How easily do you get drunk?

[ThisIsACoolName]

Yeah but you're English. Aren't you guys born already drinking a pint?

The mothers give birth AT the pub, so basically yeah

I think tolerance is a function of latitude: higher as you go North.

tagradh stayed here for a few days:

This isn't even close to all he drank. ;<
And in his defence, he was only drinking Carling because I want the boxes to make a robot suit..

I've never taken more than a few sips of a beer at a time. I've tried several different beers, and they all taste like shit. I don't care enough to actually look for $5 a bottle beers that doesn't actually taste like piss water though, so I don't really give a fuck, and the idea of getting drunk doesn't particularly appeal to me either. So somebody send me some good beers to try. For free, of course.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

It takes me around 10 shots of something 90 proof to get me drunk, but normally I get these shots out of the way pretty fast.

 

[False Joe]

Really easy actually.

Though I don't have any conclusive evidence because I always end up mixing my drinks.

I usually have a couple of pints of cider, followed by a jelly bean (essentially 3 types of crappy alchopops mixed) and then whatever I can lay my hands on

 

[NinjaGeek]

Can't really tell since I usually just get a cup full of vodka and keep drinking til I'm in a good place, then just keep drinking more whenever I sober up.

I can't stand the taste of beer though.

 

[Faint]

I get a buzz quite easily, takes longer for my to get fully drunk though.

I think it depends on how much ive drunk the night before. If i do multiple nights out back to back, i find it MUCH harder to get drunk on subsequent nights out.

Also depends what ridiculous things i drink.

Due to my british heritage, and our hardcore drinking culture, particularly among students, i often end up drinking stupid combinations of beer, cider, spirits and stuff with caffein in.

^ I´ve noticed a difference between countries with a "have a drink after work"-culture like Britain and France and countries in which you never drink unless it´s a weekend though. In the latter,people tend to get completely wasted much more often than in the previous mentioned.
It´s like,when you actually do drink,you go all the way.

Ah yes. I forgot that binge drinking wasn't a problem in the UK. >_>

 

[Blind Guardian]

I´m not saying no one gets wasted in the UK,but you rarely see a bunch of normal middle age men vomiting in the streets,for young people and actual alcoholics maybe,but not in the older generations,it´s not accepted to get wasted in the same way as in some other countries if you´re old.

 

[seedofvengeance]

I see old people vomiting in the street all the time.

Try wine.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Wine is the drink of choice when I'm with people willing to listen to Black metal. However, it's hard to fine anything other than box wine considering i'm 17.

edit: But wine is by far the best tasting alcohol, even though Beer is my favorite

 

[mutantllama]

I've never been drunk tbh.

 

[FenriR]

you what?!?

agreed, wine ftw. red wine is great.

 

[Jimm O)))]

I used to be a big drinker and had a pretty high tolerance but I had my left kidney removed a couple years ago (for completely unrelated health issues). Since then, I've been a big lightweight. Because of the whole kidney thing, I hardly drink anymore though.

 

[Matt]

Have only been drunk once or twice. I don't enjoy it that much. I like some high quality beer though, red wine, and jagermeister
