And here I would have guessed severe alcohol poisoning.

Oh well.....

[Bullish]

What a lightweight.

He drinks a whiskey drink
He drinks a Vodka drink
He drinks a Lager drink
He drinks a cider drink
He sings the songs that remind him of the good times
He sings the songs that remind him of the better times
Oh, Danny Boy
Danny Boy
Danny Boy
I get knocked down
But I get up again
You’re never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down
But I get up again
You’re never gonna keep me down

[Veto!]

Something’s wrong with this story. Anyone served that many drinks would have fallen on the floor the minute he left his seat. If not before.

More to this story.

You aren't suggesting Royal Caribbean drinks are watered down?!

Actually, some people can tolerate stupendous quantities of alcohol.

In the good old days, he would have just got a hickory shampoo, woke up with a headache, blamed it on the alcohol and would have had to apologize to the captain.

Like many cruise lines, Royal C offers “unlimited drink” packages. This guy was probably demanding all of this alcohol to get his money’s worth, and the bartender most likely felt obligated to keep pouring.

Well he just ruined it for everybody now. You can bet there will be limits now.

[pfflier]

Probably bought one of those all you can drink packages.

I know a 6'4" 325 lb German guy who had 20 beers, within the 4-5 hours that I was with him at a friend's BBQ. He was drinking before I arrived, and stayed later after I left too. He appeared tipsy, but could easily walk, talk, make jokes, etc...

I’m pretty sure Carnival and MSC Cruises impose a limit of 15 alcoholic drinks per person, per day on the alcohol packages.

attacked and threatened to kill crew members

That's what they get for cutting him off.

"Anyone served that many drinks would have fallen on the floor the minute he left his seat."

Any seasoned alcoholic could put away a quart in one sitting.

There's far less than a quart in 33 bar drinks.

Dang it... wishing again there was an edit button on FR. I got in a hurry and missed my paragraph tags.

Drink packages do have limits, always have.

[dfwgator]

So there’s no such thing as an “All You Can Drink Package”, right?
