Here's me, a guy that rarely drinks, and when I do drink I don't drink that much. Haven't been drunk in decades.
Took my singer and drummer camping this weekend. We hopped lakes on Saturday, and on the way back to the main lake, in the hot and sunny afternoon (probably around 3pm), we stopped at the bar next to the RV camp.
They bought me a white russian, a tasty little drink that I enjoy. Then a second one. Then the cute bartender said she was working on an expiremental drink, would I try it free of charge? Yes. It was meh, but I drank it and ordered a pizza. Ate the pizza, starting to really feel tipsy. Think we're leaving...we're not. They ordered another round of drinks. I finish that one and I realize...I'm drunk. Way drunk.
I go to the bathroom and start puking. I give the keys to the drummer, and we head to the parking lot, where I continue to puke. We get to camp, and I just lay down in the tent. I got up around 10 pm, went and took a shower, then went back to bed. Woke up Sunday morning feeling fine. A great reminder to myself on why I hate to be drunk.
I love having a few drinks- maybe 3 or 4, but anytime I go beyond that, well, I regret it.
Bought yet another brick of WW80 because it was only $85 with S/H included, and I figured with 3 SR, a prime, and a Chase, the odds were decent that I'd get something that would equal that price by itself, or one of the chases and SRs that I still need.
I opened the 2nd booster of the brick Saturday night, and ta-da, it is my FOURTH!! Sky Tyrant. And all the SRs were ones I already had also. Just once I wanted to open the Flash SR or one of the 5 chases I don't have, but noooo, all duplicates.
I have managed to trade all 3 of the Sky Tyrants quickly, and got a couple of the chases I wanted from the set, but still...
That Wonder Woman SR and her sword, plus the Prime version of her, are ridiculously rare! When I open a 3rd or 4th duplicate SR or chase, it's crazy that no one around here has opened up the other, more sought after ones. Grrr.
Yeah wintremute, that sudden realization is exactly why I generally avoid it myself. I can't stand the taste, so I just chug those things over and over until I look and realize I've gone through most of a case and I'm having trouble standing properly. And frustratingly, my video game prowess does not improve under the influence.
Sorry to hear Hoff, it sucks when the figs you want and need seemingly can't be found in any booster, but ones you already have just pile up.
The closest I've ever come to drinking alcohol and wanting to continue is an Irish Cream milkshake that's like 90% ice cream. Alcohol is freaking gross.

Seems like every other camping trip you get sick. Hope future ones are better.

Drinking on its own is gross. In time you will discover how tasty pairing food and drink together can be.
I think the best pairings are Sake with sushi, and SeJu with Korean BBQ. To continue with this trend the wife and I discovered that at our local Korean grocery store they have a rack of traditional drinks like mentioned above but also apple and berry wines/rice wines. Very tasty.

It doesn't help that I probably have the most sensitive palette you'll find. Also I'm very big and tall, so the amount of alcohol it would take to even get me tipsy is probably pretty high.
I like alcohol, most forms. I dont get hung over and can drink a prodigious amount of it and remain vertical. I tend to metabolize alcohol and drugs faster than normal so to remain inebriated I have to continuously drink so it is not something I do very often.
The down side to this is trips to the dentist or such suck as the pain meds wear off way to fast, like in the middle of a root canal level of suck.

I always imagined you as small and skinny. Way to ruin my image of you!
