THE ADMIN TEAM HAS HAD A SECRET MEETING AND COME TO AN IMPORTANT CONCLUSION:

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Strong rum? Like 100 proof? 12 ounces of that would almost certainly kill me.

Yeah, I referred to that as strong.  I was a fan of 151 when I was younger and dumber, and the effects of a 5th on one person would likely be fatal.  Everclear is even worse.

I don't touch anything stronger than 80 proof except for cooking because I'm not experienced with it and have no way to gauge how fucked up I'll get.

80 proof is good enough.  100 proof is just silly...I only like it for the "mouthfull of burning fishhooks" effect.

Ouch! Not my favorite sensation, I confess.

Another reason I avoid it is my heart already pulls shenanigans... I don't think "abruptly being catastrophically drunk" is a good move to pull. I had some accidental experiences with that a couple years ago when I was temporarily on OCD meds, and nobody told me about the "delay & dump" effect they can have on your body's alcohol processing. It wasn't in the warning sheet AT ALL. So I was three drinks into my evening, not feeling even the slightest buzz, and suddenly all three drinks hit me at once. I couldn't stand up and my heart was all kinds of stop & go; I had to go lie down until someone could take me home.

151 is ass.  I tried forever to mask the taste of it in jungle juice one year and that's how I ended up pregnant the second time and my brother's wife got twins out of it.

...another New Year's but this one was way better...

I really, thoroughly hate 151. Even in mixed drinks.

Why would you mask the taste?

TGRR,
Drinks his booze straight.

TWAS ASS.

IS HOLY™.

I hear on good authority most ass is holy...

Ahhhhh MONKEYS

(just FYI, the student club I was a member of wasn't ANYTHING like this)

*well, the cheap stuff is.

Yeah, the college I went to had problems, I mean SEVERE problems, with hazing and alcohol.  It's why a lot of campuses went dry.

UofA went so dry, if anyone is caught drinking during rush week, they are barred from joining a fraternity for a year, regardless of age or circumstances.

I gather there were some unpleasant occurances.

We were soooo drunk while MAKING the damned punch we forgot the only rum we HAD was 151...it started out as a nice, tame, CHAMPAGNE punch...devolved into jungle hooch within 2 hours and damn that shit was nasty.  But it ended up being drunk...

[Jenne]

I have to say, the only thing that gets me "dangerously" drunk anymore is tequila.  I hit that shit and am unaware of its effects until 2 hours later, when I'm still drunk as hell and can't feel my extremities.

I leave that shit alone.

TGRR,
Enjoyed the hospitality of Bell County, TX because of that shit.

I like the idea of making people temporary mods for like 15 minutes after they drank an entire 5th of bourbon.

Is a 5th enough to make their mouse and typing skills worse enough they can't do any damage?

(no idea what a 5th is)

It's roughly enough to kill a person my size. Literally.

However, someone the size of ECH would probably barely feel it.

A 5th is a dangerous amount of alcohol for anyone to drink.  

says you.

Math is math, chemistry is chemistry.

You'll feel it when you're older.  I know I do.

When I was twenty, I spent much of college drinking a cheap bottle of bourbon ($10 for a fifth) every other night. Suffice to say, I can't recall much of my twentieth to twenty-fourth year.

In retrospect, I regret that. I'd prefer to both remember what I did, and from what I do remember, I coul have actually had more fun if I was more sober.

Today, if I drink more than six ounces of whiskey in a sitting, there's a 72% chance no one will have any fun if they are around me, and I will feel lime shit for two days afterward.

-Had four ounces in a killer Manhatten tonight.

Whiskey makes things quiet for me.
