how much alcohol does it take to you drunk?


Recommended Posts

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

If i was to drink, I would drink till a drop dead, then wake up and puke all over the place :evil:

but the questions is.. how many will that be? and would u do it? :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 ;)

a gallon of everclear... then i start to feel it.

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.

well since i'm only 21 and still enjoy drinking alot and partyin', it takes about 14-16 beers for me to be drunk, but a bit more to be off my rocker...heh...the only problem with a high tolerance is it costs more to get drunk :( :ermm:

I know the feeling .... the more often i drink .. the more i have to spend to get drunk!!!!!! Got to love canadian beer, it is just brilliant, that and no one cares about under age drinking!

i used to be able to drink 3/4 of a 26 of absolut mixed with any fruit juce/punch... but i noticed i kept getting drunker and drunker on the less i drank... once i was taking some energy boosting pills, and it only took me the neck of the vodka bottle to get drunk, thats like 1 shot!! and i was completely out of it, i couldnt even walk

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.

    • First time clicking on a Sayan Sen article after he started making clickbait, vague headlines recently. Didn't read, just came here to say the headline doesn't look like very cheap, vague clickbait this time. Are you okay?
    • Good review, and yeah the benchmark breakdown is pretty clear but also a little messy in a good way. It’s kinda interesting to see where the RX 9070 GRE slides in between the 7800 XT and the 9070 XT , especially when it comes to AI tasks and Blender style workloads. The side by side with Nvidia’s RTX 5070 and 4070 makes it feel obvious just how competitive the mid range GPU scene has gotten lately, and that’s great for creators and gamers too since you can pick based on your priorities rather than only chasing one single thing.
    • That's it. I finally uninstalled Firefox because they often keep pushing buggy updates, only to test them later and make users suffer. No longer is it my alternative browser to Edge. What a waste of energy. Firefox is bad for the environment, just like Chrome (wasting RAM/energy).
    • Microsoft Weekly: new Surface, Windows 11 26H2, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft announcing Windows 11 version 26H2, launching new Surface devices powered by Snapdragon X2 processors, GTA VI preorder date and cover art, fresh Windows 11 preview builds, a quirky phone-sized e-reader with a physical dial, and more.

Alongside Windows 11's new preview builds released this week, Microsoft confirmed version 26H2, which is coming later this year as an enablement package based on the same platform as versions 24H2 and 25H2. A newly published blog post details what IT admins should do to prepare for the upcoming launch. Next, we have new Windows 11 bugs. Users report that this month's security updates for Windows 11 cause all sorts of issues, including BitLocker bugs, OneDrive issues, black screens of death, and third-party integration in Office apps. Microsoft has not confirmed those yet, but it acknowledged other issues with its operating system. What Microsoft has confirmed is a bug where Recycle Bin delete prompts display internal file names instead of actual ones, and a year-old Windows JScript compatibility bug caused by security-focused engine changes. Moving to more positive news, Microsoft and Adobe are working on improving Windows performance in popular creative apps like Photoshop. Thanks to SPGO optimizations, users can expect up to 20% better performance. Finally, we have a few useful articles that can help you recover your PC or make it perform better. For one, we published a guide detailing what to do if your computer cannot boot after a clean Windows 11 install. There are two important steps you can try to get your system back to working in no time.

This week, Microsoft announced its newest Surface devices powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon X2 processors. There is the 12th-gen Surface Pro and the 8th-gen Surface Laptop.

The Surface Laptop also received a new haptic trackpad.

Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week Earlier this week, we reviewed the DuRoBo Krono, a portable, phone-sized e-reader with some interesting physical controls. This device has an Apple Watch-like dial for page turning, frontlight adjustment, and more. Software is simple and no-nonsense, but it also lacks some useful features and customization. Overall, the device proved interesting, but not flawless. On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. Forza Horizon 6 received two big updates this week. Alongside the Series 2 content update, developers pushed plenty of bug fixes and balancing tweaks.
