Answer 1

Dude you don't want a high tolerance. It's a pain in the butt. You have to spend a lot of money to get drunk and spend a lot of time drinking. I went through ten drinks today and all I got out of it was a buzz. I didn't even get drunk ! I had eight straight shots of creme de menth (60 proof ) straight out of the bottle. Then two shots of Jack Daniels (80 proof). It cost me fourteen dollars for all of that. I liked it better when I could drink two shots and get drunk.

Answer 2

Add 100 pounds.

That's your only option because drinking a lot won't up your tolerance any faster, it'll just damage your liver.  

Answer 3

It is better to maintain a low tolerance . Even though you can drink more without realizing the effects with high tolerance , your body is still suffering from the effects of excess alcohol . Alcohol gets you buzzed because the alcohol replaces some of the water in your blood . It evaporate quickly in your liver ( burning and scarring it) . The brain does not get enough oxygen . First the part that controls inhibitions is weakened . This is why you feel more "courage" when you ask a girl to dance ,and have trouble turning the steering wheel just the right amount .

It  is no longer cool to get drunk . Whether you think you are or not . Anything over .06 is buzzed and anything over .08 is drunk , impaired . You may not notice it until you are in a car accident . google a blood alcohol / weight chart to see how much you can safely drink . The old image of a hard drinking frat guy is out of style . The night of my frat initiation I drank 23 shots of Southern Comfort . Now I seldom even take a drink .I drink caffeine free Diet Coke and and Seltza w/ lime . I have adapted to being outgoing and unhibited without the booze . I can drive anywhere , win a fight if I have to , and not have to apologize the next day for being an *** .

I just got back from the Newport Folk Festival . I saw Jimmy Buffet , Levon Helm ("The Band" -The Weight ) , Over the Rhine , Calexico , and a dozen other bands . 90% of the people were drug / cigarette free . There was a small bar off to one side and those people were looked upon differently . The rest of us were their to hear the music and groove . The ones at the bar were "dinosaurs" just looking for an excuse to drink and sing along at the top of their lungs . I used to drink heavy . I'm sorry I didn't stop sooner . It would have been easier to quit . But I did it and I'm healthier and cooler than ever ! Be a leader not a follower . You stopped drinking because you know it increased your performance in your sport . Why decrease your abilities . If you feel like you need it to join in a social situation either practice ,without the booze, acting the way you would like to in that situation . Or if you find your self bored in that situation without the booze find a different situation . No need to bring yourself back down now that you've shown yourself you can do without .

BTW , I am a pro musician and drank with the best of them  . You would be suprised at how many guys from the 60's and 70's have outgrown this stuff. Last week I was drinking with the former touring lead guitarist for a very famous Rock & Roll band . We shared a pitcher of diet Coke . And a couple days ago I was at a bar in NYC where a former pro drummer is the bartender . He got drunk . I had to take over for him for two hours . He is in danger of losing this job that he needs .

i wish icould have a low tolerance!!! u save alot of money haha! umm u will have to get drunk alot... like everyday for a week or something

Answer 5

why would you want to be able to drink more? that means you would spend more money on beer (alcohol) and achieve a beer belly even quicker. Even if you are in shape now, it WILL take its toll! But if you absolutely must hang with the fellas, just be sure you prepare....be sure to drink A LOT of water throughout the day and eat complete full meals, especially bread. This will help absorb the alcohol. And with a lot of water in your system, this will help dilute the alcohol.

But what's wrong with just drinking your beer at a slow pace so that you're sober and able to enjoy their company. Besides, you seem so much more mature being the guy that knows you don't have to drink so much to fit in.
