So I know that a lot of people at TL are around college age, so I have a question for you all. Now that I'm here at college, should I drink? Is it actually fun to not remember wtf you did last night? Or do you like just having a few glasses?

It's not like I haven't had alcohol before. I've actually had a lot to drink since in China its basically legal for all ages, waiters offered to pour my 14 year old brother beer all the time. I've had pretty much every type of alcohol there is from 6 proof all the way to 106+, korean, japanese, chinese, german, french...ect. It basically just tastes worse and worse the higher proof is it.

So my question for TL is: When do you drink/How Much/Why?/Do you recommend it?

Drink, but don't drink to the point of having blackouts

if you've never been drunk drink w/ someone who has a good amount of experience so they can keep you within your limit. once you become more acquainted with the drunk feeling you can push your limits n experience for yourself what level of drunkenness you prefer. i drink to loosen myself up, and getting drunk is just plain fun imo. i highly recommend drinking, and if you don't like it get drunk a few more times and if you still don't like it then obv. don't do it.

umm duh?
if its a thursday, friday, saturday, then get drunk. how drunk you get depends on the circumstances. i've never blacked out or not remembered something so idk about that. but it makes it way easier to socialize.
how reasonable is it to eat off wood instead of your tummy?

Word. It will waste your parties, give you horrible headaches, embarrassing situations, and is also potentially dangerous for your health.

I would also recommend to not drink too much of high % alcohols ( like vodka for example ), first i think that most of the alcohols over 20% are bad ( except oldschool armagnac and some artisanal brandys ), but that is just an opinion and there are many people who like wisky or vodka.

The main reason i would recommand beer over this kind of alcohol is because you can really control your " level of drunkenness " it will save you a lot of bad moments and it is cheap ^_^ Hovewer if you really want to get wasted beers are useless go with alcohols > 20%.

But please don't drink red / white wine if you want to get wasted, you have to enjoy it while eating, and it is a real offense to all the people who like wines.


edit: if you aren't used to drink a lot, start really slowly, because you don't know your limits. I will always remember a friend who for his first time went in some coma and peed on himself at a party :X. He was on the floor surrounded by people ( also wasted ) but in some sort of unconscious reflex he put his **** outside of his pants. When there are girls of your Highschool all around, it pretty much lower your chance of getting laid . But he was lucky, we nicknamed him " Pampers" loololol.

Oh and try Porto ( white Porto if you can ) and Manzana.
fuck all those elitists brb watching streams of elite players.

Huh I was about to make a thread similar to this about the motives for drinking. I drink every so often (and not that much when I do) and it's just ... ehh. I don't think I have a very high tolerance for alcohol

As for your questions I will do a before and after:
Before = drinking days
Now = the last year
When?
Before: Almost every week / twice a week.
Now: Once every 3 months, maybe more? (If I had to average it out I guess?)

How much?
Before: Too much to the point I thought I could out-drink almost anyone except those crazy mother fuckers.
Now: I nurse a 3-10 drinks now depending on how long I am drinking for.

Why?
Before: I did it because it was immensely fun and everyone I knew was at parties drinking. Met/made a lot more friends etc.
Now: I don't because it is not as fun as what I love to do. (It's like paying to do something you don't enjoy that much now). (I've lost / am out of touch with a lot of friends etc. lol )

Do I recommend it?
Before: ASIOPDFJGJIASDFG. YES, AND LET'S DO CRAZY SHIT TOO. (What retards we were).
Now: Yeah, but be responsible about it. Only do it if you really like it. It's got a lot of ups with meeting new people. And is just good for any school experience to make new friends. Now I'm just a social drinker by chance rather than by choice.

Side note:
I don't get people who say they can't remember shit from the night before though. Or people who say, "if you can remember stuff from the night before you haven't drank enough." I dunno maybe it's just different strokes for different folks and some people just honestly don't remember stuff when they drink.


Anyway, go to some parties, if you like it, sure keep drinking and know where you want to be.
If you don't like it, wtf are you doing there? Give a few different scenes a chance though.

Do what you want to in life and know what you like to do. That's about it.

Unless you want tips on like, no empty stomache / don't drink too much too fast / don't mix your liquors (too much sometimes it's pretty inevitable)...
Social Justice is a fools errand. May all the adherents at its church be thwarted. Of all the religions I have come across, it is by far the most detestable.

Get high instead. No alcohol problems like nausea or tiredness, if you are underage then you will not have to deal with that. Drunk driving is also a non-issue.

The effects are also comparable, though alcohol will make you shed your social inhibitions, and weed is more of an experience amplifier.

This freshman is on the right track, however, he forgot about the other four drinking days!

All I can really say is learn your limits, don't overdue it. Some of the worst drunks I ever had were when I was about 17 and under... (excluding Sat., when UGA lost. Fuck.) There's a fine line between being a pussy who can't hold is liquor and being the retard who everyone has to babysit because he's pissing himself in the corner. Be somewhere in the middle.

Appropriate time to drink:
Every day but the two days before each exam

Appropriate quantity:
2-4 Beers (0,33 l) when taking it easy
5-as much as you can drink when really partying
0 when you have to drive

Also Testie put it right:
Do what you want to in life and know what you like to do. That's about it.

Get drunk then decide for yourself after if you liked it enough to do it again or not. Obviously this thread is going to be 100-1 yes/no ratio, so I don't know what you really expected to learn from this.

If you ever decide not to drink just walk around with a huge glass of clear liquid and drink it very slowly.

It basically just tastes worse and worse the higher proof is it.

I find the exact opposite. I'll drink low % stuff, but I would never pay for it. Anythings less that 40% requires serious effort. It will also stay in your system longer and make sobering up a pain in the ass, and give you increased chance of a hangover. I've never been hung over from just drinking something 40%.

Don't drink to the point you won't remember stuff... That's stupid. You won't even be able to socialize because you'll be focused on trying to making the room stop spinning and keeping yourself from vomiting.

The main reason i would recommand beer over this kind of alcohol is because you can really control your " level of drunkenness " it will save you a lot of bad moments and it is cheap ^_^ Hovewer if you really want to get wasted beers are useless go with alcohols > 20%.

You'll also have to go to the bathroom every 5 minutes. Beer just sucks all around if you wanna get shit done. If you just want a brewski for the sake of having one, it's fine, but it either won't do anything, or you'll need to drink so much you feel like shit that next day. So I guess I agree with you on the latter, but as far as controlling your level of drunkeness... Sips from 40%, bottles from 5%. Control is pretty equal if you're smart about it.

But please don't drink red / white wine if you want to get wasted, you have to enjoy it while eating, and it is a real offense to all the people who like wines.

Lies... There's too many cheap ass wines for that to be true at all... I like to eat anytime I drink, just cause the experience feels more complete, but I don't find there to be anything sacred about any particular type of alcohol... Anything you spend a lot of money on you'll want to save for a special occasion.

Chuuuu! Drink responsibly (entails a lot of things I guess) and don't make your friends take care of you, and you should drink until it's not fun anymore. Pretty straightforward (y)
