<p>Just don’t turn into one of those dumbasses whose first words are when they meet someone at a party are “How many beers can you drink?”</p>
<p>haha has someone actually said that?</p>
<p>and you can go dance without drinking. nobody would notice how drunk or not drunk you are</p>
<p>Yeah. I just asked what year of high school he was in.</p>
<p>haha nice</p>
<p>You’ll probably want to start off with an apartment party first. If you go to a frat/soror party you might have girls come up to you asking, “Hey, you want to chug a beer/shot with me?” it will be hard to say no and you’ll get drunk real quick. A good way to test your limit lol.</p>
<p>Theres also sayings like “beer before liquor, never been sicker” and “liquor before beer, you’re in the clear.”</p>
<p>For the party go all out with your appearance with nice clean clothes, presentable hair, a little cologne. When you’re there be sociable join in the games, talk with people, smile, dance a little if you want.</p>
<p>“liquor before beer, you’re in the clear.”</p>
<hr>
<p>ugh stupid censors… “horse-hockey”</p>
<p>
Sure. I usually don’t pull that off very well… but that’s at clubs. I don’t think I’ve ever been to a party with a “dance floor.” You can get up and dance anywhere though (and people do) :). If you pull off having a good time while still appearing moderately intelligent and not entirely slutty but obviously not a prude, chances are you’d be pretty attractive to me :). Thinking back, I always assume those girls are out of my league… I wonder if they think that about me… HAHAHAHA… Right…</p>
<p>just learn to pretend to be drunk. like, grab a cup of whatever soft drink, then go crazy.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No. The rate of alcohol absorption is constant. Concentration doesn’t make a difference. This is whole thing is a myth.</p>
<p>yeah i don’t think it matters. i do both all the time. if you’re having “trouble” after mixing, its just because you’ve had too much.</p>
<p>Guys, if you never been to a party before or drank before college. Don’t worry. I was in your same shoes but once I came to Purdue, everything went by well. The advice on coming late and never on time is very true. Also, don’t be that lightweight drunk at every party, people will recognize you sooner or later. Once you start drinking more and more, you will obviously build your tolerance up. Coming with a few friends also is a plus.</p>
<p>Partying covers a huge range. Often it now means “Go to a huge place with a ton of strangers and drink a lot”. But there are lots of parties that are very different. Really. Sometimes people just get together to eat and drink in moderation and talk/dance. You’ll know which is which pretty quickly. And there are plenty of beginners out there. Be nice, you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>Why do you think we deal with so many stupid drunk freshman girls during welcome week? They can’t handle themselves. I really believe high school seniors should try it out a bit, because if you never drank b4, its gonna be a real rough night first time out.</p>
<p>I’ve seen the most ridiculous stuff before, including girls making bad choices with real nasty creepers. Thats why we limit the amount of random guys coming into our house, but then again, its hard when they all claim they are “rushing”.</p>
<p>Parties paralyze me. I really hope alcohol will help me break free from my inhibitions. They’re truly debilitating.</p>
<p>Yea I always wondered if the sayings are true or not. I never followed them I just drank whatever everyone else was doing at the time. Good to know.</p>
<p>The one time I got blackout drunk, I had liquor before beer. Guess I wasn’t so in the clear amirite</p>
<p>It’s not about blacking out, but vomiting. If you didn’t vomit, you were in the clear ;).</p>
<p>I think the only reason people think the saying is true is because if you take some shots of whiskey first, you won’t feel sick until you’ve been drinking beer for awhile, but by then you won’t think of it. You would just be sick and not have any feeling on what particular drink made you sick (they all did).</p>
<p>If you drank beer first, were drunk, and then had some barbed-wire-grade whiskey go down your throat into your stomach, you would remember that for true. You would single it out as “the drink” that made you drunk because it was so startling, or rather, if you heard of the stupid saying, you would think it so.</p>
<p>But it is really all perception. Doesn’t matter either way.</p>
<p>The more you have in you, the easier it becomes to put more down. Don’t be stupid or you WILL be kissing the porcelain goddess, or worse.</p>
<p>I did vomit… I didn’t even remember doing it :(</p>
<p>The only time I’ve vomited from drinking was when I woke up still drunk and got in a car for 4 hours with a bad driver… It was horrible.</p>
