Social Science Pre-drinking, and techniques within.

[walshy93]

Hey guys,

Just thought I'd pose the question to a bunch of random fools on the internet. The question is, how do you pre-drink?

Do you pre drink just socially until it's an acceptable time to go out? Or do you get sloshed at pres so you don't have to buy many drinks when you are out?

Do you pre-drink with friends or alone? Do you and your mates have any methods which increase potential of a good night (certain drinks, amount consumed before going out)?

You want a buzz from pre's, but you don't want to be too sloshed so that you won't get in... you also don't want to much of a buzz which will mean that you peak early.

As a general rule, about three standard drinks over the course of an hour seems to be the right amount to kick-start your night.

Make sure to alternate between water and alchohol to stay hydrated.

Also a bit of tea cake or slice of cheese pizza also helps

sounds about right to me....

does anyone else pre drink on their own??

me and my good mates do, and most others things we are a bit weird for that....

Empty Goon Bag makes an ideal pillow when they have to roll you on your side to stop you choking on the days takings.

The earlier you start I think the less of a buzz you get

If I start drinking at 2pm, and keep drinking all throughout the night I never really get sloshed, just slowly deteriorate and eventually just drunk but bored/flat drunk

If I start at around 7-8pm by about midnight I've got a pretty good buzz that'll carry me through until about 3 before the crash and burn

Never start drinking on my own, I've probably had less than 10 drinks in my life on my own

Get sloshed, go out and get more sloshed.

You're doing it wrong.

The longer the night goes on, the quicker you drink. Eventually you get to that really euphoric messy state, that's when the magic happens.

Depends where your going and if the doormen are nazi's or not with letting in pissed people, and drink accordingly.

Water is absolutely crucial for and nearly everybody doesn't drink enough day-to-day, when your on the piss and/or plan on dropping something later in the night you really need to guzzle it down. Food and sleep also need to be managed feel, especially if your planning on having say a 12 hour session.

Drinking by yourself gets a really bad wrap, this stigma like its supposed to imply you have a drinking problem, i would almost say the opposite, if you need to be around people to have your 1st couple of drinks that seems very weird, if i work all saturday get home @ 4, am getting picked up at say 6:30-7 what should i do for two hours, sit around and pray like a good boy? Or knock back a couple while watching footy/playing xbox etc?

This.

I usually go to a mates place an hour or two before we're due to head out. I pretty much drink beer exclusively, so I'll take a sixey. Five or six beers in those two hours, complimented with some footy or soccer on the TV or some FIFA, is always a good place to start.

I dunno, I don't think it's that hard. Don't think too much about it. Just have some laughs and a few brews.

(If you smoke weed, try and avoid that. It'll make you feel really weird about going out...)

 

[A Swallow]

Honestly, I f*cking LOVE pre-drinks. Always guaranteed win of a time, whereas the night out clubbing/pubbing can sometimes be a let-down for random reasons. Pre-drinks never let you down (and occassionally end up becoming the main event, if you have enough people there or it gets too loose. Unreal ).

Usually with a couple of boys (sometimes girl mates as well if we're at a hotel in the city), generally some FIFA or whatever decent sport is on live at that time. Lasts a couple of hours before heading out. If time is short, usually a game of Kings, Flip Cup or F*ck The Bus is initiated to ensure a handful of drinks are consumed prior to departure.

 

[Tulip]

Vodka and chasers for about an hour.

Crucial part of pre's would be when your body is starting to register you've been drinking and slows down, but you don't feel buzzed. Drink no more and you're decent, a reasonable amount more you're euphoric and too much more you're by the toilet.

Two quick cups of water before heading out.

 

[treefingers]

Depends on how long it takes to get to the club/pub... if heading into the city I'll have a few more to keep the buzz going on the long ride in

Usually a 6 pack will do though.

And agree with A Swallow, pres can usually end up being the best part of the night

if it wasn't for the prospect of sechsing happening, i would hardly ever drink in a pub.... and i go to about 3 clubs a year anyway.

house parties though. they are the way forward. cheaper, control your own music, generally don't deal with ****heads, and you're pick up rate is much higher than in the outside world...

House parties FTW.

FTR, I don't drink.

I love these sort of things.

The congregation of old mates sinking a few here and there whilst playing a bit of stick, couldn't ask for more.

There's been a random massive influx of house parties in my area with people around my age in the last couple months, so awesome, spend like $20 and get maggot. Clubbing, usually have about 10 SD over a couple hours at a mates place, head out at around 10. 30 and still spend $150ish

 

[Natho]

Smash it hard and take it from there.

 

[Cruyff14]

Few years ago used to get tipsy, so I would spend less.

Now I have two or three (depends how big the night is going to be).

Will start alone, to be joined by friends. Only start an hour or so before we head out.

Predrinks are usually the best part of the night for me.

Personally, heading out has a success rate of fifty percent of being fun and maybe a twenty percent or less chance of it being an awesome night. Under ten percent chance of it being a night you talk about with your mates for months afterwards.

Whereas predrinks has a ninety percent chance of being fun and well over fifty percent chance of being an awesome night.

My predrinks will usually be less about drinking and just having a good time. Always try and get the boys around earlier for some gaming or watching footy and a beer or two and then make sure the girls rock up later and just hit some music and have a few more.

When I was young (18-21) I'd look to hit 8+ beers before heading out. That would give me a good buzz. Nowadays, no more than three over the course of two hours or so.

Lulz at every one saying how they have a better time drinking at home with friends.

Maybe just do that then?

as said, it's the prospect of sechsing and the lure of tang that make you go out.

sad but true.

not entirely, but it's a pretty major part of boozing.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Pre-drinks > Going out. I miss being under 18 and going around to mates' houses every weekend, getting pissed and having fun. Then everyone turned 18 and now they suddenly want to go out to the city so we can all overpay massively for alcohol and listen to shit music on the off-chance they might pick up even though they're all shit at it.

my group uses this mad beer-bong we made. we are also currently in the process of creating the 8-funneled beast known as OCTABONG !
