The Underage Liquor Buying Guide or ulbg.zip by Delictum misc.txt Miscellanous Information These are some general rules and good ideas for drinking, a few funny stories, and some intersting facts. A. The most valuable quote, "liquor before beer, your in the clear, beer before liquor, you're getting sicker." What this means is that, if you have hard liquor, drink that first, than drink the beer you have. If you do it the other way around, and drink enough you will be puking your brains out! Also try to stick with ONE type of liquor if you plan on drinking a lot, otherwise you are more apt to mix 2 types that don't go well together, and you will not be happy at the end of the night. B. To prevent a hangover, some ideas that work are to: 1) Take 2 aspirin or tylenol before going to sleep after being drunk. 2)If you are drunk, wait until you are almost completely sober before going to sleep[this method has worked the best for me], this should prevent a hangover. 3)Have some coffee before going to sleep after being drunk. C. To get the most out of your alchohol, don't eat anything for a couple of hours before you drink. The more you eat, the more the alchohol breaks down in your blood stream. Do the opposite if you are trying to get sober quickly, but be aware that whatever you eat while drunk, may come up later. D. The proof of a liquor is simply the alcholic content times two! So to figure out the proof of 100 proof liquor, just divide by two(100 proof liquor, is a liquid that has 50% alchohol and 50% of whatever). E. Beer and malt liquor are ALWAYS BETTER COLD! F. If you plan on drinking with a girl, and aren't sure if she likes beer or the hard stuff, ALWAYS go with wine since they will rarely dislike it. G. DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE!!!!!! H. BRING CONDOMS WHEN YOUR GOING TO BE WITH GIRLS!!!! I. Supposedly if you suck on a penny before driving home, you will have a 0.0 bac(blood alchohol level) on a breathalizer test. Although I find this EXTREMELY HARD TO BELIEVE, you may want to try it. J. Hard liquor will get you in a more rambuncshish drunken state, while beer will leave you in a more settled state. K. When throwing a party, plan EVERYTHING BEFOREHAND! You will remember what you planned(unless you are drunk off your ass) before you were drunk, but will never think of what you need to do when drunk(well most of the time). L. If you need to be sober quick, drink lots of coffee(or anything that contains high amounts of caffeine) and eat lots of food(don't eat to much so that you throw up though). Liquor is a depresant, so I would assume anything that is a stimulant will reverse the affects. M. NEVER! NEVER! NEVER! MIX BARBITUATES AND ALCHOHOL!!!! This is how River Phoenix died! Barbituates are sleeping pills and drugs that do similiar things, NEVER(and this can't be emphasized enough) mix them. FAQ(A short one) 1. Why woln't liquor store owners sell me liquor even though they say they "Wish they could."? If a liquor store owner(or their employees)gets caught selling liquor to minors they can risk losing their entire buisness, will definatelly be fined, and person who sold it to the minors can be thrown in jail. One place we used to go to get liquor would sell to anyone and everyone. One day the guys got caught. The employee who sold it got sent to jail for a year(he got off in 4 months for good behavior), the store got fined $5,000 and they were warned that they would lose their entire store the next time they got caught. 2. But how in the world do the cops catch liquor stores? Well this is pretty sad, but they actually higher high school teenagers to try and buy liquor. They get paid VERY well, usually around $40.00 an hour, and all they have to do is walk in and try to buy it. If they are succesfull the cops get the store, the kid gets a pat on the back(he should get the shit kicked out of him) and no one is happy(I don't know why the cops would be happy, it is just one more report to file). Alternatives to drinking: Although getting drunk is fun, there are other depresants out there that may or may not be as fun. As far as getting a feeling you are drunk, there is a drug called GHB(it is fairly new) out there. The person who wrote the synthesis to make it(which is where I heard about it) said he would never drink again because this was so great. GHB is also VERY similiar to ecstasy in feeling(although chemically they are not even close in resemblance). So you may want to try that. Pot is also a depressant, although in my experiences I have found it to be NOTHING like getting drunk. I still enjoy getting drunk 100 times more than smoking out(in fact I quit pot altogether), but results vary. Common depressants(note that a depressant doesn't necessarily make you depressed, it merely slowes down your reactions(depresses them)) are Alchohol, Marijuana(it is also catergorized as a halucinagon), GHB, and MDMA(ecstasy)(this is a DEFINITE halucinogen, but it still depresses the senses to an extent).
