How well do you handle yourself on alcohol?

Since I switched from Vodka to Crown a few years ago much better. No more crazy hangovers and not remembering.
 
Depends. I get louder and lose all filter's I place on myself.

But I can either go into lovable drunk mode or super bitter/depressed mode. Depends on the situation really.

Alcoholic drinks with the same ABV have the same effect in the same quantity. But you might be more inclined to drink the tastier drink faster, which could cause you to react differently as your BAL would rise more quickly and probably peak higher.
 
I remain pretty clear minded even when drunk, I start talking even more and when I get more drunk I love everybody and I start hitting on every girl in the room.

Except when it's New Years on New Years
when I drink I tend to get beat up or almost die. New Years is not my day.
 
I find that when I'm in a bad mood, I just can not get drunk.

There's probably a limit to that poor wisdom, but if something is really bothering me, the part of my brain that allows alcohol to affect it just closes up like a steel trap and I'm sitting there wasting money trying to get buzzed and nothin' doin'.
 
I have to be careful about getting too smashed. There's a certain point where I can get moody, especially if someone kills my buzz. Luckily I have gotten pretty good at recognizing when I am approaching that point, and I back off the swill. It's not like I will flip out or cry or anything, just feels bad...man.
 
I take it casually 90% of the time, when I'm in public or at someone else's house. Sing more songs, laugh more, talk a lot with friends, smoke de cigarrettes.

The other 10%, it's allllll music played really loudly, usually waking up with the CD on repeat.

Sugary/caffeinated drinks probably do contribute to feeling different than you would have otherwise in many cases.

And those same sugary/caffeinated drinks probably lead to worse hangovers as well as your body is not only dealing with the after effects from the alcohol, but also the inevitable stimulant crash.

This would also include certain types of wine.

But just straight shots of different things? Shouldn't make a difference.
 
I've had a beer before college, but I started drinking drinking at college.

Still the last one out of my guy friends to vomit. I credit Polish heritage.

They wanted to get me drunk beyond belief and couldn't do it.
 
I never drink enough to lose control. With enough alcohol, I just get sluggish.

What's the point of drinking to the point that you go crazy and/or puke? I have friends who keep trying to get me drunk to that point, but it just seems dumb to me. Puking and feeling like shit the next day is not my idea of fun.
 
I would have to drink a ridiculous amount before doing anything stupid. Even when very drunk, at the most I just get talkative and slur my speech a little.

It's about how fast you drink it, cultural/social ideas about what the drink is supposed to do, and your state of mind going in (previous history with the drink, personal shit going on, etc).

People go into tequila expecting a wild time and blacking out and shit, and there is a ritual to drinking it that tends to facilitate that as well. So, often, people have a bad reaction to tequila.

A lot of how you act while under the influence is based on expectations. Different drinks involve different expectations, so the drunk from it ends up different. shrug
 
I'm a conceited asshole at the best of times. When I'm drunk enough that's obviously front and centre. I can also be quite aggressive. There'll be a fair amount of smut thrown around too. I'm lucky that I have some wonderful female friends that either ignore it or pity me!

So, with that said, I don't drink a lot anymore.
 
im very happy, talkative and almost sober seeming drunk..... i was once bar crawling in rome, my backpacking friends stupidly jumped up and danced on the stage with the bar band.. but once we got chucked out i was the one that magically lead everyone across the city back to our hostel. the next day i was praised by the hostel staff for my leadership...what they didnt know is i was the one who first got on the stage and made all my mates follow me :P
 
It depends. After a few drinks, I'm a better person that I normally am. Much more friendly, happier, and outgoing. The downside is that the more I drink, the more I just sort of uh, go for it, especially with women. I also say some things that are sort of embarrassing when I'm reminded of them; nothing too emotional or malicious, but just things I wouldn't have admitted or said if I wasn't drunk.

I never really get mean unless I was in a bad moon before drinking, and even then only really with whiskey.

edit: also this is with people, when I drink alone it's usually because I'm depressed and naturally that changes things.
 
I handle alcohol pretty well, all things considered.

I'm the guy everyone is surprised about when I say afterwards "wow, was I drunk!". Apparently I'm very well at maintaining a normal and sharp appearance, even though in my head the world may be spinning round round baby round round like a record baby ....
 
I get very social and in the mood to party... say I'm having a few drinks in the house just chilling out in the neogaf drunk thread as one does on the weekend i'l start speaking more with my friends on facebook and my girlfriend will also be drinking away texting her friends. Before we know it we have arranged a night in the town.

a few hours later there is a big group of us binge drinking in a bar opening up like never before to each other.. 11.30pm rolls in and we hit the clubs.

For me drinking is always a journey I'll keep moving from location to location the more alcohol i have connecting with other drunks.

Note i'm drunk in my neogaf avatar, my eyes get a little star gazed and my face looks happy.
 
I become a horny chubby chaser... or just any girl in general, but... yeah...

At least that was before, now I'm happily committed to a beautiful party girl that gets drunk with me. Now I get sleepy by 2am, and knock out if I don't have a 5hr energy on me.
 
I get extremely social, loud, and down to party. If I'm drunk I'm going to want to go to a club and dance up a storm. Unfortunately, my game while drunk isn't top notch, so I generally have to choose between getting smashed or picking up chicks.
 
I pride myself in knowing I am 28 and minuse a few very early idiotic things ive done when i was like 15 or 16, nobody that knows me can say I suck to be around drunk. I can become the life of the party, but I don't set out to get drunk and crazy to do that everytime. Then your just an attention whore. I dont get violent very often either, mostlyt he times i have was because it was on everyone elses minds about beinb bothered by some drunk bafoon and i felt ill be the one to say what needs to be said. I generally can also keep myself from getting hammered and being a sloppy drunk, you know the types that are so drunk they just spit out gibberish and have one lazy eye.

Only reason I came into this thread to sort of brag, is because I grew up with a violent alcoholic father, and just a long line of alcoholics throughout both sides of my family. So I stay aware, and always tell myself not to loose control to the gene I have. Thats why I apply it to nerdy things like comics and videogames, hahahaha.
