What do you class as "Drunk"
I was just thinking about this.
To me i wasn't drunk unless i have extensive memory loss (couple of hours etc).
Anything else is "just a few drinks" or "a quiet night out".
I mention this because although i don't think i'm an alcoholic i do feel the need to get drunk at least once every 2 weeks.
When i don't i cant an anxious kind of feeling that persits until i go and get wrecked.
I'm getting that anxious feeling now although a week past Saturday i drank enough to get brief memory loss towards the end of the night (5 minute intervals etc).
So where do you "draw the line"?

See, i have never had any trouble with walking when drunk.
I think it comes from living in Glasgow.
I realised early on that if you are drunk you don't want to look it unless you want to quickly become a "victim" (and staggering home would certainly do that).

well when standing up and you need to lean against the wall .. that kind of stuff
it is not that i fall or something .. but it is still 'on the edge'
when i can't walk i usually remember only bits and pieces the next day.
and in my sink there are bits and pieces.

If you plan on drinking "seriously" you should always do so standing up.
You're asking for trouble otherwise.
Just another handy hint from Rankin.

Well, I'm not that much of a die-hard drinker.... I rarely take alcohol and when I do I'm usually wasted quite fast... =/
Oh, and I don't really like beer.... unless I have a "good beer day"

The official definition of binge drinking is "three drinks or more".
However, I had four beers before 11 AM Saturday without much of a buzz and I'm somewhat of a lightweight.
It's a crap definition. If you are wondering if you are an alcoholic or not ask yourself how many nights a week do you drink. Far as I know binge drinking is far less likely to cause alcoholism than a high frequency drinking schedule.

surely the question should be "what make you an alcoholic?"
binge drinking every night/every other night/most nights?
or
having a dependancy on alcohol which you're aware of subconsciously, but consciously dont want to admit to? ...in turn leading to the above...

Nah i know i'm not an alcoholic (although the whole sitting in my flat on my own drinking vodka thing could be "worrying").
I just wanted to know how "impaired" people need to be to class themselves as drunk.
So how "impaired" do you need to be?

drunk.... hmmmm.... my mum says i'm drunk when i start throwing up outside the kelvingrove art galleries on a friday night after having jumped off a number 62.... but if i'm throwing up, it's not cos i'm drunk, it's purely becuase i cant drink water after drinking alcohol.
i'm drunk when i close my eyes and feel like my brain's going round and round in my head and i just want to go to sleep... even if it's on the shoulder of a complete stranger on a bus...

It's funny you should mention that.
The last time i threw-up was "the-morning-after-the-night-before".
I had a headache but didn't feel too bad otherwise.
I got up and drank some water (to rehydrate myself and thereby kill off my headache).
Lying back in bed when the water hit my stomach i started feeling sick and the feeling just got worse and worse.
I was eventually forced to go and throw-up.
Luckily throwing up due to alchol is still a relatively rare occurance for me.

Well to be honest I cannot stand being hunched over the toilet the morning after wrenching my guts up so I've revised my limit (i.e. when Im drunk) to when I spout bullsh**t,start slurring my speech,can no longer feel the cold and when I think drinking quite a lot of shots of jack daniels would be a good idea.
That's when Im drunk,anything further than that i.e Falling over,memory loss,falling asleep is "pissed".

Same for me.
More often that not these days I have 'quiet nights out' although I do get drunk occasionally.

i don't get 'drunk' very often
i drink until i'm feelin good.. then slow down.
when i start acting silly then i know i'm drunk.
when i start throwing up (only done twice) or can't remember things (once) then i've been pissed :\

imo to be drunk you wanna have that buzz, loss of inhibition, slurred speech, loss of coordination, etc. ... what the **** you wanna drink more for? if i drink any more i start feeling nauseous and like the whole world is spinning (not the good kind of spinning either), you make an ass out of yourself and you can't remember ****
the three times that i've passed out / puked (they always come in pairs) i hated the experience, i drink to get stupid not to feel like crap

Having lived in Wales for 2 years - apparently when I get drunk my "welshie" accent comes out more and I sound more Welsh... *sigh*
Other than that there really isn't a tell tale sign - except that I talk a lot more than usual and get really really really really horny.

Only One time have i actually not been able to walk when drinking
This time i couldnt walk, myself and a friend drank a bottle and a half of vodka between us within 20 minutes or so. The grass in the park became the walls, and everything spun round, i was fully ****ing seperated from my body.. it was funny for around, 5 seconds. I spewed after 3 hours, and phoned my rents for a lift. I was stuck to the ground, and was scared of almost everything. If an outsider had seen me, they would have called an ambulance.
About five times i have been way over the limit (excluding the above). On these occasions ive passed out before (or mid) doing stupid things. Ive passed out on a couch, in a park(different one), and in 3 different friends houses. I normally end up getting semi-naked on this level on drunkeness. Outsiders can tell im totally ****ed, and i cant hide it.
Over twenty five times i have been (my definition of) drunk. On this level, i sing loudly, have no shame, and forget i hate people. Things are more funny, and im slower. Im also more generous, and impulsive. I have a great time. I can at least try and pretend im sober and hold short conversations. I have a 50/50 chance of being "rumbled" by outsiders.
Around thirty times i have been festive. This is when things are generally funnier, and im relaxed. I have a slight head buzz, but nothing to speak of. I am completely normal to outsiders.
