When I go out, I have 2 modes, either I pace myself, or I go all out. When I go all out, I have a lot of fun, but I don't get laid... well because I'm going way too hamsy, taking my shirt off on occasion like a troll and getting kicked out of clubs. But... it's just so much fun, to really just let loose and not give a fuck.

How do you find the right medium? What's your strategy? Some people can game sober, but I'm definitely not at that point yet. I'm comfortable sober, and I can talk to chicks. But, with the right amount of alcohol, sometimes magic ensues and I make a girl crazy.

Help me out brethren, how do you deal with your alcohol limits? Do you have a limit? How do you find balance?

Thanks

Have just a few drinks, or don't drink at all.

Just know alcohol is not necessary to get laid.

How old are you? I didn't learn how to be ok with a slight buzz until I was 28. Mixing drugs helps too.*


*I don't advocate illicit activities. Do them at your own risk. Your mileage may vary. Yadda yadda yadda.

He's a troll, and you're....bedridden with a seriously injured ankle (?)from an accident you got yourself in when intoxicated?

Denial is not a river in DC. I wish you a full recovery, but also believe you might think about where alcohol can lead you.

Says the guy on happy meds. Lol.

Not sure I understand iknowexactly. Or is he arguing with the other guy?

Anyways, I'm in my mid twenties. My ultimate goal is to be able to master the lifestyle sober, which I'm getting there. Like, I have no trouble conversing with females and I don't get nervous. But, with alcohol, sometimes I let the inner animal loose and to some ladies, it's toxic.

Or i'm completely delusional. Which Is why I posted this, to learn from others, maybe who's treaded the waters before.

I lied about what happened to my foot. I was drunk, thats true but didn't tell the story. The owner of my apartments wife and daughter came in and pushed me down. I was scared and tried to run. Thats when I broke my ankle running away.

Some people are belligerent drunks. I know because I'm one of them. It's good that you are trying to move away from the crutch of liquid courage, but if you are going to go out at night it's going to suck if you are sober. When I go out I limit myself to 3 pints of beer with a lot of hops. That way I get more of a hops buzz than an alcohol buzz. It makes me a much more pleasant person to deal with.

Huh? I take St. John's Wort, an OTC herb for mood. It's a happy med, true.
Alcohol, when use ends up in hospitalization, seems like an inferior, unhappy med.

I prefer the happy med.

lmao, chill out IKE. AliB is just being ali-B.

Emech has the best drinking equation for a night out. I got drunk and can't remember it though.

Don't forget to brush on gaming barmaids.

Agree with Ali - alcohol is going to help most guys get laid. It is what it is. A minority of men are going to pull the same numbers sober. There's a reason why Muslim countries are anti-alcohol.

3 pints is plenty if you're not a heavy drinker. I wouldn't even consider that light drinking and I drink much more than that on a typical night out.

Considering the United States is in the middle of Prohibition #2 I think it is a smart idea to move away from alcohol/drugs. I'm not saying things will be better without them because they won't.

I just don't like the idea of getting my life destroyed by a DUI or some other heavy handed law and losing my ability to make a living. As soon as you drink one beer just about anything you do after that point is considered a felony. Super gay but I just don't want to deal with it anymore so I'm looking for new ways to game.

You're right about Prohibition #2. Every single year law enforcement becomes visibly stricter on this.

Just another reason why young people are fleeing the suburbs and moving to walkable cities. The law of unintended consequences at work - the police are encouraging young people to not drive and in fact we're seeing kids delaying getting licenses and not buying cars.

I live in the city so I usually cab or walk. Every once in awhile I ride the motorcycle, but that's rare and I make a sincere effort to have just a few drinks (dumb I know, but again very rare). Point is I don't have any fears of getting a DUI or breaking the law while drunk, practice common sense, and don't start too many fights. It's about gaming, fuck the police.

Anyways, I guess it's all circumstantial, but big takeaway is I just gotta learn to pace myself and not get too comfortable leaning on drinks when I find myself at a loss of what to do. And, if every once in awhile, I get hamsy and go buck wild, then it is what it is, as long as it doesn't become a habit.

Yeah, heavy handed DUI laws have killed suburb logistics. If you are single and in the burbs god help you. Right after college several of my friends got DUI's because they planted their flag in the suburbs.

This really sucks for guys who don't like living in cities. Either they live somewhere they don't like or they don't have game opportunities.

On the other hand, if you like cities and can afford a nice one bedroom downtown in a good building then you pretty much have it made.

This is really going to mess with the economy. People who live in cities don't buy trucks, trailers, boats, campers, atv's, snowmobiles, or anything really besides clothing and minimalistic furniture. All the other money goes toward rent or HOA fees and some basic entertainment.

If I owned a boat dealership or anything similar I'd probably be looking to cash out.

Alcohol is a great tool.

I just don't believe it should be something you strictly depend on.

Accept that part of drunk game is committing mistakes that you wouldn't normally make. It's the Brett Favre/Tony Romo school of quarterbacking. High risk/ high reward. You might have the ability to score a TD on any play, but then there's also the risk you'll throw that critical interception. As long as you drink to excess, you can't really minimize the risk of doing something retarded. The only real solution here is drink less. But then you miss out on that magic.

Just don't go out on an empty stomach. It's fine to get drunk when that's part of your game plan - just don't find yourself getting trashed after a couple of drinks without realizing it. Or worse, before even doing a single approach. It's an easy ticket to throwing away a whole night (and next morning/afternoon in a hangover).
