You can definitely say that a whole case of beer was drank every Saturday in a passive voice. Most people would be fine with this.
A passive voice puts the actor after the action, or the actor is missing. When the actor is missing, writers then have to add a "by" phrase" to explain the sentence more.From your examples:A whole case of beer gets drunk every Saturday night."gets drunk" is passive, like "gets walked", "gets paddled"WHO "gets drunk"? WHO gets walked? WHO gets paddled?Teachers will ask you, "drunk by whom?", and you answer might be, "A whole case of beer gets drunk every Saturday night by the frat boys". If you ever find yourself answering with a "by (whatever)", you have a passive sentence.An active sentence would be:The frat boys drink a whole case of beer every Saturday night.Note the actor--the noun--is first. (boys)The verb is active. (drink)The sentence does not need a "by" clause as an explanation of "who?" or "whom".Note the active voice shortens the number of words used.
