I´m just wondering about how much people usually drink without getting unusually drunk.

Measured in pints of beer: Everytime I go out I usually end up with 6-7 pints. Thats normal among my friends http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/barrel.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/medievalcheers.gif

Back in Spain, I would usually have 4 stronger drinks (gin or vodka or both usually) http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/bigthumb.gif

So, go on leave your wisdom, I will even accept criticism from non-drinkers. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/bigthumb.gif

I gave up drinking to excess years ago when I realised that getting drunk isn't cool, just that your peers expect it of you. You don't need to be drunk to have a good time.

I have the occasional glass of wine with a meal or sometimes a drop of Port in the evening, but thats about it.

The last time I got sillily drunk, I had had a bottle of wine followed by five double G&Ts. And I still managed to get back to my room (my college being about a mile away from where I was out.)

I can usually manage a bottle or so of wine before things start to get out of hand, probably more now... too much practice http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/barrel.gif

Never silly drunk, maybe a glass of wine at a dinner or a shot of bourbon in a milkshake every once and a while, but thats really it (ecept on Christmas, bring out the Port)

From a more sociological point of view, I observed that after you are 18, drinking loses its mistique and you dont drink that often. But you usually get drunker when you do http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/barrel.gif

Back in the day I had a pretty good tolerance for alcohol. I was still able to talk cohesively and walk straight after a bottle of wine and 3-4 beers. But with time, you realise how stupid that is, so in the last 5 or so years I had maybe 20 beers, and never drink more than a glass of nice wine with an occasional good meal.

Yeah right man http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/rolleyes.gif of course you drink that much.
I Generally have about 10 or 11 pints of guinness or sometime's instead smithwicks then maybe on or two smooth whiskeys to round the night. I tend not to go out as mush as I used to and I hardley ever go to a nightclub anymore.

the youth in denmark is the ones who drink the most in europe. Needless to say, I drink a lot

On an evening out I easily consume, 8-10 beers, a lot of vodka/schnaps/korn or other strong things that means a quatre of a bottle and then the random stuff that you are too drunk to remember you ever drank. And combine that with a couple of joint and Im in a good party mood http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Lasttime I got drunk, it involved a glass of champaign, 1 beer, one White Russian and 2 rum and cokes. I think there might have been some anonymous mixed drinks involved beyond that but I am not certain (not because I was that drunk but because it happened a while back ago)

Anyhow, 10-11 pints of guiness is the same amount of units as about 20 vodkas. I used to be able to drink more but I've found that as I get older my tolerance has gone down, or maybe it's just lack of practice

On a normal day out or an evening with friends I would drink about 3 beer or half a bottle of wine.

On some occasions it would be double of that (like a bottle of wine on an evening with a several course diner).

Sometimes a Scotch or two.

I try to avoid getting really drunk - there's just no fun in it (last time was more than 10 years ago)

Its not a matter of how much you drink but also of the time it takes you to drink that amount. Here in England people tend to drink a lot in a very small amount of time and get drunk in much less alcohol than tthe amount i would drink in my night out back home.
When i was 16-17 i was an animal when it comes to going out, i would start my night at 5 in the evening in a bar and finish clubbing at about 6 in the morning , during these 12-13 hours i would drink tons but i wouldnt exceed the level when alcohol would just give me a nice mood.
My maximum alcohol consumption was 2 bottles of vodka , it happened only once and it happened in a relatively short time , this was more one of the few times i did not control my drinking and it wasnt funny when i returned home and tried to stop the ceiling from spinning ( i also crashed into a hedge walking back :D ) .
Nowadays i do not go out much and i do not drink much either. I ll have a couple of pints in a pub and i ll usually stop there , the sight of all these guys puking out of the pub is a good detterant. At home i ll usually have half a bottle of wine or one beer but even this is rare nowadays ( 1-2 times per month maximum). Should the need arrise i ll drink more but i wont go from tipsy to drunk.

You dont even need 10 litres to die. I think that even a couple can kill you if you drink it all in once ( in 15 minutes for example). So when you start seing double and all the girls around you look stunning you better stop http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

I've drunk in moderation ever since.

I don't see anything wrong with drinking at all.

I go out with the same group of friends usually and we all drink, some more than me and some less. We go out, we get happy, we get drunk and we go home. We usually stick to our own group and don't cause trouble for anyone else. This week we have taxis booked to go out and to bring us back so no hanging around on the street. As for hangovers and being sick, if we get them we get them but not in the street.

What is wrong with this?

People say drinking is wrong, not true, it's being an @rsehole that wrong and some people don't need alcohol for that.

If the US government had spent half as much time warning of the addictive powers of alcohol as they did drugs, maybe, just maybe, one in seven drinkers wouldn't be alcoholic. And, no. An alcoholic won't admit to being alcoholic until the damage is done. Real rules of thumb? If you ever have to question how much you're drinking, then it's too much. Having blackouts? Then you've already crossed the line. Horrible disease. And there is no cure. None. For the one in seven, or roughly twenty million Americans, life eventually becomes a living hell. Suicide is often preferable, and the suicide rate is very high. Of course, there are those who have a family or social environment which fosters and accepts alcoholic behavior. Those folks seldom recognize a problem. The just eventually die.

Do I drink? No. Not for years. Have nothing against someone who wishes to. Just be aware of the dangers. You certainly would be if the alcohol industry in the US wasn't one of the strongest lobbies.

As of the topic it really depends. If, for instance, there's this big BBQ party where there's food, music and ladies http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif I can have more than 0.5 liter of vodka and 2-3 beers WITHOUT getting embarrassingly drunk. Some of my friends can have more.

Don't want to ruin your fun, but ethyl alcohol is ethyl alcohol; it makes absolutely no difference what form you acquire it in. The effect and damage is the same for a given amount of alcohol. Of course, percentage varies from type to type, and brew to brew. But the effect of one beer or one drink of the hard stuff is the same. It's typical for those approaching alcoholism or already alcoholic to drink more concentrated beverages; ie, whiskey/liquor. But you can do yourself in strictly on beer. One of the funniest lines I have ever heard was a guy who told me he couldn't possibly be an alcoholic because he only drank beer. Sadly, that perception is common. We all know numerous alcoholics. You just might not be aware of it. Contrary to popular misconception, they don't all wear trench coats, clutch paper bags, and sleep under bridges. More often than not, they are your doctor, minister, brother, mother. I'm a Celt by ancestry, and Celts have a genetic predisposition for alcoholism. I never really suspected while growing up that I came from a family that had a history of alcoholism. Now I do. That fact has explained a lot to me about what is normal and what is not.

Im a spirits man myself, and usually go for jack daniels, southern comfort or some type of vodka. My tolerance level for spirits is pretty good and i can usually drink about 10 assorted spirits before i get blottered. With spirits though the main problemo for me is that it takes a while for the drink to hit me so i can stand at the bar, drinking them away and not realise it until an hour later when im lying on the floor http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-confused.gif

My beer tolerance is worse though. Id say 4-5 pints and i feel slightly drunk. Cant stand the taste either.

She seemed like a lot of fun when we started out, but I had to kick her to the curb in the end...we just weren't meant for each other.

Beer and I get along just fine. 2-3 after work, and I get a bit drowsy. I wake up in the same bed every morning now, and there's still money in the wallet, and no lost time, and no angry bosses, and no marks on my hands that I can't explain.

As they say it in the military, I drink for effecthttp://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/medievalcheers.gif The problem is, my tolerance level is pretty high, for all sorts of alcohol, so I have to devour inhumane quantities to actually get drunkhttp://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/barrel.gif That creates certain problems when I drink beer, the frequent visits to the head is what I mean, but it works better with stronger stuff like tequila or Jack. I also don't choose the choice of my poison all too precisely, with me anything goes.

Hehe, as a side note, and you will probably hate me for it, even when I have had vast amounts of alcohol that would kick over any regular guy, I can stand straight and walk the line without no problem, and if I want, I can behave as if I was completely sober and fool almost anyone. Also, I never get sick in the morning nor do I experience nausea, I never had to hold the porcelain dish and give up the contents of what I had last night; basically, the term hangover is undiscovered country for me http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/tongue.gif
