How many beers can you consume before becoming absolutely tanked? I'm sure Ken and Mark will reign in this thread. I myself am spent after two swigs. No fucking kidding, I just had two swills of this Trapeze Artist 8 and I'm feeling the effects. My weight eclipses Wolves in the Throne Room's collective ego so this shouldn't be. Low and behold, I'm a featherweight when it comes to consuming the Elixir that flows through the veins of Herakles.
 
I actually tend to get sick before getting tanked on beer. I'll completely fill up rather than reach a stage of raging drunkness. Oft times if i want to enjoy beer and get properly plowed, I offset it with a few shots of hard alchol. A good ratio for me is 6 of each.

Half a bottle of whisky or tequila or vodka will usually do the trick also.
 
Not sure really, I've never just drank beer only. There's always some liquor and/or cocktails in the mix. Might be something to find out this weekend though!
 
Alot of factors really do come in....with that said though I drink a crazy amount of beer and I dont get to the point "Tanked." So ...I dunno....its out there is all I know.
 
On the average though, one bomber of a reasonably ranged ABV and I'm feeling nice an warm and slightly buzzed.

likewise...BUT...then there is the huge gap to where you ar ethere -------------------------------------------------> getting hammered gitty -------------------------------> smashed but having shitons of fun ---------------------------------------> start totally makng an ass of yourself and not remembering any of it in the morning ----------------------------------------------------> all of the above but waking up on the side of the porcelain throne remembering how nice the cold limoleum floor felt on your face.

dude are you fucking drunk right now?
 
I'm bringing the booze I bought to the womangs place in a little bit. Much to her chagrin I'll probably end up using her laptop, spread eagled on her couch, buzzed, and posting on RC :kickass:
 
I wish to just maintain a steady buzz while I organize my cd collection. I just noticed that I own about 60 cds I have never listened to.

But yea, I do get that feeling from time to time. That's what I was going for at Katatonia, and imo I succeeded.
 
Before I moved to England, I'd have to stop at 8-9 12 oz beers, but now I have to consumed 11-12 16.9 oz pints. :erk:
