I GIVE YOU THE INCEPTION SHOT!


For $15 its a shot in a shot in a shot in a pitcher. High enough alcohol content t send a person my size ( 5'9", 170 lbs) in the hospital if done all at once.

Do the whole thing in less then 10 seconds and its free

If my drinking experiences have taught me anything its that this challenge should be accepted. I drink these sort of things so you don't have to.

The cocktail, or the hospital visit?

My experience is that this is 100% true. As previous posters pointed out, its about quantity, my experience tells me that drinking beer before liquor makes the quantity needed to hate yourself the next morning much much much lower than it would normally be.

I call BS on this, the last time I blacked out and praised the golden throne (like a good member of the Imperium), I had consumed 9-12 shots of 151 in my mixed drink, and what did me in was the two Genesee I had after that, I was fine until that point .

And someone will call BS on my story, it boils down to personal tolerances and what you're used to drinking. Honestly my mantra is probably like this:

Beer before liquor, ain't gettin' drunk quicker
Liquor before beer, everyone get clear (of the area)
Wine before anything, Alf is fethed.

Just drink, Susan.

I was confused by this as most of my university mates called me Susan...

Though after downing 2 pints of wine once I can confirm it's wine that feths you up.

Tequila is the only drink that's caused me to give tribute at the porcelain throne. That was a rough night.

I was wine drunk on Saturday night, I find it to be a more emotional drunk than beer or liquor for me. The way I described (drunkenly) to my friend was, "I feel very emotional, like I want to punch everything and love everything at the same time. I feel like an Italian" (she's Italian, so while she told me to feth off, she knew what I meant ) I do not like wine drunk.

bs!

The real saying is beer before liquor never been drunker.

If we're onto the topic of sayings, there is one that is universally indisputable: wine's fine, but liquor's quicker.

Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker is my favorite saying.

Vice is nice, but incest is best?

There's got to be a way to turn this into a drinking game. . . I'm envisioning something like Rock Paper Scissors, but more along the lines of Wine Liquor Moonshine.

I don't care for mixing drinks like that. Ugh...

If you want a drinking game, there's a relatively simple one, but it won't reaaally work in a bar - you have to do it at a party. Simply have everyone bring some drink - shots, wine, beer, doesn't matter - and stick it all on the table.
Everyone is only allowed to drink something they haven't drunk yet that night.

Where it gets fun is, combinations count as a new drink. Works best with about half a dozen people, as it only takes a few before you're forced to mix up, and the smaller variety of drinks usually means you can't cheat by mixing two beers for long.

Shouldn't one follow the other?

Tequila is prolly one of the better spirits for me for not fething my morning after up. You need a quality one though. Cuervo or the usual top shelf brands can be just plain nasty for hangovers and such, go pure, get buzzed.

100% agave is the best.

Ican drink anything in any order....

Provided I chug 2 tall glasses of water and take two tylenol pms before bed.

On the subject of hangovers, I can't stress enough how well Alkaseltzer morning relief works.

Is that logistically possible?

I can't stand beer. It smells and tastes like something horrible to me.

Revy explains it best in Black Lagoon.

Liquor?!?! I've only just met her!!!!

All the more reason to do so

I find that I can get to the proper amount of drunk when I start on liquor, and then maintain/come down from that level with beer.

I've had nothing but terrible experiences when going the other way around

Most nights finish with hard liquor, only some start with beer. But I suppose if your young then drinking vast amounts of spirits when your already tanked up on beer is a common mistake.

My only rule for drinking.

"If you've had more than enough, avoid the puff"

I'm usually way too drunk to know if weed is having an effect on me, then again the whole point of drugs for me is too have crazy or bizarre sensations, social drinking is too boring for me I like to be fethed up from drinking.

Gin rickeys. Mostly sparkling water and no sugar, so you don't get dehydrated, and you have one waiting in the fridge in the morning to mitigate the withdrawal symptoms of your body being upset that it's no longer drunk. Voila, no hangover! Preventative medicine in action!

I stopped smoking for a quite a few years and forgot this rule a few years ago, as a result i ended up pantless in the little room talking to the porcelain. Lesson re-learned.

The myth of Beer before liquor, never sicker is just that, a myth.

This is a biscuit...

We have a term used to describe me when I start drinking where I'm perfectly fine, seemingly tipsy, and then I have one more drink, and then I'm utterly helpless and irresponsible like a man on an ether binge. We call it "falling off the ethanol cliff". Thankfully, it doesn't happen nearly as often anymore.

To the topic, I've never had good experiences drinking beer and then switching up to hard alcohol. I think it's mostly behavioral though, nothing to do with chemistry. I think you're just already too drunk to realize how hard you're hitting the liquor at that point.

Also, how does a boiler maker or a cider and rum (or a car bomb) fit into the saying?
