Family & Relationships How Much Does it Take You to Get Drunk

[Scotland]

So does the other fella...

They're only half a percent stronger than your standard beer aren't they? I've never found they got me too drunk. Not like a full on 7% IPA or something. I always found they are bad the next day though. That yeast sediment percolates in your guts.

Don't drink many IPAs or stronger beers so when I do they tend to do a fair job on me.

Coopers Sparkling is 5.8, Pale is 4.5. I've found the Sparkling tends to knock you around a bit because it's quite easy to drink relative to its strength.

Yeah it's more so this. If I drank an IPA I'd struggle to get through 6 because they'd leave me hammered and they can be pretty damn strong. Coopers Sparkling really doesn't taste much different from most of your typical session beers.

 

[Scotland]

I'd struggle to get through 6 IPAs because I'd feel like I'd just eaten a dinner for 10.

 

[Marklar_33]

I started a tab and got the receipt.

I started at about 10 and left at 12.15. I know because I checked my phone on the way out.

Who the hell buys a $5k watch and still uses their phone to check the time!

I find that offensive.

Someone who can't see the time on a watch in a near pitch black bar. I didn't wear that watch that night either.

Any other questions?

Yeah. How much is the watch of it comes with a backing light?

 

[Croweater]

$29.99 at Toys "R" Us if you want a plastic backlit watch.

$34.99 for the deluxe model.

Cheers, but I don't need a watch. I've got a phone

Has anyone actually had a night, that they don't remember, due to alcohol?

I've had foggy memories, and difficulties remembering things.
But I always remember part of it... and with a bit of prompting I remember a lot more.

So I never believe the people that do something really bad, and instead of owning it, just insist that they cannot remember anything from that entire night.

it was 1978, i was 18 woke up one morning in the back seat of my car under my parents house and had shit and pissed myself, my shirt was gone i had scratches on my body and my wallet was gone. i have no idea how i got there, from mates i found out i was at the pub the night before and one minute i was there and the next i was not. at around the same age i was involved in a police chase, (drink driving again, i know i was a f.....g idiot) i came around a corner spun the car 180% narrowly missed a tree and ended up on the footpath, the police were driving past but by the time they turned around siren and lights blaring i was too far in front.
i got blind drunk many times in the next 10 years or so but never that bad again.
re the first incident i'll be f....d how i got there and managed to avoid serious damage to myself my car or my parents house or even worse someone else.

This is ****ed. If this happened to you on a drug you'd never touch the shit again.

Yeah they taste great chilled and at 1.7 standards I find them really easy to get down at a rapid pace.

If I want to have a big night they're easily my first choice, but I always forgot how strong they are when I choose them for a light session at home or a quiet sixer before heading somewhere.

Hilarious watching some of my 5 foot mates drinking a six pack of them though and seeing them absolutely hammered at 10pm.

I'm not tall, 178er sort of territory, and I reckon I can handle my piss much easier than mates I have who are 15 centimetres taller. It's no bragging, but I'll comfortably have one to two beers a night and a big session Friday/Saturday so I think it's held me in good stead.

I literally just grabbed a slab of Coopers Sparkling then and jesus, it gives you the shakes or something, you can almost feel it. It's weird. I can easily have two or three pints of Creatures IPA down at their brewery in Freo with the folks, but after as many of these I'd be ripe and ready.

The Sparklings are much lighter and better beers. I used to like the greens but they're just way too heavy when they've been out of the fridge for six minutes, and just a bit coppery and lead tasting. Dunno.

One to two beers a night. Hello Jeffrey Bernard.

 

[Tigger Please!]

1 beer will make me pretty giddy if I've been working hard in the sun all day, I'm a total lightweight.

 

[St 07]

I turn into a massive flirt when I drink a bit, which is a problem when my mates missus tend to be around alot. Gets me into a lot of trouble, flirting with those men.

I'd like to see a reality show here called So You Think You Can Drink?

We could have judges like David Boon, Brendan Fevola, Mitchell Pearce and Judith Lucy.

Then we could get contestants bringing a heap of booze on to the stage and trying to drink it all ASAP to impress the judges.

We could have Silent Alarm from WA, Croweater from SA and nbaman1 from Vic, Marklar_33 from Tassie.

I'd watch that.

 

[IschenkoUBeauty]

Can usually put away a slab of beer in one sitting. Or usually an IUB night out would be about 30 or so drinks. Can handle me piss, don't bloody worry about that!!

 

[M Malice]

This is stuffed. If this happened to you on a drug you'd never touch the shit again.

it happened, and i very rarely drink anymore at all. in the last 15 years i would have had a drink on around 5 to 10 occasions. once at a wedding i had 4 or 5 stubbies and the other times it has been literally 1 or 2 beers.

The bottle of whisky is 22 standard drinks apparently so I guess a quarter isn't much really.

For pres a third to half bottle of scotch always does the trick.
Been getting more into beers for a while now though and it takes a fair bit more booze to get to the "right **** it I'm ready to go out" stage.

 

[PP34]

Quarter is stuff all. I find with spirits like that, mixing them with a mixer I can get dangerously close to finishing the bottle in an hour and a half to two hours if I get silly.

 

[Richard Cranium]

This reality show idea sounds interesting. And if it were on, then we could have a match thread every week, although that Plugger bloke would probably always be complaining that the judges are all cheats and that the only reason Silent Alarm hasn't passed out yet is because they're not giving him proper drinks.

 

[craigos]

Does anyone else find that if you go on a bender, be it a trip away with mates, bucks, easter or whatever that by the third day of drinking you just can't get drunk?

I have some mates that after 2 or 3 beers no matter the scenario are bang up for it but I never really get that energy from drinking, yeah you lose inhibitions like most but short of being 18 again and downing vodka redbulls at some sh*tty club that thinks it's super unique by having a slide in it I just don't get that from alcohol any more and haven't since I was 18/19.

 

[Silent Alarm]

Yeah and then day two of a bender you end up getting pissed really quickly. No idea if it's because your excitement means you have a large one the first night, and there's still residual alcohol when you start drinking again, or what, but I've had that. Day three is a serious effort, that's why you have to buy a carton of cider or some watery shit to get through it.

 

[Plugger35]

If you drink for a few continuous days in a row it definitely gets harder to get drunk.

When I did a van tour around Europe we were on the piss almost every day for weeks on end and it got to the stage where you could drink the best part of a bottle of spirits and barely feel drunk which is kind of scary. That's when you realise you need to take a bit of a break from it.
