can alcohol make you function better?

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I tend to think so. drink up bitches!

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Good question. I'll ask some of ABM's women and get their take.




He's gonna be mad at me now. I'll get his call in 5...4...3...2... Oh, there's the phone.

I frequently post under the influence of an intoxicant (PUII) . . . and given the quality of my posts, I would say no.

Getting your drink on at clubs gives you courage to talk with ladies. Being "shit faced" forces the ladies to call security.

Actually, my girlfriend doesn't drink much at all......and, for that matter, neither do I. I do love the taste of a good beer, though. However, I keep it to one. If there's a game on, occasionally I'll drink a couple over the course of the game.

I like it that way. Drinking for "effect" yields poor results. I've been on that side of things far more than I care to remember (or not).

Careful. I know where the bodies are buried.

This is the beer curve, a few gets you up to the peak of performance but there is an abrupt drop off on the other side!

 

[MickZagger]

I used to love drinking to get shit-faced. Now days I'd rather just have a couple beers and smoke a little bud. Personal pref.

Lately I've been getting some horrible headaches if I have a few beers. Like 40% of the time. I mean really bad almost migraine where I'm laying in bed unable to sleep. Even with just two beers. A few of these were drinking after dodgeball while I was probably dehydrated, but many were not.

I've had a lot of mild headaches over the years and would just pop a few pills here and there but I'm wondering if maybe I should put my drinking days completely behind me. Haven't really drank anything the last couple of months and headaches seem much less. Since college days with Beerboy30 I've been a less frequent casual drinker so its not really that big of a part of my life where I would miss it as much..... But is kind of wierd sometimes to hang out with my old drinking buddies and not be drinking myself.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I kind of stopped drinking beers. I've been binge drinking when I go out, but stopped regular drinking.

 

[PapaG]

It's a well-known fact that getting shitfaced makes every man 6'5", 250 lbs. of muscle, and gives them a 12" cawk.

Marijuana helps lungs (see new article) and fights cancer (see comment afterward).

+1. Though I generally drink wine. Working in the wine industry, it's either drink the free (or reduced price) wine I've been given, or buy beer.

...the alcohol headaches caused me to curb virtually all drinking. Plus, Mary Jane is a much better/safer alternative! She also prevents and/or gets rid of any other headaches that may try to reappear from time to time.

Getting hammered is fun.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

got hammered last night. fun times. probably takin' it easy tonight though.

 

[The Professional Fan]

Getting hammered multiple nights in a row is even more fun.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

+1. Hell yes it is. I like to get home from work, get hammered with dinner, and relax the rest of the evening while the buzz gradually wears off as I head to bed. Get up, go to work, then do it all over again. Good times. Don't judge me, bitches!

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

my record is probably 2 weeks straight when I went to spain last year. got hammered every night, pretty hard too. by the end i did get sick though...just whole system hammered pretty hard.

also went on a 10 day cruise 2 years ago, at night there was nothing to do but get wasted.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

i like to get drunk before noon, and then take a long nap, wake up, and go to the bar for happy hour, and stay till an hour past last call, go to an after party and fuck some whores, then sleep for about 5 hours and repeat

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I can't drink after 2am. Dunno what it is, my body physically stops me from doing so. I think its the years of programming of bars here closing at 130-2am. even when i'm in las vegas. kind of weird.

I went to Germany, France, and Switzerland last summer for "work". Nothing but booze, hash, heavy food, and 4-hour nights of sleep. That was all part of what I would pretty much term a month-long binge. But the part of the binge spent in Europe was far and away the best part of it all (and the Euro part did not cost me a single penny or Euro).

Next trip.... I want to extend and tag some days of vacay in Spain. Where in Spain did you go?

My record: 14 day caribbean cruise directly followed by 6 days in Barbados visiting my sister. 20 days + the travel to San Juan for the cruise and the travel back to Portland from Barbados (because I never travel sober) = 22 straight days of not just drinking, but getting fucking drunk every day. The reason this is not only possible but extremely enjoyable is because hangovers last only as long as it takes to get to the beach when you're doing it in the caribbean. The warm sun and warm salt water accompanied by a little hair of the dog gets every thing right again, and quickly. Fuck that was awesome.

Oh yeah - judge me all you want, I couldn't give a fuck whatsoever.

 

[MARIS61]

In moderation, yes.

I will judge you.... for being awesome! That sounds rad. Done a few trips like that. Dunno how it works out... I could try that at home, and it's just simply not as successful. You have to be sleeping in a strange place, for only 4 hours/night, eating crazy food. It's like it doesn't work if you half-ass it. You have to fully be in "wreck-your-body" mode, or it simply doesn't work properly, and to the best efficiency.

Absolutely true. But it might be worth trying? Haha......

Starting.......now.
