Let's talk about Alcohol...

[cameron123240]

so, ive been doing some research as to how alcohol really effects the human body. what ive found is that, people get sick becuase their esophagus (sp?) get irritated, and is the body's way of ridding toxins which are in the stomach and are soon to be digested and then increase your bac even more. Now, if that info about the irritation to the esophaugs is correct, then is there a way to stop irritation so you do not get sick?

what about drinking some sort of pepto-like product? or mixing your alcohol with water? i read that somewhere, probbly tastes awful though.:confused:

[slipknotpsycho]

how about drinking a small ammount of 50/50 liquid oragel/anbesol and water?

[cameron123240]

isn't that numbing stuff? hahahahhahha would that really work?

[slipknotpsycho]

no clue.. only way to find out would be to try it lol. and yes it's 20% benzocaine, same shit the dentist uses to number your gums before he sticks you with the needle of novacaine

[cameron123240]

:D

my mouth would be numb that i probably couldn't even ask them to pass me my drink.

i don't know why i get so sick when i drink, nobody else gets sick just me. It's really crappy. i get like 7-8 shots down, then i just lose my cool and am hanging out the window until i go to bed.:(


if i drink water along with my alcohol, then i notice a definite change of not getting as drunk as usual. and THEN if i drink a bunch of water itll just come back up. :mad:

lol o well.
damn.

[slipknotpsycho]

7-8 shots is a very moderate-high ammount to be drinking if you have problems in the first place... don't judge how much to drink by anyone else cuz everyone is diffrent... try getting like 4, and then give it an hour... if you aren't at a good level (don't push it... atleast til you have more experience with it and your mind gets used to it) then take a couple more....

i used to have the same problem with drinking... then i discovered one day (when id din't have quite as much as i usuallyw ould drink) i was always over doing it... btw, you dont' have to worry about having to like start all over if youw ait an hour after 4 shots... it takes the body an hour to process and rid 1 shot worth of straight alcohol... so in that hour, you've only lost one of the shots.. the other three are still in your system.. the reason i say take 2 more is one to replace the one your body processed already, and another one to kick it up another notch...

[cameron123240]

lol i see,

perhaps the fact that i was born in 1991 has something to do with it...hehehe:p

but ya, i see your point, besides thats alot easier than trying to slam 8 shots down in an hour like we usually do. maybe i am going a bit too fast.

[birdgirl73]

What about just not drinking to the point that you're apt to get sick? Just a thought . . . .

[cameron123240]

i've also tried eating before i drank, and well...that did not turn out good at all. hahahha

[cameron123240]

yes, we were discussing that. i should probably not try to do what everyone else is doing and match their drinks, but should find my own, where im comfortable with it.


and birdgirl is a mod now? very cool:)

[conch420]

try injecting alcohol its awesome

[conch420]

hahaha no seriouse do not ever to that.. it cannot be good for you

[cameron123240]

lol i've heard about that;must be a....umm...unique, experience.:)

[conch420]

no tahts got to be the stupidest thing ive ever heard/said.. it cannot possibly in any way compare to pot.

[cameron123240]

lol i was kidding.:D

[AlwaysBlazed]

I like to drink in moderation, 1 or 2 shots every 30 min or so does the trick... but I max out at like 6 shots, im a lightweight I prefer ganja but I love drinking.

[conch420]

lol man i was talking about what i said.. i know theres like ppl that will prooly try to do that now..dont it will probly kill you

The Home Office Police Research Group has revealed a disturbing practice growing in rural communities, of young people injecting alcohol as a means of achieving a quick high. They are exploiting the ready availability of alcohol as opposed to illegal drugs. There is evidence of children as young as 14 injecting spirits, or even cider and beer, intravenously. The result is instant drunkenness since this method makes alcohol seven times more powerful than when taken as a drink. Around 10ml of whisky, less than half a measure, is sufficient to put someone over the drink-drive limit if injected.

Injecting alcohol can introduce bubbles into the blood stream, blocking the flow to the brain and inducing a stroke. It is also very easy to inject a lethal dose, especially as control of quantity is unlikely to be a priority with users of the technique.

Workers in alcohol rehabilitation have encountered this phenomenon before, but usually in people in the advanced stages of dependency and not with any marked frequency. "It is madness to even think about about injecting alcohol," said Dr John Connolly, of the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology at Strathclyde University.

In a recent article, The Sunday Times interviewed a number of young people who had experimented. Lindsay, 18, a history student at Newcastle, injected bourbon whisky in order to win a drinking competition. "I wanted to show I was madder than anyone else." Presumably she succeeded.

The Home Office researchers chose Driffield in Humberside as a representative rural town. They found that drug abuse in general is increasing in such communities, as it has in cities. Although experts in the field say that the number of people injecting alcohol remains small, they are fearful of an increase.

:jointsmile: <- I'll stick to that!

[wrasler]

haha i have the same issue. ive been drinking for a few years now, and i still get nauseous (esp w/ weed). if i puke, its cause of the spins that makes me sick, not my esophagus or stomach being irritated.

[Polymirize]

you seem to be focusing on the esophagus and not the toxins in the system. If you're throwing up while drinking, its your body trying to reject those toxins because its too much for you too handle. Even if you could find a method that would allow you to "keep it down", you'd just be taking the damage directly to the liver and kidneys instead.

As far as I understand it at least, Birdgirl might be able to toss in some knowledge here, being the med student.

But I'd suggest you listen to her and just not set your heart on drinking to excess. Moderate yourself a little, you'll feel classier when you're not throwing up all over your shoes.

[slipknotpsycho]

not to mention a whole lot better in the morning :p

[Nochowderforyou]

I'm not 100% sure the exact details on why you get sick, but for obvious reasons, alcohol is a poison. Too much poison in ones system results in vomiting.

Another reason is dehydration. Alcohol dries you're body out big time, that's why you get the doomed hangover in the morning. If you're body has lack of water, you'd get the same symptoms.

All in all, drink in moderation. They say it's healthy to drink a glass of red wine or a beer or two a day.

What about just not drinking to the point that you're apt to get sick? Just a thought . . . .

nine times out of ten, if someone is under 21 , that just ain't possible.

[mfitzp]

Germans and the french have these little bottles of some type of spirit they drink the morning after a nite out to cure hangovers aparently it stops u from getting sick 2 i tried it tastes like shit lol

[cameron123240]

ive just come across this cool little thing called the quafer or quaffle or something like that; anyways its a shot glass that has 2 parts, a 2oz bottom, and a 1.5oz top, you pour your chaser like soda or an energy drink the bottom, put the shot in the top, and you drink it down so the last thing to go down is your chaser so you dont taste shit everytime your reaching for your pop after the shot.

maybe im psyching myself out or something;thinking about puking and focusing on the taste, like almost making the sickness come on sooner...:(

[cameron123240]

something i have found to help though, is smoking herb before drinking...that seems to prolong the amount of time before i get sick, and i don't even feel sick for the whole night, quite a nice effect, except for the fact that i dont want to fail any drug tests, so that isn't really an option at this point.


try it though it does work!:)

[slipknotpsycho]

in my experiences, drinking anything but your alcohol, will make it more likely for you to puke, i mean it's ok if you have to have it, but if you don't really need it, just drink the liqour, or drink as little of soda or whatever as possible... also, don't mix your alcohols, pick one thing and drink that exclusively... no drinking beer/wine liquor/beer liqour/wine... i mean some people can handle it but you obviously already have problems with handling your alcohol.. which i dont' blame you, i was only able to drink without getting sick a couple of years ago... and i had my first alcohol when i was 14 (first time getting drunk, i had stolen one of my grandpa's beers when i was like 9 and thought it was the most disgusting thing ever.... probably didn't help it was Busch)

and remember take it easy.. one single shot's worth may take awhile to kick in, but your body can only process a shot at a time, anything after that shot is just building up.. for your first time trying to hold it normally... take it slow, find your limits, then don't push them, use that as guidance from that point on... and don't do alot of jumping around or acting stupid once your drunk either as that will more than likely end up in the same end result

take care with your drinking!

unless you're absolutely sure it in the end doesn't make you sick do not drink and smoke... lots of people get sick from drinking and smoking... even i get 'sickly' if i drink enough to get drunk and smoke... it intesnifies the dizziness..

[tschmidty32]

HOOOOORAY BEEEER! These are some of my favorite drunk pictures...i'm the one with the beer case hat on lol...just drink at your own pace...if someone calls me a vagina for drinkin slower than them i just say fuck you...i mean in the end both of us will accomplish the goal, and the goal is to get fucked up...i'd just rather not puke.

[yoda]

i used to always out-drink my limit, and end up getting sick as hell, and i hated it, so i quit drinking for awhile.

now, i limit myself. when im feeling questionable, i just stop drinking for a bit till i feel fine. i spread out my shots more too. eat a little bit, but not too much.

[notransfer]

i drank 1.5 750s of jager with 6 packs of redbull every day for 3/4ths of a year.
on 3 occasions i puked blood, aside from that i had heartburn every day and was drinking large doses of mylanta to calm it. as for stopping irritation, dont binge drink for large periods of time, dont mix like a poster before said, try to be moderate in general, i imagine beer is more safe, liqersquicker. dont be stupid like i was. if you drink less and puke very rarely it probably means you are doing less damage in the long run. a blood test on me showed liver enzymes up meaning the beginning of liver death.
im convinced i have an ulcer from my previous activity...bleeding upon binge drinking resulting in small amounts of blood puke, as although, after 4 months of being abstinent from alc i have no heartburn anymore, im sensitive to stomach upsets in foods like onions and orange juice and too much tomato sauce..citric acid and ascorbic acid and such

as with anything potentially harmful

[quote=cameron123240]something i have found to help though, is smoking herb before drinking.QUOTE]

personally i dont like mixing herb and alcohol, cuz every time i do it i get really really messed up. last time it was drinkin absinthe and smokin herb... even though i had a good time, i still try to just stick to pot cuz it wont lead to something like alcoholism. i actually enjoy smokin reef way more than drinking, but thats just me :jointsmile:

but i must say absinthe is sweet
