ok so i thought i would share my techinque with all of you, and maybe you guys can post yours: ok so my best friend is russian, i always go over to his house to chill, and it was always the place to drink. on new years one day he told me to come over and have a couple drinks with his family. this night helped me win the title of "lightweight drinker of my highschool"(even though i was outdrinking people almost twice my size, i was only like 119 pounds) In Russia you if someone offers you a shot of Vodka you must take it(along with 2 more then you can pass on every other shot, (if your foriegn of course ), i wont go into too much detail about their drinking games but the one i have played the most is you pretty much go around in a circle taking shots(and there is stuff to eat after each shot, i will go into more detail later) ok so here are some tips for staying sober: Drink one kind of liquor and nothing else(no chase, no mixing, no beer,NO WATER,NO NOTHING, so if you are drinking Rum just drink Rum) because believe it or not, pop will get you more drunk if you mix it with booze(diet pop is the worse for this, so if you wanna get drunk fast, use diet pop if not DONT) Before going out drinking EAT, stuff high in protien, because protien brakes down alcohol content, what i was told to eat is the following: a couple ofBoiled potatoes, 2 Raw eggs, 2-3 spoons of olive oil,Fish is good, pickles are good, Lemon is a must(acid) and something high in salt(crackers is what i usually do) Take shots in one gulp After taking a shot, if you are aloud eat something(Fish,pickles,something with mayo on it i reccomend a mayo sandwich with lettuce turkey whatever) all these things contain protien,salt and acid) If your not aloud to eat during the drinking, eat before, but dont overeat or you will most likely blow chunks. to prevent hangovers i like to drink water or beer before bed(gatorade would work too i guess)then set your alarm for 2-4hours when you go to bed(so if you go to bed at 3am set it for like 5, if you wake up before this to pee just unplug your alarm clock because all you need to do is take a pee and drink more water/beer/etc. oh yea, by following the steps above(without eating during) you should stay sober for a 26oz bottle of vodka(at least half of it i went through a whole bottle without feeing a thing though), thats right tottaly sober good luck
why on earth would you want to? i'm fine with a few beers, or like two or three martinis, or some sake or wine.... i mean come on, alcohol is fucking expensive. i like the taste, but who honestly drinks for taste alone if they're drinking in quantity? i sure wouldnt want to spend money on some booze then drink a whole bottle of liquor and be able to walk straight.... its not like its not still wreaking havoc on your liver, either. i think i'll stick to just having a couple drinks and relaxing.
Bragging rights. Or at family gathering type things... I know that we have something called a Slava a couple times every year at my grandpa's and theres always some asshole walking around with like 4 shot glasses and a bottle of liquor... You'd be lucky to escape a Slava without being wasted... Basically you take a shot with everyone... If you dont, they get offended. Good thing theres always lots of food at these things. Oh yeah and Slava's are Serbian if you're wondering.
Yeesh. And to think there are people like the OP (not implying you specifically SuperHippo, but some people), who preach to people who drop a pill every couple of weeks. Mad world.
