Alcohol tolerance for me seems to effect only how drunk i -think- i am.

I drank half a bottle of bourbon, then I walked to a friends house thinking i was dead sober and the first thing he said to me was "you're fucked" (really drunk)

:'(

I've never been drunk enough to forget anything either. Seriously, nothing fun in getting drunk. But getting buzzed can be a good time... but you don't notice you're buzzed if you're not doing something. Shoot pool, go on a crawl, dance, something.

Beer is an acquired taste, but it's fun once you get used to it. Caydr, since you're a Canuck, I recommend Alexander Keith's India Pale. Sleeman honey-brown is also a good beer to try if you're not a beer fan, but it does cruel things to your colon if you have too much of it. Keith's will make you love beer and want to start exploring dark, unexplored brews.

Avoid the cheap beers and the imports. Cheap beers are what you drink once you like beer and just want it cheap. Imports are all very particular, acquired tastes.

Alternately, try white wine. The tannins in red wine will knock you out if you're drinking a lot, but whites are nice. Strewn makes a wonderful Reisling-Gewurtztraminer mix that is fruity and sweet but dry enough to avoid being a girl drink.

Hard liquor will get you drunk, but the experience is so dull that it makes it feel like work. You should _enjoy_ your booze.

My current late-night treat is creme de menthe and chocolate milk.

The only time i ever had a major memory blackout from drinking is when i choked on my own vomit and woke up in hospital

Mainly a beer fan, though I do appreciate a fine vodka too, especially as it tends not to hit me very badly and doesn't give me a hangover.

Wine, on the other hand, is always, 100% a recipe for disaster. Gets me trollied very quickly and makes me feel like a corpse the next day.

Hehe, voddy is pretty much my most despised drink. I absolutely hate it, which is a shame considering how cheap it is. I do like other hard liquours though, particularly a good whiskey (I'm scottish, after all).

When I drink wine I normally feel totally sober for the entire time I'm drinking it, so I end up drinking a bottle or two reasonably fast, impatient and waiting to be tipsy/buzzing. Then ofc it hits me all at once an hour and a bit after drinking and suddenly I'm completely tanked.

The most drunk I ever got in the first year of uni was after drinking 2 bottles of wine then going out clubbing and hitting the drink hard. Felt fine until about my second voddy coke (thats right, I hate it but I still drink it coz its usually the cheapest thing going) then suddenly I was completely wrecked. Total blank for the rest of the night after that besides a couple of random things I remembered.

At least it led me to finally come clean and get with a girl I'd been friends with and really really liked for a month or so before. She ended up being my girlfriend for most of the rest of first year, until she went back to England because she was "homesick"

Wine is good. :D

I enjoy it, although to begin with i hated stella and only drank it because it is what my dad drinks so there was usually some in the fridge. Now I tend to go for stella over most other beers on tap (or if I'm getting a carry out from a store). Good balance between quality, price and easy to get drunk on because it's 5.2%

Best beers are German beers IMO. I would tell you which I prefer but I can't spell the names and CBA googling it.

I'm a poor American college student, it's high class to me.

When you're comparing all beers against Natty Light then they all look high class

(Natty Light - err, "Natural Light" - is the quintessential college party beer; $25 kegs and the like. It tastes horrible of course.)

Seriously, suggest a beer to me that I'd be able to find for a reasonable price in the US and I'll go buy it.

Define reasonable price.

Beer is good, but you should really be drinking Real Ale. Mmmmm Ale. That or Guinness. Mmmmm. That or Red wine, or white if its with the right meal (red's nicer for general consumption.) And tequila is the nicer of the spirits. But I'll drink anything
(except vodkat, a vodka blend which, aside from the terrible name, and the fact it tastes like the smell of paint striper, I now won't drink (unless I'm to drunk to know I'm drinking it))

As for my tolerance... I can drink Ale till the cows come home, and can hold a fair amount of spirits, but I'll be pissed if I have over 2 bottles of wine... Unfortunately the only free booze I tend to get IS wine, cause thats what the boss at work likes. Hence why the only night I cant remember is one of the work do's....

i once demonstrated my incredible skill at the Gran Tursmo PSX/PS2 series. i was still winning races up to the point where i passed out just after making the final turn (i was winning that race too)

at that point (10 beers or so) i was so drunk i could barely walk, and speech understandable speech was little more than a memory.

I once won a team game almost alone while i was in high drunk, with a laptop, without mouse, and with crap resolution and crap GUI.
I mixed the "mouse" click keys all the time, and it was agony to control my units XD

They must been total noobs, or i must had got super powers from the alcohol.

Or perhaps you were drunk enough to THINK you'd won

No, thats called being in drugs, there is a difference.

drug just word of media to put together all substiance that are not legal u know that u call medicine drug????? they all diff substance have diff effect so i think it is bit in justice to mark all as drug becuse sum are not bad and sum are more bad u know even caffeine u dring is drug???????? and nicotine!!! and alhcohol u can all of them become addict u maby addict to caffeine i donno but if u r then u maby get hedache whe n u dont have caffein in morning????? or so, but, i think my point is clear becuse drug word is bad generalization that is all )) SOME DRUG IS OK!!!!!! THEY ALL DIFF!!!!! i like alchol and caffein drug))))

Drug merely has a negative connotation.

if you define drug as a psychoactive substance, alcohol is a drug, too.

Something that I can buy in a 6-pack for under $20, say.

ammeretto is so good, but I get so sick when drinking it

Felix, you type like a monkey when drunk. If you still had your thinking skills it would occur to you to slow down and make your touch typing right rather than posting mangled gooble.
