Thread: How many beers does it take

I don't know.. there's no certain number. It will depend on your tolerance level. 20% is pretty weak for a liquor. The lowest percentage in a liquor I've ever had is 17% and that's Hpnotiq. Most alcohols I drink are 40% plus. I'd say since it's your first time, maybe drink half a glass of a %40 percent, if you can find one, then wait about 10-20 minutes to see if you feel any type of effects, then try again. I wouldn't drink over a glass your first try though.

Unless it's beer, right?

By the way, thanks. You knowlege is beyond your underage years.

Yeah beer is weak, most anyways. I think Bud Light is like 2.?% alcohol. Steel Reserve (never had it but heard it's disgusting) is like 6% or 7% one. They all differ from each other. What type of beer does your dad and dad's friend have? Or do you know?

For beer, you could just drink that out of the can, or bottle. One or two beers would be good for your first try.

My first time drinking, the first type of alcohol ever I had was Smirnoff Ice (it was the orange flavored one, I forgot the name though [something twist I think], that was the only time I drank it). Smirnoff Ice is 5.?% alcohol, they're good if you want something with flavor to it. I can't get drunk off of them easily though, I usually get full off of them, they don't go through you like beer and liquors, or not for me anyways. I never got drunk from that 1 Smirnoff, but the second time I drank I had 8 Bud Lights, and I was pretty lit. I wouldn't say drunk, but I was REALLY BUZZED.

My dad is into the micro brews and my friend's dad just buys chea shit like Bud

I'd go with the Bud Light then. It'll also be safer since he has a larger supply.

Like SmoothGroove said, and I said earlier, pace yourself when you drink. Just don't guzzle alcohol down (especially if it's strong), it'll hit you hard. Drink until you start feeling a buzz, try to maintain the buzz. If you get drunk,be sure you can stop yourself, just try to keep a good buzz. It's sometimes hard to stop yourself when you get drunk, you may keep on and eventually pass out.

I mean, for my first time, I can't pull off more than two beers, and then there is my friend, who will want some, so I's either start off with 1 or watch him with 2. no way could I take 2+ first time

It'll take you about 2-4 beers to start feeling tipsy.

You should buy 2 40oz's of Olde English per person... it'll come to like 3 dollars a piece and it'll get you pretty good.

An don't steal liquor from your parents... that's shady as hell.

Is your dad pretty easy going? If he is you should ask him sometime if you can drink a little bit of a beer.

Beer tastes crappy unless you're already drunk with very few exceptions (Corona and Yeungling)

Play it safe. I remember the first time me and a couple of mates got drunk (I was 13 at the time, so naturally I was an idiot), we had about a litre of absolut vodka, a few beers and a few alco-pops.

I had drunk a little before that, so I understood what was coming, but some of my friends had never been properly drunk before. I drank 2 beers, an alcopop and a shot of vodka and i was nicely drunk, so decided not to push my luck (being 13 and all).
I went inside my friends house, came back outside, and witnessed two of my friends sculling the rest of the absolut straight from the bottle. I then realised that shit was about to go nuts. And it did. And I helped clean up alot of vomit that night and one of those two friends hasn't touched hard liqour since.

I know I might sound like a fussy parent at the moment even though i'm just a fellow 16 y.o, but try really gauge your limits before hitting the hard stuff. I've heard too many stories from friends who have drank too much on the first time and never gone near the drink again. Funner in moderation also, gets boring very fast on its own, so appreciate it while its new .
