Its not really a myth, it does hold validity.

Drink 5 beers and then start taking shots…since your already heavily buzzed, you start POUNDING drinks at incredible rates. Which leads to black outs and general awesomeness.

Than again, quit being a pussy and lets take shots…

(Nice pose btw)

I’m a professional drinker. If you are going to mix beer and the hard stuff, it is best to drink them together in the beginning, and then switch to just beer later on. You will not get sick. You will be drunk, horny and hungry at closing time, but not sick. Also, beer/hard stuff BEFORE weed. I’m also a professional weed smoker. A 12 pack and then a joint, well, you will have the spins for at least an hour before you finally hurl your cookies. And if you had tripped in the last 5 years, you will get a flashback, with killer colors, for at least 15 minutes. Lie/lay on your back and enjoy your flashback. And then you will hurl. Been there, done that, and more than a few times.

what many people are forgetting is that different types of alcoholic drinks will ultimately affect individuals differently.

i know people who can drink beer after beer after beer and have no issue, but you give them a few shots of whisky and they can’t handle it. personally, i’m the opposite. i could drink two beers and have no buzz at all and wake up with a sick feeling stomach, however i could drink whisky all night and feel fine.

people are different and i simply wish they would pay attention to their own bodies and know what ‘rules’ work well for them.

You’ve got it all wrong. You’re overthinking it. Beer before liquor, never sicker. That’s because beer has carbonation. If you stack liquor (a still drink) on top of beer (a carbonated drink) and move around, you’ve created a ticking time bomb. All that carbonation builds up because its smothered by the liquor and eventually, you’ve turned yourself into an alcoholic geyser.

You can trust me, I’ve put YEARS of research into this hypothesis and I have conclusive evidence that this is the reason!

I’ve never heard of this phrase. But my dad just told me: “If you drink too much, you’ll get sick”

That motto has pretty much kept me safe.

But I like your article anyways

Rules?? Drinking strategies?? Self awareness probably covers that – anyone heard of it? Nope? Nice pic though. Pass me another double-fertlized vodka. Now that is a man’s drink – cheers mambo :O)

Drink Planner,

Ok I see the problem here. You’re calling it a myth and I think it’s a misunderstood rule. I’m not trying to debunk a myth. I’m clarifying a rule. That’s a whole different debate in itself. Actually its a whole nother blog post altogether:) DIBBS!

No, I got it. Again, that only gets you drunk quicker, not necessarily sick. You’re making an assumption that people can’t hold their alcohol. While it may be true for some that increasing their rate of consumption will eventually lead to getting sick the next day, it certainly doesn’t prove the myth. The myth again is based around mixing alcohols supposedly being bad for you.
