Wait......is 6-8 shots a lot?

Damn. Maybe I was an alcoholic in my drinking days. I'd also be just fine with 6-8 shots.

But I wouldn't be ok with beer. Not because the beer is too potent. It's more that beer is very carbinated, and filling. I'd drink a few beers and just not have room until I pee. Whereas with shots, you could do like 60-80 shots throughout the day, and maybe pee twice. Although you won't remember it.
