What do you consider drunk?

16-18 beer in 5-6 hours will likely get me there. But it always seems to include a couple random shots. But at that point I'm fully coherent, and not stumbling around.

I can put down a lot of alcohol, my problem is that I have a weak stomach. Usually though, on a normal day ~8 beers will do it, or about 10 shots.

6 shots is kind of a lot. That's a 6pack of beer. Depends on how fast your doing them though. 6 shots in an hour would get me ripped, over a couple hours, not so much. I seem to metabolize alcohol quickly. I'll go from pretty buzzed, to not much faster than I think's usual.

My problem is drinking too fast. I can drink A LOT if I space it out over the course of a night... but sometimes I drink way too fast and get super drunk.

Quite a bit I think. My ex always used to say she could never tell when I was drunk, even if we had been out partying like crazy all night. Not sure whether that is a good or bad thing. :hmm:

to get actually drunk, like bad decisions drunk, it typically takes more than a 5th of whiskey within 2 hours.

I did that about 6 months ago because i hadn't been really drunk in a long time and wasn't sure if i could even get drunk anymore without getting sick first. I drank about 2 fifths of crown in about a 6 hour period with about 3 shots of moonshine mixed in. Man what a mistake, i was so embarrassed the next day because i was being all sexual to one of my friends like kinda groping her ass. drunk = retarded person for me, wont ever do it again.

Really depends on time span and if you've eaten.

this.

i would estimate my tolerance at between 4 and 20 drinks. and really even just 3 would make me feel bad if i drank it all at once on an empty stomach.

or more accurately...am i a lightweight if by 6 shots of tequila i'm thoroughly buzzed?

I KNOW i am not a lightweight and that gives me a heavy buzz. Alcohol tolerance has more to do with how often than anything else, i've seen a thin woman being able to hold her own against guys weighing four times what she does.

Of course, she was a raging alcoholic. :D

Depends on what you mean by drunk. 6 shot would get me moderatly buzzed but nothing special. But then I've done 20+ shots in the past many times. Never again though.

To get stumbling drunk, about 10+ beers over a night (say 5 hours).

I haven't done that in years though. More did it when I was under 21 and got liquor. I only drink beer now, so 6-8 beers in a night gets me a good buzz but not too drunk.

Not a heavyweight by any means, in fact I'm pretty skinny, but I drink pretty often so it takes a little bit more.

Generally over the span of 5~ hours and after a dinner:

5-10 1oz shots will get me a buzz.
15-25 1oz shots will get me drunk.
25-30 and Ill start to stumble.
30+ and its time to hurl!

6'1 200.


Most ive ever had being able to keep it down is 34 shots. Thats approx 1L of 80proof.

First time I ever got drunk was 5 1.5oz Bacardi 151 + 7ish 1.5oz shots of Vodka and 4 glassess of jack n coke. Maybe 2 shots in each glass. zoMg wasted. No hangover!

10 shots within an hour will get me past buzzed but not really drunk and it goes downhill quickly from there.

18-20 shots in 2 hours usually means i am fully drunk, haven't gone past this point though.

I don't drink much, the hardest stuff I've ever taken was crown royal, and it was not a lot, so I never felt a thing.

I always wonder how much it would take for me to feel something though. I have a feeling it would be more then I think.

6 shots of Tequila would definitely get me drunk... even spaced out over 3 hours.

I start to get light headed after one gulp of beer.
I can drink beer all night long and never be really drunk though.
For me, beer has a built in drunk governor.

Liquor is another story...
