boy Nigel Farage drinks *a lot* www.ft.com/content/864c...

Lunch with the FT: Nigel Faragewww.ft.com ‘I am what I am,’ says the Ukip leader over six pints, a bottle of wine and two glasses of port

Six pints at lunch!!!!!!!!

I mean god bless, bro. But damn.

The thing about this is the volume, both liquid and gas. Terrifying.

At my worst of my drinking this was easily doable but I was like 27

I could do it now for sure, but 1) I’m still almost 20 years younger than him 2) it would be extremely not fun 3) not as an interview activity?!?!?

the six pints i could do but the *bottle of wine and two glasses of port* along with it is probably a bridge too far

and even if on just the pints i'm absolutely gonna fall asleep after

Fuck man

I would either die or wish for death upon my return to consciousness

Honestly it might make him make *more* sense. The man is loony tunes

The article reminded me he’s an old LME geezer and yeah, that tracks; metals traders are a different breed

He’s an old school trader, you probably know the type…

There's been no point in my life where consuming that much alcohol wouldn't have landed me in the hospital.

I was 27! Once

This would have been a late night weekend a few years ago. 49.

it’s british beer presumably so not so much on the gas but still jesus

I feel bloated thinking about it. Can’t imagine going back to work after that.

I hate that I know how people can get to be able to do this without it rendering them completely unable to function for several days

It’s just “being an alcoholic” isn’t it? If you drink constantly your tolerance is insane. Like an elite Olympian.

At the worst of my alcoholism, I was drinking 20-30 beers a day every day. I have 34 years clean and sober now.

well done!

Probably why you are still with us😊Well done!

Well done Bob 👏👏👏

Congratulations, Bob!

Congratulations!

Fuck yeah Bob 👍

Jesus. How were you even managing the volume of that?

It was my normal! That's what tolerance to a drug and addiction can do.

hell yeah bob

there are levels to it, but pretty much, yeah

Yes

Guts of steel

what does he think he is, a journalist???

there's being full of shit and there's being full of beer shit

Worse: a commercial airline pilot!

Alcohol aside, that's THREE-QUARTERS OF A GALLON OF LIQUID.

my god, he's full of carbs

That's why he's never able to fend off the milkshake attacks, probbly thinks it's an incoming pint.

That's a royal pint, you wouldn't understand.

I too would need to drink that much if I had to cope with the fact that I was Nigel Farage.

I feel like my co-workers would have to stage an intervention if I had too many lunches like that.

The rest of your day is pretty screwed.

You have to convert from English pints to American pints. To the average American liver, that's two bottles of beer.

Legends never* die *often

Looking at the article (which is from 2016) that's between the two of them, not individually. I'd still suggest that three pints, half a bottle of wine and a port at *what is essentially a work lunch* is probably ill-advised, even if you're *not* a politician talking to a journalist.

I personally am hoping for the inevitable extremely soonish.

I'm hoping he gets something that rhymes with schmiver schmirrhosis

You are just too f*ck%ng charitable. But I would settle.
