Every time I drink 9 shots and 12 beers....


...by 10:00 p.m., I'm pretty much ready to pass out. My words slur, I can't walk straight, my ability to engage in witty repartee (or dance, or dance while engaging in witty repartee) is seriously diminished.

I hate that I'm such a lightweight.

Haha we thought exactly the same thing! They were crushing those shots and seemed only tipsy. A bit irresponsible how movies depict the effects of alcohol.

I can drink a lot, always could but 9 shots and 12 beers will affect most ppl imho.

"You'll be taking a soul train straight to a disco inferno where you never can say goodbye!"

lmao. I was thinking the same exact thing! the bowling alley empties, shots at the club yet they are having stone cold sober conversations and arguments lol

Yeah that bugged me too. I was wondering how they were drinking nonstop without getting drunk. Reminded me of the TV show Mixology. So annoying.

reply

I find my drunkenness depends on my state of mind. If I'm anxious, eager or anything similar, I don't get drink no matter what. If I'm relaxed I go down after two beers.

Two of them were really excited so it would counter the alcohol

I can hold my liquor and beers down but should I drink that amount of alcohol... and you would be seeing what I had for breakfast! I think I would even throw a bicicle up 😁
