    Don’t do this. Fireball is 33% Alcohol (66 proof). 3 oz of pure alcohol is enough to start considering immediate risks to your health, this bottle is 750ml or about 25 oz of which 8 are pure alcohol, drinking this amount in one go can send you to the emergency room and an entire bottle can kill you, and it will NOT feel good.

      Someone is not an alcoholic. I’ve downed 12 oz of rum in one gulp. Didn’t even feel sick. Don’t drink no more for obvious reasons.

        I’m the same but I’ve calmed it down lately quite a bit but I was drinking a bottle of Wray & nephew overproof rum in pretty much one sitting and that 63% pretty much double fireball.

        I won’t pretend it was healthy or wise but yeah I’m alive and I did that a lot.

        Yeah same I drink very moderately now but once upon a time that bottle would be significantly less than one normal weekend night out, or a fairly difficult weeknight.

        for real

        fireball is light. I like bankers club Gin and Evan Williams bourbon. it’s an act of self control not to drink half a bottle a night.

        I’m not an alcoholic, I just like to drink, and keep my tolerance up for social situations.

      “In one go” is a loose term here. You’re not going to feel pretty tomorrow no matter which way you slice it, but if you start at like 7pm and are up until like 1 or 2 in the morning that’s a lot of time to space out the drinking. For a 750 ml bottle that’s about 2.5 shots an hour. Bad for you, but doable. Not to mention they did not fill the cup up with a whole bottle.

      Source: have done.

      Depends on tolerance. I would do this with no issues, but it’s a bit of a waste for me to drink it straight. I like Fireball with fiery ginger beer; they mix really well.
