Can’t Stop Drinking Until SWIM Passes Out: Why?

[Chaote]

I always find when drinking that if I have 1 drink i gotta have 5 or more i just dont see the point to drinking not to get drunk, i know some of you will say taste, but I just find I cant stop till i pass out.
ths often happens with mushrooms but never weed im often like well im stoned time to stop. I often smoke alone opposed to mush and alch which im with people,
Could it be i dont want the night ot end or is it the begginings of an addiction?

It's a good question. It's the type of question that you yourself could answer best. If you never drink alone that is one point in the "not wanting night to end" section. Normally people tend to acclimatize themselves to a level of drunkenness that they want toget to as an optimal level. You could get used to a lower level of drunkenness. If the booze is always making you be that guy who has his pants down in from of a highway overpass singing "the old grey mare", then it's time to slow down a bit. Hit the bong sooner. If it's all just young fun that you will grow out of, and you don't feel it's affecting your life or self worth or relationships, then just enjoy, but be conscious of the line. Know what I mean?

Drink s-l-o-w-l-y... like one shot every 15 minutes so the alcohol has
time to kick in, and i'd say once you can't walk right to the bottle
anymore to just stop, and enjoy the feeling...

I used to be in the same boat.

Try drinking two beers, first, and just sit back and let
the buzz kick in.

Wait for a while (until you have to piss) then after you
piss go have yourself two more.

Do NOT drink or eat anything during this time (except
more beer, of course) to keep the buzz sharp.

I actually enjoy this more than guzzling a six in one
sitting because it extends the time that I can FEEL
the buzz, but you must have at least one day of rest
without drinking (two would be better) inbetween.
Also, wait until you're good and hungry before you
start drinking.

You try this and soon you'll find that you can enjoy
four beers where you used to require six.

Woodman I get were your coming from but its like I just want a bigger buzz, like I feel that I need more, someone whos ame eludes me has the signature "Go all out or dont go out at all" and thats how I feel

[Loser]

Just do it.

















wait should i really suggest that?

[MrJim]

The go all out thing can be fun... but there isn't as much long term enjoyment to it. Going all out can actually stop you from having the best time alot of the time because you end up isolated in a fuzzy world where everyone around you may be cruising on a mellower and controllably pleasant buzz.
