    I call it the P-Zone, the perfect zone where everything is bliss, everyone is happy and all troubles of real life just melt away. The epitome of drinking!

    How much do you drink to get the perfect buzz....that zone where you aren't drunk but just the right kind of tipsy...the peak of alcohol bliss?

    For me, it's about 3 pints of strong (> 8%) beer. After three I have to stagger and alternate with water to remain in the zone.

    Do you think drinking alcohol and getting drunk is cool?

    I like when I first realize that I have alcohol in my system, during the second or third beer. I also like when I get sleepy and go to bed.

    Do you think calling your vice a hobby makes it any less of a vice?

    Embarrassed to admit that previously I would have answered this question that 3-4 cans of 6% beer give a perfect buzz. Now it's about 6 oz.'s for a perfect buzz

    I love a good buzz. I wish I could get a good drunk on now, I miss it. I love the taste of beer but now that I have to severely limit intake I miss the buzz as much as the taste.

    So, not sure if I think it's cool, since that would describe something for others as well as myself, and I don't think nor care if it's cool for others.

    OTOH I'm not a bluenose who pretends, "Ohh, yasss, I like beer, but no, no, no I do not like that nasty buzz, it's immoral and wrong, don't you know. I drink beer only for the taste.."

    Two imperial stouts or Belgian Tripels around 10% ABV, 8+ ounces each. Bonus if it's in a chalice .

    Shout out to enjoying a nice buzz, vice or no. Because not one of us is perfect, but all of us can enjoy ourselves and be responsible too.

    It's like the old line "I only read Playboy for the articles".

    I love beer. I'm not afraid to admit it. I love the buzz. I love the taste. The history. All of it.


    I could do without the effect it has on my diabetes and I could do without the early death too.
    Fucking beer.

    I'm not sure what the perfect buzz is. I'll have to ask my girlfriend what hers is called, and report back, but I do know it takes 3 AAAs.

    memento mori. youre gonna die one day. you can either enjoy yourself in the moment or pass it up for another time that may never come. sorry to hear about the beetus, that really throws beer drinking into a whole other plane.

    If I'm buzzed, it means I didn't stop soon enough.

    I can’t white lie either here, I love a couple of beers for the buzz, of course it taste great too and it’s been my beverage of choice for years even having tried many quality harder liquor or even great wines.

    I don’t know about perfect buzz, but no rum, bourbon, wine or tequila has ever put me in the light mood beer generally does.

    Yes there’s the fallacious argument that beer is “lighter” ABV wise, yet a couple of 7-8% IPA chugged in the evening equate about half a bottle of wine. Hobby, vice, tasty... IDK I enjoy the thing and try to avoid being a PITA to others.

    2 is my limit if I am away from the house for an evening out. If I start to feel buzzed I have gone to far

    It used to take me 6-7 beers average ABV. Maybe 3-4 8% beers. Now I’ve cut way back. It’ll take two now. It got to the point where it would take me honestly 10+ beers to be drunk drunk so I stopped that.

    For me the euphoric buzz it’s on the the upswing of the first couple beers (5-10% ABV) and the range is between 8oz to 24oz zone...dependent on speed of consumption and food in stomach. After 24oz, usually slides negatively.
