Ugh. I remember a kid I know walking around with some other kids, met up with us (who were already partying all day). We're all prolly 4 years older than them, but they had their own alcohol anyway, so I figured why not?
Took them to my place, played a game of "Strikeout"...ugh.
Ended up sitting with the kid on the beach until 2AM, freezing to death, calling my buddy (we had to 2 man lift his dead-weight *** into the back of his car) and then he puked all over my couch and I took him home in the morning.
Lesson learned. I haven't even talked to anyone that young since. Nobody that wasn't family anyway (my little cousin can drink like a champ lol)
I could hold my alcohol like noone else I knew, yet I always drank to much and ended up throwing up 8/10. Has nothing to do with holding your alcohol. Drink more than you can handle, you'll throw up, be it 3 beers or 30 beers, drink 4 or 31 and you'll be on that porcelain throne. I would always lose count, and end up drinking one to many.
In canada it's 14 year olds you shouldn't buy alcohol for. Most 18 years have been drinking for years, and lots of them can purchase alcohol themselves.
Personally, I can vomit and keep drinking (I haven't in ages, but I can). When I put myself past my limit, I way, way WAY overdid. To be at the point this kid was who was passed out on my couch...I don't think I've ever been there more than one time. (halloween, cop was coming, bottoms upped...)
I've drank so much I had to go to sleep on a number of occasions. I've drank until I vomited a number of times. But to actually be passed out and unable to move?
Maybe I've learned to space out my drinks enough so I know how much the last one I drank effected me, but god damn...I don't think I ever acted like I see some kids acting at parties. I don't count my drinks, but I know when its time to stop. 9 out of 10 times, before its too much for me to hold.
There is a golden zone. I can stay within that zone all night long (if not being forced to play drinking games). I hate people who need drinking games to get drunk.
I'm thinking the last time I threw up was New Years, and it was just once. I blame the car ride. I've always gotten car sick, and when I'm drunk as hell, I get extra sick lol. I say that because I got out of the car and puked, and then was 100% OK.
I used to drink quite a bit, but I've limited my consumption to a fifth of gin and a liter of cranberry juice for the night. Or tonic water if I'm feeling like that. A shot and a beer here and there, and I'm good.
Yeah. I have a couple beers every now and then. Usually don't get a buzz. I go to my golden zone when I'm social drinking. The only time I've ever blacked out was on my 19th birthday. Weddings have a tendency of fucking me up though...
