*edit* Foreward: This thread was originally created to wish Tolo a happy 21st birthday, but the talk quickly turned to alcohol, and the boozehounds felt this should be the benchmark thread for all personal alcohol related talk.

You made me a thread, so it's time to return the favor! Congrats on reaching the big 21! Do you have any special plans?

Happy birthday, darling. Nothing to look forward to now besides the insurance break at 25 and retirement. Although, I hear mid-life crises can be invigorating.

Welcome to legitimate adulthood. Of course, some might argue that doesn't actually begin until 30...

Thanks everyone.

I celebrated early on Friday. My friends took me out to this pizza place/bar called BJ's and I got pretty destroyed. My friend bought me a drink called liquid cocaine...It's Bacardi 151, Jager, and Goldschlager. It didn't taste bad but it was like a 6 ounce shot. It was huge as fuck and it killed me. I had few other drinks and some beers there. The place closed at 12 and we rolled out to this place called Hawaiian Blues. All I remember is walking in the door and then walking up in a parking lot at 4AM...Alone! I'm not too sure what happen but I got kicked out for either throwing my beer at the bartender for giving me the wrong beer or dropping my beer and spilling it on the bartender. I supposedly said I would get a ride home but I didn't. My friends went looking for me for like an hour and they couldn't find me, so they took off. I managed to get a ride home from the place in about 5 minutes though.

I cetainly learned my lesson that day. It was funny, scary, and stupid all at the same time. It was pretty moronic and I don't plan on getting that out of control for at least a couple hours. ;) I honestly learned from that mistake and don't plan on letting something like that happen again...Hopefully.

I'm going out tonight with some friends and family to celebrate.

Thanks again, guys and gals.

So I made it out of my birthday night alive! I made plenty of drunks but made sure to keep it in control. Plenty of people offered to buy me drinks, so I had to spend very little money. I had this like 40 something year old wanna be youngster buy me a Jager bomb simply because we were from the same city! It was pretty fun and I'm glad I will remember it.

Once again, thanks everyone who wished me a great times because I certainly had them. Most of my friends had to work or go to school tomorrow but I made due with the great people I had.

Random: I was talking with a bartender and we spoke about how little there is to offer for grape lover beyond wine. I had a grape...ish martini and it was fucking great! Also, Blue Moon + Orange Garnish = HEAVEN!!!!

Thanks again!

It actually wasn't too fruity. It was just the normal beer with an orange slice. It tasted great after all the crappy sweet drinks everyone kept buying me.

Typically I polish off a bottle of whiskey on Friday nights. Then I spend my entire Saturday drinking beer (PBR). During the rest of the week I don't drink at all and from those two days of drinking I don't normally get any hang over. Typically I'll wake up early Sunday and get breakfast to go from down the street and eat in front of the TV.

I'm a regular lush. I typically don't drink on weekdays, but will occasionally polish off a bottle of wine if I'm feeling like it. On weekends, I tend to rock the vodka with Collins Mix or tonic and lime...Because, apparently, I'm 65. On Sundays, I'll often spend the day at the sports bar with the boyfriend and drinking Redhook ESB. The boyfriend doesn't drink, though...So I reckon my drinking will slowly taper off.

Until then, however, as you can see, my drinking is varied and regular. :p

Tolo, buddy...Sounds like a hell of a birthday night out with the friends. Glad you made it through okay. :)

I drink for sport! It doesn't matter what night of the week, and I have frequently gone to work hungover. I am the master at that shit. In fact, I got so hammered last night that I don't even remember going to bed. I'm not hungover right now because I went to bed at like 9pm, so I got a good 9 hours of sleep.

I am not proud of my drinking, but I come from a long line of functional alcoholics, and I'm just doing my little part to keep the bloodline going. :rofl:

Seriously, I've never not been able to quit when I need to (usually pregnancy), and I drink mostly because I can't sleep otherwise. I will literally lay there all night and either freak myself out or just think about shit over and over and over. Insomnia is a bitch.

Yeah, I quit drinking for YEARS after I got the shakes when I was 22 and had been without for 48 hours. It wasn't traumatic or anything, just a good eye-opener.

However, me and some friends did watch a homeless drunk go through DT's in the woods. We watched him throughout the day (hey, we were only 16) and marveled at how deliciously TERRIBLE the whole ordeal looked. We finally got him a bottle of some Night Train, thinking it would miraculously cure him...like turning on a light switch or something.

My friend used to work at a wine/liquor shop. There was a back yard and it was a place to hang out some days. It was depressing to see people come in during the morning hours and make return visits till closing, getting more and more fucked up, only to repeat the behavior the next day. The owner INSISTED no customer be refused too, which sucks, but he was drunk all the time too. Very sad.

From www.findadeath.com:

On Saturday September 16th, Paula was going about her business. She had a strange habit of going to the local off license (liquor store) in the nearby Westbourne Park Road, and buying tiny bottles of vodka (I am not a drunk. I am not a drunk.), sometimes up to 6 times a day. This day was no different. Around 2pm and 4pm, again around 6pm, then 10pm, she wandered over (its only a 2 minute walk) barefoot (very odd) over this crosswalk, and bought little bottles of vodka. At the 10 o'clock stop, store owner Zhahid Shafi said she was "barefoot, her hair was scruffy and thought she wasn't very drunk, she was certainly tipsy." "She was very, very down and speaking slowly. I asked her, 'Do you need help?' She said, 'I've got problems but I'll be OK. I'll see you tomorrow. I'm in a hurry." She bought kitchen cleaner and furniture polish. They were the last legal substances she would buy. Here is a picture of the door of the shop, note the headline of the newspaper ad. This was less than 48 hours after her body was discovered.

UPDATE Monday Sept 25 - Myself and my buddy Ryan went back to Paula's house on Saturday evening. First we stopped in a few pubs, so we were pretty juiced, then we went to the off license. I went in and asked for a "bottle of Paula Yates vodka." I know. How ashamed am I? Okay, not much. He sold me this bottle. Remember, this is the evening of her funeral. God, I'm tacky. Then I asked the guy behind the counter about Paula. He said she was a very nice woman. Then he said, and I swear you cannot make this shit up, "I'm going to miss her. She was a good customer. I'm going to lose a lot of money." We were buckled over laughing. Okay, its not that funny, but how funny!

Word. I know a guy who used to have a multi-million dollar interior painting business (and was a talented artist on the side) who can no longer hold a paint brush straight to save his life. Of course, quitting drinking at this point would probably kill him.

Frankly, he doesn't have long either way. Shame, too. The guy's brilliant. Just goes to show that intelligence and common sense aren't synonymous.

I try not to drink too much anymore. I'm a generally happy drunk, but I've had a few times where I've completely blacked out and have no memories of the events. I hate not being in control of myself.

The last time it happened was before Halloween last year. My wife and I went to a party that a friend of hers was throwing. I hadn't really planned to drink anything but my wife offered to drive home. We brought a pint of AfterShock which I started on when we got there. About ten minutes later, I had finished off the pint and was filling it up with vodka.

So, I down the pint once again, this time filled with the vodka. Vodka and cinnamon doesn't mix well.

Anyway, I'm obviously turning by this point. I'm not completely wasted but I'm getting there. Just to put it into perspective for you, my wife and I went to a nightclub/bar a few weeks back and I threw down 17 Miller Lites and was still completely coherent. I'm a big guy and it takes quite a bit to get me drunk.

Anyway, after the vodka, someone broke out the tequila which I'm a sucker for anyway. We started doing shots of it and I probably took about three shots. Keep in mind that all of this has happened in about 45mins to an hour or so.

After the tequila was gone, someone brought out the Southern Comfort, 100 proof. I recall taking about two shots of that, and that is the extent of my memory for the night. According to my wife, I took about six shots of that, none of which I have any recollection of.

Apparently I was a bit of an ass that night and my wife wouldn't talk to me for days afterwards. Not sure if I was an asshole or was being pervy, she still won't tell me. I woke up the next morning wearing nothing but boxers in the floor of our bathroom. My wife was in the hall outside of the bathroom, asleep on the floor.

On the way home that night I had gotten violently sick in her car. I spent the next day cleaning out her car while suffering from the worst hangover I've ever had. I've sworn off liquor for the most part since.

Another time that I blacked out was the night before my wedding at my bachelor's party. That's a different story altogether.:D

My last alcohol overindulgence happened a couple of weeks ago. A group of friends and I decided to start meeting weekly at this local place. Quiet non-smoking, no teeny boppers, and great drink specials.

Well, we ended up being pretty popular, partied with the staff (most of who are younger than us by a good ten years or so) and I'm still gettng these flashbacks every now and then of what happened there. I have some numbers in my cell that I don't remember putting in there. We accused them of slipping lsd in our drinks or rinsing the glasses out with meth. Not one of us had ever gotten that drunk THAT fast.

I was almost too embarrassed to go back there for our next "meeting." But I guess we weren't so bad that they banned us, because they had a table reserved for us and they immediately brought us a round of shots - on the house. Then here comes the musician that performs there on that particular night. He walks up to us like he's known us for YEARS and starts buying us drinks too.

Lucky for us, we did have a sober friend there or else I would have suspected that someone must have handed out some sexual favors that night.

My last alcohol event where I "overindulged" was last night. :)

We went out for my friend's birthday. We went to some little bar that was like a basement of an old building. It was really chill and cheap. The manager gave me a free shot of my choice (Jack) for letting these chicks he was after use the bathroom before me. The place closed at 12, so we moved over to TGI Friday's.

I bought my friend a bunch of drinks to get him completely wasted and I succeeded. I got really wasted too. After we left Friday's, the rest of the night was a blur. We ended up in front of his girlfriend's house (they are fighting) because she wouldn't answer the phone. We park and he gets out and he starts yelling her name and then leans over and vomits for a while. haha. It was so funny because it changed from yelling to vomiting in a matter of seconds.

I went back to my mom's house instead of my own home. Woke her up trying to steal some shorts from my step-dad (he was out of town) and passed out on the couch with the dog cuddled up with me. :)

Good night it was.

Tonight I had to ask a belligerent drunk to leave Rite Aid. He was browsing the wine aisle, and managed to simultaneously drop two bottles, breaking both (:no: ), followed by a string of obscenities. He was well dressed (sweater, oxford, slacks, loafers) and in probably his mid 50's. He reeked of alcohol, and looked like he had just taken a nap ("pillow hair"). It was actually pretty funny ("Fuck! Shit! Fuck! Dammit! Jesus fucking christ! Fuck!") aside from his obvious problem. Being a large male, I was asked to get him to leave after he upset a mother and child on the next aisle over (Lightbulbs/various housewares).

A part of me feels like I'm missing out on the classic experience. I've never been drunk as of yet. I've gotten mildly tipsy a couple of times, but that was about it. Not that I'm exactly lusting after a lack of control and a hangover the day after, but it seems like rite of passage. I do drink, but infrequently at best (less than most college students), and in small quantities (since I drink for taste, not to black out). I had tried once or twice to get truly drunk, but once I'd hit around 20 and was still fully coherent with only a mild buzz, I thought it wise to stop there before potentially doing serious harm to myself.

As I said, this isn't a huge concern of mine. Unlike alot of the binge drinkers I know, for me alcohol is no different than any other beverage. It should be done for the taste. So I'm not inclined to case race or try Edward 40-Hands. And, as awesome as bar-hopping at 3am was (the one time I tried it), I don't think being drunk would've made it that much better. Sure, I won't have all those great Tucker Max type stories, but I'll have more brain cells, and a clearer memory of what happened. Yeah, it might be interesting to experience it once, but given my alcohol tolerance, that doesn't seem all that likely without endangering myself physically. I always knew that having the traditional college experience, or engaging in blue collar traditions was not on the table for me, so I can't say that I'm too dissapointed even by that.

I don't tend to overindulge anymore. I know exactly how much is required to get me comfortably numb and I aim for that. If it's an evening at home, it'll most likely be a bottle of my new favorite, Basketcase (merlot). If I'm out and about, a few voka tonics will do. Either way, I'm looking to enjoy myself without falling down or doing anything retarded...and I've NEVER blacked out.

The most notible case of overindulgance in my history was when I was 16. I spent the day with Jessica at a Seattle music and food festival called Bumbershoot...In the sun, without bothering with the food. The plan was to return to Olivia and Philicia's house (sisters, both friends of ours) for a little birthday party. Their mom had bought a cake for me and had a few other friends over. After all that was done, we went out back to the shed, which had been turned into the local hangout spot. Olivia and Philicia presented me with...two 40s of warm 211.

So, us being unparticular kids, we drank the vile stuff down. By the end of it, Philicia and I were so drunk, we were peeing in the yard, trying to hold on to such useless items as dandilions and spider webs to maintain balance. The four of us were going to finally go to bed after awhile, so we headed up the flight of steps from the yard to Olivia's second-story balcony. I was pretty drunk and slow, so they went ahead while I lagged behind. I got about halfway up the flight of stairs and proceeded to fall right back down them. No one even noticed.

On my second attempt, I was "smart" and climbed the stairs on my hands and knees. I climbed through Olivia's sliding glass door, laid on her floor...But, apparently, the tumble shook up my tummy, and I puked on her floor. Not much, but a little. At that point, I crawled back out onto the balcony. I remember Olivia standing over me, clapping her hands and saying, "Don't fall asleep, Athena. Stay with me..."

I blinked...and it was light outside. :p

Yep...I have never and will never be that drunk again.

I think I am gonna need a designated "tab watcher" for my next night out.
My last bar tab was over $200. :eek:

I hear that one!

When I go out I spend money like I have endless supply of it. The last time I went out, I spent $25 at one bar, $45 at another bar, and $80 at another. It was a friend's birthday and I just was in too good a mood and kept the liquor flowing. I'm the jack ass that will pretty much buy anyone a drink as long as they keep a good conversation going or are keeping me entertained with their antics. But I'm learning to change that pretty quick.

I have a crappy job and am trying to save at least $8,000-$10,000 by July but outings, electronics, and DVDs are not helping. Will power!

In the process of looking for a second job...

OK, well you are NOT hired as my designated tab watcher.

Tonight is Happy Hour with the girls. Whose gonna watch my wallet for me? I usually do ok with 1/2 price white zins, but after a couple I start buying rounds of shots.
That's what gets me in trouble. This place serves the shots in highball glasses. Then I'm out of control with the spending.

Maybe I should just stay home...

Nah.

My trick is pulling out a limited amount of cash and leaving the card at home. It's not foolproof, especially if you've got friends like mine who offer loans under these circumstances...But usually, it will keep you aware of your spending.

I've dealt with more than a few $200 tabs in my time.

Your other option? I joined the local Eagles (fraternal order of the eagles, that is). SUPER cheap drinks, volunteer bartenders who often give away freebies in hopes for decent tips, and I just sign all my friends in. Combined with the internet jukebox, it's pretty awesome. :p

Can't. Holding cocks gets me in trouble too.

I don't go out bar hopping. I just drink at home in front of the tube.

Oh man, you guys are too fucking funny. I read the entire thread and have tears rolling down my face.

I have too many ignorant drinking stories that I'll share a little at a time. I grew up in the country. The nearest town has less than 400 folks. One cop. I'm 43 and ain't nothing changed. We drank shit like Boones' Farm Strawberry Wine, homemade wine, and mixed up huge batches of "Concrete". I no longer drink (well an occasional glass of champagne with a dollop of vanilla ice cream....mmmm good). I ended up being a bit of a lush in my twenties, had some problems with Kessler's and Tequila. I had to quit when I starting having some bloody puke...yep, ate an ulcer in me belly. :eek: Now I get to add Zantac to my daily handful of drugs. You know I feel/act fucking 20, look 30 but goddammit my body keeps reminding me I am 43. What a bitch.:p ;) :D

I've taken a little break from the drink to prepare for Friday night. My roommate's throwing a company x-mas party at our place that'll be sponsored by a local micro-brewery (3 kegs) and Jaegermeister, and will be catered by a gourmet grill cheese restaurant. Free, limitless booze... it's been fun. :D
