Taken from a book I read: "Why the near psychotic shift in behavior from stone sober, kind, coherent gentleman to raging drunk with nothing in between? Recent medical studies may provide a physiological answer. Many people lack the proper enzymes to correctly metabolize alcohol. When they drink, the alcohol is not assimilated at a normal rate and the usual warning signals are not sent to the brain. The brain can be cold stone sober one moment and then assaulted by a massive dose of almost pure alcohol the next. This amounts to a chemically induced psychosis, which could easily trip the schizoid switch in an otherwise totally normal brain."

This seems to be saying that if you are unable to consume alcohol normally you can drink a lot more of it before you get horribly drunk. Also that you can be a social drinker if you drink in moderation. I'm not sure what moderation is here. Such a person would surely appear to be drinking far too much to a normal person that couldn't take more than a couple of drinks.

If people were consuming an alcoholic beverage while eating a full meal, then this particular problem wouldn't show up as much.

Always eat before you drink
Have good solid foods not just peanuts and chips.
I have noticed those that do have a good meal last the night compare to the ones that don't
It's common sense where we come from.

Eat before drink

Yes, that's good advice and if you're drinking on an empty stomach you're no doubt doing more damage to it. If you're drinking and eating you don't have as much room in your stomach for the booze I suppose.

actually,Alcohol enters your Bloodstream and affects your Central Nervous System way before any of those Vittles have time to be digested!

Really? Can I ask what your medical qualifications are? Can you tell me if the enzymes in the consumed food, which would be in the stomach along with the alcohol, would not allow a person to consume that alcohol at a more normal metabolic rate than if he had not eaten?

actually common Knowledge!
Ask any Medical Doctor!
Besides,I used to do quite a bit of Research in my mis-spent Youth!

Actually depends on the person and the degree of alcohol being consumed. And how fast their own metabolism is affected by the alcohol being absorbed into their system through the bloodstream.

A person that is regularly "binge drinking" is an alcoholic the same as the everyday alcoholic that drinks daily and in some cases can be causing more damage to their body.

There are several different types of "alcoholics".

The food in ones system may slow it down to some degree but not totally but that is more myth..The same as any liquid will be digested way faster than any solid.

One thing is for sure...if you binge drink on a full stomach, youre bound to see that meal again

Dude chugs whole bottle of fireball whiskey in library... put that in to YouTube... a friend sent me a link.. I don't know how to send it here...
Talk about binge drinking..omg.. funny to watch it.. but the dude is killing his liver not to mention brain cells..

True don't eat beetroot. Lol it makes things come up pink

And probably a lovely shade of pink too

Another good reason not to binge drink..
Just slow and steady if a person is inhibing to much..
Me I am a lightweight unless straight shots.

3 max for the evening and I definately have a buzz going on

OMG, has he posted more videos after that? Or did he die of alcohol poisoning?

Yes apparently he has a whole series of slamming and binge drinking...
.. the dude is not right in the head..

That isn't fully correct. All it does is slow it down some. I was in a relationship with a hard core alcoholic...among other issues

Yea binge drinkers are amateurs. You cant enjoy a cpl of fingers of fine Kentucky bourbon by slamming it lol

Well, a lot of the binge drinking that goes on is people going out and drinking quite a lot in a short space of time before the pubs shut. It's quite common and I don't think that you can call them all alcoholics. But maybe it doesn't matter and if you want to call everyone that goes out at the weekend to get drunk alcoholics, then whatever. They aren't alcoholics in the same sense that someone is when he drinks every day though.

I didn't really want to talk so much about that anyway. I think for the sake of this discussion it's enough to say that someone has a drinking problem if he can't digest alcohol "normally". Say, I've had five pints and my speach isn't even slurred yet. I feel fine, so I have another and a double whisky. All of a sudden I'm hammered and I'm also drinking more before I feel that I've had enough or got a proper buzz going, so that's likely to slide into full blown alcohol dependancy if I'm not careful.
