This. How far are you going to go to chase a buzz? If 13 beers isn't getting you the feeling you seek, try a whole different route... one that does not involve alcohol. Quote HistoryQuoted:

What is going to happen is you are going to get absolutely fuck blindsided. Health failure, DUI, wreck and injuries. It is goin to happen all at once. What ever is compelling you to drink, you need to seek help for it outside the bottle. Are you having any memory loss? This. How far are you going to go to chase a buzz? If 13 beers isn't getting you the feeling you seek, try a whole different route... one that does not involve alcohol. that. I don't know what you are thinking OP, but I know a little about drinking. especially the bit about trying a different route. You'll be better off. |

A few weeks ago I drank 13 Heinekens and besides being thirsty in the morning I didn't feel much more than a buzz. I used to get terrible hangovers...the kind where you just want to kill yourself.

I went the opposite way. I went from being able to pound beers all day and night. To drunk from a 6 pack. Now I've quit smoking cigs and drinking completely.

I don't believe you Yeah, I gotta go with this. Something's amiss. I've polished off a bottle of Jameson a few times in one "session" and while I wasn't terribly hungover the next morning, I was most certainly lit like a candle. And while I'm definitely not a "handle of vodka a day" alcoholic or anything, I'm not exactly a lightweight either. A fifth of Jameson in two hours will easily render me tore up from the floor up. |

While I question your desire to become intoxicated and recommend against it, I would also state that you are not trying hard enough.
If you really WANT to get drink, go get a bottle of Sailor Jerry's rum. Pour a generous amount into a glass. Add enough Coke that you don't taste the alcohol burn. Drink it. Repeat. If you repeat often enough, you'll get drunk. It's not rocket surgery. |

There's lots of people self-medicating all manner of mental illness with alcohol. "Simple" depression is a big one. Kind of ironic to treat depression with a depressant. Maybe that's why it doesn't fucking work.

Through some magical combo of body weight, genetics, and practice, people can have/build one hell of a tolerance. It is useful to be the sober-ish one amongst your passed out folks. After all, someone has to administer drunk-triage, but you quickly realize that role absolutely sucks, and the nights get insanely expensive, whether alone or in company.
Quit now. You will be healthier, wealthier, and wiser. |

If your drinking to get drunk and not just enjoying the flavor of the drink, you need to seek help. This is the actions of a teenager just starting to drink or someone with an underlying issue. Put down the booze and find a new mission. When you have found it, you then can enjoy a drink or two without looking for the high. I can not in all honesty say I have ever drank anything alcoholic for the taste. If I drink it is to get at least a little relaxation going on. Some things are easier to drink than others but as a whole most outside of a handful of beers and some wine types are nasty. Wow! Personally I love the after taste of different brands of Scotch. Hell, I even started drinking wine to experience the aromas and follow up taste. In all honesty, I really never learned to appreciate beer/wine/spirits until I took a wine tour out in Napa Valley years ago. My wife thinks I'm nucking futs when she sees me drinking liquor straight, one sip at a time. Sip it, swish it and swallow. Then sit back and enjoy the experience. Quoted:
Apple Pie Moonshine. Not from a liquor store. Jesus Christ! My ass got double blistered one night with this stuff. Straight from the hills of Tennessee. It was like drinking an apple pie. Shit tasted so damned good I couldn't stop drinking it until I was too fucked up to put the glass to my lips. My friends still laugh their ass off at me over this night. |

I was a big fan of Vodka/Rum/Whiskey and coke for a number of years. Eventually I had built up such a tolerance I could drink 9 shots worth over two hours and not even be fazed. Recently I've switched back to drinking 6-7% beer and find 3 or 4 over a couple hours will get me a much nicer buzz. It's almost like my body was just rejecting the alcohol overload. I also tend to drink the beer more slowly vs the mixed drinks which I would down very quickly.
