When my friend tells me he had 20 shots of Tequila last night and stayed sober

In college the only Hispanic girl in my graduating class (I was living in Canada) said that she could out drink us all if we did nothing but tequila shots. Eight shots later we lost her and found her outside the front door, sitting, crying, and puking all over herself. In her defense, it was a fantastic night!

As a recovering alcoholic I will just say that anyone that can handle that amount of alcohol doesn't go around advertising it. I have no pride in the fact that what many consider a big night of drinking is what I used to call breakfast.

Even before I came to terms with my problem (making excuses for myself "I can handle a lot," "just having fun," "it's not hurting anyone," "I'm not driving anywhere," "I don't have to work tomorrow" the list goes on) I would actually make people think I had drank less than I did.

Would it be possible for me to drink 20 shots of tequila when I was at my worst? Yeah, probably, sadly and even sadder, I'd likely have several beers in between those shots. But I wouldn't go around advertising the destruction of my body and feeding of my addiction as something to brag about.

Sorry, I hate to get all preachy since when I first quit I hated hearing about it over and over again as well. But I stand by my original statement: those who can actually handle that much alcohol likely aren't going around yelling it from a mountain...they're watching you count how many drinks they've seen you have and you feel they are gauging how bad your addiction is while you try to seem like a "social drinker."

I had a friend that insisted he couldn't get drunk (19 years old) because he had "3 glasses of wine and didn't feel a thing and drank beers before".

Vodka and Jack changed his tune that night. The other three of us laughed considerably.

Not knowing that you're drunk is the most dangerous kind of drunk there is. If he actually believes this, and is not bullshitting, then he needs help and supervision from friends.

it depends why he drank them. everyone knows that if you only drink as a way to get rid of alcohol so someone else won't get more drunk, then you'll still be good to drive

alienangel2 · 3 months

I guess it depends on what he defines as "night". If he means he drank them between 7pm and 10am (possibly sleeping in between), then sure, he might think he was still sober.

I can manage like 5 while thinking I'm sober, even though I'm in reality pretty shitfaced. Just keep sitting there not talking to anyone, and you can not notice you're shitfaced.

I used to drink often, now I cannot get "happily" drunk. Either I am sober or totaled. And even a little of strong alcohol will result in a hangover, luckily there is beer. Fuck me.

camma0 · 3 months

OK, so i was about 18 / 19 when i was just starting to drink alcohol. I bought a very cheap bottle of tequila and went over to a friends house for some drinks. I drank a large portion of that bottle strait (probably not 20 shots, maybe about 1/2 or 3/4 of the bottle). I still remember the night because it felt as though the alcohol had no effect on me, like literally no effect. To the point of where I ended up going home and going to sleep because i had wasted my money. I had a slight headache in the morning and other effects of a hangover, but never felt drunk the night prior. Maybe your friend wasn't talking shit. TL;DR Drank shitload of Tequila once, didn't get drunk at all.

Years ago I was in Mexico with my wife, and we ended up playing beer pong with a group of 6 lesbians we met at the resort. I dont drink beer, so I was taking shots of 100 year old tequila. At the end of the night I had 20 or 21 (no exaggeration) tequila shots and was totally sober. I actually commented to my wife that it was odd that I was walking and talking fine on the way back to the room (usually my speech is the first to go). We went back to the room and went to sleep.

The next morning I woke up and my stomach was bothering me a bit, so I decided to make myself throw up before my flight to ensure I didnt have any drama on the plane. That kicked off the most horrible ~6 hours of my life.

It was hell trying to get through the mexican airport with all of our luggage constantly feeling like I was going to throw up again, or shit myself in front of everyone. On the plane I went to the bathroom and it smelled like 1000 sweaty mexicans died in my ass. Even my pee stunk exceptionally.

I rarely drink tequila, and never in quantity before or after that experience.

It's happened to me a few times. I call it "The Cork".

It's as if I have a cork in my belly and every drink i have makes me feel more and more bloated.

I was in San Diego and had to drive to Costa Mesa... I had about 15 drinks/shots but was sober. We hit a military check point. The searched the cars in front of me... made them step out and search the truck, everything. Meanwhile I am shitting my pants that I am gonna blow a .67 or something ridiculous due to the fact that I am stone cold sober but have a belly full of liquor.

I pull up for my turn, as I am literally holding my passenger up in his seat with my right arm so he doesn't fall in my lap. The 2 in the back are asleep.

I got waved through! I got waved through....

One of the scariest moments of my life.

I find that when people recall their first or close to first time drinking they greatly over exaggerate how much they drank.

I remember my first time drinking I had about 20 beers, a quarter bottle of scotch, 10 shots of tequila, and a bottle of wine.

After redditing for so long, I thought I had it called with the response photo being the Jennifer Lawerance "Yeah, okay" photo.

Was incredibly disappointed. I'm madly in love.

But in relation, no one really claims to do this and is serious. I'm a very large male with alcohol tolerance to even tequila and after six shots, I feel it. Unless your friend is the Hulk, or doesn't have a liver and blood, this is the false barking of a small dog.

Kind of like an old friend of mine who showed up with a bottle of jack daniels and some other bottle with something else, emptied the jack daniels in like an hour and said he can drink anything without ever getting really drunk.

Ended up semi-passed out on the balcony, with the balcony floor covered in vomit.

The next day he said "Got a little drunk, but at least I didn't throw up." The guy who threw the party said "Wild party, but at least nobody threw up"....

true story. One night.. had 75% jamaican rum right before hitting a club with my cousins. Was drunk but worked itself out over the evening (didnt drink at the club). Next night had a wedding. Both me and one of my cousins had at least 16 crown and cokes each over about 4 hours. Felt nothing. We assumed the 75% from the night before affected us some how.. but im no expert.

Once in my twenties I had twenty one shots of vodka and aside from a light headache I stayed relatively sober. I remember because I was the one chasing my two drunk friends away from the middle of the highway. They apparently entered a sprinting contest inbetween the cars to prove they weren't drunk, and I ran from the sides, desperately trying to catch up with them to pull them back to the sidewalk.

So yeah, those vodka shots were probably watered down, but I emptied 21 shot glasses.

A friend I made in high school.. We were 14 I believe.. Used to get drunk on weekends so thought he was hardcore. I had never been drunk before, so when he invited me to one of these drinking nights I went along. He claimed to have a big tolerance to alcohol and could drink me under the table. We only drank playing games, so we had about the same. He threw up everywhere and I just kinda passed out under the bed puke-free. I was definitely drunk, though.

I hated the superiority people felt when drinking back then as much as I hate it now.

I stopped caring about tolerance when a very close friend checked herself into rehabilitation and blew a 0.39% BAC. She drove herself there and was having a conversation with a counselor and no one could tell she was drunk.

vanderbugger · 3 months

I dunno. I used to work as a bartender at a gay bar and in the course of a shift I was frequently bought shots by my clients. If I said no thanks, they'd often not tip so, what the hell, I'll take a shot of Tequila thank you very much. Now on busy nights, I'd have 15-20 shots of Tequila in the course of 4 or 5 hours and if I had been busy all night I wouldn't "feel" drunk at all because of the rush (okay, there were usually a few "bumps" of blow as well). So your friend could be a coke-head instead of a liar.

statusone · 3 months

Hate to be the party pooper here but it is possible because with tequila you eat lemons. Lemons have a chemical process that slows down the conversion of alcohol from your stomach to your bloodstream, so effectively you smooth out your intoxication.

When I was 16 I did 12 shots and like a tonne of lemons and was just a little bit tipsy and thought I was a boss. I tried doing the same with vodka (no lemons, remember) and I only got to 5 shots before my shit broke loose
