I just got hammered for the first time last weekend and it suprised me how little it took, so I'm wondering how much it takes you guys to get tanked?

Enough to lose count...

It takes an argument that i cant logically dispute...

But, i rarely get tanked...cause ill either argue to the death, or, more likely, employ the exit strategy of no longer being serious and making Smart-Ass jokes...

(jk btw)

Several fine vodka shots (5, 6 maybe 12)...and you gotta throw in some smoke factor, maybe a little KB :D

Either that or I can compete in beer for the entire night...

I roll with the punches.

So...

Depends.

Well, in all seriousness...

7-8 shots of Rum or Vodka...

Not really sure about Beer...Ive never gotten very Toasted on it...

Not so much anymore, I fear. I can get woozy with 3 beers now whereas before, I could drink 10 or 12 and still be sharp as a knife.

Enough to lose count...

Assuming it's a high proof, 2 shots will give me that nice buzz, 4 shots would make me too messed up to skate (I'm under 21 so I wouldn't risk driving with any alcohol in me, and I skate more than I drive), 6 shots would be "drunk", 8 - 10 would probably make me puke.

It depends.

I build tolerance very quickly, so if I've been drinking one or two nights before I can generally withstand more. Infuriatingly so, if for some reason I'm drinking with beer, since I can't really stand having to piss nine times just to fit enough beer in me to do the job right.

Other times, when I haven't drunk recently, or of course on the empty stomach, I'll get trashed much more quickly and easily. Depending on the liquor, as few as 2 shots. In the above situation more like five or six before I generally quit [being able to be] counting. I usually stop at about that point. Not "Trashed" but good and drunk.

A few weeks ago, I had the brilliant idea to keep the tab from each beer I had. About 3/4 of the way through the night, I forgot to grab some, and woke up the next morning with a pocket full of beer tabs.

Another time, I put a dash on my left arm for shots, and one on the right arm for beers. Again, I forgot to count some, and woke up with sharpie on my face.

In other words, I have no idea, but will continue to work to figure it out.

set up a camera and video tape your drinking..

That's even better than the sharpie idea!

I have no idea, and that scares me.

The last time we had a video camera while drinking, my friend duct taped another person to a chair while screaming "I am not a machine". *nod*

In what sense?

Alcohol: Approximately a quarter glass of wine. Anymore than that and I come dangerously close to alcohol poisoning.

Physical pain: I am rather touch sensitive(I suspect due to a much decreased sense of smell) so I have a low pain threshold, especially for burns.

Mental Pain: I can take quite a lot of arguing and thinking through things, but I do have my limits here.

Emotional Pain: *Kyronea grabs his binky. I can handle quite a lot actually. A lot more than I used to be able to.

I thought with my euphemisms people would easily get what I was talking about

I made it to 15 my 21st, and then the slashes turned into penises drawn by my roommates, so I'm not sure if they count.

Now, without the epic college tolerance, I'm toasted off of a six-pack.

You know, I remember back in high school when we all tried to get our tolerance up to prove how awesome we are. Really, I would kill to be shitfaced off one beer. This whole "15 drinks a night" thing is killer on the body and wallet.

I can typically finish a handle of liquor (usually vodka) and a case or two of beer in the span of a weekend with no hangovers or other unpleasantness.

Sounds like me, you and Steel Butterfly need to get together for some good ol' fashioned drinkin.

More than most, but less than I think I can.

4 or 5 drinks and I'm happily drunk. By 10 or 11 and I'm on the floor puking. I generally have no more 7 drinks at a time,though.

Not much I'm a lightweight.

3 usually puts a smile on me
4 - 5 puts me in a stupor
5+ well i dont ever go that far

Let's see....last Saturday it was 7 or 8 beers, 3 shots, and a mixed drink.

Didn't feel particularly hammered at the time, but woke up with a nice hangover, so we'll go with those numbers being how much I can handle. :p

Not alot, Hell I had two glasses of Vodka with some soda mixed in and I was buzzed... ahh good times, good times.

That was at my brother's bachelor party.

I am the perennial loser of that game. It kicks my ass. :(

I'm a lightweight. It takes very little to get me buzzed--three beers or a pair of shots, probably--but I can keep drinking for awhile after that. My tolerance has definitely gone down since college, however. At my peak I could handle about 12-13 shots of vodka before things took a turn for the worse. The last time I went out I had three strong mixed drinks and a couple shots, so it's maybe 7 or 8 shots now.

It's been quite a while now since I've had a proper drink, so probably not much more than a sip of wine. :p

The same here...
The last time I drank was about 5 months ago and it was only 1 beer...

If I drink beer I get full (and gassy) before I get drunk. Red wine gives me a crippling hangover. Usually stick to vodka, which I have a fairly high tolerance to (unfortunately)
I cannot keep drinking once I've reached my limit - I get sleepy, so I can't go on all day benders anymore

I just got hammered for the first time last weekend and it suprised me how little it took, so I'm wondering how much it takes you guys to get tanked?As little as it needs and as much as it takes. It obviously depends on other factors, such as how much I've eaten. I've been in worse shape after two beers than after 6 cups (not shots) of tequila, based entirely on the fact that I stuffed myself with a pizza before getting hammered on tequila and donated blood before the beers.

Quite a lot - I was a pretty heavy drinker for ten years or so. I don't drink that much anymore but I still have a pretty high tolerance for alcohol.

Usualy about 4 pints, and then two tequlia's

alcohol doesn't get me drunk. It's the mood-altering drug that the evil pixies that slip into the 8th pint which does me in every time.

Mushroom is better for heavy drinking if someone is good with the ace. It's a similar idea, there's a ring of face down cards around a glass(which is upside down). Whenever you choose a card you try and guess the colour it is before you turn it over. When you do whatever has to be done you have to put it on top of the upside down glass with at least two corners hanging over the edge. When someone knocks the cards on top of the glass over they must consume 4 cans(4 x 500ml/17 fl oz) in 5 minutes, or 3 in 4 for the ladies.

What you do with the cards:
2-4: Drink for twice that many seconds(draw a 2, drink for 4) if you get the colour wrong, pick someone to drink if you get it right.
5: I never. Everyone gets 5 lives(keep track of them by holding up 5 fingers) and you take turns saying "I never [something]" If you've done it you lose a life. When you someone runs out they drink for 5 seconds.
6-8: As with 2-4, except you drink for that many seconds(draw a 6, drink for 6)
9: Rhyme. Whoever draws it says something, next person says something that rhymes with it, next person rhymes with that, and on and on till someone gets it wrong. They drink for 9.
10: Everyone has to press their thumb to their head. Last one to do so drinks for 10.
J: Bathroom pass(See: Ace)
Q: Make a single rule. Can override any Ace rules or previous Queen rules
K: Story. First person says a short sentence. Next person repeats it and adds something, next person repeats what the two before said and adds something and so on. Drink for 5 when you get it wrong.
A: God card. When you draw this card you are god of the game. You can order people to drink any amount at any time. You can make them drink twice as much as they'd normally have to. Nobody can go to the bathroom unless you let them of they have a jack(one bathroom use per card). You can make up arbitrary rules at any time(you can't override queen rules). You can make someone else drink instead of you if you have to. When someone else gets an ace they're god and you have to put up your ace.

Oh, and I only start to get properly drunk after about 6 pints.

usually 5-6 pints and a couple of shots are my limit, but there have been times when i have drunk a lot more usually ending up with me still being drunk in the morning and thinking it's a good idea going into uni. And this is from experience, sobering up during lectures is no fun at all.


........is miss those day:(

Sounds like a game called 'kingsen' that we play here :)

Anyway, I can handle about 4L of beer on a decent night (9PM-3AM). More than that and my stomach gets full. And I can handle quite some wodka or other shots nowadays. My Siberian training helped :D

This is why I can't drink much cider. It objects strongly to anything being in my stomach, and strives to remedy that.
