Tips for drinking?

[chaj3_11]

I know this may sound a bit odd, but lately everytime i go out i am spending a fortune drinking and getting far too drunk. Im not sure if its a confidence thing or the start of something serious.

I am pulling girls still n it loosens me up well but im going too far. Poor self control i suppose? I dont want to stop going out i get bored very easily but my bank cant keep this up.

For example quite a fit girl is asking me to go out n meet her saturday in a bar n i obviously want too but at this rate thats another £120 gone..

Anyone got any tips for scaling back a bit but still being able to go out to bars etc? Pre drinking doesnt work i just end up drinking more ha

Water on the rocks.

Healthier, cheaper, and you can get rid of any possibility of using alcohol as a crutch.

Bars are expensive man, unless you find a cheap one. You gotta shift your venue elsewhere. Let's say there are two dudes and you guys hanging out, nothing provents you buying a bottle for $20 and going some place. Same with women, tell her after you got sick that one time at a bar, you're not drinking any bar liquer again, convince her, tell her you covered with red spots, first starting your arms and neck, and then your entire body, then your blood pressure took a dive down and they had to call ambulance. After it you couldn't drink any alcohol for a month, you'd get this alergic reaction again. This is due to bad alcohol served at bars. Then pop a bottle and you two can enjoy drinking it at a movie, a mall, at the beach, in the park.

Limit your drinks let those around you consume more. If you want the alcohol to hit you hard drink it fast or don't eat that much on that day.

Keep your drinks between 2 and 4, let those around you drink more. Maintain your awareness, but get the little bit that helps with social lubrication, no more...

Most people as they drink more and more will act stupider, you don't want to be one of them.

Tall singles work for me, I do vodka and water with a lime. Then after a few you can alternate just water every other drink. But it takes some self discipline.

Also, pay in cash and only take as much as you want to spend. And get the b!tch to buy some rounds!!

Last night I ordered a beer for a friend and my usual drink vodka, soda with lime (and bitters if they have them). It's the healthiest ****tail. Vodka is the purest alcohol, soda water has no sugar, and lime and bitters help the liver detoxify. However this cost $15.00 with tip. GD $9.25 for the ****tail at some hole in the wall bar. I almost guarantee that a beer costs the bar more than a shot of vodka from a large bottle. Why should one drink cost THREE TIMES more?? Watch out for places that scam you like that. Even strip clubs only charge $8.00 for one. (On that note, if you're going to order a stripper a drink, something that is only ok because she is working and it saves you table dance money, ask what she wants and ask how much it costs first. They have tricks where it will cost you $22 because they get a Red Bull with it. Dump her).

The solution is to drink more slowly. Then, as the ice melts you can extend the drink. Get it with a water and lemon on the side. Then, be doing something. I play pool or darts and usually forget to even take a sip.

Also, never buy girls drinks unless they are on a date with you or working (it's ok to buy a bartender a shot - if she says she wants one - and this is often your way in with her).

If you want to drink throughout a date without getting too drunk, or spending a ton of money, go with beer. It's usually the cheapest drink on the menu, and the average glass has the same alcohol percentage as one shot of hard alcohol so you can drink a lot without getting drunk.
The typical mixed drink has about three shots of hard alcohol.

Vodka lemon and lime is also too expensive where i live. About £12 a double or £8 a single. I think i am just going to have too slow down because i am a very fast drinker. Im talking 3 or 4 pints an hour and im out untill 6am sometimes so you can imagine how much im getting through..

Alcohol is good for like 2-3 drinks, then just downhill from there.

One of the worst and most toxic drugs overall (and this is speaking from extensive experience), yet also the most widely accepted. Very strange..
