Very noob-ish question, I admit...

I haven't had a drink in forever and there's a bottle of 21% rum in the cabinet. I'm sure this'll sound ridiculous, but for a ~140 pound guy who hasn't drank in a few months, how much will it take to get a mild buzz? I don't wanna get all fucked up or anything. I just want a little buzz, maybe half-drunk but not totally drunk. Especially because I'm going to be around people today and I need to be able to function and keep the smell of alcohol to a minimum.

Please don't flame me. I am, contrary to what you may believe due to the somewhat naive question I am posting, pretty experienced with drinking and drugs. But when I drink, I always drink the hard stuff (usually 80 proof at least). I've never drank enough of any low-proof booze to get a buzz, so I'm not sure what amount it would take.

I know that people generally don't ask alcohol questions on here, but alcohol is a drug, after all, so I guess I'm not totally wrong by posting this here.

Thanks in advance,
Paul
 
Well if it's 21% that makes it 42 proof so it's about half as potent as the 80 proof you're pretty experienced with. So general logic would say to drink about twice as much.

Duh...man, people on here make me feel so dumb sometimes. I don't know how I didn't think of that, haha.

Oh well, I'm cool %)
 
I would say have one glass. Not too big of a glass though. The way I figure it is that since it is twice as potent as wine, and two slighly large glasses of wine should have you feeling nice than one glass of the rum should have you feeling nice.
 
Sorry, if you have to ask in a forum how much you should drink to get a buzz you either need serious help or are REALLY starved for attention.

Dude, take a brief journey to reality where you HAVE A FEW FUCKING DRINKS AND SEE HOW IT MAKES YOU FEEL.

What's next, a thread on where to put the pillow for maximum comfort?

Best way to hold your dick when you pee?

How to talk to girls?

Weakest thread question I have literally ever seen. Seriously, take a little responsibility for yourself and learn by doing.
 
Its simple really take a few glasses stand up and walk around iff you feel a little merry then you are ok iff you don't take another glass or 2.

your post was rude but this made me laugh

we all do silly things OP. but yeah with alcohol you can usually just see how you feel after a shot or two or a small glass. takes 20-40min to kick in sometimes depending on stomach
 
Yeah I know I was a little rude but there was a valid point to my comments - I can't understand someone starting a thread for "advice" on something so basic and obvious. It borders on trollism, people really shouldn't even respond to such inane questions. I mean really, how much should I drink to get a buzz?? There is only one answer: drink until you are buzzed and then you'll know.

As far as the pillow goes, I recommend one of those 5 foot full-body pillows and then every part of you can have the pillow!
 
one things for sure, dont overly drink, ive never met anyone that was happy when they drank to much lookin fo a guzz and ending up hammered
 
It's true, people who haven't experimented a lot with pillows should be careful. They are quite alluring, giving the user a very comforting, warm & fuzzy feeling. It's easy to get caught up in it and before you know it you're at bed, bath and beyond every weekend comparing down and foam and all sorts of foreign materials desperately looking for that perfect "fluff."

You'll wind up spending all your money, your bed will be covered In them and you won't be able to resist just jumping in every night, letting your entire body get lost in them.

After a while, tolerance builds and it doesn't matter how many you have or how pure the down is, nothing will give you that "laying on clouds" feeling you used to get.

Seriously, your better off steering clear of the whole scene and just lay your head on a sack of laundry every night - it doesn't sound so appealing but i swear you'll thank me later.
