Help me out here.

[JimLahey]

Lately when I get drunk it feels like I go from undrunk to near blackout. I can't find the happy medium, and if I do it doesn't last long. What am I doing wrong here? It doesn't feel like I'm drinking too fast... My usual ritual is to have 2-3 beers and then move on to the hard stuff. I feel like I'm undrunk, then really drunk and hungry, have a meal and get super sleepy, what the shit man?

[ThirstyDrunk]

Eat first. Wash down a meal with a few brews then hit it.

Thirsty, I always have a meal before I drink. It takes me forever to get drunk, but when I do all I want is to eat and go to bed, the glow doesn't last long.

I've noticed something like this with different drinks. Drinking tequila makes me feel like either undrunk or hammered, with no in between. Gin & Tonic, on the other hand, is a delightful progression into buzzedhood. Drinking on a completely empty stomach can mess up the process, though.

I'd suggest a couple things. Try waiting longer after you eat to start drinking. If I start in right away after eating, it definitely makes me tired. Also, try changing your ritual up. I had a similar ritual going, and recently found that after the beers and first drink of liquor, I felt really drowsy. Maybe start with some liquor to get it going, then ride it with some beer?

Another idea is to try to do shit when drinking. Sitting around probably makes one sleepy.

Or you could try one of them energy drink things.

I do that on an hourly basis.

I ain't gonna wipe his ass! His llama, maybe.

This might do the trick.
The food in your stomach might be soaking up all the alcohol and delay its entry into your bloodstream. Then the food enters your intestines and all of the alcohol hits you. Just an hypothesis, but worth a thought.

Also, try drinking blood from a slaughtered goat.
