you are going to see a major down tick in your recovery time and tolerance in the next few years. You've peaked my friend... 🙁

my tolerance is fine...it's my recovery time that kills me. In college I was fine....nowadays I'm hurtin' for most of the next day...badly!

That is because you have probably noticeably damaged your liver by this point.
 
:beer: plz. Its easy to get drunk and not get a hangover. Drink lots of water and eat some bread.

The next day, more water and a nice fatty/greasy breakfast from denny's or McD's. Then you go to sleep.

I get the asian flush but I've downed about 15 beers and 9 shots in an hour period and didn't passout.

How is that possible?? That's a beer every 4 minutes, not even considering the shots.

Like some people always get sick or drink like 3 beers and act like total idiots, but I've always been able to drink and drink. Sure I have blackouts a lot where I go for hours and don't remember anything the next day, but my body just goes on autopilot or something and just keeps drinking. Ya I feel like crap the next day too but the point is it seems as though my body was bread and training to drink booze.

You too huh? Yep, I can drink pretty hardcore but have a tendebcy to forget once I pass a dozen or so drinks in 3 hours or so.

Hes lying. He would have been dead or had to have a stomach pump.
 
im not a particularly heavy drinker being a keeno sports man, but when i do decide to have a large night out i tend to be able to hold my drink pretty well i get to a point where im still aware of whats going on, im aware that im drunk (so can take action to try act not drunk) and successive drinks dont seem to have too much affect
 
I can't drink more than a few beers, before I am even drunk, I am feeling sick.

Which is fine, because I enjoy beer as a drink, not to get wasted. I haven't been drunk in like 7 years.
 
There is no point in me having over 4-5 beers. I buzz quickly wheras some of my buddies can down beers all night without showing signs.

result: rehab.


Anyone can drink like a fish when they are in college. It takes years of dedication to truly establish yourself as a monster drinker (and a liver transplant, of course...)

i'm 19 and was court ordered to go to 8 weeks of alcohol treatment🙁. The counselers concluded that i am an alcoholic.

Well according to most of those "are you an alcoholic" surveys, pretty much everyone in college and 75% of the general population are alcoholics.

Yup. He probably doesn't know that one beer is 12oz.

It's not impossible to do (as far as the amount of liquid is consumed), but it's definitely not something everyone can do.

As long as you have a funnel or know how to shotgun, you can knock off 12+ in an hour.

And for some of us bigger guys, that wouldn't even come close to killing us.

The most I've ever drank in an hour was a liter of Blackhaus and about 6 beers. Didn't kill me, but got me pretty sick. Not the proudest moment of my life.
 
beer will very very rarely make me puke (im talkin 18+ beers) but liquor i dont handle to well because i drink it to fast.

Exactly, just ask Larry Hagman.

Being 40 I can still binge drink really well, although..

:music: the hangovers hurt more than they used too.... :music:

Guess that artist and win a cookie. 😉
