Only way it doesn't work so well is if you use beer as a shot breaker - in which scenario you'll get drunk up much more faster than usually - but hey maybe you want that anyway. Wine does NOT go well with any alcohol. With beer you can pretty much control how much drunk you are as it goes slowly. Greatest disadvantage of beer isn't pissing but actually it may fuck up your digesting and make you want fart and shit. Hard stuff - you can't control your flow, usually you end up drunk just too much - possibly with vomits and blackouts. Way to make it controlable is to mix Hard stuff with non-alcohol or drink fancy drinks : juice + vodka, cola + whiskey (both are pretty good). Lastly to prevent hangovers and stuff on the other day drink about 1L non-alcohol liquid before sleep. | ||

(e.g not like vodka, i like it but...potatos? im not a cossack!). So... there is my little cultural imput on drinking! -edit- also, whats all this talk of hangovers? as long as you drink water after you will be fine, aren't hangovers cause by dehydration of the brain? As long as you're 17, don't worry about it. Once you hit 20, do whatever you want and you'll still have to worry about it. And experience it. Uhg. | ||

Dissolved carbon dioxyde has nothing at all to do with absorption of alcohol into the blood stream. The reason champagne "sneaks up on you" is that you don't realize how alcoholic it is while drinking it because of the taste and bubbles. | ||

If you're going to include parts for newbies saying stuff like "have some testers 3-4 to find out when you're getting buzzed/wasted" you should include the fact that it takes a bit of time for drinks to kick in, so if they're starting to feel buzzed on their first time or so, take a break, because they might have drank enough already to get drunk as it is, and if they drink more they could get totally wasted without that intention. | ||

the op said that its ok to go from lighter stuff to harder drink, i for one have revealed that this leads to bad things, many times have i started a party with 5-6 beers only to find myself drinking hard liquor in a circle with friends after that, that usually = me not remembering how i got home, its best by far to just stick to one kind of drink all night long. also a very important thing, if you are drinking shots, try to get a glass of watter in between then, saved my ass when i was drinking absinthe, water is very important in keeping cool. If you feel like its going bad, stop drinking for a while and just switch to juice/watter for a while, fuck all the haters making fun of you, better that than just randomly waking up at home thinking wtf have i done. try not to smoke too much when drinking, i dont know how it works for most people but i just get wasted faster. i find pickles to be very tasty when im drunk. also, if you ever drink hard stuff, and find that you have drank quite a lot of it already, but you are still kinda sober, stop right there, you are probably gonna be piss drunk in about 15 minutes, no point in making it worse, WATER IS YOUR FRIEND. dont drink if you haven;t eaten before or during, you will just get drunk a lot faster, but also try to avoid overeating, you will just puke all over the place. the morning after: i have woken up many times sick out of my skull, again drink plenty of watter, and try to get as much sleep in as possible, i find it best to sleep in small intervals of 40-60 mins about 5 times a day, every time i wake up i feel a little better, but it depends on the person, showering can sometimes help too. ( i also sometimes get mad cravings for fried food after im done being sick) dont chug stuff, thats how i get most of my drinking done, fast, that can lead to you thinking you are still sober, while actually you are gonna be drunk in about 15-20 minutes, take it slow and easy or again risk waking up at home having no idea how you got there. most important thing is knowing your own limits, if you are drinking for the first time, chances are 4 beers will be more than enough for you ( 0,5 beers with 5% alcohol, thats the norm here) So dont try to show off by drinking more than you can take, it also depends on how you are built, obv if you are bigger = you can take more alcohol. ive been told ( never tried it myself ) that if you are pretty messed up, forcing yourself to puke can help speed up the sobering process, now i wont vouch for this since i never tried it. i cant remember any more now, im sure it will come to me when i sober up. Now let me tell you some stuff that happened to me whilst drunk so you know i can back this shit up ! 1) drank 1l of whiskey, jumped on a friends car, woke up the day after at noon still drunk as a moron. 2) drank a lot of wine with a friend at a party, randomly woke up at home with a womens coat on me 3) drank too much hard stuff with beer 20 miles away frome home, feel asleep on grass - woke up at home, was carried by friends, parents suspect i did drugs. there are a lot more bad things that happened that id rather not go into, alcohol is bad mkay ? Now id like to write a thing or two about drinks i enjoy. Ive talked to some of my foreign friends and i see most of them have never had Red wine + coca cola, we call this bamboo over here, and its pretty good and a popular drink, mix 50-50% most of the time or according to your own taste. I also enjoy vodka + sprite 30-70 with some lemon if you have it gin+sprite/tonic water same applies Mineral watter (sparkling) + white wine, we also drink this a lot here, its mostly a cheap way to get drunk but it can be ok too, also mix 50 50 or according to taste. Rum+coke, awesome drink, just watch how much rum you put in ^^. also someone before me mentioned the infamous * Rakija *, and il tell you, most of the time its not made out of peaches, thats schnaps, most of the time here in ex yugoslavia its made in a few variants, distiled grapes = loza, herbs = travarica, pears = vilijamovka, prunes = sljivovica, but it can be made from more or less anything ( im currently making a lemon one ) and its mostly veeery high alcoholic and can double as a window cleaner / disinfecting fluid, dont mess with that it will get you drunk very fast  .Thats my alcohol guide, i cant remember a ton of other stuff now since im kinda... but you get the picture, and also very important, if one of you friends drinks too much, make sure to take care of him and make sure he gets home safely. and dont even think about driving or i will come to your house and kill you ! | ||

Passing out is the worst as it leaves you completely vulnerable to things like being drawn on. We did that to a friend of mine a couple years ago and he didn't even notice till like hours later after he was outside publicly. Felt pretty bad after. | ||

Also make sure to drink plenty of water. It will take care of your thirst, make sure you can't drink more than you really need to. It also seems to lessen the effects of a hangover, but that's really unscientific. As far as mixing drinks and what gets you drunker, I don't believe a word of it. Drinkers seem to have this gospel of different drink strengths and mixing drinks is bad, but I've never found that to be the case in the slightest. The only truth in getting drunk is how much alcohol you drink. Also, I drink wine at parties all the time. I guess the parties I go to are just more cool and sophsticated than the ones you g to  | ||

The say I learned was: Liquor before beer, you're in the clear. Beer before liquor, you've never been sicker. -Is that saying wrong? | ||

So, if I feel like I can't handle doing shots, I try and be sly and only drink part of the shot. But EVERY TIME I do that, there's always some asshole who's like "ah ha! You didn't finish! Drink it drink it drink! Now do another one! hahaha." I can't win .Not succumbing to peer pressure is fairly important as well. | ||

He got himself mugged by a 14 year old girl, after the guard at the door threw him out of the bar for vomiting on the front steps, and lost his cell phone in the process. True story. No offense Manit0u, but I waited over 9 months to tell that story. It had to be. <3 C'mon, gimme a break here That was a perfect example of bad alcohol mixing (zubrowka with lemon -> beer -> zubrowka and so on). P. S. I'm back in shape now so I'll update the guide when I return home this evening. | ||
