On Sunday night I hosted the second 4chan Q&A/PMQ session here. Thanks everyone for contributing 4,000 posts and hanging out for 7.5 hours—it was fun and I hope it was informative/entertaining.

Has anyone else noticed that Americans seem to get drunk faster than most Europeans?

Not trying to start a shitfest here - having a low alcohol tolerance seems like it'd be much cheaper to live by

you're drinking with people under 21, OP. And you haven't thought this through enough.

That's funny because everytime I see The Simpsons and see Homer getting drunk with beer I wonder who could get drunk that easily.
>>
>>6809674
When I was in the US and went clubbing everyone has cunted on 3 drinks or so, it looked really cheap.
>You'll never get drunk cheaply
>>
>>6809622 (OP)

Like >>6809632 said, if you're drinking with Americans under 21, that might explain it. They generally haven't learned how to drink.

>>6809664

Usually because it's cheaper than good beer. I agree though, it is terrible.
>>
>>6809664
Poor people drink Budweiser. Real men drink scotch, vodka, or whiskey.

>inb4 but broo it's crazy man
>>
>>6809706
That's probably a fair point.

Have there been any attempts to lower the drinking age in the US? It just seems so strange..

Anyway, I read that Switzerland's law stipulates 16 for beer, wine and cider; 18 for spirits, which is an interesting idea.
>>
>>6809764

It is. I'm 19 and I can't buy alcohol but I can get blown up in Afghanistan. Fucking Ronald Reagan..

>Have there been any attempts to lower the drinking age in the US

It was a state's issue until the 80's and reagan took over and was like muh moral majority, and forced states to raise it (or they would lose federal highway funding).

Republicans are all about those "states rights."
>>
>>6809764
I think it's stupid, but it is true at least in America.

Alcohol is like this big bad thing to young people and if you drink a little OMG UR so hard.

The few people that are under 21 that I'll drink with are annoying as fuck when they're drunk, and it doesn't take much for them.

Also my mom has like 3 beers and is drunk, but that's just funny.
>>
>>6809776
>frenchman telling me to drink like a man.
I drink from a beerbong when I want to get drunk fast, I drink like A man when I want to enjoy a pint
>>
>>6809781
My dad told me when he was 18 in the 70s, they lowered the drinking age to 18 for a little while, but put it back up to 21 because of all the idiots doing dumb shit while drunk.

This was also the first and last time my dad got drunk
>>
In one Desperate Housewives episode someone said: "he isn't gay, not even after 3 beers". Americans really should learn to drink.

>not drinking this
>MMXII
>>
>>6809832

No. It was decided by state. Most states had it set to 18 after prohibition ended (1930's) and they didn't change it until the 1980's.
>>
>>6809764

Most reasonable people agree that it's pretty dumb.

>>6809781

I'm not sure, to be honest. I read somewhere that drinking laws actually vary by state, but we were always taught that it's 21 across the board. There's not too much momentum for changing it though. People nowadays are pushing much harder to legalize and regulate weed.

I used to get drunk on just beer last year. Fuck, I wouldn't even feel buzzed till around 8-9, an maybe drunk around 11-12. It was PBR, Im a dirty hipster.

I can stand getting drunk on beer anymore, I have to pee so much and I feel so bloated.

Yeah and I guess Michigan decided to raise/lower it or something.

>a single drink

If you're referring to a single drink as in just beer, than yes

But I had way, way more than just one.

I don't do that shit anymore. It made me fat and beer drunk sucks. I moved on to spirits when I turned 21.

Boasting that you can outdrink other people is silly. I mean, I drink too (being a student in Scotland, it's pretty difficult to avoid it) but claiming you can outdrink anyone ITT really is a bit petty.

Hardly. I'm the guy who posted about the whisky a few posts ago.

I started properly when I was 12. Luckily I started working when I was 15 so I managed to cut it down a decent amount. I couldn't imagine where I'd be if I hadn't started working.

>>6809622 (OP)
>Has anyone else noticed that Americans seem to get drunk faster than most Europeans?
I have not noticed this, no. Hardcore American drunks can probably hold their own with just about anyone. It's interesting to note that many of our good beers (not macro-brewed yellow swill, but the snobby micro stuff that Americans who actually like beer drink) are actually higher in alcohol than most of their international counterparts (American IPAs have a much higher alcohol content in general than the variety does in its birthplace, for example), and our bars mostly pour larger drinks. So I think serious drinkers should be in good shape. I think it's more likely that OP is drinking with very young people who've only just begun to drink.
>All that being said, however, my wife has an incredibly low tolerance. She is a very cheap date. I am a grizzled, hardened lush, though.
>>
>>6810380

Uh, no, it's not. By age alone, I have had far more time to build up a tolerance than any of you guys. Even just drinking moderately.
>>
>>6810406

I guess I forgot that the whole premise of the thread was about Americans not being able to drink, so took your post out of context.

How quickly they get drunk depends mostly on the size of the person drinking.
Also, how do you go to the bar without pre-gaming before hand? Otherwise, you'd spend way more money.
