The Succeeder Stronghold

[QUOTE=Aramant]One thing about having "taste" is that you stop drinking when your wallet's empty rather than when you throw up/pass out/fall down etc. Me, I get drunk pretty quick, but I can hold my functionability for a loooong time afterward.[/QUOTE]

*shrugs* I can control myself. It's been rare that I get so drunk that I do any of those things to be honest. They generally happen because I drink for the fact I wish to get so drunk I pass out cold. It is when I am stuck in a situation where I have nothing to do but drink and I can't go home that I get into trouble. Being around people I don't like at a party and holding onto two bottles of booze is a bad, bad thing.

@ Lestat, I'm kind of the same way...I have had deep, intelligent discussions when the mood has hit me when I was extremely intoxicated. I've been horribly drunk and high and cooked a gourmet meal for 7 before, and then ate and passed out. It all depends on how tired I am, and how much I consumed in a given amount of time. If I steadily progress towards super-drunk, I am fine. If I just guzzle a liter and a half of liqour in 2 hours, no way I'm going to handle that as well as slowly getting to that type of drunk over 8 or so hours of drinking.

I can control myself with booze. Usually, I order enough to get me buzzed, and then I slow down. My one friend Samantha likes that about me, because I won't get drunk but find some happy medium. One of our other friends, Lucy, likes to get wasted, which is why Samantha prefers drinking with me. Sadly, she makes me go out drinking almost once a week when neither of us can afford it anymore.

Why don't you two just get a bottle and share it at home? It is far, far cheaper.

She's into vodka tonic and wine, which I'm not. I'm into Long Islands, which she is not. Hence, the non-shareage of the bottles.

Well, I'll IM you the address, but be sure to put c/o (care of) Funding Alcoholism on the envelope.

Hmm, stock a bar up. It'll cost more money up front, but hey...it's still like what, 1/3 the price to buy it retail and mix it yourself than buy it at a bar.

Och well you are all good, responsible drunks with the capacity to stay buzzed and not fall down? Me neither

[/QUOTE]As I said I dropped while flirting. The girl was pretty shocked (one moment I was charming, and the next moment down on the ground

)... OK she was buzzed a bit too.

If I had the funds I'd probably drink myself to death. That's why I leave debit and credit at home, and bring limited cash. Also, I give cab fare to my friend beforehand.

P.S.: Sauvignon blanc is disappointing, but at least it's not as putrid as chardonnay.

:laugh: The last time I fell, and was still conscious afterwards while drunk was from laughing at the message my old roommate made to his mother while drunk at 2am in the morning demanding she make him food and bring it over. The last time I fell and passed out was when I downed a liters worth of vodka in jello shot form and walked into the corner of the wall that ended at the entrance to my hallway in february, then passed out drunk on my way to the floor.

Booze is Bad, it leads to many domestic problems that end mairrages, destroy families, and over tax our police's resources. Stop drinking now or I will be forced to pray to god and have him send an angel to you to teach why booze is bad, ghost of christmas past style, understand?

I am not going to take a lecture from someone who types worse sober than I do drunk. Where is your moral high ground, sunshine? :laugh:

Last time I fell, I was at a bar, and there was an inexplicable step up halfway across the main bar floor, and I tripped.

ALSO!

This is another one of those random improbable moments of me being unaccountably awesome while drunk: I just went out and got my friend and I free passes (no line/no cover) to the summer opening of a popular bar downtown. Seriously, the best things happen to me when I'm drunk.

Aramant, if you are planning to drink gin after 2 bottles of wine, I hope you also invested in a large bucket!!

Aramant · Post by **Aramant** » Fri Apr 21, 2006 7:03 pm

Incidentally, I find sau-blanc to be similar to chardonnay, only more tight and acid. Which I like. I'm a great fan of pinot gris.
