The f...Drunk is when you are past the float level.<br /><br />The float level is that point, after a couple and maybe just into the third, where you become miraculously witty, good at pool and darts, intelligent and good looking.<br /><br />This lasts for the duration of approximately one pint, after which you become a drunk and useless clown.<br /><br />It is possible to maintain the float level indefinitely, and never become 'drunk'. But this involves consuming alcohol at exactly the rate you are processing it, and that's about one unit per hour. Stunningly unlikely.Stighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07384475301412528216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717216232742676074.post-17800533750289044642010-11-01T09:28:12.382+00:002010-11-01T09:28:12.382+00:00Have a night off the grog, Dredgie.

In reflection of a nights drinking for me it's the point I start waffling on a load of crap that doesn't make much sense and embarasses me to remember.DJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03289287301524705994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717216232742676074.post-39233094061068359022010-11-01T09:00:37.352+00:002010-11-01T09:00:37.352+00:00For myself, I would class "drunk" as som...For myself, I would class "drunk" as somewhere beyond that point when I know I shouldn't drive (half to a pint depending on strength), by which I mean to say that I know my facilities are at least slightly impaired with almost any alcohol.<br /><br />I associate "drunk" with being beyond my personal comfort zone, when I stand up and find it a little bit more difficult than I thought to catch my balance. "Spinny room" is a clear sign, but that doesn't usually happen until later, when I lie down and close my eyes. I never get properly falling-down drunk - I know I have a vomit trigger* which always kicks in before that point, so always avoid (these days).<br /><br />*Apologies for using this term at this time in the morning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
