In other words, forty 1.5oz. shots of 100 proof rum over 7 days. With lots of food involved. Sounds like a lot but it's not:

Day 1 .... 14 shots
Day 2 .... 9 shots
Day 3 .... ~sober~
Day 4 .... 14 shots
Day 5 ..... ~sober~
Day 6 ..... 8 shots
Day 7 ..... 9 shots

Is this okay for a healthy collage student? It doesn't effect my brain I'm just worried about my liver.

    No that isn't normal for a college student. You need to triple it right away.

    How many times have we all heard alcoholics say, "It doesn't effect my brain", "I'm not an alcoholic" or "I do X better when I drink" or some other old bit of crap?
    It sounds like you are getting pretty good at the excuses for being an alcoholic.

      You want to cut off your leg because you believe in your mind you are an amputee.

    100 proof is 50% alcohol, 200 proof would be 100% alcohol. This is not the only example if your inability to count, you went from 20 to 40 shots somewhere between writing your title and writing your story, so maybe it is affecting your mind a bit. But no, you aren't the first college kid to drink it up.

      40 shots of 100 proof is the same alcohol content as 20 of 200 proof. I think OP was just whittling it down to volume of actual alcohol alone. A tad weird but whatever.

        It is a tad weird. I've never heard anyone count drinks that way in my life. That would be like someone having a 6 pack of 12 proof (6%) beer and saying, "I just had a bottle of 36% alcohol."

        Actually a shot is 1.5 oz and a beer is 12 oz so by the OP's thinking that is 8 shots of 6% per beer, so every 2 beers is 1 shot of 100% alcohol. So the person drinking a 6 pack could say " I just had 3 shots of 100% alcohol"

        Using that math, the OP drank the equivalent of a 6 pack a day for a week. That doesn't sound like as much put that way.
