I need to get drunk - what's a nice, easy drink to have that will help me get drunk fast

I know I probably should immature saying I need to get drunk. I do have a mature relationship with alcohol and I have limited amounts of alcohol. I'm going through a tough patch and I need to do this. I just need to go and get drunk.

When I was younger I used to mix drinks on a night out. I would drink pinks followed by shots and other easy drinks alcopops followed by some hardcore stuff like tequila slammers and or aftershock. Sambuca appeared in my nights out too when I was younger. The best drink ever to have me on the floor or on a table was the snakebite drinks.

I'm not able to drink like that anymore. I have safe drinks like vodka and cranberry juice and I know my limit and I drink water in between drinks. My current drinks of choice is a peach schnapps with cranberry juice and I also like fat frogs too.

I am going through a bad patch and I need to get drunk. I can't get drunk on my safe drinks.

Can anyone recommend drinks that are easy and tasty to drink and something that will help me get drunk.

Thanks

What a ridiculous thread.

And if you really do have a mature relationship with alcohol and have 'limited amounts', of course you'd be able to get drunk on your 'safe' drinks.

Tomorrow on mumsnet:

how can I wipe my bum?

My shoelace has come undone, what do you advise?

I can't see where I'm going, should I open my eyes?

Any alcohol in sufficient quantities will get you drunk.

However the tone of your post makes me agree with others that you'll probably end up feeling worse. Do you want to talk about it? This isn't AIBU so even if your tough time is of your own making there's less chance of people being a dick to you.

Though to answer your question. Wine. My go to would be red but i think white would work better for you. Agree with the wine & soda comment earlier.

Interested in this thread?

Wrote that post before i saw the two ahead of me.

Ffs read the room. Why when someone is clearly struggling do people feel the need to be twats?

I don't think someone who claims they need help because they can't get drunk on vodka is seriously seeking real advice, do you?

@SummersBreeze
I hope you decide not to get rat arsed.
it won’t solve anything, and you will likely end up feeling worse. ( You’ll know this)
If you aren’t getting pissed on your normal amount, it shows a tolerance-
Booze is an addictive substance after all.

What a strange and pointless plan, as an adult.

Actually there is a sensible way. White wine spritzer or white wine and lemonade. The carbon dioxide allows the alcohol to enter your bloodstream more quickly so you feel drunk faster and you stop drinking so you’ve actually had less to drink

I never knew this ! I always feel really tipsy after my white wine spritzers now I know why !

Threebutterflies · 08/05/2022 14:41

just avoid mixing to many different alcohols that’s all I can say. Will get your drunk but sick as a dog 🤮
when I want a drink to let off steam I stick to the same one or two. White wine spritzers and shots for me

Treesandsheepeverywhere · 08/05/2022 14:44

No drink suggestions but hope you're feeling better today OP.

Can I just say that I’m going through a bad patch, I just wanted to feel the burn of whisky in my mouth. But it didn’t make me feel any better. Because it’s not the answer. There is no answer.

I don't think someone who claims they need help because they can't get drunk on vodka is seriously seeking real advice, do you?

But what if what they really need is someone to talk to? I wouldn't want to be the one that makes things worse for someone having a hard time, but you do you.
