The key lesson I can offer you as a life long alcohol connoisseur (my wife's title for my routine since young adulthood) is this:Originally Posted by Byzantine Prince
Learn what your limit is with various types of alcohol. I can drink an ungodly amount of 4.5% Alcohol by volume beer and have no issues. This is not a boast, and I am not impressed with myself. I simply can drink alot of regular beer. Probably could drink a 40 pack to myself in one day without getting sick or blacking out or losing control.
I take about a half gallon of Bacardi to reach my borderline.
And Tequila or Jaigermeister will do me in about 5 or 6 shots. Max.
I also refuse to drink both because one makes me ill and the other makes me mean.
Just learn your responsible limit. Never lose control. You should never puke from too much alcohol. That's no fun. Neither is barfing in your own beer and then drinking it again. And getting chiefed by your buddies is something that I will never allow to occur.
The second and parrallel piece of advice I would give is to ALWAYS plan your night. Not to the minute or anything crazy, but have a rough sketch of where you plan to start, how you plan to travel, and how you plan to get through the night alive.
The dead guys I see in my investigations are the ones who had no plan for the night.
Simple sketch:
(1) Pre-flight at buddy's house. Buddy #4 is the designated driver.
(2) Buddy #4 drives everyone to club/movie/food/entertainment/etc.
(3) Drink more and have fun. Buddy #4 does not drink AT ALL. NOT EVEN ONE.
(4) Buddy #4 drives everyone home and makes sure nobody gets in a fight.
Alternative plan cause Buddy #4 couldn't resist drinking:
(4a) everyone chips in for a cab and the car gets left overnight.
Always have a plan and know your limits and you will have many many wildly fun nights where everyone survives. Nothing is worse then waking up to find out somebody didn't make it alive.
These are the golden rules of mature alcohol consumption. Pretty simple.
edit: always plan for late night munchies. Sucks to take a cab home to where there is no food. Or to drink all night and be hungry at 3am only to discover the pizza delivery is closed.
