Wether you like it or not, you have the most obnoxious drunkard laugh ever! A combination of a hiccup, while hyperventelating. . . German beer is crappy. One of my friends brought over a minikeg of some German beer and it tasted absolutely horrible! In all, I can't stand the taste of any beer just because it tastes like a wierd metal+unknown substance(we'll call piss) Originally posted by TaraleOriginally posted by Sinfjotle He complained next day of having a headache  you may now laugh at him |

No, I haven't. I hadn't even heard of 'em until now. I bet I could talk some fellow beer aficionados into a road trip.  |

Hey Rydain, ever been to the Bethlehem Brew Works? I love the beers they serve there. |

Originally posted by AnyaWhat have you disliked about the beers that you've tried? I used to hate beer because it all tasted bitter to me, but then I discovered microbrews. Unfortunately, my favorite easily drinkable beers are only available in the northeast (and one is from a State College brewery that doesn't even bottle their products), but if you're ever near me, I can hook you up.  |

Hahhaa..now all I have to do is remember what you suggested to me tonight! XD |
| NSNick Posts: 2013/2228 |
That's why I'm here.  |
| Anya Posts: 1047/1176 |
Haven't tried that one yet...I will try it tonight then. Thanks for the suggestion. |
| NSNick Posts: 2012/2228 |
Guinness ftw, Anya.
And I was drunk last night. |
| Anya Posts: 1044/1176 |
I still haven't found a beer that I like.
And now lets see how bad my typing gets throughout the day. |

Well damn you people with your over hyping drunkitude. *Coined*
Apparently my parents don't mind since I did it responsibly, shared some tequila with my father and that stuff is just horrible. Don't really feel like getting drunk ever again though. We'll see in a few years when it's legal for me to drink. |

I'm also a quiet drunk. It took my friends about a year to be able to actually tell if I was drunk or not. I think I have a natural tolerance.
I too have gone from hangover invunerability to getting them now.  If I get wasted, the next day I'll fell 'meh' and slightly nauseous.
I remember my first few times drinking, one time I had a few beers and probably was a little drunk, but nothing too bad; the next time I got drunk, then went to Denny's and the beach with some friends and sobered up. The third time, however, is when I got smashed and passed out in a ditch for a while until my friends found me. |

I'm a fairly quiet drunk myself. I also keep an eye on myself, so the "drunk" stuff I tend to do seems to be more motor skills related -- although I can get a bit talky if somebody engages me in conversation. If they don't though, I am quite quiet and people think that I'm "handling my alcohol well" when in all reality I've started to have to *think* about simple things like walking.
Fun Fact: I once fell down a flight of stairs when I was drunk. After I'd finished tumbling to the bottom, I just stood up like nothing had happened at all and kept on walking. But boy was I sore the next day... |

Sin, thinking is generally *less* affected than motor skills and inhibitions and stuff. I've occasionally experiened a situation where I've been drinking quietly and not realised I was kinda slaughtered until I've had to stand up. If you were reading and engaging in regular conversation and therefore concentrating on one thing at a time, there's no reason why you wouldn't have been fine based on that stuff. Drunk is also what you make of it--if you're sitting there analysing the feeling and consciously or unconsciously trying not to let on that you're a bit drunk, you're less likely to act really drunk.
The phrase "easier to be an idiot" is key. It's essentially true, but you are being over-simplistic in describing the weakening of that little voice of moderation... a LOT of things, MOST of what's classically associated with drunken behaviour, they flow from the lessening of the strength of that little voice in your head. Being drunk doesn't mean NO capacity for self-regulation and self-control, it just makes it harder due to things like slower reaction speeds. It also doesn't really put things in your head that aren't already there, so often alcohol merely helps you do things you may have wanted to do anyway (this particularly regards to relations with the opposite sex, naturally). What you've described sounds about typical for a quietish drunk, because after all, not everyone becomes a wild lunatic when they drink. (And room spinning and stuff isn't when you're drunk, it's when you're extremely drunk). The first time I drank I downed a bottle of vodka over the course of a night, discovered I couldn't feel pain and spent about half an hour testing this out. The next morning I was very bruised. |

I haven't drunk any alcohol yet, and I too don't plan to do so in the near future.
Of course, I'm only 16, but that's the age where people are allowed to buy things like beer or wine where I live (18 for distilled beverages), not to mention that many people here don't care for that law anyway and start to drink before they're at that age. I don't exactly know why, but I really hate alcoholic drinks and stuff like that. Maybe it's because of the bar/restaurant my parents led around 5-6 years ago. It was a rather quiet place, mostly not too full with people, but from what I've heard (and sometimes seen), there were some drunken people who weren't that nice at all. 
There also were a few idiots I've met back in school who started drinking with 13 or 14.. Many of them I couldn't stand because they were total retards. Now that obviously doesn't mean that all people who drink are like those. I know.. But I just can't understand what's so great about it. Oh, that reminds me of something. I have almost drunk something when I was three. I had mistaken my apple juice with my mother's whiskey..
I don't want to know what would've happened back then when I've not spat out that stuff immediately.
(by the way, I don't intend to insult anyone with this post, so sorry if you feel that way) |

I've never had much above a single glass of wine (which didn't really faze my tastebuds much more than "agh, this is bitter") on a few occasions with/after dinner...
I don't really plan on getting too drunk either, reading Acmlm's new-years-02 (or whenever it was) drunken party with his cousin Malow was enough to put me off for a while, as I don't feel like regurgitating half of my stomach. (though I would like to see just how nonsensical I'd get when drunk, but I think staying up past my limit of non-sleep shows that well enough.) |

The first time I got drunk, I was 19 and in a bar where they didn't check ID. One of my friends kept bringing back pitchers of beer, and I had about four beers. With my tolerance at the time, this got me pleasantly drunk, and I sobered up to within buzz level within a couple of hours. And I was fine the next day.
Tarale speaks the truth about hangovers. I used to never get them, even when I was the drunkest I've ever been. (5 shots of vodka and 2 Zimas in an hour and a half = slurred speech, frames dropped from my vision, couldn't read because text was blurry, felt like absolute shit while sobering up, came damn close to puking and never drank that much that fast ever again. I did drink a crapassload of water before going to bed, which could explain the lack of hangover from that misadventure.) This summer, I went overboard at a friend's party. I'd tried a mixed drink that didn't seem too alcoholic, liked it, and ordered another, and found out later that each one had at least three shots in it. Woo hoo. I'd been pretty lit but nowhere near the point of feeling nauseous, but I felt bleh for most of the next day. I felt vaguely sick (headachey, no appetite, just "off" in general) whenever I tried to stand up for too long, and I had no motivation at all. Say hello to my first hangover.  At least it was Sunday and I didn't have to be anywhere or do anything. |

I think I may have a higher tolerance to get hangovers than most people. Though, I have noticed a certain change in recent times. I still don't get a real headache or feeling of nausea, unless I have been drinking whisky and the likes, and lots of it. I just get "low on energy" in a way, and usually such days tend to be very unproductive. 
First time I drank alcohol I only had three drinks, and didn't get drunk. Second time, I had three drinks and six beers (or more?), and got pretty drunk off that. But I still didn't feel to bad the next day. And I had lots of fun, even though I most likely made an ass out of myself. Oh well.
The only time I have been close to what can be called a real hangover would be at the christmas party arranged for the pub at which I work. I started drinking five cans of beer, before the party itself. Then I had three more, along with various christmas foods. Then I had another one, and also started drinking whisky, various drinks (at this point I had decided to try everything on the menu..), and cognac. The amount of those was unknown, but counting up what little was left in my wallet, in total I probably had something like 22 units of alcohol in 7 hours. Didn't turn out to well.. (22/7 = approx. pi (3,14) units per hour.  )
I slept for most of the following day, and when I didn't I had a slight feeling of nausea, but not to the point where I would throw up. I ate nothing the entire day. |

Originally posted by Sinfjotle You are drinking bad beer. Originally posted by Sinfjotle no, cough syrup tastes bad. Jagerbombs taste like Red Bull with Jagermeister in them
Originally posted by Sinfjotle No, you just haven't drunk enough to get one yet. One day you will And then I will laugh at you. Originally posted by Sinfjotle Yes, but given what you drank, likely not excessively drunk. The Jagerbombs had the most booze in them. It is my understanding that Samuel Adams is the most alcoholic of those beers, and also the "best" tasting of them (But Samuel Adams in general seems to divide opinions, with some people who think it is disgusting). Originally posted by Sinfjotle No, it's not. It does feel good. However, not everybody likes the sensation / not everybody drinks to excess. Originally posted by Sinfjotle There is no "enough". You drink what's right for you, champ. There is only "enough" to get a hangover. NOTE: This becomes a smaller amount / hurts more as you get older. Originally posted by Sinfjotle I felt fantastic and I didn't get a hangover. It was about the 5th time where I still felt fantastic, but later got a hangover that it wasn't so good. |

Drinking excess quantities of alcohol would cause me to.. uh, die.
I dunno. Did I tell you guys I was diabetic yet? In before Wilford Brimley jokes. DIABEETUS |

I'm 19, still haven't drank.
Although the guys at work like me a lot (average age is probably 19-23), they almost always have parties every Saturday which I get invited to. But I still haven't gone to one ...
Obviously, there's drinks there. And they get drunk. Although they've said they wouldn't "really" care if I didn't drink, they're always like "Dude we have to get you drunk sometime, it'll be the greatest thing ever!" I dunno, is getting wasted awesome? I'll be honest, as wimpy as it may sound ... I'd just be afraid of puking. I'm not a big fan of puking, since I've only thrown up twice in my life, I really have no idea what its like and the thought of it kind of disgusts me. |
