How many of you guys drink alcohol?

Its completely personal preference.  I used to use alcohol as a way to escape any social anxiety or any negative feelings about self.  First two years I was in a fraternity in college and would get legitimately drunk every time I partied.  It freed me socially (not sexually lol) and everyone else was doing it so of course it is normal (lol) .   The first time I did MW training I stopped drinking entirely because I was still using to get away from anxiety, and I pulled a good bit.  For me, one or two drinks is cool just to be social, but ultimately I do not need it AT ALL.  And if I am using it for something, that is the sign that I need to process something emotionally.   But also, If I truly want to get drunk because that is what the moment is calling for than that is what I wil l do.   But in general, you are OF COURSE much more on your game with no alcohol, or one or two drinks.  That way you are emotionally present to yourself as well as others (a reflection of yourself lol)

Yes, I drink and I enjoy drinking. Mostly scotch and craft beer. I don't get insanely drunk and rarely get black out with very few exceptions (my buddy found out his gf was pregnant the other week so we got wasted for example).

It's really just up to you. Everyone in the community gets really obsessed with stupid superstitions like cold showers, green smoothies, no fap, no drinking, no weed, etc. All of these problems tend to auto-correct themselves once you're comfortable with who you truly are and what you believe in.

You titled this "How many of you drink alcohol" then you proceed to talk about blacking out. They are two very different things lol. If you're looking to pick up girls 0-3 drinks works. Anything other than that and you're getting into BOMB territory, which is ok if that's what you're there to do with your buds. But it sounds like you black out which is not good. Some people aren't meant to survive evolution. Look into that 

The last few nights out I've been drinking a lot! 

I've been almost using it to get into a more wild, carefree and confident state. 

Part of the night I'm really strong and get very solid interactions but eventually I start to come accross a little uncalibrated and a little bit drunk. Sometimes I'll just come in too strong and girls will get a bit intimidated and will pull away.

So I'm going back to 2-3 drinks, as MW mentioned. It's the best of both worlds in my opinion. It's awesome for logistics and great saving money and being able to drive.

Plus if I pull a girl back then I can crank open a little more alcohol if I feel like it. 

But definteily, you get way better at game when you're going out and not drinking a lot. 

If you feel awkward gaming without drinking, and I mean literally not having a beer in your hand, then stick to a few drinks and just don't put em back too quickly so you stay fairly sober. The drunk bastards around you won't know how many drinks you've had, and you can still let your goofy side out cuz your "drinking". Don't create social barriers if you don't have to.

it sounds immature but its pretty true, most people just want to have some sort of drink in their hand to really let loose, especially in highschool :P

The force is strong with you meow. I predict you are going to make quite a weapon of yourself 

Lol true dat Meow.  I notice this in myself, STILL.  Its hilarious.  "Oh my god I feel so uncomfortable with nothing in my hands, what do I do!!" LOL

If it bothers people that much order a water with a lime so it could be a gin and tonic, vodka sprite, etc. But honestly most people don't care.

I thoroughly enjoy drinking. I've done sober challenges in my early days back when I was 19, and that's chill too. Some nights I get tanked, other nights I just enjoy a buzz, and other nights I black out. Usually don't pull when I black out. A lot depends on what's going on. I have a heavy tolerance so I usually find my happy medium where I have zero social inhibitions and I'm still able to maintain clarity is around 6-7 standard drinks over the course of 2 hours or so. Depends could be more, could be less -- depends on if I've been drinking a lot recently, if I got fucked up the night before, etc. Puts me at a good buzz but I'm obviously not shithoused. All my homies who I kick it with we drink... and we drink a lot. I was going to do a sober challenge, and I eventually will again but it'll have to wait for a while. Everyone drinks when they're out though so be prepared to get shit for not drinking. Simple answers though are "I'm DD". That usually shuts people up real quick because someone will create a social violation if they give you shit for that. You don't have to not drink bro, just pace yourself for the marathon so you aren't fucking tanked.

People are really ripping on alcohol here but a lot of naturals I know tend to drink a lot. My tolerance for alcohol is such that no matter how many drinks a girl has with me I'm always pretty coherent. My two cents is that while you might not be 100% you should still be able to function and beast. I've pulled hotties while being drunk. But then again I've also NEVER blacked out no matter how fucked up I've gotten, and some people have a tendency to black out. If that's you then everyone is probably right.

is just know your limit. One or two drinks an hour is all anyone really needs to hit that comfort zone. Game with no booze before that though and go over your P's and Q's. Too many guys just get totally fucked up and strike out, and then end up tipping the cute girl behind the bar way too much for a couple minutes of their attention. Real quick tip if your gaming at a bar with a jukebox: move the girl to the jukebox and play some songs together. There's all sorts of things you can learn about calibration in the gleam of that light.

I'm king of getting too drunk and shooting myself in the foot..err balls.  At the same time some of the best nights of my life were where I was able to drink enough to totally let loose, yet still maintain awareness and verbal abilities.
