Are There Different Drunks For Different Types Of Alcohol?

[mbewane]

Well here's the thing there's no such thing as a "beer belly". The term is just one of those common colloquialisms that started from who knows where. If I had to guess it would be from the Simpsons (Homer works at a brewery, drinks alot of beer and has a "beer belly"), so once there's that mental association whenever you happen to see an abdominal obese individual drinking or something ppl automatically associate it with them drinking beer. Abdominal obesity is not correlated with drinking beer tho (certain diseases cause it like diabetes as well as genetics and just bad eating habits, lack of exercise, etc).


As far as drinking more beers than hard liquor, you say you drink 7-8 beers at a party thats equivalent to about 10.5-12 shots of 80 proof liquor. I think that is a reasonable amount of liquor for a man to ingest in a full nights outing (obviously it depends on how fast you drink it...but for reference Ive thrown back 4 shots in a row and only been slightly tipsy so if you do that twice in a hour and a half window thats 8 shots and you've almost drank just as many calories in an hour and a half in hard liquor than you did the entire night with just beers.

For me I just do a balance of both. Start off early with the beers. After about the 4th or fifth beer take a couple shots. Gage myself then either more beers or shots depending on how I wanna act that night.

Nah it must come from somewhere else because there's the equivalent of the "beer belly" colloquialism wherever there is beer...maybe some people just have a predisposition to gain more than others, tbh in Belgium I know people who down beers by the gallon (or the liter ) and don't ever put on weight

And actually I hardly ever do shots, I like my alcohol mixed, AND I'm a slow drinker anyway but I did stop beer (in Belgium of all places) because it did make me feel heavy

1. Yes, different kinds of alcohol give you different kinds of buzzes/drunks. It's all due to the alcohol content and the way the rest of the drink is made. Beer makes some people sociable because it has just the right amount of alcohol in it to make them loosen up. Of course some people will get more aggressive after drinking 4lokos because of the combination of alcohol, sugar and stimulants.

And it's like that with every alcoholic drink you can think of. Gatorade mixed with alcohol, for instance. Feels like nothing else because the electrolytes in the gatorade pushes the alcohol into your bloodstream faster.

2. Hangovers.... are caused by your body not dealing with the impurities of what you're drinking, the sugar content and the dehydration brought on by the alcohol. Really, the more dehydrated you get from drinking plus the more impurities in the alcohol, the bigger your hangover will be.

Malt liquor will give you a worse hangover than beer NOT because of the higher alcohol content, but because the malt liquor is full of more shyt.

Homie up there said he can kill a fifth of vodka and be barely worse for wear, right. It's because good vodka has nearly no impurities. Nearly. If he chased it with almost equal parts cold water, he wouldn't get a hangover at all... only slightly dehydrated. Even if he almost killed the whole fifth.

I do it without realizing it, if I'm not careful.

I do my best to drink vodka and vodka only. I.... switch to beer when the vodka runs out.

there's between 100-120 calories in a shot of vodka and 17 shots in a fifth.

So much fail in this one sentence

Was just a wild hunch, just threw something out there for the sake of the discussion. This is something Ive been actively debating with one of my ppls with for a while now

Yea some ppl do have a predisposition to gain more weight in their stomach than others, its genetics. But that weight is attributed to bad eating habits, lack of exercise just as much (probably even moreso) than beer (or any alcohol for that matter).

Although you sloe drink I'd still presume over the course of an outing you would still consume the equivalent of 10 shots(just in a slower time duration), which is the same amount of calories as 7-8 beers

 

[TMillzy]

Whats the difference between brandy/whiskey? Gin/rum/tequila/vodka?

I think the term beer belly exists because people in general drink beer far more frequently than they do other forms of alcohol. People don't only drink beer on a night out. They drink it all the time just casually. At a picnic, during a hard days work, watching a football game, with the boys or completely alone, any day of the week. The harder shyt is saved for outings (unless you're an alcoholic).

so nobody drinks Gin as far as clear goes?

2 or 3 Straight up Gin shots of Sapphire and I'm good for the night. Thats usually my go-to. And its the only clear I drink.

Any other drank gotta be dark.

Anyway normally I have a lot of patience but I notice it runs thin very fast when I'm drunk but I never get into fights. I get very confrontational.
I tend to go on random rants according to my friends. Thats how they can tell if I'm feelin it or not. I start to go on and on talking about whatever.

Sapphire has always been my favorite but two or three shots ?

You're a lightweight breh

 

[threattonature]

You aint drinking enough. I used to say the same thing...til I REALLY started drinking

Nah some people just don't get hangovers. Until the last year or so I never got them. I had nights where I've downed around 200 dollars worth of liquor. One of them was at our company Christmas party where I was just grabbing anybody to take shots with. Ended up leading to three guys passed out and getting carried back to their rooms. I woke up the next day still drunk but never actually had a hangover. The lack of hangovers led to me being a huge binge drinker though since there was no consequences.

As far as this thread, there are definitely different kinds of drunks based on liqour you're drinking.

Wine gets me goofy as fukk.
Beer gets me extra friendly and real sociable.
Tequila gets me wild. Like taking off clothes in club wild.
Whiskey just turns me into a mean a$$hole.
Rum used to make me just want to fukk something.

 

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

i personally don't think so

and i'm basically an alcoholic so i'd know


and alcoholics do get hangovers, i got a terrible one as we speak

 

[So UnThotful]

the only time ive blacked out and heard of 3 hours of fukkery of me trying to fight people,asking the chick at taco bell if she thinks a cartel "will drive by this place because its not real mexican food" and having no clue how i got home was off killing an absolute vodka bottle

I had a legendary run in some small town in Louisiana. It involved me winning a chair in a dance contest and apparently talking with everybody in town. The next week and a half that I was there random people would come up to me starting conversation and telling me how crazy that party was and how hilarious I was at it. I also apparently tried to initiate some females into a stripping contest.
