Near DUI

Drink two beers and then order an ice water with your next beer.

(Most bar tenders will serve the beer and accidentally forget the water, I've noticed. Weird!)

Anyway, after two drinks, if you have both ice water AND a beer in front of you, you'll instinctively reach for the water. The reason most people drink enough beer to get drunk, even when they didn't plan to, is because they are thirsty and they keep ordering beers to quench their thirst. Your body is getting dehydrated and needs water.

I've noticed EVERYTHING is better when you flush a lot of water down your throat while out drinking. Hang overs are easier. Intoxication is a lot lower.

I've also noticed a glass of ice water goes over a lot better with women than a beer bottle in hand. Women notice what you're drinking and they don't like drunk guys (unless they're hammered too). If the girl is drunk, she's probably got a friend who'll cock-block you anyway, especially if she's in her 20's. Demonstrate to her friends that you're not some random [i]drunk[/i] guy and they're much less likely to cock-block.

My game has improved immensely since I stopped drinking so much. Most of my successful pulls, lately, have been pretty much sober...just a couple beers to take the edge off.
