This is for anyone who drinks like a pansy and wonders why he passed out in his friends car the next morning. Here are a few tips to get to drinking like you were in college again.
If you have a hard time keeping up with the drinking that your buddies do, this is the article for you. We all know that drinking is a big part of being able to have a social life. American culture's social circles are built around bars, clubs and taverns.
Eat a healthy meal
Make sure you consume a healthy sized portion atleast half hour before you start to drink. This does not mean have six sushi California Rolls. I am talking about real meals that men eat, like steak. Try to stay away from any kind of poultry, like chicken and turkey, as they contain tryptaphan and tend to cause you to feel drowsy
Drink Lots of Fluids
Drinking lots of fluids not only helps you lessen the effects of a hangover the night after, but also dilutes the alcohol thats already in your stomach. An average liver can clean your blood of about 2 drinks od alcohol, so pace yourself and drink fluids in between to keep your self from puking or passing out.
Watch The Clock
Set some boundries about the time you start your first drink. If you start drinking at 6 PM, you are going to drinking for the next 8 hours till the bars close around 2. This is not good for your liver and defintely terrible for your reputation amongst your friends. The later you drink, the better you are off. I usually wait till atleast sunset before my first drink is consumed, but there are exceptions in places like Cancun, where the sun doesnt set till at least 9 PM.
Improve The Environment
If you are sitting around at your place playing video games and drinking, this will not only create a terrible experience, but also make you feel depressed and relaxed. Try to hang around people that have a great mood and areas where the music is pumping. Clubs purposely create this type of environment to promote drinking and help you consume more liquer. Use this to your advantage and choose who you do your drinking with. The last thing you want is a friend who is confessing his depression to you when you are hammered beyond belief.
Dont Mix Liquers
Find the liquer that your liver likes, and stick with it. This doesnt mean take 30 shots of Southern Comfort and kill yourself because thats what gets your drunk. I mean find mixed drinks that you can make with this liquer that you like and stick to that. Definitely do not mix liquer and beer in the same sitting unless you are really well experienced in the art of drinking and know what your are getting yourself into.
Erwin Washington - Mr. Washington showed up drunk three times over the legal limit, not to drive a car, but pilot a flight headed to Chicago with 150 people strapped inside. We here at MensTruth understand that it must be stressful with terrorists strapping bombs to their private areas and you being forced to watch Sandra Bullock's horrible acting in the Proposal, but this is not a reason to put 150 peoples lives at risk so that you don't have to remember the flight.
