how much did that cost and how do you know it was a full bottle since you weren’t in the pub with him?

That's 28 units of alcohol. Like drinking more than nine large glasses of wine, or 14 pints. I'd stay up, at least for a while. And I'd be furious. (I'm not a pearl clutcher about drinking, but that's not okay.)

A bottle of gin? Jeez, I'd still be under a table in the pub.

Take harrypotterfan's advice; recovery position, precautionary towel and bowl, and leave him to it.

It's not at all uncommon for an alcoholic but you don't mention that. Did he have the empty bottle in his possession while at the pub, so he might not have consumed all of it himself? Again, it's an alcoholic trick to carry drink with you and consume it secretly in the toilets, but that's a planned practice and not a one off. Either way, I hope he's ok this morning.

Who was counting his drinks in the pub?

Also wondering this

OP reads like he drunk the gin after the pub

That is an obscene amount of alcohol, and I say that as someone who really enjoys a drink.
A lad I went to uni with died after drinking a whole 70cl bottle of vodka...

That's 28 gin & tonics, or 14 doubles! fucking hell

It does seem a lot. I would be sick halfway through the bottle.
As pp have said best to put towels under him and a bowl nearby for the inevitable vomit.
And a nice cold glass of water nearby.
Shame he hasnt had the water before sleeping though.
I hope he doesn't have work/driving tomorrow. He ll be over the limit for ages!

£100?!

In my mis-spent youth, a friend and I did a litre of gin in an evening. I stayed over and got the bus home the following morning.

It was possibly the worst journey of my life, despite it only lasting 40 minutes. I've had some dreadful hangovers in my time, but that was the worst by some margin. It took about 3 days before I felt properly ok.

He's going to be feeling grim this morning.

I hope you are both ok. You know that's not good right op?

This🔝

It's not okay by far, that is an obscene amount & leaves him at risk from drowning in his own vomit. That puts pressure on you to take care of him as you are obviously trying to do now. That is not okay.

I'd have the hoover out in the bedroom first thing & anything else noisy & annoying I can think of. Payback time

a person who can drink a full bottle of gin (and potentially other alcohol !) in one evening has a serious alcohol problem. i would definitely watch him, and make sure he’s at the gp asap to do something about the alcohol problem

Are you certain it was a whole 70cl bottle. That's an intense amount.

The answer depends on what ' normal' is for him .
Someone with alcohol dependency could drink like this , not without consequences obviously but their body would be accustomed to that level of alcohol.
If he usually drinks much less then I would be concerned about choking .
Recovery position and keep checking on him.
He's going to feel dreadful later.

What kind of bar who presumably value their license would keep serving someone until they'd consumed an entire bottle of gin?!

OP reads like he drunk the gin after the pub

I thought that initially, but there was only reference to drinking gin. I think if it was after the pub the title would have been more along the lines of drinking a bottle of gin after getting drunk at pub, not just 'bottle of gin Iin one go'

Yes I want too sure how to interpret the OP with when the bottle of gin was drank. Either way a bottle of gin is a huge anout of alcohol. Added on top drinking till incredibly drunk it's immense.

If he was very drunk when you ‘found’ him it suggests you didn’t know where he was, which is concerning. Had he been at work earlier or has he been out drinking all day? I drank a bottle of gin once but it was during a day at the races followed by Status Quo concert so we started drinking early and finished late, interspersed with food and soft drinks. Interestingly I stayed at a tipsy level all day, unlike colleagues who were drinking Prosecco. I hope your DH is ok and able to have a conversation about it. He shouldn’t have caused you to worry.
