Re: Drinking advice
(Anonymous) 2020-05-31 04:02 am (UTC)(link)the feeling you're chasing is a sense of relaxation, freedom, and a conscious lowering of inhibitions. some people can achieve it at a lightly tipsy level, others need a bit more, and it can change depending on your tolerance and experience. but generally, it's not being incapacitated, it's being a little wobbly but otherwise generally more genial, relaxed, open, and a little tingly, funny, off the wall. if you're a talkative drunk, it means sharing things without the desperate need to censor yourself. if you're an emotional drunk, it means expressing laughter and tears without being self-conscious about doing so. heaven help you if you're a mean drunk, though.
some drinks, if mixed too strong or with poor quality alcohol, taste terrible and there is no need to "get used to it." Either mix better, use better ingredients, or don't bother. I have German genes and a high tolerance so I usually drink my liquor neat, but my roommate is a lightweight so she needs good quality cocktails, mixed well, so she can't taste the booze. it's definitely possible. more than possible, I've had excellently mixed cocktails where I would swear there's no booze in them and yet half an hour later I'm pleasantly wobbly. it sucks that you do have to try so hard to find the perfect mixed drink but you kinda do.
me, I've just been drinking rum neat because there's riots downtown from me and I don't want to deal with it. I'm drunk enough to type without needing spellcheck but not so much that I'll be hung over.
Re: Drinking advice
(Anonymous) 2020-05-31 05:53 am (UTC)(link)I mean, yeah. Unfortunately, the amount I need to drink to have that effect is substantial. It's not something I can do in a remotely healthy way. Then again, I don't really think one can chronically medicate with alcohol in a healthy way, even if they are a lightweight.
but my roommate is a lightweight so she needs good quality cocktails, mixed well, so she can't taste the booze. it's definitely possible.
I'm not a lightweight. I can keep up with guys who have fifty pounds on me. However, I am deeply skeptical that you could mix a booze drink that wouldn't taste like ass to me. I've had bartenders and experienced drinkers alike try and fail. *shrugs*
