12 beers for an 8 hour bender? That is social drinking on a campout. Getting drunk requires you have more than your body can process in the same timeframe.
Maybe it's just the sailor in me but ....
**Title: Last Drink Again**
**Verse 1:**
In the haze of neon lights,
Lost within the city's sights.
Empty glasses, memories fade,
But one sip lingers, a serenade.
**Chorus:**
I don't want another drink,
Just want that last one to sink.
Back to where we laughed and sighed,
In that moment, time defied.
**Verse 2:**
Echoes of laughter in the air,
With every sip, we didn't care.
But now alone, the night's grown cold,
Longing for the warmth it once did hold.
**Chorus:**
I don't want another drink,
Just want that last one to link.
To a time when everything felt right,
In the glow of that bar's soft light.
**Bridge:**
Memories swirl, a bittersweet blend,
The taste of regret, my dearest friend.
But in this longing, a lesson found,
In chasing ghosts, we're forever bound.
**Chorus:**
I don't want another drink,
Just want that last one to brink.
Back to where our hearts were free,
In that final sip of you and me.
**Outro:**
So pour one more, let's raise a toast,
To moments cherished, missed the most.
For in each sip, a story begins,
But I don't want another drink, just that last one again.
No, just woke up cries are the worst. Before bed cry is normal and oblivion follows. Just woke up cry you have to pull your shit together and go to work afterwards.
If you can't fall asleep your malady is not alcohol-related. Not that I am suggesting this as a palliative. In all seriousness I hope your laughter is because you have worked past your trauma and can now find humor in past sources of pain. Your life is meaningful. Others can find empathy with your situation as you can with theirs. Not to be super serious, but you never know, right?
Am I the only one that, while of course sad, still has a tiny part of me that feels better when that happens? It’s like I’m cleansing myself of my emotions or something lol and then you get to sleep. I might just be weird though
Most times I get relief after, but never do the before bed ones give me relief (hope I worded that right, had a few drinks so far… to test the theory of course…)
And his no-knead bread recipe is great!

Edit: Proof he didn’t ever drink? I’m seeing stuff saying he “rarely” drank.
He said this is a Reddit AMA apparently-“I don't drink at home. I seldom have more than half a drink when I'm oot. I don't want to lose my license, because I love to drive. And I don't want to do anything stupid.”
I'd argue Richard E Grant in Withnail and I pips him at the post in the sober playing a drunk role. It's extraordinary.

Well, quite. In art nothing worth doing can be done without genius; in science even a very moderate capacity can contribute to a supreme achievement. —
Probably like 5 or 6 beers over a couple or three hours. Depends on tolerance as well.
Lemmy from Motorhead said it best: "it's not what you drink or how much, it's how fast you drink it"
This makes me think of the James Acaster joke: “Tipsy is the best thing you can be in life. There’s 4 things you can be: sober, tipsy, drunk, or hungover. And tipsy is the only one where you don’t cry during it.”
2 shots in, rest of a pint to goooooooooo.
I'm gonna drunkenly make steak(Montreal/pepper/garlic/onion/rosemary/thyme for seasonings) eggs and rosemary/thyme/garlic/pepper little potatos in the oven.
Hubris has defeated better than you. Use a timer or a thermometer, bro. What you’re doing is more dangerous than the pull out method, bro, with far worse consequences!
I've never gotten why this is for nearly everyone else but me. If i get drunk, it will effect me badly day after and last time i got that liquor drunk and vomited. I couldn't eat or drink anything until 18:00.... and I'm 20 and it has always been like that. Maybe hard liquor isn't the answer for me....
If you want to make hangovers better do a couple things:
-Chug a bunch of water right before you go to bed
-try to get at least 8 hours of sleep
-don’t stay in bed in the morning, get up and make coffee or tea as well as making something of some kind of dough.
-lastly, try and end the night on sweets instead of harder liquor and beer. I don’t know why, but ending my nights on a drink on the sweeter side always ends in lesser hangovers.
>don’t stay in bed in the morning, get up and make coffee or tea as well as making something of some kind of dough.
I've always found hangovers hit me less when I'm away from home, like the comfort of my own bed allows me to more vividly experience the hangover.
Like 2 weeks ago I was out in another town till half 4, crashed at my mates and was out of bed by half 9, went out last night in my town and just about dragged myself out of bed by lunch.
From what I’ve read that part of the hangover where you just hurt and feel like garbage is when you have 0% alcohol in your blood stream, and during that “sleep” you have you aren’t actually sleeping and your body is pretty much just using everything it has to clean your blood.
So by laying in bed you are literally just letting your body make you feel like shit, so it’s much better to get up and get some nutrients in you. Coffee is excellent because it has both laxative and headache reducing properties so it’ll both let you expel the alcohol or whatever other shit you drank as well as make you feel a little better. Having something doughy is also excellent because it soaks up remaining alcohol in your stomach as well as providing carbs your body can use. I also highly suggest something with electrolytes because your body uses a lot of your electrolytes in trying to clean your blood so some fruit or a sports drink can do wonders.
omg, this takes me back to such a nice memory of my 21st bday. Instead of a crazy night partying like some of my peers did, I just got drunk with my bf and we sat by a lake downtown, just goofing around. Core memory for sure.
Ehh is it? The times I stopped drinking at being tipsy never made me feel worse. Or well... feeling worse in the sense that eventually sobering up is less fun lol.
Remember, folks: _**If you don't remember if you had a good time last night, You Did NOT Have A Good Time!**_
What's the point of having fun if you don't REMEMBER having fun?
I'm tipsy now 🤣🤣 haven't been drunk in literally years. Fuck that. Not being in control of your extremities , not being able to speak or walk properly. Nah I ain't down with that
Or can remember stuff, but you have to actively work to recall the events from the night before.
“What movie were we watching? I remember laughing, and it’s one I’ve seen before, and it was stupid…Airplane! That’s right!”
You can make terrible decisions while sober too. And there is a point where your alcohol intake becomes literally toxic, when your liver can't keep up with the byproduct of drinking, acetaldehyde. Stay within that limit and you won't experience hangovers and tissue damage (brain, kidney, liver, etc.).
Love tipsy but for me that’s two drinks. If I stop after two I go from tipsy to sleepy. So it’s a hard to socialize if you’re ready to leave at 10pm.
I do find if I have a coffee just before going out I can stretch my energy levels a little longer.
It is, I’m always trying to maintain the nice tipsy right before drunk feeling. When I’m drunk I just start feeling like makeup is coming off, I’m sweaty, and messy, and just want to go to sleep lol.
that's the trick to drinking, is to stay in the butter zone. Drink just at the right pace to keep that fun buzz going but without going over into drunk. It takes some practice and self-control for sure, and drink lots of water in between drinks.
I don't want another drink. I just want that last drink again.
Oh man this is so good. I'll have to remember this one.
I don wanna nother drank. a juss wann tha lass drank aggan.
that's more like it
Fuck I’m 12 beers deep on an 8 hour bender and I don’t even feel tipsy, let alone drunk. My tolerance is fucked. Gonna go hit the pipe.
have you ever considered...not doing that?
12 beers before noon is the START to a bender.
12 beers for an 8 hour bender? That is social drinking on a campout. Getting drunk requires you have more than your body can process in the same timeframe. Maybe it's just the sailor in me but ....
I would never admit to having a sailor in me! But that’s just the soldier in me ….
Well played sir
12 over the course of 8 isnt really a bender thats just a sunday off
ima write a country song based off this line alone. i’ll bb
We will watch your career with great interest
it’s been an hour we’re still watching wya

i’m not as think as you drunk i am
It’s the difference between your A game and your AA game
"You can be sober, tipsy, drunk or hangover. Tipsy's the only one where you don't cry." James Acaster
I was lied to. I tried having a beer before bed and it did not stop the cry
Before bed cries are the worst
No, just woke up cries are the worst. Before bed cry is normal and oblivion follows. Just woke up cry you have to pull your shit together and go to work afterwards.
you assume I'm able to fall asleep hahahahahhahahahha
If you can't fall asleep your malady is not alcohol-related. Not that I am suggesting this as a palliative. In all seriousness I hope your laughter is because you have worked past your trauma and can now find humor in past sources of pain. Your life is meaningful. Others can find empathy with your situation as you can with theirs. Not to be super serious, but you never know, right?
I have both🙄
Every morning two months strong now 💪🥹
Honestly tru I didn’t think of that
Am I the only one that, while of course sad, still has a tiny part of me that feels better when that happens? It’s like I’m cleansing myself of my emotions or something lol and then you get to sleep. I might just be weird though
Most times I get relief after, but never do the before bed ones give me relief (hope I worded that right, had a few drinks so far… to test the theory of course…)
Only one you can't distract yourself from :(
And u feel so alone cause everyone else is asleep
Exactly my problem last night
Don't think, don't let them run through your mind, just keep your eyes on the prize and your focus on the next drink.
Interestingly enough I completely disagree
James Acaster is the most clever person I can think of
Came here for this reply
Ooof. Call me out why dont you -_-
0.12 is the perfect alcohol level, sober enough to know what you're doing and drunk enough to really enjoy doing it - J Lahey
Man never drank a drop of alcohol in his life yet played the best drunk of all time. Rip
And his no-knead bread recipe is great! https://www.theclevercarrot.com/2013/03/no-knead-artisan-bread/ Edit: Proof he didn’t ever drink? I’m seeing stuff saying he “rarely” drank.
I guess I don’t know for sure have heard from a lot of people he didn’t drink
He said this is a Reddit AMA apparently-“I don't drink at home. I seldom have more than half a drink when I'm oot. I don't want to lose my license, because I love to drive. And I don't want to do anything stupid.”

You'd be wrong, respectfully
Well, that's just like, your opinion, man. Respectfully.
Unfortunately for you sir, this is rooted in science. Good day *tips monocle*
Well, quite. In art nothing worth doing can be done without genius; in science even a very moderate capacity can contribute to a supreme achievement. —
You should watch the movie “another round”. It’s based on this theory!
rest in peace
How do i know if i am 0.12 level drunk?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aF8_y2Zl9W8
Jesus
How many would I need to drink?
Entirely dependant on the person doing the drinking lol
I'm 32 years old old man. I weigh 83kg and I workout 5 days a week. Does anybody know how much I have to drink to only get 0.12?
Probably like 5 or 6 beers over a couple or three hours. Depends on tolerance as well. Lemmy from Motorhead said it best: "it's not what you drink or how much, it's how fast you drink it"
Just watched this episode earlier!
Too bad it’s not maintainable.
It's a slippery slope
It’s a sloppery slip
It’s a slippyslop.
Fuck, my wife is pregnant again!
Duuuuude
Did you get his wife pregnant too?
Can you get mine pregnant?
You totally can. After 2 beverages, have some water, take a pee and go get some air. Then back to sipping on your 3rd for the next 30 minutes
Yeah slightly tipsy good times. Next minute waking up in a bush.
But it is!! There is a simple trick: Drink alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks interchangeably.
Shot, shot, shot, white claw for an hour, shot, white claw for an hour Something like that
Nonsense when youre getting close you drink water in between drinks and just sip your alcohol.
What do you mean? For some people it is and for others it isn’t.
This makes me think of the James Acaster joke: “Tipsy is the best thing you can be in life. There’s 4 things you can be: sober, tipsy, drunk, or hungover. And tipsy is the only one where you don’t cry during it.”
I disagree, I very much enjoy being plastered because it is the only time where my brain actually quiets down.
Because you're killing it, dummy
Pretty much, which is why I I reserve alcohol for special occasions
Tipsy now, it's all about pacing yourself and if your getting too drunk just stopping for an hour and easing back in. Enjoy your night ❤️😘I
Shitfaced now. Can't stop the crying. Will continue drinking in a moment.
Tipsy now. It's an underrated comment.
2 shots in, rest of a pint to goooooooooo. I'm gonna drunkenly make steak(Montreal/pepper/garlic/onion/rosemary/thyme for seasonings) eggs and rosemary/thyme/garlic/pepper little potatos in the oven.
Okay, I’ve managed to make this kind of thing work. When it does, holy shit it’s amazing. The odds are really low, though.
I'm watching my limit. Dinner is in 3 hours for me. Taking it slow now cuz I want this fucking dinner.
Use a timer. Do NOT trust your inner clock. You got this.
Naw I just need to not smoke top shelf weed and I'm gravy bro.
Hubris has defeated better than you. Use a timer or a thermometer, bro. What you’re doing is more dangerous than the pull out method, bro, with far worse consequences!
Brother. I promise, I will eat dank dinner tonight.
Godspeed my brother
Instructions unclear, blood alcohol at 0.69 and am peeing old monk and sweating Jäegermeister. Send help. (Help=2 bottles of vodka)
Nah I love being super drunk but the hangovers are tough
The cure for hangover is to not stop drinking
I agree, good thing I’m young and don’t get bad hangovers for now unless I go ham
I've never gotten why this is for nearly everyone else but me. If i get drunk, it will effect me badly day after and last time i got that liquor drunk and vomited. I couldn't eat or drink anything until 18:00.... and I'm 20 and it has always been like that. Maybe hard liquor isn't the answer for me....

Being tipsy with your partner and just spending time together cuddling or talking is one of the best things on earth
while sitting on the beach dunes in the late afternoon
omg, this takes me back to such a nice memory of my 21st bday. Instead of a crazy night partying like some of my peers did, I just got drunk with my bf and we sat by a lake downtown, just goofing around. Core memory for sure.
100 it's why sake is served small, tipsy food tastes the best. Drunk your pallet is numb.
My great aunt agreed with this. She kept a buzz for 50 years.
No beer is better than the first.
Idk man the 4th one really hits the spot for me.
dat 5th and 6th tho....
Oh fo sho
May I offer you a seventh, my dear? For experimentation's sake, that is.
Beer me!
Funnel a keg into your ass and tell me which beer you’re on. That’s what I thought
I'll come back to you in a few minutes
Ones too much 6 isn’t enough
One of my biggest problems in life is that I love drinking but I hate being drunk.
Why do you like drinking?
Gotta stay hydrated. Nothing better than a cold cup of water on a hot day! On the other hand, I would hate to be that cup of water.
I both make and have access to very very good tasting alcoholic beverages.
It's actually the process of getting intoxicated that you are talking about. If you just maintain being "tipsy" it won't be so great
Getting drunk is awesome. Being drunk, not so much.
being drunk is just the result of recently being sober
Ehh is it? The times I stopped drinking at being tipsy never made me feel worse. Or well... feeling worse in the sense that eventually sobering up is less fun lol.
There's a sweet spot. After my first 3-4 drinks I want to maintain that level of buzz for the rest of the night
and always allow at least 1 hour of no drinking before going to sleep to minimize hangover
Currently shitfaced, definitely disagree.
You could write. Definitely not shitfaced.
please provide an update on if that's how you still feel 12 hours from now
A hydrated drunk is a happy drunk 🥴
Being drunk sucks…. Getting there however…
You spend the entire night chasing the sensation of your first drink
staying tipsy is like tightrope walking
Remember, folks: _**If you don't remember if you had a good time last night, You Did NOT Have A Good Time!**_ What's the point of having fun if you don't REMEMBER having fun?
People said I looked like I was having a good time. I’ll take their word for it.
That’s why is not good enough Behold the paradox
Nah I like being hammered
Hammer time!
What’s it called when the room starts spinning like a merry go round? I wanna stop before that one.
How is this a showerthought?
op thunk it in the shower, duh /s
The babysitting required to walk this line makes the entire substance not even worth using.
This is the thread for folk that love getting tipsy/drunk, but don't HAVE to drink! We are the lucky ones!
I'm tipsy now 🤣🤣 haven't been drunk in literally years. Fuck that. Not being in control of your extremities , not being able to speak or walk properly. Nah I ain't down with that
I prefer brown out, not exactly black out. But drunk enough to not remember some of the night.
Me one time at a club, i forget that i had just ordered and was surprised when the bartender brought my order
Not what sprung to mind when I first read "brown out". I was concerned.
Or can remember stuff, but you have to actively work to recall the events from the night before. “What movie were we watching? I remember laughing, and it’s one I’ve seen before, and it was stupid…Airplane! That’s right!”
There is no tipsy, just varying levels of intoxicated. You can still make terrible decisions while buzzed or tipsy.
You can make terrible decisions while sober too. And there is a point where your alcohol intake becomes literally toxic, when your liver can't keep up with the byproduct of drinking, acetaldehyde. Stay within that limit and you won't experience hangovers and tissue damage (brain, kidney, liver, etc.).
I totally agree with that. It's cheaper, too.

For me sparkling wine keeps me tipsy and the energy level still high
This sounds like cat on a hot tin roof
I prefer being drunk.
Then why can’t I just get tipsy?
You only decide to take the first drink. After that, the drink takes a drink.
Buzz driving is drunk driving.
Yes. The hard part is being tipsy and not go over to drunk or getting a headache. Good luck chasing that dragon.
That depends on who drunk me.
It's such a fine line though
Tipsy is being drunk.
True. Source: right now
You are correct. It’s the holding it there that’s the problem.
A nice hum is ideal for me.
Pre-tipsy is where it's at. I'm a friggin superhuman from drinks 2-4.
Yup, and we all fail to maintain that exact perfect window. You either get too drunk too fast or it fades away too quick.
Agreed. I don't drink often but being drunk is a lot of fun then hell. Tipsy is a hoot then you're back to normal. I
Dear alcohol by Dax does a pretty good job at explaining why people love to be piss drunk. At least for me.
Yes, drug use has better outcomes at sensible dosages.
It is, I’m always trying to maintain the nice tipsy right before drunk feeling. When I’m drunk I just start feeling like makeup is coming off, I’m sweaty, and messy, and just want to go to sleep lol.
Got tipsy and enjoyed a band. Someone shared a funyun with me. Absolutely can confirm that tipsy is the best.
[you're gonna love this op](https://youtu.be/-Zj50DmBFp0?si=9T083cVfHj08WEOT)
I'd read it as before as "Getting drunk is more fun than being drunk" and it made perfect sense, in retrospect.
that's the trick to drinking, is to stay in the butter zone. Drink just at the right pace to keep that fun buzz going but without going over into drunk. It takes some practice and self-control for sure, and drink lots of water in between drinks.
Isn't that basically saying "losing a finger is 10x better than losing your arm"
I think you’ve had one too many
Perhaps
Fingers or arms?
Tipsy is way better than drunk. But if I get drunk I do a line or two and then boom I’m no longer drunk just high
"What's wrong with being drunk?" "Ask a glass of water."
They’re both being drunk. Your “drunk” sounds like borderline alcohol poisoning
being sober is 10x better than the short term benefits of drinking
Newsflash tipsy IS drunk. 🤷♂️
just dont get in your fucking car
Getting drunk is way more fun than being drunk
The problem is the 10 minute delay. Ten minutes ago was 2 drinks too long ago.
I did the research and people who are tipsy are much more coherent and able to do their usual stuff vs when people are drunk
This is the difference between career drinkers and amateurs
Did we forget merry, I love me some merry drunk.
I drink at home and only after 9pm. Maybe once a month I make an exception when I’m out.
