I had 2 fifths of hard liquor once. spiced rum and gin. then after that, i polished off a 2 liter bottle of cheapass wine cooler. wowsers was that stuff cheap.

anyway, after all that i still wasn't drunk (where i had loss of body functions).

no hangover the next day either.

it's impossible for me to get drunk... it's not that I drink a lot and have a huge tolerence... in order for me to get drunk, I have to drink HUGE amounts very quickly, and then literally I get "drunk" for 20 minutes or so and then it wears off completely. Would I pass a breathalizer? no... but I CAN think and act completely coherent :)

3 - 4 will get me buzzed.. coherent enough, and i can walk straight (at lesat i think i do)

i dont' really drink more than that.. i've never blacked out or anything.. i usually get to that nice buzz, and try to keep it.. so i'll do 3 or so drinks quick.. get a buzz, and drink another beer or something to keep it going if i feel it fading away

Define completely wasted...slobbering and stammering drunk?

I would have to say about 10 - 12oz beers. Unless there is a time limit, then I could get wasted on half that amount by chuggalugin one after the other.

I once had half a liter of vodka in about thirty minutes. I more or less passed out/puked for the rest of the night. I figure thats my limit. Could be because im only 145 lb.

Normally I can take ~9 shots before Im slobberin drunk. ~8 is ideal.

Wow, back in my college days as a senior were my best days.
Nights I had frequently. I weighed about 210 pounds. 6'1". This was over the course of a night.

1) Drink 2/3 of a handle of Captain Morgans in the form of Cap'n'coke.
or
2) Go to the bar, down 4-death rows in about an hour. 1 death row had about 6-80 proof shots in it. Then I'd drink a mix of shots, beer and cap'n'cokes through out the night. i'd say every hour afterthe first, I averaged 2 cap'n'cokes and a beer. Shots on occasion thorughout hte night. This usually went on for 8 hours straight. So on a good night in 8 hours. That 4-death rows, 14 cap'n'cokes and maybe 4 beers. Toss in 3 shots@ 80 proof.

To translate numer (2). In an 8 hour sitting, I normally had:
4 beers
27 - 80 proof shots.
14 - shots of captain moragans

Not bad if you ask me :) Never thought about this before for some reason.

The legend at my school was the kid that drank 3.5 cases of beer in a 6 hour sitting in a contest with his friend. He weighed maybe 260-270? other friends officiated, so it was no lie!

And I'm not proud of it, but I was still a damn good driver at that point. Cops would drive past me, no problem. I'm also not proud of the fact that I have urinated on myself while sleeping back in those days. I remeber waking up one night thinking, OOooohhh, that feals war. 1 minute later. Why am I still warm. Feal around. FVCK! This happened once I think.

Really wasted? 3/4 of a liter of Smirnoff 100proof in about 1/2 hour, at this point, pretty damn bad. Otherwise, about 15-16 brews and I'm decently drunk (still can remeber what happened the night before, etc).

i don't like beer that much (yet?maybe it'll grow on me if idrink more), i can only manage about 4 bottles of it before the bitterness starts to piss me off. i usually got for the alcypops stuff, or just hard liquor mixed with orange juice. if it's say, those little smirnoff ice type things, then after about the 4th it kinda hits me, 6th i start to get legless. if it liquor, say a litre of the mix (half voka, half orange) then that'll keep me goin for the rest of the night. but ever since a party i went to about a year ago, i drank way to much then i could handle (4 shots of these 20% things called 'sidekicks', a 2 litre vodka/rum mix, 3 beers, and 4 smirnoff ice thingies), i can't drink as much as i used to. So i smoke weed more now, alot easier imo
