ITT I learned that Gooney drinks more beer on a Saturday than I do in three weeks

 

Gooney probably weighs more than 85 pounds.

 

I'm guessing about two bills more

look at this guy who can't get drunk on beer or top shelf liquor.

 

took the words out of my mouth

 

oh and it gives him a dirty buzz, but NOPE not drunk

This is not rocket science.

 

Your body processes alcohol at a rate of about 1 drink per hour on average. When you are drinking beer that is only 4-5% alcohol, this means that you aren't going to get very drunk unless you are slamming beers really fast. You can drink 8 beers over an 8 hour period and just maintain that same low-level buzz.

 

And, I mean, is it really that hard to believe that a person can tell the difference between top shelf alcohol and cheap domestic beer? I'm not making any extraordinary claims here. I never said I don't get drunk off of top shelf liquor. What I'm saying is that when you drink higher quality alcohol, the euphoria to impairment ratio is much more favorable. By euphoria, I pretty much mean "being drunk". When you drink higher quality alcohol, you get just as drunk, except you are not as impaired. You don't slur your words as much, and you aren't as confused.

 

Sorry if you guys think I'm being uppity.

 

I was a bouncer for like five years. Your post sounds like the ramblings of every guy I had to kick out who was drunk AF but convinced he either wasn't or that there was no way I could tell he was because he was acting "perfectly fine."

Then you have the sharpest, most well-refined palate on earth. And that may be so, I don't know you at all. I'm just saying, if we were making an actual bet and all I had to go on were your claims vs. the pile of scientific evidence to the contrary, I think the smart money would be on you not being able to tell them apart.

I am known for having extremely sharp senses. I've actually wondered if I might be a "supertaster" or whatever. If you think I'm snobby when it comes to booze, don't even get me started on food.

[nerd]My Daredevil reference in response to that post was FAR more accurate.[/fanboy]

 

*Kicks own ass*

 

 

Yours was definitely better; I didn't see it until after I made mine. At first I was really embarrassed, but then I nutchecked some kid from the Glee Club right in front of his fat, nerd girlfriend, and I felt better.

The thread where Careless is one of the voices of reason is interesting indeed.

 

I do generally throw out the term "wine drunk," but it's definitely a mode of how I'm drinking it over the actual BAC I am experiencing vs a different alcohol.

Thanks for the input, dude, but I'm not that guy.

 

I've never been kicked out of anything in my life. I've never had a DUI. I would be willing to bet that I drink less frequently than most people on this forum.

 

I just tend to be a little bit snobby when it comes to what I put in my body, that's all.

Pretty much.

I think it is a little bit of both, personally.

 

Different types of alcohol do have different effects, but people are quick to make excuses for their behavior, and the type of alcohol they happened to be drinking is an easy escape goat. Someone has a bad night where they make a fool of them self, and they say it's because they drank tequila.

 

I have a friend who only drinks whiskey, but says that he absolutely cannot drink Irish whiskey. He says even one shot of Jameson will make him feel all fucked up, like his body just won't accept it. I'm pretty sure he just doesn't like the taste, and the rest is psychosomatic.

Honestly with everything you've said I'm surprised. "I got this guys, I'm only a 0.08 Titos, not a 0.08 Skol."

But seriously, I'll give you feeling different, whether by placebo or even physical reactions to the non-alcohol components of the drinks.

 

However your level of impairment is not changing given the same amount of alcohol.

We will have to agree to disagree, my friend.

 

I'm telling you, if I were to go buy a can of Steel Reserve right now, I would be slurring my words before I finish the can. Give me top shelf booze, and it will take much more before I start slurring. It's night and day for me.

That might be true, but you aren't less impaired.

I'm not sure we are using the word "impaired" in the same way.

 

They both get you equally drunk. Alcohol is alcohol in that sense. What I'm saying is that cheap booze gives me more of the negative effects of drinking. When I drink the good stuff, it's like I get more of the positive effects and less of the negatives. It's an overall more enjoyable buzz.

Well, yeah, a lot of hangover symptoms are due to dehydration.

 

Which is caused by C2H6O, which affects the DHA. Again, it's just the alcohol, which is completely identical no matter what you're drinking, unless you [expletive] up and drink methanol

 

Why should it matter if you're drinking methanol? Alcohol is alcohol.

 

well, for one, methanol makes you go blind lol

ALCOHOL DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY!!!!
