I like getting to the point before the shitfaced happens. That's hard to achieve sometimes lol.
What i dislike is when people try to sike you into taking shots. I hate getting drunk too fast. Rather drink cans
My reputation is "the only one who walks into a party with two 26'ers and walks out".
People have been posting videos of themselves drinking shots and downing beers, then tagging people to beat their record on Facebook and shit.
Fucking idiots. Has anyone else noticed this trend?

Not necessarily, they just could be bad drunks. Bad drunks are terrible and a handful to manage.

So you think i'm the one at the parties telling people to drink carefully? I took heed of the tips because my brother always would get absolutly shitfaced and ended up in the hospital almost everytime he went out and partied.
Fuck you!

What's the point of doing something fun if you don't remember anything afterwards? Especially when the side effects are being sick as fuck and puking everywhere.
Drinking to the point of blacking out isn't really something I'd want to do.

If you end up in hospital you're doing it wrong. If you read my post you'd see that I said you don't drink till you're shitfaced if you're prone to doing stupid things. I don't know what kind of brother you had, but from what I've heard he sounds like an absolute retard.

Because then you get to play detective the next day which is fun as hell. I don't drink to black out often but when I do I become a psychopath so I don't do it often. Two nights ago I ended up getting so fucked I aparntly hooked up with a fat chick and got kicked out of the bar for climbing the rafters. Wordt night ever but people telling me stories of everything I had done.

its not about the memory but the experience.
It doesn't matter if people drink or don't drink, I enjoy doing it. What DOES matter are how people behave while drunk/sober because a sober person can ruin a perfect night just as much as a drunk person. Too much alcohol ruins everything though as it reduces you to the cognitive level of a toddler after some time :v:
Only thing I can't stand is if sober people act like they are ~teh shit~ cause oooh look at me I can have fun without alcohol and give other people shit for doing it. There are lots of people like that but also very chill people which are perfectly fine to hang out with even if they are the only sober guy. On the other side I also can't stand people that get so shitfaced that they constantly talk about random bullshit and just won't shut up or aggressive people, which really are the worst.
As always, depends on the people and their personalities and not so much on the drink you're having.

I love being the only sober guy. It's fun watching drunk people and picking at them. Shame I almost never can achieve that.
I see how that can be "fun" but most of the time it's pissing people off. No offense by the way I don't know you or your friends and by the way you worded it I just assumed you don't really care if you piss somebody of with that behaviour.

It sounds stupid, and it's not like I do it every day (I've done it once in the past 4 months and 4 times total), but those nights generate the best stories. I have yet to do anything I regret and I manage to remember to drink water and eat so I don't get too sick.
One time I was passed out and literally woke up and interrupted everyone's conversation to go on an hour long tirade about how I hated high school. I don't remember it, but the Snapchats were hilarious.

I don't piss people off, I just don't drink sometimes, observe and provoke fun things to happen. Lately I'm The Wheel-Wielding Guy, so it's not like I have a lot of choice in the matter. My friends are dicks to me though, if I'm driving, someone always has a flask with nice Armenian brandy I'm such a sucker for.
My disposition on drinking with other people is "knock yourself out", whatever works. People don't need my advices or, for the lack of a better word, "bragging". Myself, I can both have fun when absolutely fucked (I'm not aggressive), and when drinking like a mature person I'm supposed to be.
I buy craft beer, then you're afraid to drink too much at once because you'd have to sell your car to replace it all.
I find these infomercials very nice. We have a pretty insane youth drinking culture here in Denmark, and it has gotten to the point where the countrys youth are world leaders in alcohol consumption of their age group when compared to other countries.
In litres of alcohol consumed per capita we are about equal to Britain, but by far the largest part is consumed by people aged 20 or below. When I was a lot younger, the legal age for buying alcohol (including hard spirits) was 15, so a lot of people started drinking booze when they were 14 years old, because they had a slightly older friend that could buy it for them (which is legal as well).
We had a series of infomercials as well last year, and that was about being allowed to say no to alcohol. There has been a lot of attached stigma to people who doesn't drink at parties for a long time, and fortuately that is on the way out.

Not everyone who gets shitfaced has alcoholism, what are you even implying? Only a small percentage of people who drink actually have alcoholism
As a bartender I feel this should be continually played on screens behind the bar, it's a refreshing break from adverts trying to be shocking/horrifying.
Humor is a powerful weapon.
Usually when I go out to the bar I always try to sick to one beer and two mixed drinks, not buzzed or dunk, but nice and mellow
plus drinking at bars can end up being expensive as hell

Some people black out more often than others.. It all depends on how you drink, what you drink, and how much tolerance you have WITH that drink (and if there's anything on the side).
Personally, I can recall being absolutely SHMAMMERED in the past.. There's no absolute point of intoxication where your memory disappears.

And as long as you keep a bottle of water in your car, coat, girlfriend's purse, w/e: you will never experience THAT bad of a hangover. Assuming, of course, that you maintain the faculties to remember it.
[QUOTE=LuaChobo;44160702]after doing a hella long hospitality course surrounded around working with alcohol and being fully trained around dealing with this sort of shit you'd be surprised how many people can't actually handle their alcohol in public, or don't understand what they are drinking

Just a few days ago I saw someone try to play a drinking game in which participants start drinking when a certain word of a song is said, and switch off when the word is said again, with 45-proof rum.
This person would have been drinking for 45 seconds had I not intervened.
