How long does it take you to drink a pint?

Where I go, the pub is surprisingly clean (there is a sheet where staff has to sign every 1 hour) but I leave my pint at the table anyway.

how can you nurse a pint to any more than 15minutes...
if its not lively and bubbling i ask for it livened up, and a new head put on, usually about 10minutes a pint casually, 6-7seconds or so if im asked to down it.

I'm a real ale drinker nowadays and so I usually savour my drink - probably about 30 mins for a casual pint. If i'm out on the razz, probably nearer 15.
I used to be able to down one in less than 3 seconds but haven't really been timed for a good few years - it's the sort of thing that becomes less important as you become older. I think I'd still be reasonably quick - maybe I'll time myself sometime just out of curiosity

Never been good at downing pints, but I hate drinking large quantities of lager anyway, very few that don't end up making me feel too bloated. I tend to go with real ale, if we're out somewhere that serves it (praise be to whoever it was that brought Hobgoblin to the union), and probably take about 20 minutes to drink a pint.
No idea how fast I could neck something, never really tried, though most people seem to manage a beer bong within 10 seconds. I can drink a fair bit, but tend to spread it out, the aim's never to get hammered as fast as possible.

There was one occasion where I downed my first pint of ale in about 30 seconds but I don't make a habit of that as it makes me belch.
Depends on the time of day - if I get to the pub within an hour or two of closing time then I might drink a bit quicker, but normally it's more of a social activity when you get to my age. If I had to put an average on it, I'd say it was roughly 15-20 mins a pint which stretches slightly the more I have - that can be a problem if I'm drinking with my father-in-law as he's the opposite, starts slowly but drinks quicker as the evening wears on.
In terms of capacity 4 to 5 pints will be enough to get me drunk without feeling the need to puke and without much of a hangover, if any, the following day. One thing that's always surprised me is that I'm at least halfway down my third pint before I need to go for a pee - an old drinking partner from years back had no bladder capacity whatsoever and used to get the urge to go every half-pint. We used to give him such stick for that

I'm like that.
Extreme liking for beer with large capacity but pitifully small bladder - I'm usually ok for 3 or 4 pints, but, once I've broken the seal, it's about every half pint for me too
If I'm in company, I always try to get a seat towards the outside of the table so that I don't have to fight my way past people every 15 minutes - and whenever I go into a new pub/club/house where I'll be drinking beer, I always suss out where the loo is as soon as I get there.

Oh yeah, 'breaking the seal' is the beginning of the end - I can hold almost three pints before I need to go, but once I have then I'm up and down the rest of the night.
The guy I used to drink with was like that right from his first pint of the evening though - must have had a bladder the size of a walnut. We used to rib him that it was something to do with his Mum putting him on his potty when he was a baby and as soon as he was halfway down his pint we'd start saying stuff like "Go wee-wees for Mummy ..."

I do it bass ackwards!
30 - 40 mins first pint
20 mins
10 mins....
But then I drink Newqie Brown, and I take offence when a barman/maid asks if I want a glass with it!!
If I'm not drinking The Brown stuff then its either Guiness or Tetly's
Used to drink beer/cider but can't anymore because I have a gastrul reflux! I remember doing a 2.5 ltr bottle of Frostie Jack in about
30 seconds. That was fun, NOT!! ( think i was about 15/16?! )

I missed this... I was also born with a bladder the size of a small water biscuit, and if I drink beer heavily I am literally up to the loo every 20 mins. Hence my tendence to drink stronger stuff, hence less liquid to wee out.
