"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Okay guys; what do you drink and how much? Miller Lite is my choice (one of the few beers that doesn't give me a headache). Dabbled a little bit in the craft scene, there's some very good beers out there. A little expensive, and quite filling.

I used to be on Vodka, but then the buzz starting wearing off. Went to Rum and starting getting some pretty bad hangovers. I usually stick to beer now.

I'm just curious if I'm a lightweight or not. I'm 5'7" 150 lbs and I usually drink a 12 pack (maybe slightly under). I'm not gonna lie though and say I can drink a 24 pack, because I can't. Haven't come anywhere close. Liquor I can drink and drink and not feel anything, until I am completely pickled. Ever since I switched to beer I seem to have lost my tolerance to booze.

What's interesting is that I can feel a buzz off a couple of beers, but liquor just seems to get me sick these days.

Favorite: Beer, Rum
Least Favorite: Brandy, Whiskey, Rumple Minze
Most times puked: Probably 5 or 6
How many days a week you imbibe: 3 or 4.
Most drinks on beer: 12 pack.
Most drinks on booze: 20 vodka tonics. I was so drunk I couldn't see anything. I recognized people's voices, but couldn't make out their faces. Passed out and maybe 2 a.m. Woke up at about 7 a.m. Still drunk... hangover didn't set in till about 4 p.m. Oddly enough, it wasn't that bad. Didn't throw up or anything.

Well I am currently on a sober year. No I'm not a recovering alco just with my training and all that no booze at all. but when I do drink it is neat on the rocks. mainly a good rum like Appletons estate 12 year old. or Chivas Regal 18year old (best dessert pour Chivas Regal over a proper vanilla ice cream you will not be disappointed). I don't drink often but when I do I make it worth it instead of being like every other 20 something year old and going into the night clubs and spending well over $100 on cheap nasty beer or RTD's and getting absolutely hammered. I would much rather spend money on a decent bottle and relax with a good drink with some good company. As for how much can I drink? well how long is a piece of string? I have been known to down a bottle to myself in a night and be fine and dandy and on other occasions I have had a hand full of drinks and felt like throwing my guts up, all depends on the scene and mood I'm in.
