I'm Drunk!

merging this into the already active thread on the subject

If I'm just drinking casually I normally just have Desperados. If the occasion asks for it though it's Jägerbombs and Jack Daniels alongside too because I'm reckless

I can't imagine my life without beer per day! On occasions I drink vodka or other stuff with workmates in hotel or with my family. I've been drunk sometimes and even to the point I lost consciousness. I puked on several occasions as well. I enjoy being tipsy but there is a gigantic line between being tipsy and drinking yourself to unconsciousness, I TRY not to do the latter and I hate hangovers.
One thing I hate in drinking is mixing various alcohols. If I want to drink beer, I drink beer only and get drunk on beers.

I don't like drinking pure vodka. I love drinks made on fruits and spirit or liqueurs for that matter (raspberry, cherry and plum liqueurs), some whiskey is nice as well, cognac too. Rarely something harder like Polish moonshine (we make pretty strong ones). If it comes to beer, I like drinking our Polish brands mostly (Tyskie, Kasztelan, Lech). I love me some Jack or Johnnie with ice from time to time if we talk about whiskey. I don't like wine much though, only one or two glasses for dinner is good enough and I prefer selfmade wine, as well as liqueur or moonshine.

spiced alcohols are my favorite.

i'm also partial to patrón because it's such a smooth shooter and doesn't taste like piss. :P

Right. A story. Okay so started to get into it in the staff chat so like here goes the worst/best drunk night of my life.

Spoiler:

Go back to last year. It's one of my friend's going away parties. She's going to get married in a couple of months and is moving to South Carolina since her husband to be is going into the military. So he comes up to see her, she invites a total of around 20 people to come see her off and party the night away. This is like the 5th party this month I've gone to with her so ya know, I feel like I've got my shit under control and totally am not about to embarrass the hell out of myself. Right. So I get to her house at about 4 pmish, we're supposed to be starting at 6ish. I'm literally the only person there besides her and her sister. Totally fine, whatever. I start unloading the last of the leftovers from my dad's bar onto the counter and start putting the good stuff in the freezer for later. We decide that since we usually stop partying and end up passing out at around 2 or 3 in the morning, we're going to try and force ourselves to last all night. Sounds great. I slept the night before so I could totally stay up all night no problem. I'm usually the last to go to sleep anyways. Whatever. Anyways, we decide to go out and get some taco bell since that's great drunk food. Get about $60 worth of tacos and then head back to the house. It's closing in on 530 now and there's still nobody there. This is already going great. I start worrying about if anyone is actually going to show up. It turns 6 and still there's nobody. I go to the kitchen and take a shot to calm myself down. My friend asks me to call one of my friends since she doesn't have their number. No answer. She calls his girlfriend. No answer. We start calling everyone. Nobody answers their phones except for one of her cousins who says she can't make it since she has her daughter that day. It starts closing in on 7 now and me and my friend have already started taking shots while we wait for everyone to show up. It's not until about 8 that people start showing up, and me and her have already had like 30 shots, jello and rum chata and stuff. Just lighter things since we're saving what little heavy stuff we have for later when there's people to share it with and laugh at as they wince in pain as it goes down. Finally everyone gets there, I've started getting everyone to take shots with me to catch them up because that makes sense. Starts closing in on 9 and we finally get everyone set to play some drunken CAH. One friend gets 4 points and then everyone decides to start disappearing and then we just take a break. 3 hours and god only knows how many shots later, we all get back together finally. I line up a shot of 151 for everyone to take so that we can at least finish one game of CAH. 1 in the morning and we finally finish the game of CAH. Some people start heading to bed, others start pulling out the stuff to make milkshakes with the patron (so freaking good) and me and Tim start clearing off the table so that we can play some pong. We both grab up a bottle of Kinky since we already drank all the or-g and start playing. People keep bumping into the table so we end up restarting 2 or 3 times. By the end of it the loser doesn't even have that much left to chug in "shame". We realize that we're all out of light stuff and then move on to the milkshakes. Start making giant cups full of frothy delicious chocolate coffee milkshakes and go to play some smash bros and mario kart. I start spamming with Kirby and then everyone starts getting pissed and a big old fight starts, somehow we get onto looking around for cardboard so that we can make swords and armor to go outside and fight with. The fridge that was filled with jello shots is now nearly empty, and the sun is almost ready to come up as we're running around outside hitting each other and throwing cardboard axes and spears around at each other. The sun starts to come up and the last thing I remember is all of us laying face down on the cement floor and then at some later point probably around noon I wake up to the sounds of heaving and then I start heaving and then go back to sleep. 2pm rolls around and everyone finally wakes up and there's just a group of us huddled together and laying in a puddle of each other's puke. Which is weird because none of us have ever puked while drinking even when we mixed stuff that shouldn't have been mixed. After waking up enough to realize what happened, we all take off our clothes and put them in the washer since none of us had brought any spares. Then we go out into the backyard in towels and have one of my friend's girlfriend hose us down before we go clog up the shower with chunks of taco, jello and god knows what else we had to eat. Great times. I haven't had more than a shot or two since since I sent all the leftovers home with my friend and then somehow all but the 151 and rum chata busted in the back of her car.

I'm boring and haven't gotten drunk yet. :V It's less that I dislike it (although seeing some other friends who are quite into drinking get drunk did turn me off somewhat), and more that a good bunch of friends I hang out with don't drink to begin with, and that there isn't much alcohol I like the taste of. =/ There's sometimes some wine that I can kinda tolerate, and I do enjoy cider, but I usually only have a couple at most. Beer however I'm yet to try one I like at all...

There is a drinking culture in Australia, but it doesn't seem quite as dominating as you say it is in England, shenanigans. But again, maybe it's just the group of people one hangs out with. The friends of mine who do go out to bars and get pissed aren't ones I see all too often.

I don't know what the hell I was thinking but the other day for some reason I thought it would be a good idea to mix cranberry juice and fireball whiskey..........



let me just say, never again.

What does it mean to be drunk? I insist that I have never been drunk, but maybe I've been borderline drunk? Am I not on the same page as everybody else?

I think everyone opinion of being drunk is different. I tend to classify intoxication as follows:

• tipsy is when you start to feel fuzzy in your head. Not neccesarily a bad fuzzy, but tipsy is the first stage you realize your thoughts are being affected. Hand-eye coordination is impaired, but only ever so slightly (at least, for me). You can walk and talk fine, although you may use different words than you normally would. This is what I call being tipsy.
• drunk is when you kind of forget about the sensations in your hands and feet. Not that you can't feel things anymore, just that the sensation of feeling isn't as prominent as it would be when you were tipsy, or sober. Drunk is when you walk differently, you might stumble around depending on your sea legs, and where most people have their strange conversations. You might have a hangover in the morning if you were drunk, but I don't normally get hangovers on anything less than a fifth of vodka or tequila. (I don't like dark liquors very much. Tequila, though. That's some strange stuff)
• wasted is the point where you legitimately can't walk without extreme assistance. Your actions are determined from urges and instincts rather than premeditated thought, and this is what everyone is talking about when they "don't want to lose control". It's not really that you lose control, it's just that you lose the ability to think and assess and comprehend and ascertain. Not to say you revert to a neanderthal, but that isn't really far from the mark, either. There are times you'll be wasted where you clearly remember your actions throughout the night and others that you'll just not remember events past a certain point - what everyone refers to as blacking out. I've only blacked out once, and I still don't know everything I did that night.

Of course, this is my opinion and everyone has different ideas of the tiers of sobriety, but this is how I like to quantify it. I'd say buzzed is maybe between tipsy and drunk, or maybe tipsy is between buzzed and drunk. I dunno. I use tipsy when trying to assess what state I'm at more than buzzed. Some friends I've drank with have referred to the tipsy state as "I'm feeling it" [/monado boy]. Drunk is the point when you shouldn't drive, dunno any other ways to describe it. Wasted, smashed, hammered, fucked up, all those are the same to me. Mostly. They mean the same state, but when I use them I choose which one depending on the situation/context.

So, uh, yeah. You might have been drunk or borderline drunk once. Didn't mean to go full wall of text mode on you XD

Ayyyy what do you guys prefer to drink as your go to bev? Or if you've never drank before why do you choose not to? I'm drinking Angry Orchid right now and I may or may not be a tad buzzed wink wink.

My go tos are Blue Moon or Heineken. I used to swear by BM, but recently I've started to buy more and more Heineken. I have to really be in the mood for a hard cider to drink that, it's just too sweet. I don't tend to favor sweet things. If I have the money and don't care what my roomie says about me, I'll mix bloody maries or bloody marias and drink those all day. jk my roomie doesn't care

I'm not fond of the smell, taste, nor side effects of alcohol. My first drinking experience was around 21 where I took shots of whiskey with my dad and brother. Let's just say I was not ready for the kick that is fireball cinnamon whiskey. I haven't shown an interest because I hate bitterness. My dad tries to recommend a sweet/fruity drink so on some occasions I have tried strawberry daiquiris and hurricanes. I can't stand it when everyone else in my family orders draft beer or margaritas or long islands, and then I have to deal with their BS when they're drunk. They're talkative drunks and are embarrassing in public. It's as difficult as trying to herd kittens.

 

[Who's Kiyo?]

so no one arrest me for being underage please

I'm not an alcoholic by any stretch of the imagination, but rather a college kid who attends parties where the sole purpose is to get drunk and have a good time. I'm very very good about my limits most of the time, and I've identified my own behavior based on levels of drunkenness and what's considered safe.

the worst has been spilling mcdonalds milkshakes at 3 am but that's still a bitch to clean up

But honestly, when you don't abuse the stuff, it's a blast. It's one of my favorite things to do, but I can only really handle it once or twice a month. I feel like I let go of a lot of filters that hold me back from really delving into my social potential.

I think it's just a lot of young people go too far and become dependent on it. Not having fun? Drink more, they think, when perhaps they should just go to bed or find better people to party with. :X

Favorites include Vodka (lighter "hangovers" for me - no headaches), and Whiskey. Though sometimes I like to get my queer on and mix something fruitier. I really want to try a martini!​

I drink when I go out with friends (usually once or twice a month) and I don't drink to get drunk, just to enjoy the night out with friends and we usually end up playing pool, laser tag or other non-reckless things. I've only ever blacked out once and I regret it but at the same time I'm happy that I was able to learn what my limit is and that I know where to stop if I ever drink heavily in one night. Also where I'm from the legal age is 18 not 21, so I've been drinking with friends for about 3 years now but we normally don't leave our houses or immidiate vicinity.

 

[Bobsomeness]

Nope. Never got drunk, and probably never will.

 

[Altairis]

Almost everyone I know gets drunk and high usually when they go out on the weekeds, so I didn't expect to find a lot of people here who haven't gotten drunk as a choice. I drink with my friends sometimes when I go out but that isn't that often. I used to avoid alcohol because the taste was bad but I got over it lol.

 

[Pepperton]

i get drunk sometimes, never high though
