I went to school with a guy who could actually open his gullet. This meant he could empty a can of beer into his stomach without swallowing. He was unbeatable in drinking competitions - the sprint ones.

Of course he was a heroe to all the other 15 year olds.

Just don't start drink distilled liquor after having drunk fermented (though the reverse is okay). And actually, as long as you don't over do it, you can ignore the first sentence altogether.

The "rule" is because you can drink very large quantites of distilled liquor, compared with fermented, and if you're already drunk off fermented liquor, you won't likly be paying attention to how much distilled liquor you are drinking, which can lead to hangovers, alcohol poisoning, and death. Where as you can more easily hit a physical limit with beer and wine, since you fill up.

Remember, one shot/mixed drink = one can of beer = one glass of wine, roughly. Your body can oxydize about one drink every half an hour, on average. So as long as you stick to that, you probably won't get drunk, but maybe a little tipsy, depending on how fast you drink it.

Drinking as a teen isn't really such a good idea. You brain hasn't finished developing yet, and your body is all full of hormones, and drugs and alcohol affect you differently than they affect adults. It is much easier for a teenager to become alcoholic than it is for an adult.

There are two decent theories on hangovers. One is that hangovers are caused by dehydration. If you drink at least one glass of water for every drink, you will have, at worst, a very mild hang over. The only time I get hangovers is when I forget to do this. Now, this could be because if you're drinking water, you aren't drinking alcohol, which gives your body a rest, but since I tend to drink all my water at the end of the night, I don't think so.

The other theory is that cheap liquor has what are called isomers (impurities) in them. I've only seen this mentioned on Skyy Vodka packging, which then goes on to say that it's been distilled four times, and it has the lowest isomer content of any vodka on the market. Maybe it's true, but I think it's marketting bs. I'll bet I could get a hangover drinking Skyy if I tried.

The last bit of advice I'd give you is: Life is too short to drink cheap liquor. Don't waste time with cheap, crappy liquor. You do get what you pay for, and the quality stuff is definately worth it. When you're older, take some wine/beer/whisky tasting classes, and learn what truely good liquor tastes like. After my wine tasting class, I couldn't go back to drinking the bad stuff. And, there's actually a good bit of low-priced, but high quality liquor. Read various trade magazines to learn what you should be looking for, and enjoy drinking for the taste, not the drunk.

I sure am late for this thread.

I just drink to get a buzz anyways. The hard part is limiting yourself. I am unable to do that if I stay in a bar all night. When I'm in a bar, I tend to drink . So the best thing to do is avoid bars. Or just go to bars to pick up women and leave. Staying in bars all night seems like a waste of time and just get you too drunk or in trouble.

Social drinking. yep it's a good thing . If you have the money drink the quality stuff. Especially beer. There is a very noticible difference in beer quality. I don't notice this too much in hard liquor- but I often mix them. And I'm not familiar with wine, so I can't comment on that.

A good way to start off is with vodka. It mixes with many things. Just start off with a screwdriver (orange juice and vodka). It is my main drink of choice when playing blackjack on tables in the casinos. Also you can put vodka in frozen drinks. Very tasty.

You can also try the various shnapps flavours. Peach snaps is very good. Not too potent, but potent enough.

Rum is another that mixes very well. But I was never into rum as much as vodka.

As for whiskey I like wild turkey. Very good. southern comfort is also good. But I tend to stay away from whiskey. I get drunk too easily with that stuff.

Hahahaha!! That was great reading!! Especially that door-thingie! We had a party with a vomit out of the window, too.. it was 6th floor, and the people at the first floor were watching television, all the family there nice and quiet, when... *splash* straight into the living room window... well, some 5 minutes later some guy comes to knock on our door: "Excuse me... might I speak to the owner of the apartment"... well, he was cool, Mika (the puke-guy) went and cleaned the window nicely, and had a nice chat with the fellow (who told that he once had a party when he was 18, where "vomit flew like sh*t into the fan")...
...and the best thing was that the following day the city actually called a cleaning service to clean the pavement of Mika's vomit. It was sunday

...hmm...I bet we can top the door-stealing one day
At our town there's this local old-testament-fundamentalist-group that gathers once a week in a house. They have their own letterbox. Well, actually, they've had 4 different letterboxes during the last summer... but let's not talk about it

Well, we haven't had parties like that since we were 16.

Last time I was drunk was New Year's Eve. I always get pissed on New Year's Eves, and not on many other occasions.

But since that night, I've decided to becoem a little more careful, after some guy from my school threatened to rip my balls off (literally!!). Obviously, I "met" his girlfriend that night

"Meeting" girls might not be always good idea when drunk. Some of my friends have a dangerous habit of finding the ugliest and most annoying girls around. Luckily, repeat, LUCKILY, that doesn't happen often. Happened once to me. And I still don't want to talk about it. She wasn't perhaps too ugly, but... damn she's one annoying b*tch...okay I said too much. Repeat: let's not talk about it.

...btw, "Let's not talk about it" is perhaps one of the most commonly heard phrases the day after... at least in our parties

Well, she just isn't the most beautiful of all, it was brother alcohol, I promise

I guess the first time Siro gets drunk he ends up with seevral girls sharing his bed the next morning

At least that would be Israeli youth style, according to nice media products such as those comedy movies from there.

Don't ask for names, I wouldn't know how to translate "Eis Am Stiel" into English, it's such a typical German expression
