How does alcohol affect you?

It seems to make most people I know loud and silly, but it does not affect me that way at all. It only makes me slur my words and think less clearly. Other than that I'm normal.

You only think that you're acting normal, because the alcohol is making you think less clearly. You're actually acting loud and silly, and you're slurring your words. [}:D]

I experience no negative effects from BEER. Do not attempt to ban BEER or I will be forced to kill you !

My most memorable binge experiences were loud and silly, but the reaction I get really depends on what I'm drinking, where I'm drinking, and who I'm drinking with.

Alcohol generally makes me very happy but every once and a while, it makes me a little emotional.

What kind of alcohol?

Beer, my normal drink, allows me to be loud, passionate, and perhaps obnoxious.

Vodka, which I have on occasion, allows me to be VERY happy, and somewhat amorous.

SCOTCH, which I enjoy in sips, either allows me to be Very Mellow, or COMPLETE RAVING ARSEHOLE.

I stick with beer.

No affect at all. Although I suppose you are talking about after consuming it. In that case I have no idea.

I get a good buzz. I'm not a loud person drunk or sober. but then again, I don't drink hardly at all (maybe 2 beers/month average)

back when I was a wee lad.... I'd drink until I got sick. I never passed out. I could always recall everything, and my head hurt like a mofo! I guess real hardcore drinking ain't my thing! (Thank GOD!)

Beer makes me a studly man who is the life of the party and the main object of desire.

Beer makes me stronger, faster, tougher and more worldly than those around me.

Beer transforms me into someone who cannot lose an argument because I become so intelligent.

Beer makes me a god... But in a humble way.

Alcohol makes my reflexes as quick as .... something really quick, my whole personality is all sunny, friendly and everybody just has to like me. Simply irresistible. Especially the girls are turned on by my subtle, Jaegermeister-induced charm. The more I drink, the more brilliant my remarks. I'm also invincible and better than them all, haha! I swear I drive better drunk than most people sober, whooosh, and around that corner, mwhuahaha, I bet that jogger girl just wants to be in my arms, her screaming at me must be some kind of hidden way of "showing all the right signals". Hmm, and how she bounces when she runs, up, and down, and up, up....oh, pretty bird!

I get loud and silly. Well, that is what the wife tells me anyway.

I don't drink very often, so it's a rare occasion when I actually drink enough to affect me. The few times I've had enough, I ended up laughing a lot.

Well back when I had a job, I went to Cheetahs, drank lots of beer and the womenz were really, really nice to me. I didn't find out until waking up sober the next day that I had spent $600 on lap dances and booze the night before.

I started loud and silly, but as I got older and more mature, it became more like a warm buzz. Now I don't drink but once every couple of months and then maybe 2 drinks at that.

I don't drink alcohol.

Back in 95', my LT thought it would be fun to get me drunk, so I voluntered to be a test subject at a SFST/HGN class.

That morning, I rode 50 miles on my bike, and I later consumed 12 ounces of alcohol in an attempt to get me up to a .08 BRAC (6 ounces should have done the trick).

All I could get up to was .06, and later when the class was told my alcohol consumption vs BRAC ratio, they flipped.

The troopers putting on the class said high metabolism had no effect on alcohol consumption: The class laughed at them.

So, I can consume large amounts of adult beverages, and not get wasted, but I still don't drink.

Frankly, I'd rather see Marleyboro legalized, and alcohol made illegal again, but we all know that won't happen again.

none of your choices seem to fit me.

i can still think clearly, (at least i think i can think clearly) i can have conversations with people and stuff. i just seem to lose all my energy. this is when i am piss drunk though.

walking-not at any distamce. i've neve fallen while drunk but i do have a hard time keeping my balance. like 50 feet would be a LONG walk for me to do/try.

i don't pass out, but the last summer party i was at i don't remember where i slept. i think in a tent.

i don't get hangovers. at all.

i learned an important lesson i'll carry with me for the rest of my life -- "Don't chug wine."

See my thread "12 years of Denial".

When I drank, I tended to abuse the alcohol, right along with the rest of the crowd I hung out with.
I finally decided I'd rather have a career as a "BusMaster", and alcohol and CDL's don't mix too well!
So, I quit.

Now, today, there's a bottle of my favorite 12 year old scotch, Chivas Regal, that's been in the bottle as long as I haven't been drinking...that was a secret goal of mine, and, I achieved it today.
Cheers!
