brits17 0 #26 August 5, 2004 QuoteStage 3: Alcohol is part of your diet/consumption regimen, whether continuous or binge. Physiological changes may manifest themselves by higher or lower tolerance and/or withdrawal (hangover) characteristics. I know this thread is meant in a lighthearted manner, but for the record, please don't go here GFD. Its hell. In other news, high quality h20 and food in general are good starts to not gettin all tipsy soon. But for boogies, who necessarily said that was such a bad thing? _______________________ aerialkinetics.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gjhdiver 0 #27 August 5, 2004 QuoteI've been trying to build up my alcohol tolerance for LP and Rantoul but I just can't seem to get it right! I got sick before LP so I couldn't drink steadily the week before like I was supposed to. When I got to Lost Prairie I was giggling like a schoolgirl after 1 beer every night! Now I'm trying to work on my Rantoul tolerance and instead I'm drunk off my ass on one glass of wine. That's INSANE! I used to be able to drink a bottle of wine before swayin back and forth and closing one eye to post. Fukin A! It's hopeless.. I have somehow become a cheap drunk. Where did I go wrong? Come see me. I have a training schedule based around grey goose and blue sapphire gin that will guarantee that you'll be trying to take your pants off over your head in no time.

wingnut 0 #28 August 5, 2004 Quoteabsorbent stuff that will keep the alcohol from getting into your blood until the food does. not so true evnnthough eating does help alcohol is absorbed directly into your blood by your skin, stomach, ect.... put a drop tabelspoon of alcohol on yor tounge (don't swalow) and you could prick your finger 10 seconds later and detect the alcohol already..........

SpeedRacer 1 #30 August 5, 2004 hmmm, I never know what to think about these "rules" that supposedly determine if you're an alcoholic. QuoteStage 3: Alcohol is part of your diet/consumption regimen, whether continuous or binge. I know people (like my Mom) who typically have a glass of wine pretty much every evening. Yet their alcohol consumption is not excessive. Quote If you know at any time precisely how much you have had to drink, that's a bad sign. why is this a bad sign? if you've had two beers, why wouldn't you be able to remember that fact?? I've heard other "rules" that say if you drink alone, that's a sign. So that means if one evening I'm at home alone, watching TV & I have a beer, that's a sign of abnormal alcohol consumption. I think you can't go by these rules. I think you have to look at how the alcohol consumption is affecting the general lifestyle. Also different cultures have different rules as to what constitutes normal alcohol consumption.

sillie1111 0 #33 August 5, 2004 That is a good point. A night out on the town can cost me close to 70 bucks on just drinks. I usually drink martinies because if i drank regular mixed drinks, or beer it would take me forever to get drunk. I say stay a light weight you will spend a lot less that way, just drink a little slower, or make mixed drinks with little alcohol.~Shelly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EricaH 0 #34 August 5, 2004 As everyone said, it's good to be an inexpensive drunk. Get drunk, then slow down the consumption to maintain the buzz (BTW, that's one of my fav phrases - maintain the buzz). Also, my mom gave me some great advice, then in my early 20's I was dating a much older man & he reminded me of this same advice. Anyway, eat greasy foods, or lotsa butter on bread or crackers or somthing. Reasoning? something like the grease can help line your stomach - dunno, but it works. So, eat buttered crackers, drink w/ a huge glass of milk followed by a steak & then have a water after each drink - you'll be good all night long. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLFXpert 0 #35 August 5, 2004 You can do what I did in college; as long as you always have a cup in your hand half-full no-one will bother you. Trick is to drink your one or two until you're buzzed, then just keep that same one in your hand the rest of the night and nurse it. Everyone will be too drunk to notice and if they do, you can always say you've had several refills. It doesn't take much for me either. Two glasses of wine. I don't think you can really "build a tolerance" but I could be wrong. I've been drinking my two glasses of wine every night for the past year (since I entered the corporate world) and it still gives me a comfortable buzz mid-way through the second.Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

What they said! I used to hate the taste of beer when I first started drinking it but that all changed once I realized Coors light isn't real beer. Once I made a few batches of it I learned how to appreciate it. Same thing with wine. Now after being in the wine business for 12 years I've learned somthing more... it takes a lot of beer to make good wine. To be totally honest with ya I can't stand the taste of most hard alcohol by itself.. except for fine tequila. Last night I managed to have a glass and a half of some really good Argentinian Malbec before sleep got the better of me. -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.)

I guess there are still some places out in East BF, USA where you still can't find decent beer. personally, I drink for flavor, not to get drunk. problem is: there are so many varieties of delicious beer around where I live, that sometimes I wind up drinking a lot of it. (also I brew my own. In my basement I have dunkleweissen, Kolsch, India Pale Ale, and Irish Stout). now I gotta go workout more to get rid of these,uh, "six-pack" abs....well, six-pack abs in a different manner of speaking.... anyone else here have "six-pack" abs???

Push 0 #46 August 5, 2004 QuoteAlcohol tastes so awful that the ONLY reason to drink it is to get the intoxicating effects! You must be drinking the wrong alcohol then. Given, it takes getting used to. Given, straight vodka just burns and not much else and Coors Light is probably "brewed" by a large group of men pissing into a vat. However, there is some excellent beer out there, especially if you look at beers that are not meant to be consumed on wild rowdy parties. Good whisky is full of flavour. And then of course there are wines. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.
