Any food eaten before you drink will absorb some of the alcohol, thus reducing its effect on you. (Conversely, drinking on an empty stomach will have a greater effect.)

As S7@1T3D said, pace yourself. Your liver can only handle so much at once (a healthy liver processes about one fluid ounce, or 28mL, of alcohol per hour). Too much will cause intoxication, and all the effects that go with it.

Finally, to avoid a major hangover after your drinking, make sure that you drink water from time to time while you are drinking alcohol. Alternating between an alcoholic drink and water, one for one, is generally a safe bet, but you can get away with less.

[S7@1T3D]

You process around 1 standard drink a hour basically. You drink 2x 1.5 standard drinks you have to wait 3 hours for it to be totally gone. Thats average MAN though, no dwarves, women, giants and fat people.

eat crackers while drinking (absorbs achole like none other), get your body used to drinking.

sorry bad spelling

There's no way you're holding two bottles of vodka .

Eating food essentially fills in for pacing yourself; it's the same alcohol content you're drinking but you process it slower.

Being proud of holding your drink is an under-age thing by the way. My friends always express their jealousy at my ability to get hammered from a few cans. It's easier on the wallet and I don't have to start drinking at lunchtime to be drunk that night (like one unfortunate soul). Still, if I could make myself less tolerant I would.

[S7@1T3D]

Smoking alot of pot and hardly hitting the booze anymore so around 6 pack now and im buzzin.

My goal when drinking is to feel good, not drink a certain measurement of alchohol, always works out great for me, I get drunk off my face, never vomit and pass out and only have minor hang overs. A good way to do this is to be completely oblivious to how much you have drunk, best way is to establish between who ever you are spending the night with that it isn't a pissing contest. Some friends of mine try to out-do each other and end up vomiting their entire stomach contents then passing out missing the rest of the night, then waking up feeling completely shit.
I always eat before I drink, it makes me feel better for some reason, I may have to fork out a little bit extra to get my desired feeling but if I don't eat, I usually feel pretty crook the next day.

Also, I try to choose less % alchohol content drinks, that way you can still regulate how drunk you get. It takes longer to drink X of amount of can's (7 or 8%) then X amount of shots (38%+). End result will be pretty similar and you can still manage not going over.
For example my friend decided to drink straight from a vodka 40% bottle, (Age 15 at the time) After 2 minutes with the bottle he stopped, walked around for a bit then almost died from alchohol poisoning. Spent the rest of the night in a pool of his own vomit.

eating wont absorb alcohol just keep you drunker longer. which is nice i think. however youll probably be hung over if you do that.

yah i like getting drunk off of minimal stuff. i agree with headcase entirely.

Yes it does because it absorbs the alcohol so your body has to digest the food before i will get most of the alcohol, but it might keep you drunk longer because it will be like a time release capsule with it releasing slowly.

I got high on 6 shots of vodka lol. Well, i ate a little bit before drinking so its not that bad. Ate a little more after i took 6 shots and started drinking 2 more shots.

[ilovetoblowthingsup]

Yes the food that you eat absorbs the alcohol that you have taken in.

You got drunk.
Not sure why but it bothered me when I read it.

[ilovetoblowthingsup]

Wait, what is the definition of getting drunk? Is it merely passing out or getting high itself?

[Paranoid Ecstasy]

When you drink, you get drunk.
It's just what you call it when you get "high" on alcohol.

[ilovetoblowthingsup]

Ahh I see. I've always thought that getting drunk meant that you actually pass out and get a hangover etc.

[AngryAngry]

I think it's stupid, but hey, if that's what you want to do...

Alternate between water and alcohol.
So for each sip of vodka you take, you'd better take 2 sips of water. Eat well before drinking, and keep eating chips and sweets (fat and charbonhydrates) while drinking.

DON'T DRINK ON AN EMPTY STOMAKE ! I once got drunk late in the evening on an empty stomach, I hadn't eaten anything since my small breakfast. If you do this, you get drunk quickly, but your stomache will hurt like hell after a while (about 3 hours later for me), and you'll get a terrible hangover...
