Alcohol by the Numbers

By Dr. Richard Boyum

  • 12 beers a week at 12 oz. each = 144 oz.
  • 144 / by 16 oz. = 9 pounds
  • 9 pounds times 50 weeks = 450 pounds
    If you weigh 150 pounds, you are drinking 3 times your body weight in beer a year.

    If you drink 12 beers a week, you drink 1 gallon and a pint. This amounts to 56 gallons of beer per year.

    Do you drink 56 gallons of milk or juice?

  • 12 beers per week * 50 weeks equals 600 beers per year.
  • That would be 25 cases.
    Where would you store a year's worth of beer?
  • 2,000 calories recommended per day
  • 100 calories per a beer
  • 10 beers per a week * 100 calories = 1,000 calories
  • 50 weeks * 1,000 calories = 50,000 calories per year
  • 50,000 calories of beer = 25 days of empty calories

If you drink 12 beers a week, you drink 9 pounds a week.

  • 9 lbs. * 50 weeks = 450 lbs. a year

If you urinate 6 oz. in a minute, it would take 9 minutes to pass the beer.

  • 450 lbs. / by 60 minutes = 7.5 hours of urinating and don't forget to add in zipper time
