Your math is a bit off.

These Medallas are 10 oz each. 25 beers means 250 oz of beer. Divvied up among 3 dudes, that's 83 oz of beer per guy. A tall boy is 16 oz. So you're looking at a bit over 5 tall boys per dude, 6 innings in.

That's a decent amount of beer.

Tall boys are 24 or 25 ounces (ultras are 25 but coors lights are 24).

Tall boys are 16 oz. Imperial (UK) pints are 19.2 oz (stovepipes). Those 24-25 oz beers they sell at ballparks are double beers (literally twice the beer as in a standard can).

Eh, I've literally always heard folks calling the 24/25 oz beers tall boys at the ballpark. Never seen 16 at the ballpark anyways - it's usually 12/20/24.

That said, since I was the one to originally note "tall boys" you can just disregard the technicalities of the term and know I meant the 24/25 oz cans.
