I go straight from 2ish glasses of wine to room spinning/feeling sick. Drunk is not fun.

I don't drink wine, but I agree that drunk/spinning is not fun. If I can hit the perfect spot where I'm just getting loose and a little tipsy, I enjoy it. Takes about 4-5 beers over the course of 1-2 hours for me. Problem is, if I have any more than that, I get miserable and don't enjoy myself at all. It's hard to pace myself just right - if I'm still drinking when I start to feel tipsy, I've usually overdone it and will be unhappy within half an hour.

I don't quite understand drinking to get drunk, though I suppose some people have higher tolerances than I do. Some of my friends can put away twice as much as I can while still staying on their feet and active, while I'll be throwing up or sleeping.

I can keep drinking until I black out, and apparently can continue to drink once blacked out, and even threw up from it once or twice... but it pretty much takes a deliberate act for me to get that far gone. Somewhere past seventeen shots in a night is when I start doing things like deciding it's time for me to be naked, even though everyone else is still fully clothed.

Oh don't get me wrong, I love a glass of wine with my dinner.

Then I also like a glass of wine with my wine.

And then another glass with my napkin.

And one for my fork.

Then one for my knife.

And then one for the pole I have pics taken of me dancing on later on that night.

oxidative stress from booze will make you end up looking like Keith Richards. Be a true leather face and guzzle a gallon.

Doesn't sound like a good time to me. I'll stay sober, thanks, but you go ahead and do whatever you want.

there is a very good chance that i will consume less than 10 beers this weekend. i don't have any beers for tonight.. gotta dry out a bit, been hard at it as of late and my body is letting me know. not only the partying and drinking, but hockey, volleyball and a couple rounds of golf per week. these old bones are feelin it 0_0 plus even though i'm staying active, my eating and drinking habits combined with my mostly-desk job and sedentary lifestyle at home still leave me with a substantial spare tire. fail. need gym and diet, stat.

This happened to be one New Year's eve in Venice.

T'was not as fun as it sounds.


I've only hit full-on blackout twice, and the stories I'm told of what transpired afterward are, well, not for the faint of heart.

I don't really drink ot get drunk. I get very talky when with people, and while drinking. I just really enjoy myself and keep drinking as I go. it's never a "See how much I can drink, brah!" It's just that once I start, I tend to drink a good bit, and usually for no good reason. I like the taste of beer and wine, so yeah.

i've heard there is a word to describe this behavior.

I enjoy a few beers and / or a Johnny Walker black now and then , but just had shoulder surgery( labrum , cuff and bicep repairs).
I don't wish to be the next Karen Quinlan , so no drinking for me , even at the Card's game.
Sure would be nice to have a few in the heat at the game , but I'll save a bunch of money at least.
