Drunk...

[JuniorMintz]

Oh lord. I am SUCH a lightweight. Why does it take so little wine to make me *drunk*? Honestly, I think I recall discussing lesbian crushes quite loudly in a nice restaurant today with my friends, and my friend Shelly called my friend Gap (a gastrointestinologist) an "assologist" SO. DAMN. LOUD. Embarassing. But also hilarious.

Mmm, white wine, I didn't even know I loved it until tonight!

/drunk a bit still

[TNT]

I used to be a fun drunk in my younger days. Now... when I'm sober, people rarely have to guess what I'm thinking, but when I drink, they never have to guess. This is not always a good thing.

[Barefootgirl]

Oh lord. I am SUCH a lightweight. Why does it take so little wine to make me *drunk*?

Because you are out of practice ! When you get your permanent blood/alcohol split right you need a lot more wine to get loud drunk. Drink more, and you'll get your volume adjusted as well !

[Mr. Rager!]

I agree JAM, you're out of practice. How many times have I texted you and you WEREN'T drunk?

Tonight you should probably get drunk, heal Wednesday, then Thursday get drunk again. Repeat the process until you feel you're not a lightweight anymore.

[irateguy]

Funniest thing I ever saw was last year some friends and I went to this bar that somebody we know owns after my old hs's sports stag. My friends brother was so drunk he was damn near sleeping then somebody walked by him and he yakked all over the guys shoes

[Der Cute]

LOL...

I'm a lightweight too, I got really happy one day after *accidentally* combining Robitussen and my anti sz pills (barbituates).

Woooooooh.

The drunkest I ever got was last summer at a bar during a drink-off between a few employees of my store, and some employees from the grocery store across the street (btw, we drank them under the table :D ). I think I drank about two pitchers of MGD that night.

I'm still not sure how I got home that night. I just know I didn't drive because I'm not stupid.

One time I was with some friends in the Twin Cities and we had gone out to the bars after drinking for most of the day. We got kicked out and one girl passed out and had to be carried out of the bar. We had been talking with some locals there and they were razzing us Wisconsinites for not being able to hold our liquor. I should've piped up and told them they'd gotten an early start.

[Lace Neil Singer]

Drunkest I ever got was on my 21st birthday celebration... ahhh, memories. :lol:

I actually have a very hard head for alcohol; I have to down a hell of a lot before I even get tipsy, which is a huge pain in the butt, not to mention expensive. I'm famous down my local for the most absinthe shots downed in one night, as well as for being often the last to leave the pub.

Just two-pitchers? Man... an average pitcher is like 64oz. I usually do about 92oz every Thursday night. And that's just chillin' and relaxing with my friends. And no, this isn't 3.2 beer I'm drinking. I'm so used to alcohol anymore... of course, my liver hates me on those nights.

The drunkest I've been, ooooh... so many times to choose from. Ahh well.. I wouldn't remember anything about those nights to begin with.

[TNT]

I sort of remember the drunkest I've ever been... but I don't remember why I woke up with a broken pair of glasses and a face that looked like an elephant danced on it. Nor do I remember exactly why my brother -- 20-some years later - still says, "Oh, yeah, I remember... until then, I thought you were quiet and shy... it seems you had a considerably more interesting life than anybody thought."

He's never told me everything I talked about and/or demonstrated that day / night. I don't want to know. The parts I remember are embarrassing enough.

[Zombi]

Hahahahaha...there's a reason I don't drink tequila any more. Not going into details, but my friends are still razzing me about that one. :o

It doesn't take much to get me going, but I have a feeling I mix my drinks really strong, since I never have that problem when anyone else makes them. :headscratch:

It was probably more the fact I downed them really quick. I'm sure it wouldn't have gotten to me so much had I paced myself.

I'm sure your experience is nothing like mine. It was actually a combination of that, and something else I had been drinking earlier.

It was back in my college days. I was hanging out with some guys, and we were drinking something with sloe gin in it, which is bright red. The other guys passed out on me, so I decided to visit some of my other friends. Turned out they were drinking tequila, and invited me in for some. I had never had it before, and was unprepared. As soon as it went down, I felt it ready to come back up, and made a mad dash for the bathroom. One of the girls came in to check on me just as I let loose, and it came out red from the sloe gin earlier. She FREAKED OUT, started screaming, "Oh my god! He's puking blood!" Gross as it was at the time, we all had a good laugh about it later. Much later, when I wasn't hung over anymore...


Had another bad incident involving sloe gin. We were drinking, and listening to some comedy tape. I had just taken a huge sip just as the guy on the tape said something funny, and I ended up going :spew:. All over her nice, white tableclothe. I apologized about a hundred times, and she was trying so hard not to be mad, but I could tell she was. But like the other incident, we laughed about it later.

[AirHostess]

Last time I was drunk was a few weeks ago,out for an Italian with the crew and I drank too much red wine and had to be put to bed :o

[Zombi]

No, nothing that good, I'm afraid. It involved a certain person, who was later expelled from our group. :wave:

[thegiraffe]

On my 21st, I had 9 drinks in relatively rapid succession (about an hour and a half - a lot for someone who never drank before save one or two a few times). I remember fighting with the soap dispenser in the bathroom of the bar - only to realize that it was the wrong soap dispenser. The stall doors also didn't have locks on them (for security purposes, I imagine?), so trying to pee and hold the door shut was a feat for someone of my drunken state. Doing that many many times (the bathroom and i were on good terms - and not for upchucking either) in one night is quite commendable. I didn't get sick either, and I had a wide variety of liquor. I guess I have a strong stomach, which is good.

I recently had an introduction to long island iced teas. Holy F***. Those things are STRONG, and mess you up. 2 of those and I'm essentially plastered. 2 of those, 1/2 a margarita (finishing my roomie's), a wine cooler and 1/2 shot of starbucks cream liquor = hangover the next day. Mild, but still a hangover. I was in quite the mood too lol - about the same as I am when I'm REALLY tired or REALLY sick.

I don't have any good tequila stories, though I do tend to sing and dance after alcohol. Which is REALLY funny, because I don't sing or dance sober (well, not really. if I'm hyper enough maybe).

[Cia]

Not counting the time I was 7 and drank my Dad's beer....the drunkest I've been is when I was 18 and went with my brother to the Triangle Frat for the M-Week bonfire. Tequila with beer chasers. Holy shit never again - we were beyond plastered. We were legal for the low point beer (3.2% alcohol) but not the tequila, so when the cop came by my brother's bugvan to see how we were doing he could have arrested us for underage drinking. We were in his van waiting for this kid to come back and get a ride to Black Hawk. By the time we gave up waiting for the kid to come back neither of us could feel our feet or hands, homecoming is in October, so it was an interesting drive home.

[Rocko]

Oh man, i got some stories, but I'll just share my most recent one.

It was two weeks ago at our house warming party (I and a couple of my friends moved into a small house together). I got off work at 8 pm, and most everyone had been there since 5 because my roommates are USC fans and they were watching the USC-Notre Dame game. Pretty much everyone was drunk by the time I got there at 8:45, so I had to play catch up, right?

First I drained a tall can of Steel Reserve 211, 8.1% alcohol mind you and I think I am the only one of my friends who can handle it, then came two full 16 oz.cups of Dr. Pepper with Jagermeister shots, one full cup of orange soda with shots of vanilla vodka in it, a can of MGD, and a double shot of Patron (very high-end tequila, very smooth).

Here's what I remember from that night. I remember crushing the MGD can on my head, and even if I hadn't one of my coworkers recorded it on his phone, I did a very good, imo, impression of the guys who do advertisements for monster truck rallies (SATURDAY! SATURDAY! SATURDAY!), and there was a particilar episode of South Park on that I was laughing uncontrollably at. Other than that, I don't remember shit.

[KuzcoLlama]

Well, I feel I must post about my recent "drunk event," as I finally found out what happened.

I went to the staff holiday party, had four shots, two drinks, and I'm not really sure after that, because apparently I went missing often. Two girls from the party next door crashed ours, and we all thought we were cool. Apparently this asian girl really liked me :: shrug::

Then I went and crashed their party. Marveled at the wonder that is a craps table, danced crazy on the floor with the girls while everyone was wondering who I was. I gave guys flowers by picking them out of centerpieces. And to top it off, someone handed me the birdhouse that was apparently one of their prizes. Some prize. The drunk girl from the other party (me) went home with it! It's still in my roommate's car. And that's pretty much it.

[thegiraffe]

im drunkish. my roommate is presenting het theseis tomorrow so wrer celebrating. wine and carsboard boxes yay

[Spiffy McMoron]

Wow. You even slur your words when you type. I didn't even know that was possible.

Anyways, my resent alcohol-induced story happened a couple months ago at a friends birthday party. (I marvel reading these stories, and wonder if some of us-myself included-some become teetotal) Things were going great-we'd had some beer at dinner, and went on Whyte Avenue to a bar that had a special on pints. Again, things are going great, I'm starting to get drunk, and then some asshole thinks he should buy us tequila shots. Several rounds of them. Shit.

I realize that I should go right now, get on the bus home (I'm not drunkenly walking 30 blocks!), talk to some lady about religion (she started it), almost miss my stop, and get home to the bathroom. Apparently my roommate's boyfriend needed to use the bathroom, and saw me in it. The following conversation ensured:

Him: You OK?
Me: Yeah, I'll be fine.
Him: Do you want me to shut the door? (I had no pants on)
Me: If you wouldn't mind...

He then shut the door, and realized he didn't need the bathroom as much as he thought he did. :o *Sigh* That's why I hate getting drunk-because drunk, happy, loud Spiffy quickly turns into drunk, sad, sick Spiffy.

[KuzcoLlama]

Wow. You even slur your words when you type. I didn't even know that was possible.

Hehe, Spiff, I have quite a few online AIM convos where I can't exactly spell correctly due to my drunkedness. It's all about the hand-keyboard coordination; you just don't have it with the aide of the booze! :D

[Ree]

Nothing wrong with being a light-weight.
Drunkenness is highly over-rated.

It doesn't take a lot to make me tipsy, either.
My cheeks usually go red first, though, after only a few sips of alcohol.

I could never usnderstand the fascination with getting drunk and bragging about it, especially people who post in their LJ or blogs that they are drunk while they are posting, and then they will make all kinds of silly typing errors, as if to reinforce the point.
Give me a clear head any day.

A person knows it's going to be a bad day when he wakes up and notices he sent out of a bunch of emails with the subject line, "I am sooooooooo drunk."

Total agreement here. I did a little experimenting when younger, but am now a complete non-drinker. Reasons include:
my religious beliefs (acquired in adulthood)
strong history of addiction on both sides of my family, making me high-risk for a serious problem
don't like the taste
prefer to be able to think clearly (I can get scattered enough without chemical help, thanks :lol: )
can think of better uses for the money (alcohol gets expensive)

I once had a then-colleague in her early 20s very sincerely ask me how I could possibly ever have fun without alcohol. Trust me, I enjoy myself just fine, and it's nice to be able to remember it the next day :angel: . Add to that that I'm not seriously embarrassing myself or risking problems such as DUI, getting into fights, etc., and I figure I'm best off without drinking.

[Banrion]

While I do not 100% abstain from drinking, I have not since I was 19 gotten falling down drunk, and I do not drink outside the confines of my own home. I am the DD you can trust! I am far too afraid of being either stranded or killed if I get too drunk to drive, so I don't drink unless I am staying put for a good long while.

[Melxb]

I drink. I enjoy drinking. I don't get fall down drunk every time I drink, and I think I've only ever planned to get rip-roaring drunk once in my entire life (my 21st birthday). But, if I do get drunk, and giggle and talk too loudly, and yes, even get hungover occasionally, I don't consider it bad. I totally respect those people, for whatever reason, that do not drink. I have friends who completely abstain from alcohol and I have friends who I know I can call at like, 2pm on a Monday, and they'll be like, "Shots? Beer? Shots with beer? You got me! Where?" I think to each his/her own. It's cool. I respect that.

The last time I got rip roaring drunk was, oh, last week. Not my proudest moment. My friend and I had both had really bad days at our workplace. We met for happy hour at a local Mexican food place. We had a series of apps, and had a succession of tequila, cadillac margaritas, and pints of XX (or Dos Equis) beer. After the second shot of Patron (someone else mentioned it here! Yay for top shelf tequila) and second caddillac I don't remember much. We were, thankfully, a block away from her condo, so we walked back to her place (we walked to the Mexican rest too). No driving. The hangover the next day....hoo boy....

Someone mentioned slurring while typing....when I was in college I participated in $1 pint night at a local bar. Pints of Bud Light and other types of cheap, light beer were only, literally, a $1 a pint. It was during the middle of the week too! Grrrrrr... After blowing my $5 on beer I got to my dorm room around 1am. Now, my roomie didn't mind me making a lot of noise when I came back from $1 pint nights. She understood. BUT, I had a 5 page English paper due at 9am that same morning....and I only had 2pages typed. :eek: I proceeded to sit down and typed a paper, drunk, from 1am til about 4:30am. I don't think I sobered up the whole time I was typing this paper. At 8:45am I woke up, said "OH SHIIIIIIIIIIT!", didn't shower, threw on dirty clothes, didn't brush my teeth, grabbed what I had printed out, and RAN to class. I turned in my paper and I knew, I just knew, that I didn't pass.

The next week, when we got our paper's back, mine just had a post-it on it with, "See me (the TA who graded the papers) after class" and no grade on the paper. Crap, crap, crap. I failed and I'd be kicked out of class and kicked out of school and my parent's would disown me....you know how it goes. I reached his office 10 minutes after class ended. It turns out I had gotten and A on the paper, and no one else had. He wanted to know what my train of thought was in the analysis I had reached. I was speechless, but I knew I couldn't BS my way out of this. I didt remember writing the paper! I told my TA the truth. He actually laughed at me, and said my grade would stand, but don't do it again. And I never did. I never wanted the f***k with my grades like that again. Still, I did participate in $1 again.....

[Rapscallion]

For all my size and my ability to eat, I'm a decided lightweight with alcohol. I gave it up as a bad job some time ago - about a decade?

One can and I was anybody's.

Two cans and I was nobody.

Three cans and I was a body.

Not being able to take it was one thing, but then I was in a crap-paying job, didn't enjoy getting even properly squiffy, and I didn't like the taste of most alcoholic beverages. It was either booze or the Internet - I knew which one I preferred.

[Crazyredhead]

My last drunken episode was...uh...ummm...I don't remember.

I don't drink much anymore. Maybe a glass of wine every 6 months or so. Mostly it is because of the medication that I am on. But I do have a pint of JD in the cupboard that has been there for almost a year.

Actually, I am afraid to get drunk anymore. I literally attacked my hubby one night (a long time ago) and took some. I get very hostile and horny when I drink. I don't drink beer (yucky), I love whiskey or wine. I do things when I'm drunk that I normally wouldn't do any other time, and it can be embarrasing.

Kinda like the movie "Blind Date" where the girl is allergic to alcohol and goes buck wild and puts her poor date through hell.

[Lvl_9_Gazebo]

Hello, my name is hauntedheadnc, and I am not an alcoholic.

People in the crowded basement: "HI, hauntedheadnc!"

Here I am, about four months into my 26th year on earth and I've never once in my life been drunk. All totalled, I believe I might have drunk perhaps three or four glasses of red wine since I turned 19.

The reasons for this include detesting the taste of alcohol, a very bad car accident when I was four or five that was caused by a drunk driver slamming into us, and having evil relatives in my ancestry who had a tendency to try to murder the other members of their family after getting good and sloshed. Add it up and I figured there weren't enough good reasons to make myself drink something that tasted repulsive when there was the chance that my homicidal tendencies could come out, or I could do to some other family what was done to mine.

That, and my liver is under attack enough as it is from the medications I take, so there's no need to make that worse either.

So here I am. I don't drink, don't smoke, and have never done any sort of drug that wasn't prescribed. Tattoo some wings on my back and call me Monica because I'm a perfect lil angel.

[AFpheonix]

Mmmmm.....might I recommend some Absolut and butterscotch snapps? Soooooo tasty....I've had a small glass and if it wasn't for the backspace key, I'd be making an awful lot of typos right about now....:lol:
