I don't think it is legal to drink outside here either, maybe beer gardens. It doesn't stop many however. Life will always find a way. Perhaps we made the mistake of carpeting our pub floors as opposed to American bar's hard, polished floors. Gravity is a harsher mistress when the floor isn't cushioned, whether that matters much to the highly innebriated. It certainly does in the morning. There is the hair of the dog, which can help ease a hangover if done...errm...responsibly and slow. But still mainly unpleasant. Sorry, liver! Hopefully all that training has protected us from future poisons.carlsberg export said:
Whenever I drank at home I used these to hold my drink of choice
They hold like 16 fluid ounces I think.
My first drink would be about 50% vodka and 50% mixer.
That would be enough to give me a slightly warm feeling in my belly.
2nd would be about 60/40. After that I'd be at "tipsy".
Third would be 75/25. After that I'd be drunk, but not "falling all over the place" drunk.
4th drink would be almost all vodka with just enough mixer to add some color, if I even used a mixer by that point.
After that I'd be too drunk to walk in a straight line, and standing without falling took lots of effort.
I'd start puking or blacking out somewhere during drink 5.
I usually pounded all of these back within 1 or 2 hours.
I was not a responsible or healthy drinker xD
But I don't drink anymore, so hooray for that!

I can put away about 400 milliliters of anything 80 proof or around more than six beers, but that generally that makes me sleepy, so going to sleep stops my drinking. I tend to over indulge though when I do get alcohol, at least in terms of overall duration, so I limit my indulgences. I tend try to avoid getting into seriously drunken stupors, instead going for a sustained buzz.
I only got too drunk once, i sucked in an entire bottle of whisky and spent a few hours on the shower floor
I have drunk entire bottles of vodka with only medium intestine ruining discomfort
I have never "blacked out" or lost my memory when drinking... strange, the only time that happened is when i took an amount of sleeping medicine, fucking terrifying.
I stopped drinking when mom told me to
Sure was fun to play deus ex drunk

I don't drink that often... But when I do, it's usually glasses of cider... I can go 3 whole glass bottles of cider (4 if I'm eating pizza and 2 if I'm in a Jacuzzi) before I start realizing that I'm drinking alcohol in general... However, if I'm on the verge of getting sick beforehand, then it only takes 1 glass bottle before I start throwing up like I drank too much...
Other than that, I prefer drinking on Saturdays and I sometimes mix my cider with the sodas I mixed together beforehand...

Welp, I landed myself in AA by the age of 19, so that's probably not a good sign. I was mixing far too much alcohol with antidepressants at the time, so that didn't help.
When visiting old friends I way overdid it and ended up with a skull tattoo on my shoulder and a splitting headache. It's amazing how easy it is to let an old friend talk you into letting him tattoo you after a few drinks. It's nasty business, but I don't trust anyone who hasn't thrown up at a party at least once.
I've come a long way since then though, I've adjusted my medication and only drink in moderation now. My 21st birthday came and went a few months ago and I haven't overdone it once, much less visited a bar.

I drink as often as money allows me to. Drink of choice is bourbon and coke, but that shit's expensive, so I'll often go with beer or cider as a cheaper alternative. Pretty sure I have a decent tolerance, but there's a point where I go from fully in control of what I say and do, to not caring the slightest about what I say or do, and once past that point the night is going to end badly if I don't stop right then. Still, only thrown up three times, and only once have I experienced any memory loss, so could be worse.
Nope, it is legal to drink in public in the UK, except for designated areas where the police can ask you to move on/stop drinking.

I'm not a huge fan of drinking but do drink occasionally, I've really only been drunk 3 times with one time being my first time drinking ever, in which I got drunk because I was having a lousy time and I had a fairly big alcohol collection that friends and family had given me, so I decided to try 5 different drinks and I got very depressed, it was weird, I spammed the shit out of this forum when that happened, the second time was while hanging out with my ex-girlfriend, we were just having a good time, I don't know how much I drank but I was merely tipsy and the third and last time I drank, was on January of this year, I was having a farewell party with some friends because I was moving out to another town and I just said "Fuck it" and drank half a bottle of vodka, it was pretty big, I couldn't stand, I vomited, I fell asleep in a couch and the buzz took around a day and a half to go away.

Between two or three beers a day, and as much whisky/rye as I can afford... or remain awake for. On the plus side my tolerance is so low this merely takes an hour or so after which I'm blissfully unconscious. And more often then not lacking in a modicum of clear memory. Ah booze, teaching 'how to forget' lessons practically since booze. Yea!
Moonshine is dangerous. And Absinth isn't drinking it's... I don't know what it is, but you can't call the act or its result drinking in any conventional sense of the term.
I also occasionally indulge in cheap brandy and sake.
So if your drinking in Canada I'd advise tallboys of Maclays and as much J.P. Wiser's Deluxe as you can find... assuming you don't want to remember anything. Cheers and happy forgetfulness!
One is not likely to get arrested for public drunkeness unless one is being an asshole... Or the cop is racist.carlsberg export said:Nope, it is legal to drink in public in the UK, except for designated areas where the police can ask you to move on/stop drinking.

Its sorta law we have so cops can arrest people being jerks.
Im torn between my live of doing it and my love of staying alive. Ya know? Gotta cut that shit out or ill be dead in ten yearsNamehere said:
Away with you, foul agent of Satan! Man that shit and I do NOT have a good relationship: too many Jaegerbombs in my misspent youth.AccursedTheory said:When I was young, I used to binge drink myself into a stupor. Part of it was being in the Army, part of it I was stupid, and another part was that I can't stand the taste of alcohol, and I can taste a drop of it in a 55 gallon drum. The only time I could stomach the stuff was when I wanted to get completely shit faced.
When I turned 21, me and some friends went out bar hopping. I got drunk beyond reason, became friends with a dead armadillo, and passed out standing up. I fell and hit my head on a bambo floor, and got what a neurologist described to me four days later as a 'massive concussion.' Split my brain in two places, and was told I was lucky I could breath without drooling all over myself. They told me never to drink again, simply because if I ever got drunk and fell down again I'd probably end up brain dead.
The only booze I've had since then was one glass of wine, when an associate of mine died during the first Fort Hood shootings.
Hmmm... I have a fairly impressive resistance to drugs in general, and alcohol in particular. So... This is for tipsy.
And these are for drunk.
Now a days, a tall, ice cold glass of cider is my go to drink except for tonight my wife and I toasted the birth of my best buddy's son with neat scotch. That said, if I want a liquoer tipple, Bailey's Irish Cream over milk - unless my grandmother has made her own batch, then I take it neat cos it's like drinking whiskey and chocolate cream.
One bottle of whine in short burst(say, less than half an hour) is enough to get me really wobbly, but not drunk. I don't really do drunk, not since the accident. I can drink about 2-3 bottles of whine in alcohols worth in a single evening without losing consciousness, or about a single bottle of hard liquor, but don't ask me to stand/talk/walk/sit/anything properly after that.
I don't know what's light and what's heavy, but it usually takes at least 300mL of straight spirits skulled to affect me, or add another 100mL or so for every hour spent drinking. And then it all hits at once; the regret stage, the tipsy stage, and all the other problems. There's probably only about 20mL in Spirits between the stages, if that. Until then it just makes me more talkative, though I can still walk perfectly straight, see fine, and make mostly sound judgements [The only unsound one being to keep drinking, and then only when I'm in a shit mood], even if I spend 3 hours drinking and sit just under that limit for most of it.
That said, these days I dislike alcohol. Don't like the taste, the smell, or how other people behave under its influence. In general, I avoid it. Used to drink heavy, but these days it just makes me sick to think about it. And no, no horrible drinking memories that bought it on, I just grew out of it as such. That said I'm at the age group where everyone around you still thinks its a great idea to binge every chance they get, so I'm not exactly a fan of going out that much anymore either.

If you want scary booze, try Soju. Its a Korean liqueur you can drink like water, and feel almost nothing. Until you stand up and try to go to the bathroom, at which point you go from fine to fall down drunk in about half a second.TheLaughingMagician said:
I keep being told that the amount I need to get drunk is too much, and furthermore, that I do it too often. Clearly, meat-plebs don't understand the superiority of clockwork.
