tips on drinking?

Seconded for the pint of water once in awhile. Every two pints of beer or two shots, drink a pint of water. It's much better for your liver, you will be able to drink way more and stay relatively functional and you won't become dehydrated from taking a leak so often. Also, I highly recommend taking a multivitamin just before you go to bed.

Other than that, have a blast! :D

you're 23, so maybe you haven't figured out that "it's ok" means "hey, it's your funeral" in the lady speak yet. I'm pullin up a barstool, baby. subscribed
 
Like others have said, don't mix drinks, drink water, eat something greasy before hand, as well as something with a fair bit of carbs. I always chug a 32oz of gatorade right before I'm about to go to bed and take a multivitamin as well. I keep a bottle of B vitamin complex pills by my bed with my morning gatorade as well so I can function the next day.

Know your time frame, if you're there to have a good time for a long time, drink lighter beers, if you're there to get trashed and then do the real "partying" at her place, either do mixers, heavy beers, or body shots off the server with the biggest boobs (did I say that?)
 
Thunderscreech's tips on drinking:
  • when in doubt, consume.
  • beer chasers are a good idea most of the times that they are good ideas
  • DO. NOT. CHUG. WATER.
  • 40's are bad ideas. Always.
  • Especially after 3 beers and a pint of Hurricane
  • The higher the gravity, the harder the hangover...sometimes.
  • Wine is disgusting.
  • Did I mention not chugging the water?
  • Do not induce vomiting.
  • Keep some Tums/Rolaids/Alka-seltzer handy. this helps with the "firebelly" effect.
  • The lesser the additives, the lesser the hangover (i.e. do not drink wine due to sulfur compounds, drink rum because there is less other hydrocarbons in it and you will not die)
  • alcoholic beverages and fire are a bad decision. Leave the fire at home.
  • remember what Snoop Dogg said about Tanqueray and chronic
  • a lot of the little 50 mL "Airplane" bottles are often a better value than several large bottles. You have a wider variety and this makes drinking games more fun.
  • if it seems like a good idea, the actual goodness of the idea decreases on a linear scale with the number of beers/drinks/shots taken.
  • this rises exponentially if you're doing other things while drinking
  • don't drive. the liquor store will always be closed by the time you get there.
  • SIP on the water, DO NOT CHUG IT.
  • don't actually chug anything unless you're doing beer bongs with natty lite or miller lite or something that isn't strongly flavored and is close to 34 deg. F.
  • mixers are fun. be creative. Mix several mixers, and see what happens.
  • Free Pizza/Chinese Delivery: preventing Drunk Driving since 1934
  • Pizza and Chinese food go best with alcohol. Plus they deliver it to your house.
  • Put the keg in the bathtub.
  • when you go to sleep, SLEEP ON YOUR SIDE OR STOMACH, BECAUSE OTHERWISE YOU MIGHT WAKE UP TRYING TO BREATHE YOUR OWN VOMIT AND THEN YOU'LL DIE.
  • if someone else passes out, turn then on their side. They will thank you later when they wake up not-dead from attempting to breathe stomach fluids.
  • there is a fine line between doing something epic and doing something that is an epic fail. You will know this line when you cross it, but it will be too late anyway.
  • A sink or a trashcan is always better than the floor...

All of these have been gained from more or less personal experience.

its usualy not good to go drinking with another woman, when your's isn't there.

thats my drinking tip of the day.


This, too....
 
Ah,I remember now.


Alcohol and corn on the cob.Don't do it.

That night was Wild Turkey American Honey (Sent to the stage frequently by the bar owner) lots and lots of tall draft beers, a couple of Jager Bombs, and for some weird reason Tequila Rose to finish things off.

Sound Guy: Puked
Guitar Player: Puked
Singer: Doesn't drink, but still got stoopid(er)
Drummer: Deep Throated Corn On The Cob
Bass Guy: Deep Throated Corn On The Cob

Maybe I shoulda puked instead.........
