I agree especially when first getting to know each other...that's an activity to decide on doing together :)

TBH if my date showed up obviously drunk, stoned, etc I would make an excuse and go home...and tell him why later (if we talked again that is)

"How much booze do you think you should drink on a date?"

Answer: None. The consumption of an alcoholic beverage is not required in order to go on a date.

It would depend on my health. If I had a warning from my dr, that one more pint would kill me, I'd just stick with cola. I noticed that as I got older, my body was less able to tolerate Vodka and Wine. I think Wine tastes a bit vile though, if I'm honest. I'd probably only drink three or four pints. After watching a close friend choke on his own vomit, I was put off alcohol for a long time. I know it was his own fault for drinking too much, but unless you witness that kind of stuff...................

enough to make her look good

Well....I personally don't drink that often....not saying I haven't before, but I don't see myself drinking on a date unless it was within the comfort of my own property. Now I rarely ever go to bars, and i would suggest avoiding such places as far as dating, but it doesn't take one long to learn, especially in towns next to army posts, you really have to watch your back. If I were to meet someone in a bar, typically I would bring a few friends along, kinda separate before we go in, that way nobody knows they are there. I've come to find that the best thing to carry with you in such places is the brightest flashlight you can find that will fit comfortably in your pocket. When meeting dates at bars, especially if you are a stranger to the place(not a regular), you can pretty much figure on being messed with, especially if you're there with a pretty lady. In most cases, providing you've done absolutely nothing to instigate trouble, the guy who will be brave enough to make physical contact with you will be well intoxicated, by beaming the bright light in your attackers eyes at close range, and only in self defense, their tunnel vision limits them to seeing only a big green dot due to their temporary blindness from the light, giving you an average(varying on the person) of 19 to 37 seconds of free time to basically beat the dawg sheeeaaaat out of your attacker in self defense while also giving you a tool to use against anyone standing in your way of escape. In any case, do not abandon your date, you could be the only defense she has against the pursuing party that chose to try to intimidate you. Another method is to always keep a lighter handy, liquor of course is highly flammable, with enough practice, one can learn how to spew liquor out of their mouth and through a lighter creating a flame thrower affect, combining a shot or a glass of liquor with this has endless possibilities which can also be very dangerous as well as cause you legal trouble, incrimination and what not. Bear in mind that this information is not something I recommend for anyone to try, nor am I encouraging criminal activity. Any illegal activities can and will be punishable by law and should be avoided.

Three or four pints of vodka would probably kill someone. That's two fifths. I'll go with none.

Here's another question. When you ask a lady back to your place for a glass of wine should you just give her the cheap stuff? I'm only asking because I was trying to be a gentleman the last time that I bought wine for a lady and I asked for the best that they had in the shop. It tasted alright but after one glass of it I was totally legless.

I think that the girls that drink vodka don't actually drink it straight out of the bottle and I think that they just carry those bottles for when they go into pubs because of the price of drinks.

It does seem that women like cheap booze and that's why I try to be a gentleman and just give them cheap cider now. It's not like I make them drink it out of the can though. They can have a glass if they want.

Anyone up for scotch???

Susan: "A real woman could stop you from drinking."

Arthur: "It'd have to be a real BIG woman."

It's Arthur's theory not mine. did you say chains?

I'm not a big drinker and rarely even have alcohol in the house. So I won't be showing up to my date buzzed. However, if I'm on a date and drinks are available I will definitely have a couple.

And then there's Girls' Night at which I will usually get completely hammered. Got one of those coming up next weekend.

I have never understood why some of you Humans deliberately place a toxic amount of alcohol into your bodies. That is what it means to become intoxicated with alcohol.

Some of us don't.

A few cocktails is not that bad but I only drink alcohol at home because I don't drink and drive.

3 beers gets me hammered. I'm pretty sure it's not toxic. At least no more so than eating McDonalds.
