A few years ago I developed a scale so I could analyze how drunk I got. It is real helpful in keeping me from over-drinking and making a complete ass out of myself. I call this scale:
Nick's Six-Point Unofficial Scientific Scale of Intoxication.
And it goes a little bit like this:
► Level One: Lightly Buzzed -- After just one or two drinks you feel a bit light headed, but good!
► Level Two: Buzzed -- After a few more drinks you become a bit frisky and exuberant.
► Level Three: Heavily Buzzed -- Watch out. Your hands have a mind of their own!
► Level Four: Drunk -- You start to become a bit slurry and incoherent. [Here is where I usually stop drinking.]
► Level Five: Really Drunk -- This is the point you may become beligerant, or sleepy, or whatever, depending on what kind of alcoholic you are.
☺ Level Six: FUBAR -- You're an asshole. You puke everywhere and get in fights or have unprotected sex and sometimes black out.
I know it may seem a bit neurotic to quantify how drunk I get, but I tend to do things a bit obsessively. I got Level 4 on Friday at the bowling alley, and I had a blast. You know...I should get drunk more often!

Re: get drunk more often
Sometimes it is good to just let go and get smashed... no worries until the next day.. I've only gone that far twice... and that was BAD...March 24 2005, 13:56:19 UTC 7 years ago
Perhaps....
Well, what I keep in mind is that there is always "a next day." The first time I got drunk, I got smacked across the face by a big, black girl and almost landed in a camp fire because we were playing Truth-or-Dare. "The next day" I had to deal with her boyfriend.~~NMarch 24 2005, 21:50:07 UTC 7 years ago
