Smash1984 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 I wanted to know how much booze people take to last them for the whole festival? I know the answers will vary based on how much each person drinks etc etc but figured i could work out some sort of average amount, 2/3/4/5 crates of beer etc?! Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
posthuman Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 For me: 1 case of beer, topped up with drinks that I buy from bars when I'm out and about at the festival. (Cider Bus, Brother's, Avalon, etc.... ) Any more than that and my girlfriend would get grumpy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoghurt on a Stick Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Previously I used to take what was humanly possible to carry along with camping kit etc. I now have a trolley so expect to take a shed load more. Can't give figures as I really can't remember the specific amount I have taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonTom Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) I usually take: 3 x 12 cans of larger/cider 2 x 1Litre of spirits (Usually Rum and Vodka) and that will do me for most of the festival, topped up with few drinks from the bars That does me and my light drinking mate fine Edited March 13, 2013 by LondonTom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesrfisher Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 We take two crates of 24 cans, generally two types of ale. This year will be Rev James and London Pride. This is between my wife and myself. i also take a flask of whiskey for me.<br /><br />We will then top up at bars, generally whatever bitter is at the bar. Will spend thursday afternoon and evening at the Real Ale Bar. Will also find the St Austel tent for a few pints of Tribute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YetAnotherOldHippy Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 18 pint bag-in-a-box of Boondoggle, which won't last past Thursday lunchtime. There are two of us! Numerous ales and ciders from many bars will also be consumed. (I might put a bottle of reasonable scotch or rum in a plastic bottle too, but don't tell anyone) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimps in Balaclavas Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 2 crates of 24 Stella (my missus is a light drinker) & a bottle or 2 of home-made flavoured Vodka. I usually top up my drinks with some ice cold larger from the bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieSpenno Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 A 5 litre mix of vodka with whatever energy drink/pop i decide on (ususally 2 litre vodka + 3 litre mixer). Then I spend a lot of time and money at the Brothers bar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_coholic Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 50-60 cans and 6 ltrs wine to start with. Topped up from the bars on site, for me and the wife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle the Sink Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 I think I have well under-estimated the amount of time spent drinking. Was looking at taking a 24 can crate for the entirety! Just out of interest how much is lager / cider once we are there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
