I must give due respect to our friend, he sunk 6 bottles whilst holding on to the bar rail for support. The call of nature intervened and our friend let go of the support rail.
One step forward and his puss was embedded in the carpet.

By my rough estimate that would be like chugging about 2.5 bottles of plonk. Wicked
