Here are my stats so far: 16 Shots, 5 Drinks, 2 Red Bulls. I’m not drunk. My tolerance is so low that 2 shots make me messed up, let alone 16. I don’t know why I’m not. I blew under legal limit on a breathalyzer in the club too...though seeing as it was wet with the spit of like 100 people, eh.

The fudge? Every shot was strong as was every drink. Maybe it was the ton of shrimp plus the red bulls I had there. Idk.

Update: I Ubered home, my car will be retrieved later on. I have a slight headache but otherwise I feel normal.

I rang in the New Year by texting my crush and partying with a middle age trans woman who just started on hormones. Best NYE ever!!! Here’s to all of 2018 being like tonight!

Dancing? That would’ve burned off the alcohol and masked its effects.

Also, Happy New Year!

Normally that isn’t so for me. Hormones have made my level of tolerance hilariously low. I might be able to burn off a couple shots and a drink with the dancing I did tonight, but not a cumulative total of 16 shots and 5 really potent drinks.

Maybe I actually am drunk, but the Red Bulls have kept me alert and coherent? The breathalyzer could be wrong, especially seeing that it was a personal one being used by basically everyone there. lol

Increasing heart rate does not increase the speed that the liver metabolises alcohol to acetate.

I don’t know anyone who could do 16 shots and not be drunk at the end.

On a different note I am doing something similar to you and trying to get back in touch with an old friend. We used to talk every day back in middle school but we haven’t talked in over a year at this point. A couple of my friends have reminded me that we are both single at the moment and I have to at least investigate that opportunity considering I missed it 6 years ago.

If someone is getting a stupid amount of shots the bar tender will often water them down. Customer stays happy not being cut off, & bar tender makes more $.

The Red Bulls will mask the effects of the alcohol, thus making you “feel” less drunk than you actually are.

Make sure you drink lots of water - The Red Bulls also combine with the diuretic effect of the alcohol to dehydrate you even more. In other words, your hangover is gonna be rough.

Thanks for the heads up!

Funny enough, I have a 100% working way to avoid a hangover. After a night of heavy alcohol consumption, I’ll take two migraine pills before bed. No matter what, I won’t get a hangover.

This morning, my stomach hurts a little. That’s usually my indicator that I was heavily intoxicated the night before. I only get stomach aches when I have too much. So I guess there’s my confirmation that I likely was intoxicated, but I just couldn’t tell. Good thing I stopped drinking, I could have ended up with alcohol poisoning trying to feel a buzz.
