Beer through a straw

You can gulp, let's say 24oz. of beer from a mug and get more beer in your system faster, with less swallowing than fooling around with sucking 24oz. through a straw. Either way cannot make you more drunk than the other.

The percentage of alcohol in beer does not increase weather it's consumed through a straw, snorted up your nose or bonged into your bunghole.:rolleyes:

As someone mentioned before, women sometimes use a straw so they don't mess up their lipstick. These high maintenance women usually travel in packs, are dressed better than the others, wear a lot of facial makeup, sip cheap light beer, have no intentions of getting drunk and putting their dolled up lips on a low life bass player anyway.:D
 
By the way I have never understood that culture of trying to get drunk faster, what is the point? If you ask me the fun part is when you are not drunk but "happy" , drinking enough to get there and not get drunk is the art of social drinking, drinking just to get drunk is a problem me thinks...

I whole heartedly agree with this.

i have buddys who jock you for not drinking more or fast enough ( I am 46 years old for cripes sake, not a college frat boy), most lay off when i tell em to F--k off I drink how I want to drink, but there is one (a Drummer of all things :rolleyes:) who would never let up. Finally at a house party he was being relentless to the point of me wanting to cockpunch him, i finally at the top of my lungs said , "Oh drinking is a competitive sport for you, well I concede, you win. You win a nasty ass hangover tomorrow, you win the chance to be an ass and alienating a majority of these fine people here, and the grand prize, when you pass out , I get the honor of taking a sharpie to any exposed skin on you" at that point he apologized and has never bothered me again about not wanting to participate in his alcoholic olympics. I like my beer, but I pace myself so I DON'T overdo it
