We all make different things, as well as spirits so just for a laugh lets have a bottle count.
How many full bottle have you got that you could crack open today!
You could call it an annual stock take
Rules is simple - One bottle of beer = one bottle of wine = one bottle of spirits - and a DJ counts as six. No Gazza you can't include that wash you've just put on

I do notice no count from the OP?
Only just spotted this, and way too late to go out to the shed.
In my head I reckon about 800 - 1000 mash measures.
But they are some bonkers rules
" One bottle of beer = one bottle of wine = one bottle of spirits - and a DJ counts as six."
That could bring me down to 500
I'll find a quiet 5 minutes on the morrow and try and be more accreate.
See what I did there?
My voice rcogniyion soffware is also pamts.!

Bottle's seems a good measure of "hand made stuff that I drink" and easier.
Most peeps know ".. and I have got 6 bottles of..."
I thought units might be irrelevant.
I am still counting...

You start utlizing ALL of your storeage space!
Until you start falling over bottles faster than you fill them, you have not reached your zenith.
The standard encore call at my local gigs is
"One more tune"
One more bottle must be easier?

This was a good premise for a survey , or talking point.
However, IMO Mash got the Tally measure wrong, and I lost interest, a bottle of beer does not = a bottle of spirits...
Why not try again.?
Most of us here can count units of alcohol, (volume in ml x %. divided by 1,000).
Currently indoors I have around 1100 units, in the shed I have around 630.
And a few bits.
Figures may be 10% higher or lower, some rounding was used, but closer to real than the original measure.
Enough to last me two and a half years, according to Gvt. guidelines.
Robert.
Edit. fergot to count the feints receievers. throw in a couple of hundred more.

I think its safe to say that I could get all in my road hammered,
and that's 130 houses, for the next six months.
I have 9 DJ's neutral 2 Rum 3 Cornwhisky 3 Cachaca 1 spiced Rum
1 Sloe Gin 2 Orange Gin 11half sized Gin(2ltr) 17 Bottles various
SS essences 7 bottles Ginger beer and 64 bottles brewed kit beer.
I think that makes 120 counting DJ's as 1

Well you lazy bugger, My calculator puts you at around 4,500 to 5,000 units.
About twice, nearly three times my stock.
You move to the top of the list for brew in hand!
Robert.

Good effort in bottles I reckon that's around 247 lets say 250. Good effort.
But quite a small street... Have you noticed how much beer Ed's been making recently?

Sorry Robert. No I didn't. I intentionally thought about it. Please do not hijack this with units.
Its a bit of fun, that was the intention of the post. Not a mathematical competition.
People can easy count it, visualise it and go

But it has no real value?
As a talking point it is good...
I've got 12 potatoes, You've got 12 sacks of potatoes.
We each have 12 potatoes?
You are not even claiming bigger potatoes.
Yay!
Lost.

Love the "PreBooze".
I thought it would be a bit of fun to "open the cocktail cabinet ' and see what's in there.
Ps. I have 3 sacks of tates, but I am not counting those. PreBooze or otherwise.

Me too Jacs

Production can't keep up with demand! Homebrew wise I've got about 2 bottles total
