I get no warning really. I usually wake up dreading the phone calls i'll get from friends from the night before telling me all the stupid crap I did. It's like i'm fine at a six pack, and as soon as I pass that point i'm a black out drinker. Anything over five or six and I forget usually the last hour or so of the night, and of course that last hour would be the hour I need to remember so I can make proper apologies. 😉 Lately I have not been drinking at all because of this, and this was the reason I stopped drinking for 8 years(22-30), and only started again two years ago after a breakup. It sucks, because when I go out I have to be really carefull not to have any more than like five beers, forget about mixed drinks. I'm a light weight I guess. BTW, I weight about 185lbs.
 
The steps in the tipical night partying of Soccerman06:

1. Takes nap until time to pre game.
2. Pre games 2-7 shots/beers.
3. Does many cups of beer, many beer bongs and keg stands.
4. Hits on 1/2 the girls at the party who are single (I am a nice guy and dont hit on peoplw who arent single), they usually look a lot better when Im drunk, sometimes fugly when I wake up.
4. Gets lucky 1/10 girls.
5. If no girl, party with guys who have the kegs.
6. Get completely wasted and passed out.
7. Feel completely great in the morning (I almost never have a hang-over).


Ways Soccerman06 knows hes drunk:

1. Falls over when sitting still in a chair.
2. Calls everyone in his cellphone.
3. Wakes up next to a fugly chick.
4. Take a digger (trip when walking) and someone else tells me Im bleeding.
5. I dont feel anything.
6. Call recent ex.
7. Start sinigng "My Hump" from Black Eyed Pees out of nowhere.
8. My face is numb.
9. I puke in the sink.
10. Cant figure out where I am.
11. Am good at beer pong.
12. Hit my head on ceiling at house (going up stairs).
13. Eat a lot of food (ate 3 mediums from Dominoes last night).
14. Make drunken posts on here (like this one).
15. Mod tells me I need to stop posting drunk.

night.

Same here. That's "tipsy". The next step is when I get loud - I notice that people in the next room are responding to my inane conversations.

Alas, drunk is only something I know about afterwards.

I get that, too, as well as feeling slightly lightheaded. Almost euphoric. That's when I have to quit, at least for an hour or so, if I go beyond, I always regret it later.
 
a few signs that tell me i'm more than buzzed:

i don't feel like moving
takes me a sec or two longer to focus my eyes on something i just turned my head to
everything i hear gets kinda muffled, i start asking people to repeat what they said
i become single focused, finding it difficult to focus on multiple things
 
my friends say I get really quiet.... which is odd considering that it defies the fundamental state of inebriation 😕
 
when i can't taste the drinks anymore. anyone want some magic tasteless popcorn?!!?

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

then you wake up the next morning only to out find the "hot" woman is really a 250Lb woman with nasty acne.

 
When there's a lag time between my vision catching up with movement. It feels like everything's on a 2-second tape delay.

1st sign is I get a lot less inhibited with what I say
Next step is for my lips/front teeth to go numb
Then comes the tipsy feelings
After that follows the blurred vision
At that point I either shut it down or go to bed.

But the first sign for me that I'm getting past the buzz point is when I say things that I wouldn't say sober. I'm a pretty cognizant drunk and know when I say or do things...it's just that my mouth usually takes processing priority over my brain 🙂
