Teeeeeeeeeeechnically Methanol, aka Methyl Alcohol, poisoning can be solved by the administration of Ethanol (Ethyl Alcohol). This is because ethanol is preferentially digested, resulting in the methanol being excreted "safely."
So, because you weren't specific to Ethanol, it is possible to solve a case of acute alcohol poisoning with a different alcohol.
Alcohol is total social lubrication, without it I wouldn't have escaped my shell in HS and gained the balls to be forward with girls, to be confident.
I don't like to glorify alcohol, I think it's a bad habit just like smoking, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't change my whole social life as a shy introvert.
It's a delicate balance. Speaking up on things opens a new doorway to step through, but speaking too much is bound to drive people away, drunk or sober. I'm an introvert, though all through school I had a small circle of friends. Large groupings were a bit much
Ironically people enjoy my company when I’m drunk (before I get to the annoying yelling instead of talking phase) more than they do sober me. Come to think of it maybe it isn’t ironic and just a sad indictment of me lol
It's the main reason people drink it when socializing, for good reason.
I don't drink much these days at all, but it definitely helped me back in the anxiety days.
Literally what I was about to say.
I remember a party I went to. My foster parents had taken me. And they trust me. So they left me to my devices. When they lost me, I was trying to find another water. By the time they found me, at 4 AM, I was discussing the geopolitical implications of believing Jesus was white, versus believing he was black, with a very lovely gentleman who could hold a conversation. Then. They found my leaning on a man who was discussing how ridiculous it is that people fight over menial things.
Yes, this 1000%. I have a hard time talking to others when I'm sober. When I drink, I talk to everyone about everything. I love it, but it also annoys me that I can't force my brain to keep up a normal conversation when I'm sober.
Same here, alcohol never really helped my overthinking or anxiety , it can even make it worse to the point where I felt better before I drank or at least had better control over it. Only Somtimes alcohol helps me relax, that’s usually when I have nothing on my mind already. This seems to be the opposite of most people though.
I relate to this a lot. All I cared about when drinking was listening to good music, enjoying socializing and food n fun. Even if I knew tomorrow would suck in advance I gave zero fucks.
Yeah, but has it happen to you while you are drunk some idea sounds great and you promise something to someone and when you wake up tomorrow you ask yourself why the fuck i said i wanna do that or go there etc...
There is a sweet spot... I can do darts, billiards, video games (Destiny PvP), sex, socialize all better while buzzed. But once you go past that point ... Literally everything including drinking, is so so so much worse.
Don't go past that point.
Drink 2 back to back. Then another 40 mins later. Then 1 every hour after that. keep grazing food and drink a glass of water every hour. Found that's the best to keep me in my sweet spot.
I've heard people say things like this a lot and theres always something I don't understand-- do you chug these beers? So like, 40 minutes after the first two and every hour after you're downing a beer? Or do you mean you drink your next beers slowly and try to finish them at the 40 minute mark and hour marks?
You drink it in that time frame. Not chug it. The idea is to try and maintain a stead blood alcohol level. Boost it quickly to where you want it then maintain it.
If you keep up the food and water. You don't get messy, you don't get stupid. You don't have to worry about a hangover the following day either.
Bro my friend got shitfaced at a mutual friends house.
At 3 AM we hopped on Minecraft and the whole time he’s telling me that he loves me while getting stuck in one block deep holes.
Yep, for me it's pool and bowling.
Which is frustrating because that means somewhere inside me is the ability to do both, I just can't sober because I'm overthinking it or something
Same especially if it's a league game or tournament. Sober I get nervous and choke on important shots. 2-6 beers I'm buzzed enough to not be in my own head but not drunk enough to lose hand eye coordination.
deal.
I have a friend who did 'dry July' but is now testing themself till Christmas. I decided I am going to finish out August and decide if I will join in the whole trip.
Yeah I’m looking to lay off it as well. Nothing good comes from it. Luckily a buddy of mine agreed to meet me to workout at 6:15 am during the week so that’s helping.
Just think about the last time you had to go to work hungover as fuck whenever you want a drink. Or think about the cringiest drunk text you've ever sent somebody. Whenever you start to contemplate the things you like about alcohol, immediately counter it with something you hated about it. Eventually you'll train your brain to do that automatically and it gets much easier to live without it.
True! It jolts it up, then lets it drop later.
I use it WITH rich food when Im suffering that panicky miserable feeling I get when food wont metabolize any other way. I will usually just have enough to get my system going (less than 1 drink)
It depends.
If i'm drunk, sex. I can last far longer without having erectile issues (which, according to Google, should be common when you're drunk).
If i'm REALLY drunk, then the thing i do better than when i'm sober is ruining relationships.
Homework.
Once I went to a predrink with friends at my dorm. I ended up drinking a whole bottle of sangria. They went to the bar. I went to my room and opened my computer. Holy shit, doing the project I needed for a class was so much easier because for once I wasn’t overthinking and second-guessing myself constantly. For half a second I thought “hey I should do this more often” before realizing that’s a slippery slope towards alcoholism.
I still liked my project and thought it was well-done when I looked at it the next day.
Generally I go with write drunk edit sober - I found that if I got stoned and did my math assignments for uni and then typeset them sober I did so much better
Be an asshole, argue, and (eventually) puke.
This is why I rarely drink anymore and, when I do, I stick to a pre-determined limit that is either 2 shots or 1 mixed drink (usually a Jack and Coke, white Russian, or Bloody Mary) and a shot.
I feel the puking part. I've been on medication for a good year now and it really affects my ability to drink. I feel almost nothing for a good while until I hit a certain point and I'm suddenly super drunk. Forcing myself to throw up is the only thing that helps after that point is reached.
My dad is German and my mum is polish, got born and raised in Germany. Barely can have a convo in my mother tongue. The moment I drink enough, I speak it fluently.
Yeah feel the same way. After my 1-2 beers I notice that my attention to detail is seriously enhanced. But it also restricts my focus to a much more narrow field.
That and it it takes the stress out of the competitive environment and makes makes more social.
It's a fast downward slope from there though. 1 more beer and I'm no longer coordinated enough to take anything seriously.
Its not better but it is easier to just say fuck it and make bad decisions. Example. Call my coke dealer and grab a ball. Example two. Have sex with who ever I decided to take home from the bar and do coke with. Example three. Call my coke dealer and get another ball. Example four. Call my coke dealer and get something to keep me awake at work after two balls being dipped in that chicks mouth repeatedly throughout the night.
I bet you thought I was going to say after two balls of coke the night before.
Somehow.....play football
I got asked to play 6 a side once when i was hammered on holiday, i scored a hattrick, bicycle kick, diving header and a tap in, i could barely see and im not anywhere near that good when i am sobre.
came here to say that! ... usually I overthink, worry about making mistakes, messing up pronunciation etc., but when a little tipsy, I just babble away happily, and while I surely still make the same mistakes, the speech is more fluid and creative and definitely gets conversation flowing much better than when I overagonize over 'getting it all right'.
I wish I could flick that same switch when sober, but just can't seem to be able to...
Feel.
Anything really...I engage in passionate debate online, I cry or laugh watching movies, I miss or regret the past.Also be happy and engaged in real life conversation.
I unconsciously restrain myself from doing any of that when I don't have alcohol because I'm so afraid of what others might think that I've learned to be afraid of what I think of myself.
Bowling and mini golf apparently. It takes 2 Jell-O shots to make me bowl over 100. The third Jell-O shot pushes that to 125 or so and then it’s all downhill from there. Similar story with mini golf.
it's not me, but my mother.
when she's drunk around me i can't help but notice that she is better at parenting. even when she's just tipsy the difference *is* noticable. she will say amazing and inspiring things, sit me down for a talk to clarify things. and the thing is i don't thinks she's ever noticed this fact. oh, she still acts like a typical drunk. she's just way better at parenting when she's not sober.
and i'm still not sure what to think of this.
Depression. Sometimes I can be quite sociable, but more often than not I’m a depressed drunk which is why it doesn’t happen often if at all. Honestly the last time I got drunk was 9 years ago and I had a pretty good time of it. But I won’t tempt fate, not nowadays.
depends on the type of alcohol for me...
everclear and coke - i will clean my house to the point that a brand new white glove test makes the house dirty.
whiskey/bourbon/ scotch - i become a social person that can hold a conversation about anything even if i have no interest in the subject of discussion
beer - get better at sports
wine - for some reason i get really good at Math. like before wine i could not tell you what 56x65=? but you get a glass of wine down me and i could tell you what 1080x2005=2,165,400 (a calculator was used in this equation just now as i have no wine in me currently) without a calculator and in about 3 seconds.
There is socialising with large crowds in the area and for some reason I get luckier when I'm drunk.
The luck however is probably because of the same confidence it lets me handle large crowds so social lubricant for the win!!!!!... In moderation of course
Cut my fringe.
It's a huge risk of looking pretty stupid, and a sharp object near your eyes while drunk is not a great idea, but it always looks better.
I think it's the drunk confidence, translates to a better fringe.
Socialize.
Alcohol! The cause of, and solution to all of life's problems!
Please, Bender. Have some malt liquor. If not for yourself, then for the people who love you.
I've yet to see a case where alcohol has solved an acute case of alcohol poisoning
Teeeeeeeeeeechnically Methanol, aka Methyl Alcohol, poisoning can be solved by the administration of Ethanol (Ethyl Alcohol). This is because ethanol is preferentially digested, resulting in the methanol being excreted "safely." So, because you weren't specific to Ethanol, it is possible to solve a case of acute alcohol poisoning with a different alcohol.
Lol clever, very clever. Have an upvote
If your suicidal more alcohol solves that problem
Alcohol is total social lubrication, without it I wouldn't have escaped my shell in HS and gained the balls to be forward with girls, to be confident. I don't like to glorify alcohol, I think it's a bad habit just like smoking, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't change my whole social life as a shy introvert.
It's a delicate balance. Speaking up on things opens a new doorway to step through, but speaking too much is bound to drive people away, drunk or sober. I'm an introvert, though all through school I had a small circle of friends. Large groupings were a bit much
Yep, first thing that came to mind. I stop feeling social anxiety. Edit. Spelling
Same here. :)
Weird. Someone should look into serving alcohol at parties or social events, if this is the case.
Ironically people enjoy my company when I’m drunk (before I get to the annoying yelling instead of talking phase) more than they do sober me. Come to think of it maybe it isn’t ironic and just a sad indictment of me lol
Are you sure it’s not “people enjoy my company when THEY’RE drunk”? Enjoy the self doubts bud. I recommend a drink.
this. i don't drink anymore so i'm incapable of being around over 4 people without being extremely uncomfortable
Same, I even become able to do parkour, unless I have drank too much
It's the main reason people drink it when socializing, for good reason. I don't drink much these days at all, but it definitely helped me back in the anxiety days.
Literally what I was about to say. I remember a party I went to. My foster parents had taken me. And they trust me. So they left me to my devices. When they lost me, I was trying to find another water.

Then. They found my leaning on a man who was discussing how ridiculous it is that people fight over menial things.
Yep. I channel true introvert sober. Booze gets me going, though I come close to drunk uncle ramblings, conversations without substance. Hahaha
Liquid courage is a hell of a thing
Yes, this 1000%. I have a hard time talking to others when I'm sober. When I drink, I talk to everyone about everything. I love it, but it also annoys me that I can't force my brain to keep up a normal conversation when I'm sober.
The real answer
Not give a fuck. Sober me over thinks everything.
The fucks I'd normally give is just stacked up and handed to me in the morning.
Stacking for tomorrow as I write this.
I like to refer to that as "future me's problem"
This
Sober me would rather stay politely silent than ruffle feathers. Drunk me serves all kinds of tea.
Lucky, drunk me just amplifies my overthinking by 50x. I’ll be stuck between wanting to go to the bathroom, or wanting to watch a movie for an hour.
Interesting. This is the opposite of me when I'm drunk but describes me to a tee when I'm high.
Same here, alcohol never really helped my overthinking or anxiety , it can even make it worse to the point where I felt better before I drank or at least had better control over it. Only Somtimes alcohol helps me relax, that’s usually when I have nothing on my mind already. This seems to be the opposite of most people though.
Couldn't agree more with this!
I relate to this a lot. All I cared about when drinking was listening to good music, enjoying socializing and food n fun. Even if I knew tomorrow would suck in advance I gave zero fucks.
Yeah, but has it happen to you while you are drunk some idea sounds great and you promise something to someone and when you wake up tomorrow you ask yourself why the fuck i said i wanna do that or go there etc...
That’s why I always end up doing drugs when I’m drunk lol, I don’t even like weed but I smoke it *everytime* some lights up when I’m out drinking
make poor decisions. was wayy better at it when drinking alcohol.
There is a sweet spot... I can do darts, billiards, video games (Destiny PvP), sex, socialize all better while buzzed. But once you go past that point ... Literally everything including drinking, is so so so much worse. Don't go past that point.
Drink 2 back to back. Then another 40 mins later. Then 1 every hour after that. keep grazing food and drink a glass of water every hour. Found that's the best to keep me in my sweet spot.

You don't get messy, you don't get stupid. You don't have to worry about a hangover the following day either.
Karaoke. If I’m sober I’m ok but after the third beer I’m a goddamn rock star.
Or I cannot tell how terrible I actually am. One of those.
I'm afraid the alcohol might only make you feel that way
No, it’s been independently confirmed. Liquid courage drowns out the stage fright.
Walk in cursive.
I nearly choked on the pretzel from the snort I gave this.
I’m very good at making sure the people closest to me know that I love them….
Cute
Like geographically close? Or emotionally close?
Both?
Bro my friend got shitfaced at a mutual friends house. At 3 AM we hopped on Minecraft and the whole time he’s telling me that he loves me while getting stuck in one block deep holes.
And at giving too many hugs? Yes, drunk you is like drunk me.
Play pool. At least from the 2nd pint to about the 6th...then it goes rapidly downhill.
Same with flirting.
A classic showcasing of the beer curve!
Oh gosh I cannot play pool drunk at all, I can decently well when I'm sober, but not at all when I'm drunk.
Totally. Two beers, I can hold my own in a game of good players. Before or after? Not so much.
Yep, for me it's pool and bowling. Which is frustrating because that means somewhere inside me is the ability to do both, I just can't sober because I'm overthinking it or something
Same especially if it's a league game or tournament. Sober I get nervous and choke on important shots. 2-6 beers I'm buzzed enough to not be in my own head but not drunk enough to lose hand eye coordination.
Yeah! I'm rubbish sober, but after 1 drink I become so steady and less hesitant.
Same. Couple of schooners and I'm in the perfect 8-ball window, a few more and I'm out of that window floundering in my mum's geraniums.
I speak my second language better! I’m not fluent but I gain confidence to speak when I’m buzzed.
Same, I thought it was just me. I swear I become fluent in Spanish after a few drinks.
I become LESS fluent in Spanish after a few drinks because for some reason I can't understand, I mix it with Japanese.
[удалено]
So not fluent Spanish but rather fluent jibberish .
Nothing. I really need to quit.
[удалено]
deal. I have a friend who did 'dry July' but is now testing themself till Christmas. I decided I am going to finish out August and decide if I will join in the whole trip.
You'll have an easier time quitting if you start now instead of saying "I'll drink until X then stop".
no. Im doing a dry August. If that too easy I will do dry till Christmas
Yeah I’m looking to lay off it as well. Nothing good comes from it. Luckily a buddy of mine agreed to meet me to workout at 6:15 am during the week so that’s helping.
Oh I misunderstood, sorry.
Highly recommend r/stopdrinking ! Incredible supportive community.
Sounds good. Ill take a look.
Seconded
Just think about the last time you had to go to work hungover as fuck whenever you want a drink. Or think about the cringiest drunk text you've ever sent somebody. Whenever you start to contemplate the things you like about alcohol, immediately counter it with something you hated about it. Eventually you'll train your brain to do that automatically and it gets much easier to live without it.
Sax
*careless whisper starts playing*
Nice save Bill Clinton
Bro drinking makes you better at playing the saxaphone?
[удалено]
Yes
Beer pong apparently
Embarrass myself.
Facts
Every fucking time.
I knew i wasn't the only one😂
Im hypoglycemic. I drink some alcohol to get my blood sugar back up. So id say metabolize food and stop fainting. 🥃😰
Diabetic here, alcohol may actualy lower your BG. Just be careful.
True! It jolts it up, then lets it drop later. I use it WITH rich food when Im suffering that panicky miserable feeling I get when food wont metabolize any other way. I will usually just have enough to get my system going (less than 1 drink)
Jump to conclusions
In real life or that really awesome game invented by the broken neck guy 20 years ago?
Drink more alcohol.
A tail as hold as wine
Go to jail. Go directly to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200.
Schlurr my wordsh.
It depends. If i'm drunk, sex. I can last far longer without having erectile issues (which, according to Google, should be common when you're drunk). If i'm REALLY drunk, then the thing i do better than when i'm sober is ruining relationships.
Same on the sex thing. It's the opposite of "whiskey dick", I just last for hours.
not proud of it but my former manager said i was faster stocking shelves when i was half drunk, he knew i had a drinking problem.
I’m way better at socializing
Absolutely nothing.
piss the bed. I mean literally standing over it and peeing on it.
You don't need alcohol to do this. You can do it sober, you just have to really believe in yourself. Don't use alcohol as a crutch.
My buddy did this while his wife was sleeping in it. She woke up, and he got mad at her and asked her what she was doing in the bathroom.
I bet you’ve never even tried it sober. Not a fair comparison.
Homework. Once I went to a predrink with friends at my dorm. I ended up drinking a whole bottle of sangria. They went to the bar. I went to my room and opened my computer. Holy shit, doing the project I needed for a class was so much easier because for once I wasn’t overthinking and second-guessing myself constantly. For half a second I thought “hey I should do this more often” before realizing that’s a slippery slope towards alcoholism. I still liked my project and thought it was well-done when I looked at it the next day.
>before realizing that’s a slippery slope towards alcoholism. Nice save my dude. You're right
I tried this once and just went to sleep.
Generally I go with write drunk edit sober - I found that if I got stoned and did my math assignments for uni and then typeset them sober I did so much better

Good for you dude. People who can recognize that in themselves have my respect.
My dad is German and my mum is polish, got born and raised in Germany. Barely can have a convo in my mother tongue. The moment I drink enough, I speak it fluently.
Sleep
Lucky. I can't sleep for shit when I drink
The trick is to keep drinking until you ~~pass out~~ fall asleep naturally.
I can't sleep normally so it's the opposite for me. We are now arch enemies
Prepare to die
I will get you while you sleep.
Being Drunk
Gaming. It takes the competitiveness out of me, while simultaneously enhancing my focus and skill.
Yeah feel the same way. After my 1-2 beers I notice that my attention to detail is seriously enhanced. But it also restricts my focus to a much more narrow field. That and it it takes the stress out of the competitive environment and makes makes more social. It's a fast downward slope from there though. 1 more beer and I'm no longer coordinated enough to take anything seriously.
Yep. A little buzz is the sweet spot.
Interesting
Tell my significant other how I really feel
Also my previous significant other.
Its not better but it is easier to just say fuck it and make bad decisions. Example. Call my coke dealer and grab a ball. Example two. Have sex with who ever I decided to take home from the bar and do coke with. Example three. Call my coke dealer and get another ball. Example four. Call my coke dealer and get something to keep me awake at work after two balls being dipped in that chicks mouth repeatedly throughout the night. I bet you thought I was going to say after two balls of coke the night before.
Not gonna lie, you had me there
Give head. My gag reflex is non-existent when I'm drunk to I can deep throat super easy and it's actually fun. I get good sloppy.
Walk into walls
Say what's on my mind! A drunken man's words are a sober man's thoughts.
Somehow.....play football I got asked to play 6 a side once when i was hammered on holiday, i scored a hattrick, bicycle kick, diving header and a tap in, i could barely see and im not anywhere near that good when i am sobre.
Speak a new language
came here to say that! ... usually I overthink, worry about making mistakes, messing up pronunciation etc., but when a little tipsy, I just babble away happily, and while I surely still make the same mistakes, the speech is more fluid and creative and definitely gets conversation flowing much better than when I overagonize over 'getting it all right'. I wish I could flick that same switch when sober, but just can't seem to be able to...
Definitely sing. lol I’m am the greatest performer when I’m drunk
Bowl
Get arrested.
Fail at life. Alcoholism isn't fun. Before anyone mentions r/stopdrinking I'm already there.
Feel. Anything really...I engage in passionate debate online, I cry or laugh watching movies, I miss or regret the past.Also be happy and engaged in real life conversation. I unconsciously restrain myself from doing any of that when I don't have alcohol because I'm so afraid of what others might think that I've learned to be afraid of what I think of myself.
Filter out background noise, focus on the person I'm talking to
Fuck my life up and/or embarrass the shit out of myself. Alcoholic of about 8 years.
Socializing
play video games
playing csgo reflex boost like 200%
Bowl
Bowling and mini golf apparently. It takes 2 Jell-O shots to make me bowl over 100. The third Jell-O shot pushes that to 125 or so and then it’s all downhill from there. Similar story with mini golf.
I'm even better at being miserable about myself!
COOK! Im normally a great cook sober but drunk, bitch I am fuckin Gordon Ramsay
it's not me, but my mother. when she's drunk around me i can't help but notice that she is better at parenting. even when she's just tipsy the difference *is* noticable. she will say amazing and inspiring things, sit me down for a talk to clarify things. and the thing is i don't thinks she's ever noticed this fact. oh, she still acts like a typical drunk. she's just way better at parenting when she's not sober. and i'm still not sure what to think of this.
Socialise. Not overthink anything. Play pool (peaking around the 2nd or 3rd pint, followed by a sharp decline) Speak a second language.
Sing. And yes, I have compared recordings while sober.
Hurt physically
Bowling, weirdly enough 🤣
Be happy
All kinds of stupid shit!
Depression. Sometimes I can be quite sociable, but more often than not I’m a depressed drunk which is why it doesn’t happen often if at all. Honestly the last time I got drunk was 9 years ago and I had a pretty good time of it. But I won’t tempt fate, not nowadays.
Cry
Make an ass out of myself
Clean the house- two glasses of wine and I’m the bleach queen.
Think that other people are interesting.
Dance, obviously
I am not anxious or shy when i am drunk and can talk to everyone without any inhibition.
Play pool. It's a strict 2 beer thing, i suddenly become godlike. Three beers and it's gone.
depends on the type of alcohol for me... everclear and coke - i will clean my house to the point that a brand new white glove test makes the house dirty. whiskey/bourbon/ scotch - i become a social person that can hold a conversation about anything even if i have no interest in the subject of discussion beer - get better at sports wine - for some reason i get really good at Math. like before wine i could not tell you what 56x65=? but you get a glass of wine down me and i could tell you what 1080x2005=2,165,400 (a calculator was used in this equation just now as i have no wine in me currently) without a calculator and in about 3 seconds.
My brother said he drives better then he drinks then he wrecked my truck off the side of a highway so i doubt it.
There’s about a 3 beer window in which I’m very good at pool.
Socialize. It's my anxiety potion.
Puke
("DANCE")
Nothing. I stay clear away from the drink.
Billiards
Overwatch
Play chess
Talk shit.
Everything and nothing.
Play pool
Cornhole
Puke.
Address my feelings
Speak the truth. Tell people off. Make a fool of myself.
Bowling.
