Let me clarify.

I don't think you, or any of us, can actually drink 30 (12 oz) cans in one sitting. But consider that the high bar. Who cares if we actually make it there, most still pass out halfway through, much to the humor of the witnesses.

We need some sort of standard. If we make the limit 24 hours, well fuck, I can process a lot of booze over that time period. Likewise, if we use a six-pack as a standard...well then it's more about who can drink 6 beers the fastest, not necessarily who can hold the most.

I want this contest to be about overall tolerance. Intoxication is directly proportional to body size + ability to process it. This contest needs to balance both.

That's why I like whiskey over beer. A 300 dude can fill his fat stomach with twice the volume of beer that I could...I'd puke cause my stomach is full. But if it's whiskey, and everyone takes a shot every 10 minutes. Well, then sir, we'll have people dropping like flies, and only the strongest liver will survive.
