This one is for those old enough to drink (or those who drink underage)/

Stupid question.

At what point do you consider yourself to be "drunk"?

Is it when you cant see properly anymore?
When you start blathering gibberish to anybody and everybody?
When you throw up?
When you are passed out and somebody has shaved your eyebrows off?

o.o

FYI, I am the point where I can't see properly anymore, despite my best efforts. And I guess this is the point where I consider myself drunk.

But what is the "warning sign" for you to tell you "hey, you've had one too many, you're about to make an arse out of yourself". o.O

I'm past mine, BTW... I'll just be amazed if this whole post makes any sense

I always blather, stagger and arse. So my "point of drunkenness" would be when it gets REALLY bad.

Well, I'm impressed. I can't type for shit when I'm drunk, while you don't seem to have any problems, at all (oddly, however, I have no problems getting my SMSes to be correct, it might be because the keyboard I'm using for my computer is one of those split made-for-touch-typing-keyboards).

Anyway, to answer your question.

The easiest way to figure out how drunk you are, is to touch your nose. The less you can feel your nose, the drunker you are. Still, the way I usually tell that I'm drunk is that I can't manage to see only one moon, no matter how hard I try (unless, of course, I close one of my eyes, and thus I only look at it with only one eye, not getting the whole twin-moon effect). If I'm at a place where I can't see the moon, I'll just look at another distant source of light.

I don't really talk gibberish when I'm drunk, but I start talking very adamntly and very seriously about very unimportant stuff. And I also usually find some friends and tell them either how much I love them or how much they've ruined my life, depending on the mood.

In the rare case my error rate increases while typing, it's not because I'm drunk. It's because of cold hands.

Eating pizza only slows me down.

I believe my main problem about typing drunk is that I don't look at what I type when I'm drunk, and thus don't use backspace. The errors that I weed out when I'm sober, are not weeded out when I'm drunk, and then my typing skills go down in addition.

What's funny SomerZ, is that you type better drunk than some people type sober here.

Drunk might just be when you have a conversation with a VCR, and or have a conversation with a soda can, get angry at it, throw it across the room, then go pick it up and apologize to it.

To me, drunk is when you start getting an effect, such as feeling tipsy and laughing for no reason.

Very drunk is when you're having a lot of trouble walking straight, and you say/do anything that's on your mind.

Piss drunk is when you wake up covered in puke and you don't know why!

hmm... I can't seem to drink enough to be piss drunk though, I've never thrown up because of alcohol either...

I've been tipsy so many damn times, but I don't see that as being drunk, because I never get a hangover when I am tipsy.

When I'm tipsy, I tend to talk a lot walk around a bit and then when I'm close to or am drunk, I feel all light headed (still in control with what I am doing) but I know that I cannot drive (I know my limits), I walk around more and then I start to clean. Hehe...anyway, to each is own, I guess. But once you know you can't drive or walk in a straight line (which I can do pretty well, actually), then you could be drunk.

I would say that I'm drunk when I get in a good mood, and feel like dancing, and actually do dance. On the tables.

And when I wonder why the hell there's one less 100 kr bill in my wallet, panic and then go to the bathroom to search for it..

..and when I put ashtrays on the floor, and jump on them, with the intent of breaking them.. and actually do break them.. and then laugh at it.. (hey it was those long haired metal dudes that made me do it! It wasn't me! )

..and when I have trouble hearing what the person next to me is saying.. or when I can't tell who the person next to me is...

Well, I guess I'd say that I'm drunk as soon as I feel the effects, like my mood increases, I can talk more easily to people and well, when I get more talkative, because I am not the talkative kind of person, at all.

I'd say that there is no one clear limit between drunk and sober, it goes gradually.

I've been tipsy exactly once... on my wedding night, lol.
My new brother-in-law kept stuffing alcohol into me... a glass of red wine, some schnapps, a grand marnier, and I don't remember what else....

Other than that, I drink maybe a half glass of red wine every 3rd month or so... I've never felt much of a need for alcohol.


As for what being "drunk" means... I'd say it's whenever you'd say or do anything you wouldn't normally say/do.

I never really notice when I pass the point of being sober into the land of drunkenness... Hehe. It must either be so gradual I don't notice, or it happens really suddenly and I don't notice when it is because I'm drunk XP Hehe.

But I know that I actually am drunk when I just talk and don't stop, and ramble on about random crap... I mean, people always say that the truth comes out when you're drunk, but I just seem to make stuff up And then people think that it's true, which isn't very fun...

You know what's fun, if you want to have the stage of drunkenness hit you like a door in the face? Drink vodka, and lots of it. You can drink for ages without feeling the least bit drunk, then you stand up from the chair you're sitting in, and BAM!, you're wasted.

For me, it's when I start acting weird and have a little trouble typing ...

Not quite like ".damnit I,m so drybbbnjk now" where I can't remember anything I did and get a hangover the day after (which happened on New Year 2003 ), which is obviously being really drunk ...

More like when I start banging my head on the wall, randomly type gibberish because I feel like it (but my normal typing was almost fine), my handwriting gets screwy, but it's all gone the next day (which also happened), I actually called it half drunk but I was drunk enough

The second situation happened after about 5 cups of wine ... but I don't get the chance to do it often at all First one (totally drunk) was with half a big bottle of mint cream, but it didn't come too suddenly (only started feeling something after 3 full glasses, but then it came gradually as I kept drinking) ...

That's what Chris does when he gets drunk. Course, he doesn't drink that much and I've only seen him drunk once...so....you guys, keep your head away from the walls.

I think it's just when it hits me, and I just might verbalize this:

"Holy CRAP, I'm drunk."

Then again, I have a pretty good tolerance, and I'm a slow drinker, so... I don't have to be blind stinking drunk, because I don't get that far.

To me, drunk is when everything's kinda surreal. You're almost floating, or spinning... whichever you want to call it There's times I consider myself "Buzzed" (not really "drunk") which is when you feel a littke bit of the effects but can still drink a lot more. Piss drunk is when I can't type, stagger, and don't remember things (How the HELL did I get home on my 21st birthday, I STILL don't remember, all I know is I got back somehow!)

Is it when you cant see properly anymore?

*takes off glasses* ONOZ! I'm drunk!

When you start blathering gibberish to anybody and everybody?

Yeah, that could be whenever I open my mouth.

When you throw up?

Nah, last time I did that I had eaten some expired roast beef.

When you are passed out and somebody has shaved your eyebrows off?

That one's never happened.

Fact of the matter is, I don't even get much in the ways of oportunities to drink. The closest to drunk I've been would have to have been the after-prom party. Was just a little tipsy.
