How easily do you get drunk?

[Krigloch the Furious]

It doesnt take a ton for me. I dont drink that much in the first place.
5 beers or so and Im good

 

[seedofvengeance]

I'm the exact opposite... I wish I could increase my tolerance because I play drinking games and like to drink with friends.
As stupid as it is, it's almost like a point of pride.

I find that cause i smoke lots of weed when i drink that there's a constant power struggle between the beer and smoke,alot of the time i'll feel this piss a bit but the dope always seems to leave me in a kinda limbo between the two and it's not uncommon for me to just say fuck it and go to bed

 

[cookiecutter]

I never have the desire to drink alone besides the occasionally beer, which is more like drinking soda tbh.

 

[Catastrophic]

Another, how many of you drink but don't smoke? I don't smoke at all because i can't stand them but I love to drink. Does drinking have a link to smoking? Some of my friends say i get drunk slowly because I don't smoke. I don't think so it's true though since his claim has no basis.

 

[CAIRATH]

I don't smoke.

And yes, that claim your friends make seems pretty dubious to me.

 

[cookiecutter]

I don't smoke (cigarettes or pot) because I think it's gross, but I drink occasionally

 

[seedofvengeance]

When I smoked regularly, I didn't notice a real link... it's just compounded by the weed so they feel more fucked up.

 

[cookiecutter]

But nothing as accessible

 

[CAIRATH]

Better is a rather relative term.

 

[seedofvengeance]

True, there are those who would say pot is better than alcohol, to those I would have to vigorously disagree.

 

[Catastrophic]

Pot is illegal in my country so pot is not a solution here. I'll stick with alcohol.

 

[JontRevolting]

I love pot and beer but i think the secret,especially when drinking(i'm a reformed cigarette smoker)is to limit yourself otherwise it takes away the delicious drunk feeling and leaves you feeling like shit a bit depending on the quality, although i think i just love the sensation of smoking bongs when drunk no matter what the weed's like,most of the time i still enjoy myself though but herb definately makes it harder to get pissed

 

[Satanstoenail]

I get drunk easily when I'm feeling worn out & tired, which lately is most of the time. I've become 'that passed out guy' at many a party in the last year or so.

 

[seedofvengeance]

It's illegal here too, but that doesn't stop anyone.
Pot to me is good in just a group of a few, because you can sit and have an intellectual conversation with someone about stuff you would never think about otherwise. If there's more than 3 people, though, or you're in a party atmosphere, it just ruins it imo.

Also, I get tested at work randomly, so that kills it too.

[MasterOLightning]

5-7 drinks is usually a nice amount for me. That varies depending on how strong a beer, or drink is, etc., but I generally won't have trouble finishing off a six pack in a night if I'm intent on it. Drinking does not generally make me tired.

There are plenty of times where I don't drink with the purpose of getting more than a little buzz, so 2-3 beers or a glass of whisky is fine.

I never smoke anything, so I can't comment on any correlating factors with drinking. There are plenty of obvious reasons why smoking is not as good though.

 

[Catastrophic]

I really don't get smoking but drinking is just in my blood. Everyone drinks in my family(with the exception of my sister and my mum)

 

[seedofvengeance]

Well, I realise that alcohol's better for parties. It has a well-deserved reputation for making people more outgoing and talkative. I thought maybe you had some other reason for saying it's better than weed.

Nah, other than that it makes me tired faster. I would smoke more, but like I said I get tested, so I've just grown more fond of alcohol.

 

[CAIRATH]

Pot to me is good in just a group of a few, because you can sit and have an intellectual conversation with someone about stuff you would never think about otherwise.

I live in a shared house where almost everyone aside from me and my girlfriend is a pothead so I've witnessed many of those discussions. I think it's pretty safe to say they only appear intellectual to other people who are also high.

 

[seedofvengeance]

Yes, but they aren't meant to appear intellectual to anyone else. As long as they entertain me for the time being, I don't care.
