I've got quite good at holding my liquor. (after a year or two of a weak stomach) I've got a good nose and taste for all manner of varying wines. I prefer English ale to lager due to its bitter smooth taste and i always enjoy drinking hard liquor. I never water it down with shite like coke or lemonade; i don't see the point and i hate weak flavour. I tend to go for double shots of bourbon or scotch.
Just recently turned 21. I mostly stick to beer and limit myself to one drink per hour (unless I have a designated driver, but even then I don't go crazy)
Kids drink anything they can get their hands on, and they drink it fast. I drink a lot more these days (with my hand on my heart, I'd probably have to admit that I've got a problem with the booze. I can't remember the last day when I didn't have a few drinks) but I never get as fucked up as I did when I was a kid. It isn't as fun, either - as soon as you can drink legally, going to a pub loses a lot of it's thrill. These days, I only really drink as much as I do because sobriety bores me. I've had drug problems in the past, and now I've transferred all of that to booze. Not a good idea.Celtic_Kerr said:
Oh god, I have a hangover just reading that. Same for me, but without the schnapps. And the vodka was Tesco value... I didn't buy it - no-one knows who did, and no-one wanted to drink it. So it went into drinking games, and I kept losing.Celtic_Kerr said:
I didn't wake up until 2 the following afternoon. I also didn't vomit, so there's a small victory there.
I'm a student, thus an experienced drinker almost by default. Assuming that by "experienced", you mean "heavy"
Also, woo! 1300th post! Only 3700 to go until Neo! (hopefully)
naw, by experianced I mean you can slam back like me and laugh at the devil that appears on your shoulder... You know Green Fairy Absinthe, how it's got that psychoactive ingrediant in it? we gt some good 80% Proof stuff once, and we slammed back two shot and then stood up. The floor rose to the occasion and said hi to my face... we drank that crap alll night and we were so messed up, but the next morning I was feeling okayJ03bot said:
I can get through enough. Although the devil on my shoulder seems to get pissed before I do nowadays...Celtic_Kerr said:
I've yet to encounter proper absinthe, just the rubbish 40% stuff you can get in the UK. Where's the easiest place to get Green Fairy?
Real absinthe is illegal in most areas actually, due to the drug (Van Gogh sliced his ear off after drinking large amounts of absinthe). So it's been illegal in the US and the UK. A friend of mine brought it over. I asked no questions.J03bot said:
I'm part polish and followed a pole during a drinking game.He had the advantage of terrain,as he lived in the city where we did this little stunt,whereas I live in a city much more to the North,and there was a 10°C temperature difference,making me tired as hell even before starting.
Other than that,we sometimes drink alot with my roommates,and we do shots.No small little shots,no,full glass sized rhum shots.Not fun.

Not particually. I tend to only have a drink or two at birthdays, christmas and new year. Apart from that, it's only the anual neighbours barbicue that I drink. A friend and myself seem to be affected by copious amounts of alcohol, we'll be matching just about everyone else and we'll be fine at 2 am (6 hours in) when the wiskey comes out. My friend's cousin however... well, she is drunk after 1 and a half cans of Strongbow.
I'm 24 and come from England. (to those of you who don't know what that means, it means that most of us start drinking at 15, and carry on pretty much till we're worm food)
