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."

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.

 

 

I'm not saying you're the kind of guy who gets kicked out of bars. I'm saying you're the kind of guy who, when he's drunk, thinks he's not acting drunk and slurring his words when he really is. So you're basically like almost every other drunk person. You say that's not true, yet you also say you can taste the difference between Belvedere vodka and Barton vodka after your 18th drink, so forgive me if I'm skeptical.

Your skepticism is understandable. I'm pretty abnormal.

 

You'd have to see me to believe me.

so, vodka is a good example to use here. also good for cleaning wounds. anyway, vodka is just whatever is pulled off the still cut with water to bring it to proof. the rub is that the distillation process produces many alcohols and compounds that can impact flavor and also maim you and/or make you feel like garbage independent of whatever normal dehydration effects you feel. if the distiller runs long in an effort to gain more efficiency, they're going to pull in some crap with it. this is probably a regular occurrence in the outhouse where burnetts is made, but less of a worry at say the buffalo trace distillery

So you think shitty alcohol makes you slur words more too?

Yay. One other person agrees with me.

I read this out loud like an old timey hobo with a busted-lid tophat was saying it.

Is that something you do regularly?

So you think [expletive] alcohol makes you slur words more too?

 

maybe more racial slurs but that's anecdotal at best

You guys are in denial.

 

I have a sneaking suspicion that you guys are the same crowd that would tell me I'm getting ripped off by buying expensive, local organic food. You'd tell me it's "just the same" as the GMO crap they sell at Walmart. You'd tell me I'm just paying for the cute little "USDA Organic" logo, because I'm snobby like that.

 

Well, save your breath. I've heard it all before.
