Teach Siro how to drink alcoholic beverages

[Bereta_Eder]

i've never tried it but I got this tip from a bum in the subway.

apparently the olive oil being lighter floats up to the top of the stomach fluids and prevents the alcoholic gases from getting you drunk quickly.

so it doesn't prevent drunkeness caused by the alcohol entering your blood stream (which it will eventually do) but it prevents a quick drunkeness from occuring (since it blockes the cause of it which is alcoholic gases)

pretty sophisticated bum

If yes that is equivalent to ~10-15 pints of lager or ~3 bottles of wine. I seriously doubt you could down it and not be sick let alone feel fine for the rest of the night, considering your age/drinking experience.

Unless of course you are a fat bastard of 300lbs.

In two goes. Had to pause for breath

I didn't feel fine for the rest of the night, I felt fine for about 20 minutes, then felt very, very, very drunk for the rest of the night, which was cool because it was free (it was a bet), but I couldn't talk, walk or think straight as I said. I was pretty sick later on at my mates house, but this was at about 3am and after I'd had a couple more beers when the effect started to wear off at about 1am.

I weigh about 150-160lbs, and I'm 5'9"

I can't drink any other drink like that, only vodka for some reason. I can drink 10 pints of larger, although this will usually result in me being sick. I've never tried drinking that much wine. I can't handle cider at all, it is pure evil, 3-5 pints and I'll be leaning over the toilet bowl. When I am sick it is usually in the early hours of the morning.

(Anything else you want to know about how I drink...?)

[Bereta_Eder]

I also can;t get drunk with vodka easily. i can drink lots of it and never be really drunk.

on the other hand 3 beers and I'm dizzy (and have a terrible headache thus I almost never drink beer)

[Seneca]

So what are you drinking when you post here?

[Bereta_Eder]

american imperialist coca cola mostly

[Bereta_Eder]

I don't drink much. 4 - 5 times a month tops.

[Sirotnikov]

I'm drinking out of my own choise.

Had I been affected by peer pressure I'd probably have begun a year or two ago.

I don't intend to drink alot nor do I put an aim of being drunk.

My current aim is to slowly build alcohol-stamina, so that when I'm older I will be able to drink more.

I didn't get that grapes and grain thing. You mean no to mix beer type drinkes with wine and such? Fine.

At least tell me what's vodka then - grain or grapes?


Vodka is the most popular alcoholica bevarage among Israeli youth. I guess it has to do with the fact that a good share have some kind of russian roots, and every 5th person is a russian immigrant.

I would assume people from eastern decent would drink Arak or something (Iraqi popular alcoholic drink).

Also tequila is popular.

I noticed that beer isn't as widespread or popular as it is in america. It seems that in the US people drink it like we drink coke here.

And if we want to drink alcohol here, we go for vodka or something.

Most people, and youth esp. don't go for the fancy liqours and brandy and whatever. They know vodka and that's enough for them.


So, any more advice?

Like things not to do while drunk?

And things to do if you feel overly drunk?

btw, I didn't feel drunk but lightheaded and that was when I finished a quantity of about a small glass of vodka.

If I only had Maccabee Beer I wouldn't be big on it either.

alcohol tolerance wears off if you stop drinking. And I think for you to build a tolerance you need to drink almost everyday, larger and larger amounts. Obviously not advisable unless you want to end up like that poor guy Boddington's

Like things not to do while drunk?

If you are amongt close friends do whatever the hell you like
if you are in a party or something like that don't act like a fool. It's a very common disease for anyone who becasme drunk the first time. It is hilarious, I've seen quite a few people in that situation but remember the joke is on you.

And things to do if you feel overly drunk?

Stop drinking and if possible eat something. Strong coffe will give you some of your clarity back.

Technically its potato.

In this instance it is considered grain.

I often start with beer and move on to mixers/spirits simply because they are less voluminous.

The only time I truly feel ill from alcohol is when I drink wine and then some other alcoholic beverage. The point is - once you start drinking wine do not switch to any other form of alcohol during the same session. The other thing I've noticed about wine is that it takes longer to get hit by the effect, upto several minutes - (must have bad circulation preventing the alcohol reaching my brain. )

Well in the US most beers would not be misleading if they were called soft drinks.

Of course you could also choose the Banana-option here (Pisang Ambon)

Funny wine story for me....I was drinking red wine with dinner one night, just kept drinking, didn't feel that drunk at all, conversed fine and everything.

An hour later, after a great many glasses (don't remember how much) I tried to stand up.

Well, I stood up OK, then wobbled around a bit, then stumbled to my room and fell in front of my computer

Moral of the story? For me, at least, drinking wine doesn't make me feel drunk. But I am drunk, it just doesn't feel like it.

Anyone else notice this with any other drink, or am I just odd?

If you want to know how not to, ask Hydey.

You must first learn your limitations. Go out and drink as many cans of beer as you can until you fall asleep or vomit, this is your beer limit. when you wake up go out and do it again just to make sure.

Repeat ,repeat repeat.

[David Floyd]

That was my advice, but without the intentional repetition
