Pre-drinking is a skill that takes little time to hone. Learn your limits, go to it, head out and hold off on ordering drinks for a few hours. You want to keep a warm buzz all night, without getting sick, and without sobering up.
Pre-drinking does not mean getting so plastered you can barely leave the house, in turn ruining your groups night. Really, if your that drunk – to the point where you bend over to put on your shoes and do a face plant – you shouldnt be growling at the people who are telling you to take it easy. Most of those people were looking forward to a long night of chatting and catching up, dancing and an over all relaxed mood.
Having to watch you and make sure you didnt get kicked out of anywhere/fall/start drama/get stolen/get lost/catch yourself on fire trying to light a smoke/order more to drink was not in the nights agenda.
Thanks for ruining the spirit of the night and making an ass of yourself.

I like this bitch.
The proper usage of You’re: You’re doing it wrong
pre-drinking.perhaps this will be in the dictionary like d’oh
Pre-drinking? Me thinks that that is an oxymoron by morons.
The OP forgot to mention – carting your friend around in a wheelbarrow !!!! No point in the first place getting ” tanked up ” or “pre buzzed ” on the way out – isn’t going for a few drinks just that ? Going for a couple ? If you want a “warm buzz” all night – skip the fuckin booze and smoke a joint – atleast you can function and walk . And not get kicked out of and your ass beaten all over the place .
OP, sounds like you need to spend more time working on your grammar than honing your pre-drinking skills.
being somewhat of an expert on drinking (until i was going to die) there is a fine line to pre-drinking; yes it’s much more economical to have some beveridges before the bar but it’s also easy to over do it and make an ass of yourself(i can’t relate to that though:)
Instead of drinking, you should just get really really baked instead. Make a night out of making weed brownies some time. Gives you a great social activity both before and for several hours after the activity.
I’ve been there before… sadly it was caught on camera and I’ve never lived it down.
Also made me realize how it’s done.
Don’t pound a quart and try to head out…. you will fail.. epically.
Do take your time and build your buzz.
Don’t play crazy drinking games for a couple hours prior.. they are made for you to fail.
Do use the clock as your gauge.
I’m with Q on this one !!! Makes for a way better night !!! No puking – no asshole moments – no getting tossed – no hangover – and your friends will head out with you again !! Q – it’s been awhile since the hash brownie thing – thanks for reminding me !!!
Q and Hog: Even better is to do both!! A little bit of pre-drinking mixed with a hoolie or two and a couple of brownies!! Then you go out and have a killer night. And the dirty, dirty pizza at pizza corner tastes SOOOO much better when you’re drunk with the munchies at 3am.
The issue is not with the pre-drinking. It is with the bars in Halifax who allow these obviously over intoxicated young pukes into their bar when they can hardly stand or speak. It amazes me. Technically the law states that you are not allowed to serve an intoxicated person. Ha ha ha. If that is the case, maybe someone can explain to me how these young people,. who cannot handle their booze to begin with, are allowed into an establishment when they have been pounding back booze in the dorm room for 4 hours? To me, if the bars started enforcing the LAW, everyone, including the bars, would be better off. People would be forced to go out earlier and drink at the BAR because they would fear not getting in. The bar would make more money, having people there earlier and drinking THEIR booze. And, the students would probably get less drunk because, supposedly, they are poor and would not be able to afford as much booze at bar prices. Sounds like a win/win to me?
