Nope, I have found that that rule definitly does not apply to me. I think that Kserg got it right, thinking about it it's been times when I've hopscotched from beer to liquor to beer to liquor that I got sick.
I've found that the most important factor is time, though. If you drink fast, no matter what it is, you'll get stinking drunk or sick easier than when you pace yourself.
sorry but thats not through either. if you drink fast and know that you can handle what your doing then you wont be sick. i go out on a wekend have about 6/7 southern comforts and red, 3/4 pints of miller and whatever else im handed to finish during the night. Im talking all that in a time frame of about 4 hours. i generally will go home fairly with an alright rasp of whats going on around me. I have never once got sick when ive been out. There has only been 3 times where alcohol has made me sick.
time 1: 13 bottles of roilling rock spread over 5 hours then decided it wasnt kicking in so i downed 2 and a half litres of cider in less than an hour. first time drinking cider aswell so that resulted in quite a lot of throwing up in my sleep. (i could have died, never atempt this)
time 2: went out for my brothers stag night, had 7/8 pints of beer, 1 pint of guinness, a baby guinness and a shot of sambuca. first time drinking spirits, totally balcked out woke up still kind of drunk and wsa pretty ill for the day.
time 3: went to a niteclub after downing 3 bottles of fosters, and 75cl of premixed margherita. then went into the club had another 2/3 pints then the free whiskey promotion started. i drank about 6 or so whiskeys and cant remember anything passed the 2nd one. i got mild alcohol poisoning after this one, it was the lethal mixture of spirits which i never suggest. for those of you who dont know margherita cocktails have a double tequilla in them so never mix spirits like that.
so if you drink to what you can handle and even go over it a bit as long as you are not thinking about getting sick you wont.
one other thing. htere are very few drinks that are acceptable for guys to drink
they are any beer, any cider, whiskey (includes jd, southie etc..), and shots of pretty much anything the best though for you guys to try are
1. jagermeister,
2. tequilla
3. brain hemourage(sp?)
4. silver bullet(golchlager and sambuce)
5. sambuca
and the final bit of advice, if you want to drink. its like everything you do you have to train your body first. i have been drinking for about 2 years. for a year and a half all that i drank was beer. then i started going to clubs and thats when i started drinking spirits. if you start off seriously drinking by drinking lots of spirits you will do serious damage to yourself. drinking beer or something else mild like cider will let your body build up a tolerance to alcohol. a lot of people see a tiny measure of whiskey and think, "how can this do me any harm?" what they forget is that that timy measure has at least 40% pure alcohol in it. if you start with this you will not be able to hold so hence the reason trhe original thread starter was violently sick and extremely drunk.
if you just dive in at the deep end you will seriously damge yur liver, so while drinking can be fun. unless you know what the consequences are then just please leave it tho those who know what they are doing.
