People thinking they can drink 1/2 a litre of a spirit without getting drunk = :banned:

Ok not banned, but I still think it's a complete lie :lol:. Unless it's one of those "Wait... no no... no wait... no.. I'm not drunk! Look! The wall is talking to me!" situations.

Also, odds are if your 18/19, there is no way you have drinks left after 3 hours :lol:

Probably.
I too only consider myself drunk when I pass out.
Even if I talk to the wall/bottle, I still don't consider myself drunk.

Just high , right ?

Though you'd need to be pretty hammered to be talking to walls while drunk .

I never multi-task on vices. :lol:

You probably will be talking to the wall also if it moves right in front of you.

"Please don't crush me!"

Hey, they start the conversation, you can't just ignore them. Most of the times they make jokes you just have to laugh to.

it could be an age/body weight/trained tolerance thing....back in the day, I was the same....now like half a litre of a spirit will get me close to drunk (as opposed to twice that much in the past)....

Double Black's are 8% alcohol content (as opposed to the crappy straight Black's which are only about 5%), the average beer might be 4-5%....we'll say 4% for argument's sake....so the average drink is 6%....those bottles are about 300mL, give or take....so 10 x 300mL = 3L of drink consumed....3L x 6% = 180mL pure alcohol....

actually, hold that, that's not that great....that works out to drinking about 450mL of a 40% spirit....

I guess it depends on how quickly you drink those splices....if it's over say 3 hours, yeah, I'd say you'd be drunk....but over a night of say 6-8 hours, then not so....if you're only about 18 or 19, more likely that you'll be more drunk regardless....

word of advice, ditch the splice beer mixes....if you want beer, drink beer....if you want rtd's, drink rtd's....if you want to mix, drink spirit, beer, wine, spirit, spirit, beer, beer....that was always my issue....I never stuck to one drink or style of drink....after a couple of beers I got sick of them (bloatedness & pissing too much), so I'd go spirits (maybe a bourbon, switch to a vodka, maybe to scotch)....hope that helps


Just 6% ABV? I can have ten 330mL bottles of beer+tequila (that's 5.9% ABV) without getting drunk. Of course I'll be pretty fucked up but not drunk, meaning I won't found the jokes made by walls/bottles funny.

Can. Not. Sleep.

Mon Oct 08, 2007 5:20 am

We.Noticed.That.

Anyways, I hate people who click me on msn and have nothing to talk about. Its like : "Hey. how you doing ?" and blank afterwards. Then they have the nerve to say that I don't want to talk to them. For god's sake what is their to talk about if your boring and don't say a thing ?

Ignorant people :x .

Mon Oct 08, 2007 5:25 am

Replying to them is a good start.
(After they say "Hey how you doing?")
If you don't reply after their initial message, they think you're busy thus they won't bother anymore.

Mon Oct 08, 2007 5:27 am

I hate when someone asks what you're upto and you say "not much, how about you?" or whatever, then they come back with "nm" and say nothing else. Wtf? Get off my list :x

Mon Oct 08, 2007 5:33 am

Shadow, you're an ass :lol: .

Of course I reply. Then they don't say anything and I'm forced to lead the convo .. since I'm a good guy and do that. And when they reply to my question or whatever they only say : hehe, lol , yes , no ... its annoying as hell .

And its usually always the same people who do this.

Mon Oct 08, 2007 6:49 am

Just do what I do: Don't reply. If they actually wanna talk to you they'll send you another message.

Mon Oct 08, 2007 10:44 am

Wow, I just visited the Live 08 forums. Nothing really more to say, you'd probably know how I'd feel if you had time to browse the threads there. I feel sorry for the mods who have to keep that place in check... I wouldn't be able to stand it in there.

Mon Oct 08, 2007 2:14 pm

Wait... there's a Live 08 section?? I haven't been there since I got Jaosming put on as a mod there, he is my hero.

Mon Oct 08, 2007 2:25 pm

If JaoSming goes insane, I'm putting the blame on you Jae.

Coffee+smoking+studying all night = posting at the NLSC every hour.

Yeah, it's truly depressing in there. Most of the time when you have a forum stuffed with complaints and whining, it's coming from about 2% of the people on the forum and the other 98% have no trouble with the game. Yet in there everybody hates Live, knows it sucks, and buys it every year anyway, giving EA no reason whatsoever to take alternative action.

I miss this place

Did you see how many patches I put into 07? Only now you think I could go insane?

It won't be long till we start calling him JaeSming.

If they posts after each other like Drex and Jona used to, then it's official.

JaeSming it is.
