I seem to get drunk in stages. Let me properly describe these phases of drunkness...

Stage 1 - Preamble Beers

Ahh..wonderful stage one. Everything goes down ice cold, reactions are great, and your looking forward to the night. Nothing better than a good Preamble Beer.

Stage 2 - Mellowed Out Beers

You've had a couple beers by now. You can just sit back and watch everyone else if you'd like, and enjoy the oncomings of a nice, subtle buzz. Things seem a bit funnier, and everything has a slight dreamy feel to it.

Stage 3 - Lets Play a Game!

Ah, Stage 3 is usually where the games break out. One of my favorites is 'Never Ever Have I'... So for instance, "Never ever have I worn a bra." Everyone who has worn a bra takes a drink. Great for large numbers of people. The great thing is, girls are more likley at admit things they have done in the past since they don't have to outright say it, just subtley take a drink ;)

Stage 4 - RPG Beers

Usually at Stage 4 I like to go on missions. These are usually when I get into the most trouble. Going out for a walk usually results in the aquirement of goodies, ala signs, lights, and other items. It's like a good game of Morrowind....

Stage 5 - Kick in the teeth

Stage 5 is when you've reached home, or where ever your final destination may be. Your thinking back on how fast the night went, and your buzz has turned into full on Kick-in-the-teeth drunkenness. It's time for sleep, your night has been concluded. :beer:
how about the stage when you feel, that your stomach is having trouble holding all the stuff, you get to the next toilet to let it out from where it came in and fall asleep (still on the toilet after giving your inner out?(
(oh well not anymore, but 2-3 years ago that was kinda normal for me when i got really realy drunk. thankfully i had always friends who took care of me (like waking me up and sending me home) ;)

That's during the "Kick In The Teeth" phase if you don't fall asleep quick enough. Then it becomes an almost literal kick in the teeth. :Q Actually, I find I don't get sickly like that until after I stop drinking. So if you can, it's best to keep drinking and slowly back off to coast your way down to a nice, gentle hangover. Not a "wakeup with your face in the toilet and stomach acid branded into your mouth for a day".

You had one post, yet your post was like you've been here for months/years.

Hmm..I guess that's good ;). I'm a mod for a couple forums, so I tend to know my way around and find a niche rather quickly. I kind of like these OT forums, not bad... :cool:

You don't remember what that feels like? :Q

I never got into alcohol - wasn't a big deal to me that's all - plus I was the designated driver most of the time. But I got fairly drunk but still in control for my stag and I have to say it felt pretty good.

Felt warm, uninhibited, loss of coordination, happy.

I tried pretty hard to not show my bro and my friends that I was almost gone but it was tough to walk with the usual gait. Had to take a leak real bad so I went to a fence outside of our old hangout/club and tried to pee while standing. No dice. Had to actually take one hand and balance myself otherwise I would have wiped out.

Had a great time though. Still remember what I drank that night. 6 shooters. 4 Mike's Hard Lemonade. 1/2 a beer and 2 Double Long Island Ice Teas. All in about 3 hours or so. Thank God i'm stocky and carry alot of weight on my frame from years of lifting/bodybuilding and all that. Otherwise I would not have been able to metabolise all that alcohol. Had a bitch of a hangover too. Never felt that before. That's terrible.

I got one of those plastic cups (~300ml/10 shots or so) of Malibu and drank it all in one go.
Didn't even taste it. A bit of a waste in soem respects. Safe to say the hangover sucked.

Actually, that's when I realized I had a drinking problem. Prying off the flame guard and turning the bottle up.

Malibu doesn't even compare to 151.

Compared to bud, Its a more heavy feeling. You sweat lose your balance things like that. I unno thats kind of like asking how to explain the way an orange smells. You cant explain it. It just smells orange.

Really drunk? Dizzy, sleepy, very disconnected with surroundings.

Really high on marijuana? Things become more intensely interesting, anything can become funny, emotions are much more intensly felt, imagination/thoughts are more intense and sometimes very rapid.

I'd rather be really high than really drunk, it's just more pleasant. That said, a slight buzz from either substance is my preference over a full blown drunk/high, there's just more self-control.

It usually depends on what kind of mood I'm in before/when I'm drinking. Whatever my mood is, it usually just gets amplified. I always feel like talking to people, which isn't normal for me. I become very social. I lose almost all of my inhibitions, which is sometimes a good thing, sometimes now. I also usually say things that I shouldn't say in front of people that I shouldn't say them. It's almost always a fun experience.

You feel warm and relaxed (depending on your level of drunkeness). Your face will be numb if you've drank enough. Happy thoughts and doing things that are enjoyable are that much better and sad thoughts and memories may seem more sad than normal. Talking becomes easier usually and your inhibitions are lowered. Obviously coordination and balance are impaired when you've drank enough. You may do things you would never normally do (or say). A fun experience if you're responsible about it.
