Imagine doing a beer an inning

If you are doing that at a normal game, you've got a problem...it might be accepted behavior in your social circle, but you have problem.

That's quite a bit of alcohol to be drinking, but that alone does not make it a "problem". Ill-advised? Sure. But whether it's a "problem" depends on other factors - for example there's a big difference between drinking a can of 9% ABV beer per inning. Drinking too much alcohol one time does not a problem make.

That's the 9-9-9 challenge - 9 innings, 9 beers, 9 hotdogs.

Anyone who can drink a beer per inning is not doing it as a one time thing. If you drink infrequently, you won't be capable of doing this and remaining in a capacity becoming of public places with children around

To be fair, OP didn't say anything about being at the game. Could be at home.

9x 4% 12.5oz beers in 3 hours is quite a lot, but it's definitely something that could be accomplished without the person necessarily having a problem. I know plenty of people who are not alcoholics but have stories of one-off nights like that with friends.

Definitely don't do this in a public, child-friendly venu though. That would be grossly irresponsible.
