Also, what kind of alcohol are you doing 4 shots of? I presume that one shot equals one oz of liquor?

Shot = 1.5 oz @ 80 proof = 1 oz @ 120 proof
beer= 12 oz @ 10 proof = 1 oz @ 120 proof
wine = 6 oz @ 20 proof = 1 oz @ 120 proof


each of those are considered a drink

Must be piss beer like Natty Light or Keystone Light.

MGD usually, or coors light :( MGD if im buying

4 shots in 2 hours?

You'll be lucky to feel anything associated with the alcohol unless they are huge shots of 151 or everclear.

still it's 3.2%. ok, so you mean to say you drank 35 or 35 in 6 or 6 hours?

wow what a bunch of pussies! i can inject 38 shots of everclear directly into my bloodstream, and not only does it not get me drunk, it refreshes me and makes me feel like i just woke up on a fresh spring morning.

ok ok.. i'll be the first one to say this...

Obviously if you have to look presentable to your parents, no flushness in your face, you arent old enough to be drinking.... or they are really hard core protective and wont let you.


Next question!

When used in moderation it can enhance social outings by making conversation flow easier. Also, for those of us who don't have a stick up their ass about admitting that we enjoy the euphoric feelings of drugs, getting a buzz feels good.

Oh, and because many alcoholic drinks taste damn good.

That, and men that have 1-2 drinks a day, on average, live longer than those that never drink alcohol.

I'm sure you've gotten enough responses by now, so I thought I'd just comment on how we have to add to the uberATOT-member list...apparently we're all tall, good looking, have an IQ of 150+, date models, can bench 300+ without breaking a sweat, AND we can drink a bottle of 151 and just be buzzed.

Apparently all computer geeks are supermen now. :confused:

I'm not.

The only thing I'm close to is the IQ.

I'm under 6', I can't bench sh|t, and, though I'm not really a light-weight, I get drunk after 5-6 beers.

Most people do. A lot of the people I know tend to ridiculously over-exaggerate their tolerance, then when they start getting drunk real fast it's always "i haven't had any sleep" or "i didn't eat anything today." Beer muscles really annoy me.

I get drunk after like 3. And I drink fairly often.
I don't mind being a lightweight.
I'm a cheap date :D
