Hello My name is Jonathan, I have FAS known as Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. FAS is caused by Maternal Drinking of Alcohol during pregnancy as a result it leaves the person in this case myself with an permanent disability.

There is No Cure

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) is a pattern of mental and physical defects which develops in unborn babies when the mother drinks alcohol during pregnancy. A baby born with FAS may be seriously handicapped and require a lifetime of special care. Some babies with alcohol-related birth defects, including smaller body size, lower birth weight, and other impairments.

Since I found out i had FAS I have dedicated my life to the awareness of FAS in communities, prisons, and churches across Canada and via the www site hoping to reach across national borders to those afar so they too can know they don't need to be alone.

This is my experience with alcohol not now not when i was a teen but before i was born. As a result i am on permanent disability.

I think it depends on mood and circumstances

like if im all pumped for a big night, I can drink a bottle of scotch and obvioulsy be drunk, but not toooo drunk.

Where as if im not really pumped about going out and im sorta just going out to go with the flow, ill have a quarter bottle of scotch a feel crook.

But then it changes with beer, usually after a few I get to that nice drunk state, that state where everything all good, and everyone seems to be looking good :p

2 1/5ths of Captain Morgan will make me feel nice. 11 shots of Jose Quervo Gold in 20 minutes messes me up...I'll never do that again. I've recently discovered Jagermeister...never got drunk off of it (yet), but it's damn good. Highly recommended for those of you that drink the hard stuff.

At the moment I'm getting through 10 pints on a Friday - usually followed by a few shots down my local club - and that always seems to do the job (well I certainly feel like death warmed up on Saturdays !!)

Don't drink during the week tho, I think my liver will just about recover in time for the next Friday then ;)

lmao that should be over in the joke forum

For me all it takes is about 3 glasses of wine before I start feeling tipsy due to the fact that I do not know how to just sip liquids. Last fall my bf had a dinner for his company and I ended up getting completely blotto off 2 glasses of wine, a glass of grappa + baileys, a glass of baileys, and then another glass of grappa + baileys and ended up spending the next hour in the loo throwing up.

I was ok til I had the grappa + baileys cos I drank it so fast I didn't actually get a whiff of the smell of it until afterwards and thats what did it. Grappa is some evil smelling **** I'll tell you.

Year before last when I was in the process of moving back to Scotland after being away for almost 4 years my mates took me out for a goodbye type of thing and I ended up drinking half a bottle of bacardi before they had even picked me up and by the time we got to the steakhouse I was silly but 3 hours later I was already sober which is frightening.

At school though I spent most of my time with a bottle of voddy or cognac, didn't get drunk though as it would take more than a bottle before I even started feeling the effects and even then I would get rather quiet but the idea of being a complete alco at the age of 16 didn't really appeal so I dropped the booze until I turned 22 and now if we go out I'll stick to alcopops or singles of vodka. I have a long history of alcoholics on my mum's side of the family so I try to drink in moderation nowadays.

Yea but it probably wore off faster than if you hadn't taken those, its like a double edged sword. As for me, it usually takes me about 5 beers to get a good buzz, and to actually get drunk, it could take anywhere from 15-24, all depends on the duration and how full my stomache was, also hydration beforehand is a factor.

      WordArt was cool. We now have color fonts as a substitute although Word only supports COLRv0 and COLRv1 (Fraud OS 11 only). The OpenType SVG color font format needs to be supported by Office. Adobe's apps support it

      i backup my files, incl keepass to my proton drive using Syncback which i paid for (thanks Warwagon!). they have a free version but i can't remember what it does and doesn't do anymore. anyways, it's really, really simple and easy to use. i also periodically keep backups of my keepass onsite especially when i've changed or added a password that is important to me. if you don't wanna spend time on the syncthing setup, get syncback. haha i even got my dad to use it for his backups to usb and he doesn't even need my help!!! (thank god!)
