I remember being 120lbs after hs and drinking a bottle of rum a day after work. I would black out here and there if I was drinking alone so I’m not one of these 8%. But at a party I’m going til last call. Just shows with tolerance and provocation it may seem like it you’re one of those guys but really you’re just an alcoholic 😂

That, my friend, is called a high functioning alcoholic.
yep!!!
Ayyyyooooo!
Me too
True. But not really. He's stating facts. Even when I was a teenager I wasn't an alcoholic but I could just drink and drink and drink and drink. Almost like it wouldn't affect me then the next thing I knew I was messed up. When I was seventeen I out drank a whole party of people. By the end of the night everybody was laying on the floor passed out and I was still just sitting there smoking. I can do this today. I can easily take five or six shots back-to-back and that is like a warm up for me. FYI I don't drink anymore but it still the same
@@beefnacos6258 you have high concentration of hemoglobin
That actually runs in my family. My grandfather who passed due to alcoholism made me promise him I'd never drink, and 27 years old I have never had a sip of alcohol. He saved me from a life of dependency on it, I hope to see him again some day and tell him I kept that promise.
U will here’s the sign
Oh please keep that promise 🙏 I didn't keep that promise to my mother and I did drink and use and it is a fight everyday. Im almost 5 years sober March 9th. It's so good to hear someone say I kept my promise. Thank you for your love towards your family. It's a disease of the mind soul and body. You keep making those good decisions 🤟
That's awesome bro addiction is hell. It's never worth it.

He was just an alcoholic who was moody and had withdrawal symptoms. So when he drank he became more happy becuz of curving the withdrawal. Right? Is that more accurate?
@@thugginugly1941 yeah but he's gone now so to me it's just a memory that makes me happy..even though my dad was an alcoholic he was the best freakin dad in the world he was in the navy for 21 years and he always was there for us I miss him everyday

Welcome to the club
Hey! I’m in a club I didn’t know about! Ha my wife says “I feel like you have one drink, but I see you with 10.”
NOT The same thing.
Where do you hide your drunk?
My fiancé doesn’t drink very often at all, but this video describes him so well. i and all of our friends are CONVINCED this man cannot get drunk, at all. It’s like he doesn’t lose his coordination or judgment or slur his words, he just gets really bubbly and happy
This describes me too. I’ve always been the DD. The two times I’ve been drunk where my first time drinking and a second time where I tried to get drunk and had my own personal 300$ bar tab. The second someone said it was time to go, I went from blurred vision to crystal clear though, like someone snapped your fingers and reality shifted.
i have autism my brain work better under alcohol been sick or sleep less
Yeah drink 0,5l of wodka and then we will talk
That's me also but I always get super sick the next day because of how much I put down so I just stopped drinking all together lol.
Let’s hope he’s not going a line of coke with every couple of shots haha that will keep you from getting drunk too
That was me. I am Welsh and Scottish and my mum called it the "Celt Curse" I would drink my paychecks. I couldnt stop. I would not black out. Money would run out.....then it would get bad. I finally had to get help. The cure? Stop drinking. 20 years later Im better for it. Not a drop since 2003. It was the only way I could get well, hold a job down and not blow my money
Exactly me. No black outs. Spending absurd amounts of money. Food would stay down if I drank.
Your a rare bird.probly a problem drinker...Few straight up alkys quit.
This is just alcoholism. Good for you for stopping. I did the same. I didn’t black out. But the cocaine probably helped that too.
Good for you. Stay strong 💪🏻

He just described me to the t. I was an alcoholic for 20 years. I could drink a case or more with hard liquor in a day not sleep for 3 days and keep drinking without blacking out. People never understood when I tried to explain the effect of alcohol on me. I finally just quit a few years ago. Strange thing is I have not wanted it since.
This further solidifies the notion that I'm just a garden variety alcoholic.
I don't experience this, so thank you.
Ooooooo you want to drink again oooooooo
@@verteizmus7807 as much as I chuckled at this it probably shouldn't be said 😅
That's how I currently am, it gets pretty bad. How did you end up quitting?
@@skylarkelsch The older I got I developed a few health problems that called for a few life style changes, drinking and smoking were 2 things that had to go. I just quit cold turkey. I felt strange for a couple of days and that was it. Every once in awhile for the first 6 months I would want a drink randomly and had to catch myself but other than that no real withdrawal symptoms. I would advise you to not take my advice though. From what my doctor has told me there are not many people who can quit drinking with a snap of the fingers and not go into the dt's after a while. It actually astounded my doctor. If you want to quit at least go to a doctor, they make medication that can lessen the withdrawal effects if you experience them. You can do it.
None of this means your liver isn't damaged immensely by alcohol abuse
Hahaha
True but the liver is a fucking champion at healing itself, unless you damage it to the point it fails it can recover just fine
@@michael6880 Yes and no. Once the liver reaches a certain level of alcohol induced damage, you end up with liver cirrhosis. That happens way before failure and dooms you to a steadily declining liver
True I have this mutation and I got my liver and intestines looked at when I was 20 and I had sever liver damage but for some reason I just can’t stop drinking, even after I’ve been told by the doctor if I don’t quit I’ll die by 28. I’m 23 now

That's why back in the day i could 15-18 beers a day and still function like i was sober 😂😂😂
Do not be mistaken about the tipping point though, because it comes at some point where the sometimes even heavy sedative effects completely overtake the nervous system in a fell swoop.
Yeah there is only so much poison your liver can metabolize at once lol
I'd usually hit a point where I'd spew my guts out, then black out for a few hours.
Mentally the next day was awful. Not because of physical symptoms, but because I just had no motivation to do anything. So I'd just lie in bed all day.
They will fall asleep mid sentence.
Nah man, the only thing that will take these people down is withdrawal.
I might be this . I don’t really get drunk , i just drink 11-12 in a couple hours then get dizzy and fall down and fall asleep . I did my university quantum mechanics final about 9 drinks in
the sedative point is pretty sudden for me, i imagine between 10-16 drinks for people. Will advise back after this weekemd

I'm 45 and have experienced alcoholism my entire life but, have never drink a beer.lost my mother at 6 to a drunk driver,my father has been a drunk as long as I can't remember. My uncle is in a trauma unit right now because he trusted another alcoholic to drive him home. Personally, I believe it's more like 50/50.I know LOTS of people that drink but ONE THING FOR SURE, everyone that drinks are incapable of making good decisions. Also 9 out of 10 will not hesitate to jump behind the wheel. Which is the #1 killer of innocent people. Please be careful this Holiday Season and If your going to drink Please don't Drive,The Life you save may be your own.
Man, I have a family friend that got behind the wheel on 4th of July a few years back. He drove into head on traffic on a highway and killed a family of four traveling for the holiday. Absolutely horrendous… He is serving life as we speak.
Wow that's rough. Hope you stay strong 💪
Having said that, I feel like beer puts me in a very interesting meditative state. I feel like I see things more clearly when I get a bit of buzz from beer. I'm not one to drink too much though. It's just... Meh, overall.
I get more friendly and happy. I've never blacked out. I always thought my friends talking about blacking out and having no recollection from prior night were messing with me. I remember everything the next day, even the embarrassing stuff. Actually, it stops me from over-drinking.
i knew this big Samoan looking guy (he was actually Mexican) that drank 24/7 for 5 years, he never looked drunk and would work like a machine and was always happy singing and dancing, I would see him very often bc we worked for the same realtor a lot, then one day he was different, he was calm and quiet and I asked him if he was ok and he said I quit drinking, then proceeded to tell me he had been drunk from the time he woke up till he fell asleep every single day for the past 5 years. I was mind blown to see the quality of work he did while being intoxicated
RIP that guy's liver.
He was actually Mexican haha
That's what most of my alcoholic friends tell me before they pass out in front my porch 😂
I had a roomate in college. And I think she was one of these 8%. When we went out drinking with friends, she drank very little, but felt like she did a kilo of cocaine. She was jumping around, running, feeling incredibly happy and euphoric. And if you tried to stop her, she would bite you or run away from you. We just thought this was a sort of depression relief for her through alcohol, because she was usually very sad or depressed. Funny how consuming the same thing has such different effect on us.
That's like the opposite of what he was describing
Bite you? 😂
100% me, i never understood how some people would become aggressive and depressive after drinking... i'm literally the happiest man alive whenever i drink
I understand you. I dont feel anything after 2 bottle of wine. But I destroyd my dopamin produksjon, sorry im Norwegian so not perfect in english write
Hey buddy good for you, but just to clarify this ‘genetic mutation’ described in the video is commonly seen in alcoholics. And people who have this genetic mutation are significantly more likely to develop alcoholism in their lives.
@@nash6102 ☝️🤓
As an introvert that’s been clinically diagnosed with attention deficit at an early age, alcohol really increases my concentration and extroversion. My working memory is cleared from most distractions that are typically there, and I’m more witty and closer to being the life of the party. I get really happy when drinking, and usually everyone loves that side of me.
Your happy and hour family is miserable.
My tolerance got high I was drinking at a minimum 1/5th a Jack Daniel's at home daily on top of whatever I drank at the bars or a buddies house. Last day I worked I was 28yo so I was home all day everyday & in pain all day so I was drinking most the day. But since I was never drunk or not taking care of myself & responsibilities no one thought I had a problem. I quit April 17 2018 so I'm about to hit 5yrs sober soon 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I was in a similar way..drinking handle of vodka daily..one day my body couldn't do it anymore..i destroyed my throat and stomach so badly I couldn't do it..kind of like frank on shameless..I was drinking beer because it was easier on my throat/stomach but I couldn't keep away the shakes with it...I went into the hospital, detoxed and been sober ever since and have no desire to go back. I have 3 1/2 years currently myself. Keep your head up!
Congratulations 👍
Way to go brother
Hell yeah! I got 2 years sober. I was a high functioning alcoholic but I allowed it to wreck my life. DUI’s , jail , f’d up relationships. My only complaint is that I didn’t sober up earlier in life. So much opportunity thrown away.
Praise God!!!! Happy with you fam
I'm sure I have this as part of prior alcoholism (sober 13 years). Alcohol is like a stimulant for me that can nearly put me into a manic-like state if I drink enough. Led to some great times and horrid times.
Sir your a alcoholic far different than what he’s talking about. I get your point but to answer your comment. No. You are not part or close to the “8%”

My alcoholism makes a lot more sense now.
And now we know, we can drink much more.
Same to me.
I don't know how the gene works or if it's even real, but I get euphoric at like 4 shots, and if I do I'll get alcohol cravings during the week. If I only drink a little that doesn't happen, and if I drink too much I get sick same as anyone else
I've never blacked out and I have a good tolerance but at some point the body rejects it. Like nah you ain't gonna black out but you're gonna throw up and remember every single minute of it and all the stupid shit you did 😆
Dude literally I go from feeling amazing to dieing in one drink.
And I remember all of it
I've been both of these people at different points in my life.

I'd be an alcoholic if it didn't destroy my intestines. I'm the only person I know that gets an after glow instead of a hangover. I'm always in such a good mood the next day.
I used to be the same, unless I get obliterated and blackout, the next morning I would feel a mild euphoria and sense of well being. Zero anxiety like people describe. I would always want to hangout with my hungover friends as long as possible the next morning lol.. that changed as I got older. I’m 25 now, and it either doesn’t happen anymore because my brain changed or because I’m helplessly addicted to kratom and take it 5x daily for the past 6 years. Kinda find I enjoy alcohol much much less since my kratom habit.
Yup
@@connorlowis4774 I also take kratom . If you feel you are taking to much. Idk what your doses are like but say 3 grams 5 times that’s 15 grams a day. A good way to week off and start taking less which worked great for me is to figure out about how much you are taking . Then measure out 1 gram less for each day or even .5 gram less each day. It’s so little your body or mind won’t notice the tiny change and before you know it you can get down to like 10 grams a day or whatever your goal might be . I was taking 30-40 grams a day at one point in my life. Anyway hope this helps bro .
You gotta learn to combat it by drinking milk it protects the lining. Could take any drug as long you combat it. Facts!!
That's cause alcohol turns to sugar whenni drink im up till 7am still drunk walking the dog sayin hi to the neighbors while lookin like a Muppet probably lmao
My ex boyfriend likely had this mutation- but he still was impaired enough to get two DUIs. He was able to drink from morning till night. He would get in his car and dodge work just to buy alcohol.
He was supposedly sober when we were together. He was obviously a cheater and we broke up after a couple of months. Still loved him. He died six months later. He picked the bottle back up, his dad died and obviously got into trouble. It’s a weird reality knowing I dated such a troubled person. He deserved a whole lot better.
Avoid alcohol whenever possible. It is genuinely dangerous and terrible poison. It is a huge contributing factor I lost someone I could’ve spent a lifetime with.
Have you made love in this state?

i like how everyone like “yea that was my drunk uncle” 😂😂😂
I have a friend like this, she would almost always get blackout drunk because no amount slowed her down. She was tiny too, and even big dudes were under the table. Half Irish half Salvadoran, probably didn't matter though. You could always tell when she slipped into blackout because she got super honest and less subtle. The crazier thing was she never seemed to get hangovers, she would always be the first up in the morning, making breakfast and leaving glasses of water with people out on the couches, she was really nice most of the time. Of course, I had to carry her out of several bars, and every time a bartender or door guy was like "yeah, we were just about to cut her off/throw her out" and I was like "nah, I know when she's done". She never really drank water either, just juice and beer and occasional soda.. When we finally convinced her to start drinking more water (mostly by finally showing her video of some of her blackouts in an intervention style setting), it sort of improved....but she also seemed like she drank alcohol faster until after a couple weeks, being hydrated all the time she started drinking less, started exercising and, well lets just say her work life and choices in men have improved dramatically haha it was quite a profound and inspiring change to witness. When I first met her I thought she was a total sociopath, because I didn't know her sober then and chronic blackout drunks tend to be a bit pathological, but then I realized she's just a depressed girl who can drink like a fish, luckily she had a lot of friends who were willing to sit her down hard but also support her
Damn that’s crazy that makes so much sense tho bc I’ve never blacked out in my life and always end up having to take care of the people that can’t even walk straight. But I can skate like I’m sober lmfao
Wanna come drinking with me then? 😂
@@Andrew-vy1rx hell yeah unless you’re a sloppy drunk type & I gotta take care of u, then I’m gucci lmao
In my 20s I was always challenging people to go shot for shot with me. I would always get frustrated when people would dip out because they started feeling crappy. I would know when to quit before blacking out and I never once got a hangover as long as I drank 2 huge glasses of water before bed. I would drink everybody under the table and then come back and help put everyone to bed.
I'm not saying it to brag. Just to highlight how lonely you can feel when you haven't found someone who can drink like this with you.
Turns out I had this gene.
I went to two weddings a week apart and both times I blacked out and woke with a hangover and vomit on my shirt. That was all I needed to quit drinking forever. 10 years sober. If I had the gene for alcoholism I would be fucked because feeling like shit is usually what motivates alcoholics to quit drinking.
That's literally me.
Alcohol is like the limitless pill for me.
My game and social skills improve by 100x.
I have the best anecdotes of my life being drunk.
When i asked for super powers i was hoping for something more like invisibility
Litterally one or two beers is enough to make me so energized and awake that I can’t sleep for 3-4 hours.
My family has this gene, it's weird af tbh. This mutation skipped me strangely. None of them have a problem with it seemingly but.. oh they do! When my whole family gets together with no outsider scrutiny. A 12 case of wine gets brought out on a holiday. My brother just got a vineyard now too lmao.
Basically, every drunk person in teen drama house party scenes.
I have serious social anxiety and brain errors, but when I drink, it all pretty much disappears. I drink about once a month. The rest of the time I don't see anyone or barely even leave the house. So people know me as the outgoing social extrovert who makes friends everywhere I go, but really I speak approximately once per month, drunk, and the rest of the time I hide in my house, barely capable of forming a sentence. Just today I had a plumber come in, and it took me about 30 words to say something simple, because I couldn't find the words. A really funny example of this was when a girl sent me a message that she wants to fuck. I thought she was joking so we met up, and then I found out she was serious. The only thing I managed to fuck was up. She never called me again. We talked and she said she had thought that I was a total fuckboy or something, when I am the absolute opposite. This whole thing made me realize what a duality I live in, and how nobody on planet earth knows who I am, not even my friends, really.
I understand you. When you drink, you can talk to anyone. Sober you would rather live under a rock. We are here for an important reason. One friend said it's liquid courage...... just don't abuse it. Makes sense to me. Stay strong, brother.

Then 6 drinks all in 10 minutes . At my house with some friends . then i woke up to my entire family in my bedroom looking furious . Then i woke up 7 hours later upstairs instead of downstairs . Apparently they woke me up I went to the bathroom pissed all over the floor and then tried to go back to bed . and someone showed me a video of me unconscious standing up and then falling into a wall
This explains alot. Thank you. ❤
Well I have never stretched this idea, but I do get energized when I drink. I cut myself off before too long but I get absolutely pumped lol.
I dated that guy, he was from Belarus. He would go and go all night Saturday, then trying to wake me up on Sunday Morning at 8am, jumping out of bed, saying crazy things like, Let's go hiking. Yeah the relationship didn't last it wasn't the alchohol it was the hiking.
You missed the jackpot.
Loool
Ah yes Hike on Sunday, the craziest thing
I actually have this as a medical diagnosis. I don't drink because I can get alcohol poisoning without knowing I've drunk too much.
What is the name of the condition
@@leonarduxis12 alcohol intolerance. The taste of the alcohol itself causes dopamine release rather than the ingestion of it.
@@Roma-rusk ohh, ok I appreciate man 🙏
@@leonarduxis12 no problem! Thanks also for asking!
Thats abit pathetic. In Scandinavia its very common. Amd its not dangerous to black out or pass out.... just sleep it out
This was me, but all I had to add was an 8 ball to the mix! 😂😂
Happy to hear something like this, it is self-destructive behaviour but when I drink I feel so much smarter and truer to myself... I often feel like that is who I am meant to be, and it's really weird when I'm sober
That’s What I’m saying and That’s Scary btw I have ADHD
Same. Drinking = no social anxiety
I feel much more aware and clear headed, I am much quicker to respond and am able to articulate myself much better. But when I am sober, I forget a lot. I have a hard time trying to say what I’m trying to say. Very mentally clouded. I wish it were not so. It sucks. It really sucks.
Guys... this is Why most people drink. Your just stating the positive social effects, lack of overthinking in yourself when tipsy. This is the common effect, reason its a “social lubricant”.
You may feel like yourself but you're not you just got to get rid of the stress and different way
This explains my husband so much. I'm definitely not this 8%. But when we used to drink a lot he would be downing cases and fifths and be more and more energetic and happy. I'd black out and he'd be more present than when he's sober and have no memory problems after. Opioids effect him differently as well. He's done trough and peak tests and apparently his liver kicks out most of the drug so when he used to be on those medications he would have to take what the doctors called a "lethal dose" for it to even touch his pain. His body is crazy.
Wowww, I almost wonder if this could be my husband, but idk, cuz he quit drinking after the Army. Addiction runs in his family. He took all of his pain meds for his tonsillectomy pretty quickly
@@thefryinator7774 it's amazing what the human body can do. And for the 8%, like our husbands seem to be in... their bodies are even crazier! 🤣. He was drinking by himself at a small beach that isn't very well known. A cop noticed he was there and they got to chatting. My husband continued to drink his 12 pack as they talked. It was obvious that he was alone and had driven himself to the little beach so when the beer was gone and he was ready to head home (about a 3 mile distance) the cop didn't want him to drive (obviously). He did a sobriety test and my husband passed with flying colors. 😂. He had just drank a 12 pack in less than an hour! And he always drank Space Dust which is an IPA with pretty high alcohol content as far as beer goes. But anyway, the cop was amazed and let him drive home. But followed behind him the whole way just in case.
My husband stopped drinking as well. He knows if he were to take one sip of beer or liquor he'd be drinking non stop like he used to. So because of that I stopped drinking, too. I have a couple shots of whiskey hidden but it's been hidden for over 5 years now. I think it's time for me to just throw it out. Hahaha! Here is to both our husband's kicking the habit! 🥂
Bro the physical toll remains the same lol you will still just die to opioids.
I'm 16 and this just processed for me people have tried to get me drunk at parties and stuff girls have tried to get me drunk before but they end up drunk before i am holy shit
@@wraithlaceration625 I definitely recommend not testing how much it actually takes to get drunk. There are people like my husband that just drink and drink and drink without much happening (like I previously described) and there are others that will drink a ton and feel little to no effects for a long period of time so they drink more, trying to at least catch a buzz, but then their body seems to somehow take all the consumed alcohol at once and the person ends up in the hospital, possibly dead.
Oh, and of course. Don't drink because you're underage. Blah blah blah. Lol. Nobody should drink, over 21 years old or not. It's just a dumb thing to do. I was stupid for a few years and drank, but it is much better being sober. Hopefully you'll agree at some point! Wishing you a long life full of happiness, love and life lessons taught with minimal hardships.
And that's why I stopped drinking over 4 years ago.
Same here. Went to a Halloween part Oct 2017 and looked around at all the drunk people and said I don't want to do this anymore. Haven't drank since. 20+ year daily/weekly drinker. Life is so much better I cry thinking about the time wasted.
@@noname-yb5jt how long was it? I drink heavily on weekends
@@noname-yb5jt I know a lot of people come to that realisation when they start aging, but if you have the right vision(?) you'll realise, regardless of age, that there's nothing yo be gained from sitting in a room full of drunks.
It is quite sad to see the way drinking culture has degenerated, in Scotland anyway - you don't sit down at a meal with a drink, or have a few pints with some pals over a game of football anymore, instead you all get together in a room, get hammered, and do nothing really
I have been analyzed for this and he is 100% correct. I’ve drank 3 bottles of jack, had wine, beers, seltzers, etc, and I’ve never had a DUI, ticket, DIP, or ever blacked out. I’ve had people not want to drink with me anymore because I just keep going for hours. I admit I’m a bit of an alcoholic but, when I drink in large quantities I don’t slur my words, I don’t stumble, and I seem sober. It’s weird really. The biggest anomaly is being able to play CoD, or other video games, or preform my job/daily tasks more efficiently as well as socialize effectively while extremely intoxicated. I’ve worked for about 13 years now and I’ve been intoxicated for almost every shift, own two businesses, a house, and maintain a stable relationship and no one knows the difference besides my partner or friends.
This guy is so fascinating to listen to cause he says stuff like this! Love his passion for science
There’s also the opposite, there’s literally people who’s bodies work like a brewery, to the point that if they eat certain foods their body can “brew” it into alcohol to a point that they die from alcohol poisoning. Saw a video recently of a woman who was pulled over and found to be 33x the legal drink drive limit, but she appeared pretty much sober because her body had been brewing alcohol since she was a kid so she was almost immune to the effects.
😮😮😮😮 no way . Omg 😱
Liar
Its not their bodys but a defect flora of their intestine. Look up "auto brewery syndrome"
@@killjoy5535 look it up
Wtf
To those people that can’t get drunk
No matter how much they have been drinking. Good for You.
I have been sober for 7 months now. Alcohol made me feel so wonderful, it was insane. My buddies would drink 8 or so, and be ready for bed. I would go through a 30 pack in one day pretty easily, sometimes more. It would work like caffeine for me. I'd start drinking at 3pm, and sometimes drink until 7am. I would get to a point where I couldn't get drunk, but all of life felt good. I still miss it, and I think just being that "high" messes with you psychologically. I always feel like I'm missing something. However my relationships with family has improved drastically. I feel like a better son, father, friend, etc. My work is a lot better. My depression is nonexistent, and the sleep is so much better. Really wish I would have never touched alcohol. Even 1 drink is literal poison.
I feel like it’s me every time! I keep improving as long as I’m drinking, once I stop, reality hits me hard 😅
I'm sorry. I'm praying 🙏.
They don't "feel great", they just become more addicted.
Yeah that might be true. Not drinking to feel better than normal. Drinking to FEEL normal rather than shitty...
nah bro i have the mutation. you do feel fantastic.. way better than baseline.. like you won the lotto
Yeah this Andrew guy is a known clown
Not true. Have the mutation, only drank once, sometimes twice a week, never got addicted. Horrendous hangovers, though. Quit easily 5 yrs ago.
They get addicted because they feel great. Not sure the point you're making
Should start calling andrew the
‘Dopamine Guy’
I get sick after 3 beers😂
Wait until the DUI attorney sees this.
I can drink forever, it just make me more open. I don't think differently or crazy, don't become violent. Just starts to talk more and be happier. But I don't like the hangovers with so little benefit so I never drink.
I always wondered why I don’t really get drunk. When I drink I’m a completely different person. Way happier and energetic. That’s also why I don’t drink much. Too easy for me to just abuse it.
That’s me✋🏽 hahahaha
I have that mutation it makes me feel way happier and I could just keep going like you said, but this could also be a curse. I’ve got alcohol poisoning a few times.
a few?! bruh
Met a man like this, one of the happiest people I've ever met, he was rip roaring and ready to go, I needed caffeine in the morning, he cracked a cold one and just drank all day, tossing me beers and I was getting drunk while he just seemed stone cold sober
he could have been in the manic state of bipolar -?
@@Maureen_Schilder not sure, only ever saw him 2 or 3 times
Oh man, as soon as “Burke krúsier” gets ahold of this info…😂😂
Just walking to the damm store gets me all excited..
I’m in the 8% and he is EXACTLY accurate. It’s crazy and made me feel different than everyone when out drinking at dinner or parties. I don’t drink because of this. No one gets it.
I get it. My husband tried to get me drunk on my 21st, I had quite a bit on an empty stomach and still only blew a .03. He was a substance abuse counselor at the time and had a breathalyzer that we used. So after that I decided not to drink. Then my sister got married thus year. Her husband is Co owner of a night club so they got lots of alcohol sponsored and had a free open bar. They also highered a hummer stretch limo so no one was driving and we had a babysitter for the kids. Anyway, again I had quite a bit to drink and never once got tipsy or had a hangover. So again I just don't drink.
only really drank once and when i did all i wanted to do was help everyone and be there for them
I get lovey when i get drunk too
Alcohol does bring out the hidden self in us
Cool story
@@Vercingetorix_Celt Cool reply
I def know a few of these people, makes a lot of sense now.
Yeah, immediately thought of this one friend who can drink all day/night long--still work and function and is a blast to talk to. No one else can keep up with her tho!
It's also interesting that countries where you eat more while drinking, does not have as much alcohol related violence. In Finland there's never food around and we fight alot because of the low bloodsugar levels
I’m this type of drunk uncle on the weekends
Frank the tank
What I do when I'm blacked out drunk, is none of my damn business!
I think most of my family is in the 8%. So I think that's why cirrhosis has killed several of them. It's why I figured I'd better not ever drink.
Good job bro fr
Thats a very intelligent observation from you. Most people dont even think about how genetics affect their health and then take precautions .
I think it's the right choice.
Wow you i bet you're the most boring person hahahaha
Cannabis is much safer, but the matches or lighter can be dangerous.
That’s my sister. She will never admit she is an alcoholic.
That's me.
I drink and transform...
I improve but I stopped drinking but I always knew when to stop and switch to water so no hangovers in the morning and hit the gym to recover.
Ok 92
Wow you just explained normal drinking. 92
If you are what he is describing, you wouldn't know when to stop because you would never feel like you were drunk. Only reason I knew when I'd be drunk is when someone would finally ask me why I'm so loud.
I drink all night and every day I go to the gym every day no days off and never have hangover 😂😅
That’s me basically. I just start feeling great. Until the spins hit. But that’s deep into a drinking night after a ton of drinks
You’re a winner.
@@mickeywicked478 I actually don’t drink anymore tbh. I stopped drinking a long time ago.
@@shor-tgamingandstuff6241 ah, so you were just re-living your degeneracy? Isn’t that counterintuitive? I mean, you quit for a reason, no? I’m not trying to spark a dialogue but I’m also not gonna sit here and mock you. Quitting drinking is quite commendable. I respect you.
@@mickeywicked478 a buddy of mine had a seizure and died the morning after we drank together then another friend died in a car crash from drinking possibly so those reasons and my daughter were enough to stop.
@@shor-tgamingandstuff6241 whatever the reasons, you knocked off the crap. Good for you and your daughter.
That 8% are the ones that discovered cocaine mixes well with alcohol
👌😂
Yeah let’s get drunk and buy drugs to not be drunk anymore and keep drinking makes sense
@@Sim-po1mc hey man judge when you've experienced it😂
@@Sim-po1mc ure not „not drunk“ when on cocaine, ure just drunk without the negative side effects 😂
I was that 8% before I turned 18- now I’m 22 and can’t drink liquor 😂
Me to a T
Yeah, started drinking at aged 20 in 2020, got 3 duis from then till 4/2022. Spent prison time and now live in a recovery house 🫠
Alcohol made me feel normal lol. It made everything fun and I feel like it made my motor and emotional functions click on all cylinders. Hell, doing laundry was fun.
But it is what it is. It also made me psychopathic. At least, more than I am on a day to day basis. I would intimidate people in public when I drove, either by staring at them or just being aggressive. One time I had a sword that I carried in my passenger seat for a while. And at a red light I looked over to the family next to me and pulled it out, slowly sliced my tongue, and smiled. Then the light turned green and I sped off. All while blasting music. So yeah, alcohol ain’t for me anymore lol
that's how I feel at about 5 shots, after that I don't know what happens but I wake up somewhere else.
You are the .008% that has the teleportation mutation .
@@adio.7226 😂
I've noticed this myself. I've always made the observation that a certain friend of mine could drink way past the point that other people would have passed out. In that state, he was in a whole other dimension. This eventually resulted in negative, life-altering consequences for him.
I do occasional drinking of liquor only and no beer at all. I've done all sorts of liquor and I have found that I just don't get mad or freak out no matter the situations or conversations. I just have a good time and really enjoy it. Like I get in touch with my soul, all other people I know act like a freakshow and I've never understood it. Interesting to see this video
i have the exact same experience :D
Same here, I always seem to keep a clear enough head. At most, my thoughts are really loud but I notice when I slur my words, which reminds me to slow down.
I tried telling my boss this, she did not care nor listen.
And?
im that 8% but I do not drink love to feel reality
Cap
There is no reality
Good for you (no sarcasm)
If you're that 8% then you still feel reality when drunk.
Ok 92
