My sister spent half the time trying to get me to try alcohol telling me it's good. I tried wine and some other drinks they had and I told her "this tastes like shit, why would you drink this" And then this 13 year old kid who was around (and his parents are pastors too) tells me "that's cause you haven't drank enough alcohol" owned by a 13 year old pastor's kid but yeah I still find alcohol generally expensive and not worth it, although I do drink vodka mixes once every blue moon in very specific situations if i *have* to drink. I can understand why people drink in general though PS: To everyone saying "That's cause you haven't drank good stuff", i can tell you 100% you are wrong. It has nothing to do with drinking "good alcohol" when alcohol itself tastes like crap to a lot of people (including me). | ||

Unless of course, this was a massive glass consisting of multiple pints. lol... tipsy after 1 beer? I personally almost never drink anything under 8% but even then 1 beer... I actually laughed at that seems americans don't know how to drink . Reminds me- what's with all the ads for LIGHT beer on American channels? Who the fuck likes LIGHT beer? :| | ||

I drink pretty often and substantially, but there are surely days where I feel tipsy after one beer depending on the situation. | ||

Yeah, after a hard days work one cold pint in the sun can make me a bit drowsy while on a normal night it would take multiple times that amount. I wouldn't say one beer can really make anyone "tipsy" though. | ||

It also depends on how much food you have in your stomach. The more food, the slower alcohol will be absorbed by the body. Drinking a six pack in a row on an empty stomach makes you fucked up instantly | ||

I sometimes get this, but it's my brain probably just giddy that i'm drinking instead of doing something I don't wanna be doing. | ||

Too expensive, drink colt 45.. 8%, big bottle, 5$. ->Tastes like cheap beer. -Although you will probably not enjoy the taste T_T | ||

One time I did a mountain long climb on only some morning cereal. After the five-hour trek, we decided to grab some food. Because I was thirsty and stupid, I downed a glass of beer in a few gulps before the food arrived, I was fucking destroyed | ||

You might make punch with some kind of fruity juice, orange juice mixes quite well (but try to also add in some kind of red or purple as long as you know the juice mix you end up with still tastes decent), and then also have a bottle of vodka handy (Smirnoff tends to be a cheaper brand popular with poor college students). You can add about half the bottle to the juice, assuming you have a lot of it, but I like to add the vodka into individual drinks, so you can get a feel for how much you want in each drink. You can actually add quite a bit in each drink without being able to taste it (okay, you might be able to taste it 2-5% as opposed to 40%, but it's less than beer) depending on the mixture of juices you use. Also: don't sip it. Drink it like you would juice, but don't be chugging the whole glass, you can do that next time. Beer is the kind of drink you chug. This is the kind of drink you gulp. Keep drinking until you're just past "buzzed" and just before "drunk." I find that's generally the best place to be for parties. This should take about 2-4 drinks depending on how much vodka you add in. Then, have fun. After reading the OP I feel that you're one of those people that just has to experience being drunk to understand why people enjoy it so much. Just remember, when the juice starts tasting REALLY GOOD (you'll know what I mean), try not to overdo it. At that point it's best to stop and just enjoy yourselves, and perhaps drink some water. I enjoy harder liquor (vodka, rum, whiskey, etc) because it takes less liquid to get drunk, and that's really all it's about. Some people like beer because it's just about the closest thing to water you can get, and you can easily pace yourself to get to the exact level of "drunk" that you find most pleasant. I wish you well on your adventures. ^_^ Pretty much this ~ Take a decent sized glass and put about a shot of vodka in it (depending on the size of the glass) and you will barely be able to taste it. 1 shot = 1 beer~ Serving So the more juice you mix with the shot, the less you will taste haha yeah, I did that a few years ago and I just layed on a couch for the whole party, I thought I was going to burn up Going to have the 151 w/ Dr Pepper, seems to be my favorite liquid, excluding TL its called a flaming dr. pepper because it tastes similar to dr pepper. Theres no Dr. Pepper in it. Put Amaretto and 151 in a shot glass (enough to get it to burn, or you can put the amaretto and beer together and do an entire shot of 151) light it then drop it in a half cup/glass of beer and slam it. Its like a Jager Bomb lots of variations, but when putting the amaretto and 151 together i felt like we got no 151, was much better with the 151 in the shot glass by itself. | ||

The trick was to originally only buy good beer and be generous and talk about how bad all the other shit was. Thus my little friends who hadn't drunk before college began only buying good beer which I summarily mooched while only stocking up on Trader Joes brand beers like Simpler Times and Red Oval for emergencies. I feel I did them a service my making them drink good beer and lord knows I saved on my budget. hahaha excellent strategy. yeah, i guess bigger events like decent-sized parties and such are filled with those three beers, but my friends and i can afford to buy our own higher class beers when we are drinking on our own. it's understandable though - the party hosts just need to buy masses of the cheapest kind available for people to play drinking games or whatever. i don't mind those cheap beers unless they are warmed, and actually really like them when they are cold. | ||
