The first time you black out, you know your own personal "maximum alcohol dosage". After that, scale back to find your "normal alcohol dosage" and act accordingly.
- juliangregorian 12y agoInteresting definition for the word "normal" you have there.
- talmand 12y agoWhy?
- nostrebored 12y agoI think that not giving myself brain damage is normal. While I've never gotten blackout drunk, I've gotten close, and I know what the buildup to blacking out feels like, and I always stop drinking if I get that feeling. All of my friends do the same.
- juliangregorian 12y agoBeing blackout drunk doesn't feel like anything. You just can't remember anything after a certain point the night before. And while I appreciate the moralizing, I don't hang out with those people anymore, but for a lot of people it is "normal" in the sense that it is what they do habitually and with the tacit approval of their social circle.
- nostrebored 12y agoYou're saying you can't tell when you're getting too drunk to function at all? I'm nearly positive that if I drink anymore past that point, that's when I'd be blackout drunk. I'm not moralizing, I'm saying that your normal does not match with my experience at all. I would also say that the approval of isolated subgroups does not constitute normalcy.
- juliangregorian 12y agoI'm afraid you might be too sheltered to have anything approaching an objective view on the matter.
