[1000mAh]

if your battery-capacity increased.

happy birthday btw

thanks.
And I do think my ''battery capacity'' is still increasing.
----I'm about 2 times bigger than I was 3 years ago, a centimeter or 3 taller and 20kgs heavier. Yeap, I've reached the weight of 90,0kg! (height being 186cm)

[lololitas]

and here I thought/hoped your drinking capacity has increased. I know someone that tests how much he can drink every year and logs his growth that way 

[JoonasTo]

He is not rich enough to increase his drinking capacity by any large margin yet.

I could probably drink them under the table and I barely weigh over 100lbs (45kg). I have a metabolic tolerance and a genetic tolerance. Metabolism like a hummingbird.

Metabolic: A tolerance that results from a more rapid elimination of alcohol from the body. This type of tolerance is due to a specific group of liver enzymes that are activated after prolonged drinking. These enzymes increase the speed at which alcohol is broken down. As a result, this reduces the time during which alcohol is active in the body. Therefore, the time during which alcohol’s intoxicating effects are felt is shortened.

Genetic: Studies have shown that tolerance can be influenced greatly by genetics. Research indicates that individuals who have
alcoholic parents were less impaired by alcohol, as compared with individuals who have nonalcoholic parents. Therefore, tolerance and the predisposition to alcoholism have been shown to be genetically linked.

I've never managed to get drunk. I've only really tried to get completely wasted a ~5 or so times but it's never worked. This was my last try: An entire bottle of crown (~25 shots, but I wasn't using shot glasses I was using real ones), about half a dozen Smirnoffs (cherry, green apple, etc.), a few high alcohol content beers, and even a pretty good amount of tequila. All in under an hour, probably in under half an hour. Result? Not even tipsy. Barely a buzz.

I'm practically immune. It actually kinda sucks. Then again, I guess it's kinda good in other ways. 

[lololitas]

never got drunk either, but that's because I don't like alcohol. The closest I got proabably was when friends where going through a few things to figure out what I like, which ended up being jägermeister due to it tasting of herbs and not alcohol 

I probably drank quite a lot that night but didn't feel any different from usual.

[Tiffanys]

I don't really care for alcohol either. I'll drink a glass of d'Yquem every now and then (few times a year, special occasions) but that's about it.

If I'm at some kind of get together and literally all there is to drink is alcohol then I probably will, but it generally tastes like shit so I can't say I much like it (especially considering it doesn't do fuck all for me).

[lololitas]

I can relate to that. The only other thing i can drink in substantial amounts are a few types of cognac (substantial meaning I can drink a double without having to spit it out^^)

Instead of a cabinet of alcohol I have many types of tea. I'm the number one non-commercial tea customer in the shop I visit 

[Corunes]

I'm not much of an alcohol drinker either (which I guess is kind of funny because I come from a line of alcoholics), but I do enjoy some champagne (call me a pansy, but I enjoy the Prosecco/Perrier Jouet kind of sweet, dry champagnes).

Otherwise, not a fan. No beer or wine for me (unless it's for cooking!). On Jewish holidays, I'd rather drink grape juice than wine when necessary (e.g. passover where you have to knock back 4 cups of wine, 2 of which on a near-empty stomach).

Btw happy birthday, 1000mAh! I will eat a cupcake today in your honor.

[1000mAh]

Thanks.

I would hate to be immune for alcohol :/
I've gotten like wasted only 3 times in my life...
(THO, I'm only 19 xD, qst time I got drunk was when I was 14)
#1 the time when Duki warned me about drinking as he had to Remove a bunch of my posts, 3/4 of SalmiakVodka bottle in 30mins 0,5l
#2 my 18th birthday. I think... 20 4,5% beers, 14 ~5% ciders, 3 shots of various strong alcohol
#3 Friday, a bottle of sake 14,5% 0,72l bottle, 1/3 of a 40% Vodka bottle and 5 beers.

So, at least I'm not eve close to immune but a night in a bar does get expensive.

[harpy]

I do not handle booze any longer. I used to be able to drink loads, now I can not even drink a cocktail...now thats a lie, I still can handle up to 3 cocktails, but it's not like I am happy about it as I do get either really angru or I just love everyone It's what you get for taking a year long break from drinking

Ha! Won't believe it until I see it. Last chick to make such a bold claim ended up puking (very evenly too as it went down in a fine stream only to distribute itself over both legs) in my friend's bathroom. Guess who wasn't invited to his parties any more.

Yeah... that sounds like bullshit.

Just because you didn't get tipsy from taking a shot or two that one time after you just ate doesn't mean jack shit.

Pound a few shots back to back on an empty stomach and we'll see how immune you really are.

[Bob2004]

You guys are making me feel like an alcoholic.

I drink quite a lot. There's nothing I enjoy more than a good beer (emphasis on good), and I drink pretty regularly, but it's rare for me to drink more than 3 or 4 pints tops on a night out. Then again, I probably tend towards being a bit of a lightweight, so that does usually get me fairly merry. I like my alcohol, so I usually drink because I like the taste, and because I like trying loads of different drinks, rather than to get drunk. But it is a very pleasant side effect - being immune would be horrible. But, yeah, I call bullshit on that "unable to get drunk" claim. I don't think it's possible to be totally immune to the effects of alcohol like that - I've certainly never heard of it.

[Tatsujin]

Listening to some Sankarea music while working. Mm, mmm, mmmmmmm.

I'm immune because I throw up before the alcohol makes it to my blood stream due to the horible taste 

Anyway, an alcoholic is anyone who drinks alcohol regularily, so even one beer a week would be counted alcoholic. In the same train of thought it's interesting how people see a person as a smoker, even if he only smokes one cigarette every now and then (usually months apart between the occasions) however if someone drinks beer daily he isn't an alcoholic.

[Goldfrapp]

I'm like Bob, I can drink just because it taste good, nothing beats a glass of ice cold beer/white wine on a hot summer day, or a glass of red wine while eating good food. But I can also drink to get drunk, but then again I do not drink stuff I don't like the taste of.
And I usually drink to get tipsy when I'm in good company and never alone.

It's all about balancing it, too much of anything isn't good for anyone.
If you can't go a day w/o alcohol, you are an alcoholic. This goes for anything: addiction is not good or healthy.

[metro.]

Well then I should start attending AA meetings if one drink a week is alcoholic, I'm life ruining levels.

One beer a week = alcoholic? um nah.

An alcoholic is someone who's addicted to it and experiences withdrawal symptoms when they stop consuming it.

As for alcohol tasting bad... you know you can mix non alcoholic beverages with alcohol in order to make it taste better right?

Some mixed drinks you can't even detect the alcohol even though there's a high content.
