Drinking

You guys have any good tips for drinking for long periods of time?

i tried drinking for 24 hours straight but was only able to get down about 30 beers as time progressed it seemed that i was getting more and more F&#d off of less and less beer.

the day before I had a meal of chicken teryaki for protein and salt, and about 7 horus before I started drinking a huge pasta dinner for that long lasted carb energy kinda thing.

about an hour before I started I ate pizza because it fucking rocks.

Have any of you guys been able to this before? What tips do you give for increasing stamina, endurance, and getting rid of that "poisoned but not drunk" feeling. Meal tips, vitamins, etc...

what do you guys think?

well when i drink for long periods of time, i find it best to have a full meal before, something with carbs etc. then i wait about an hour and start drinking. i always stick to beer, nothing too strong at first (watch the percentage of alcohol content in the beer). stay away from shots. then somewhere along the way, i will eat a lite snack maybe a sandwich. by the end, i will have a buzz but not too drunk.

i assume when you ask for tips on drinking for long periods of time, you dont want to get too fucked up. my secret to this is having something in your stomach and sticking to something lite to drink like beer. this way you have a buzz, but are still able to stay on your feet. also don't smoke pot right away if you do smoke, try to wait until the end of your binge, if you have an inkling as to when it will end.

i drank 1L of vodka (40%) on saturday night, on empty stomach.

now, almost 24 hours later, i've gon through the worst day this year + i sit here without my mobile, as i managed to drop it somewhere

morale: don't drink 1L of vodka!


it sux bigtime not having your mobile, when it's been a part of your pocket for almost three straigt years


omg

i gotta get a new one


Posted by ilovetrance2k3 on Jul-13-2003 22:10:

i dont see the point of excessive drinking, you get really delerious and your vision is all blury, your head is spinning, and wehn this happens to me, i think, damnit, why did i drink so much. same with drugs, i mean its cool to get fucked up, but if you are delerious, then i dont know

I drank 1 liter wodka too this weekend, and I didn't feel a thing the day after. But off course it wasn't 40%

This one time i drank a liter of vodka in one night and when i woke up at 5 o clock in the morning i was sleeping 5 meters from the doors of my house in a pile of snow Then i went up and fell asleepn in the bathtub. Good thing i was home alone. I never drunk on an empty stomach again


Posted by Orbax on Jul-13-2003 22:49:

hehe the goal is too be pleasantly blurry for as long as possible. You know that feeling where you are just plain happy.

I guess i didnt eat enough during the day, i was somehow thinking that was gonna take up beer space lol. I think i got too drunk too fast. Good call on carb foods, oh god, Italian food sounds so good.

1l?! thats it lol?! my most has been 2.5 fifths of Spiced rum. its a 35% instead of the normal 40%% but still is my greatest accomplishment. For you Euros that 1920 mils.

Oh man. Chinese noodles too. Dude you gave me such a good idea. Namely ordering Chinese take out. It may not seem brilliant now, but when everyone is drinkin and my chinese food arrives, Jeeloss will be their names.

PS hangover cure=5 shots of vodka in a V8 vegetable blend with pepper and tobasco sauce.

what kind of shitty wodka do you drink??


Posted by Vivid Boy on Jul-13-2003 23:40:

a good idea for drinking for long periods of time is dont just chill...if ur gonna drink excessive u gotta be doing something because if not ull just pass out....but if ur up and about, shit always seems to happen when ur tanked....


Posted by Domz on Jul-14-2003 00:10:

if you want to last for long, then i suppose you gotta let yourself sober up, so drink at your normal rate. but whne you feel yourself going half your rate.

on the other hand, if you WANT to get fucked, i could tell you some good drinking games


Posted by mikefasssy on Jul-14-2003 00:59:

food matters a bit, but I think the most important factor for better, longer period of drunken revelry is the amount of sleep you have had over the past few days.

If I've been having shitty nites I tend to just have a few and chill, but if I've been sleeping like a god (hehe its summer so I am allowed to!!) then I find its a lot easier to last longer...

my 2 cents

King

get some bis...


Posted by chjo on Jul-14-2003 11:29:

If you drink just right, keep you head spinning but don't over do it you can drink almost as loong as you want.. just eat during the drink-race.
But imo you feel alot better without drinking at all..


Posted by MOSCHINO on Jul-14-2003 18:26:

I drink a little and just for taste. Fuck alcohol! This shit should be illigal, because it's just as harmful as any other drug, if not more. I hate drunk people who fuckin' step on your shoes, not even saying sorry and when they get pulled over and get DUI's, I laugh.


Posted by Orbax on Jul-14-2003 23:49:

Alcohol is fine. I rep 220, curl 45s, run 30 miles a week, and play tennis 3 hours a day. I also rock climb on the weekends my best outdoor being a 5.13a, swim, and bike. Im pretty much the healthiest/most fit person I know, and people always ask what my diet is. Chicken teryaki and beer baby. As long as you work your ass off you can do anything, eat anything. Live life to its fullest


Posted by w00h00 on Jul-14-2003 23:53:

Best thing to do is to take a break and eat something and (here's the important thing) when you do so, drink water.. or maybe gatorade of something that will really replenish you. The biggest problem with drinking for long periods is dehydration, so when you take a break the best thing to do is to really concentrate on refilling your fluids. Just because you piss a lot while drinking doesn't mean you're getting the liquids you need. Not to mention then you'll be fuller and will naturally drink slower when you start back up. Also it's good to get a really good tasting beer that you don't want to finish all at once, so you sip it more instead of gulping down the whole thing in 10 minutes. Drink for flavor, not for fucked-uppedness.

(Too bad I rarely take my own advice.. heh)

I dont drink.

never have.

never will.


Posted by Orbax on Jul-15-2003 14:41:

I used to (before I did it) hate it. Id turn in my brother and sister for it, and i would give people shit about it. I was very hadrcore about the deal. Now its one of the mainstays in my life. Socially, physically, and mentally. Havin some drinks after dinner makes for such a relaxing evening. I can honestly say that drinking is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. I wouldnt discount one of the oldest inventions on earth


Posted by FuZZleWaCK on Jul-15-2003 16:28:

Alcohol. This substance was created before paper and steel. It is one of the earliest known manufactured goods of Man. It's history is interwoven with the world's history. As man has progressed through his life he has taken alcohol with him, and all of the rich traditions surrounding it. Alcohol is easily four thousand years old, with acts of prohibition as early as 2300 B.C. (Swartz, 2001).Its main purpose thoughout the centuries revolved around religous ceremonies. An excellent example are the Bacchus/Dionysus cults of the Greeks and Romans which were characterized by wild, uncontrolled drinking. Eventually it moved away from religious purposes to where it is now today; the "hey its (put an excuse here) lets drink" mentality. As Cultures around the world have progressed they have come to associate good times and more importantly good health (Salud, skoal, a votre sante', prost, l'chayim (Hanson, 1997), with alcohol. The question has become, in these days of the binge drinkers and alcoholics, is alcohol good for you? There is a controversy today going back and forth as to whether or not the nutrients and benefits of alcohol are necessary in the alcoholic form. There have been numerous studies that have gone in depth into this eminently important question and the results have been impressive. Evidence strongly supports that while all of the nutrients and vitamins that are found in alcohol can be taken in by different food and drink, alcohol has unique properties that make it a healthy poison. Alcohol seems to provide benefits to social and physical health when taken in the correct quantities and creating problems in the very same things in the incorrect amounts (too much, and surprisingly, too little).

First, to define what "moderate drinking" is. It has a broad definition of "drinking that does not generally cause problems, either for the drinker or for society" (NIAAA, 1992); yet this is sometimes difficult for individuals who have not tested limits or have high tolerance levels to judge. The more quantitative definition is 1-2 bottles of beer for women per day and 2-4 bottles for men per day with 2-3 days of abstinence in the week somewhere. One thing that should be noted is that a drink is a drink is a drink. What this means is that a beer is the same as a shot of "hard" alcohol is the same as a glass of wine; some people think that by drinking a different liquid the alcohol will affect them less. In Carroll's definition of drunkeness, the blood alcohol content is the only factor in determining whether or not someone is "drunk" (as cited by Hanson, 1997) so the smaller amounts of "hard" alcohol are just as potent as an entire bottle of beer.The problem with defining moderate drinking is because alcohol is a neurochemical, and it reacts differently to the brain and physiology of each person. The number of drinks is stated as a general guideline to healthful drinking, but a doctor should definitely be consulted while testing what an appropriate amount is.

How does alcohol affect the body? First of all, alcohol has been labeled as a sedative-hypnotic, which means that it activates the para sympathetic nervous system and tends to cause sleepiness and listlessness at the heavy intoxication levels. At lower levels of intoxication alcohol is excitatory and has been linked to domestic violence (Decker, 1999). Alcohol tends to "lift the spirits" and, again, because of the fact that it is a neurochemical, alcohol tends to excite those attributes that a person tends towards. For example: A man who is generally happy and rambunctious will become even happier and more rambunctious as he consumes alcohol thus making him even more active than usual. A person who tends towards laziness and indolence will become even more passive with the effects of alcohol. It affects people across all strata of culture, age, and gender differently depending on how that person has wired their brain over the years. For a more technical perspective on what is happening... "A recent theory, supported by several researchers, pins alcohol's effect on voltage ion channels that control neuronal activity. Two distinct ligand-gated channels have been identified, inhibitory ones (GABA receptors and strychnine-sensitive Glycine receptors and excitatory ones (N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and non-NMDA glutamate-activated channels and the 5HT3 subtype of seratonin receptors) The inhibitory aspect occurs due to a hyperpolarization of neurons, secondary to an influx of chloride ions. The neuron becomes less likely to achieve the threshold membrane potential. The excitatory receptor is dependent on the NMDA and non NMDA glutamate receptors that control the influx of sodium and calcium, which bind to endogenous neurotransmitters (glutamate or aspartate) and depolarize the neuronal membrane. The NMDA receptor seems to have a high permiability to calcium, which acts as a catalyst to several intracellular events." (Decker, 1999). So what does it all mean? It means that alcohol raises the bar, so to speak, for cellular firing. Normally a cell sits at around negative 40 milivolts and and it has to reach a more positive number to reach threshold and fire. Alcohol sets the cell, through an imbalance in the sodium and chloride levels intra- and extracellularly, to a much more negative level; thus raising the required level of positve charge for the cell to fire. This is part of the reason why heart rate slows down, breathing slows down, and other vital systems. Alcohol is one of the many drugs that affect the "old brain" that has all vital systems. This is why alcohol poisoning can be deadly because it lowers blood pressure, heart rate, breathing, body temperature, digestive systems, and several other things including destroying your brain cells and liver in a process called cirrohsis. The above mentioned diseases are only caused by excess drinking though. None of these effects are caused moderate drinking. It is a myth that any amount of alcohol dissolves your brain slowly. When low levels of alcohol are present in the body it acts as a vasodilator (it causes blood vessels to relax and widen (Decker, 1999), thus increasing flow of blood to areas such as the brain, thus increasing function.
