The kidneys can clear .9 liters an hour at most
This is my only qualm with your numbers Jon, because this is two schooners worth of beer and saying that I cannot drink two schooners of beer in an hour is so wrong I cannot believe it. Of course, there is most likely an accumulative effect. I'm guessing a queue forms in the stomach. For example, two schooners of beer in an hour is childs play, but I still cannot honestly claim to have drank an entire carton of beer in less than nine hours, and god help me, I've tried. In fact, to prove Jon correct in his overall thesis, I will attempt to drink a carton of beer in six hours tomorrow night. I will have some hard data for you guys to compile.
Of course, when you introduce whiskey into the equation, its a whole other ball game.
