Well for me it depend the situation, a beer while watching hockey or talkin at the bar won't do any change, maybe talkin a bit more. A rum&coke or other drink like this when i come back late from work or when i can't sleep is to calm myself and then sleep faster/better...  And there is also time when i just drink a lot then its > funnier, happy, talk more, confident, stupid sometime... Last time i was very drunk i flirted andoura's brother's GF and then i pee on andoura's car !! A very funny night, everyone was fuckin drunk

nice job on peeing on andoura's car
xanax is an anti-anxiety pill that has similar effects to alcohol.

i totally agree on that one.

I drink mainly because i work in an enviornment that can really get under your skin after a long day.  I drink to relax, and have fun.  As for being drunk, i am usually more or less the same person, jus a lil louder.  As for last nite, lol thats another story. 

Anyone every puked into a minus 40c windsheild?

I rarely drink to excess, usually just enough buzz to improve my mood/relax me.

In stages:

Stage 1: Relaxed, sociable.
Stage 2: Relaxed, sociable, sometimes mix up words.
Stage 3: Relaxed, sociable, frequently mix up words, think I'm funnier than I am.
Stage 4: I need to pee.
Stage 5: Very relaxed, need to pee frequently and prone to speaking loudly.
Stage 6: Singing along to old Backstreet Boys songs is beginning to seem like a good idea.
Stage 7: Did I say good idea? Backstreet Boys fucking rule!
Stage 8: Make a complete tit out of myself.
Stage 9: *Scene Missing*
Stage 10: Nauseousness, dizziness, tiredness, surprising ability to string complex sentences together, frequent use of malapropism.

Of course it doesn't always go like this or in that order.

Beer puts me in a good mood and calms me down, but too much and I end up with some fat chick. Then I curse myself and vow to never drink again only to find myself in a bar the very next day. sigh the irony of it all

I also have a loose system of drunkenness. I try to apply it to everyone, so there are arguments about accuracy. Feel free to adjust or add comments. These are very rough, and there are certainly interchangeable features that everyone experiences differently. But generally everyone can mark themselves on the chart by using the level system if they personalize their own experiences at each level.

Level One: Sober

Sober. No alcohol.

Level Two: Social

Some alcohol, but sociable and mostly rational. Having a good time, with some inhibitions.

Level Three: Tipsy

You're getting there, but not quite drunk. Having a good time, with excellent memory the following day and little effects from the alcohol. Balance is starting to disappear, and your speech begins to slur or change noticeably.

Level Four: Drunk

Oh yeah. Good times. Like Level Three, only the effects are much more significant. There may be the beginning of some ill alcohol effects, but generally you have little inhibitions, balance, or coherency. You still remain somewhat rational.

Level Five: Smashed

Sure, you're still having a great time. But you'll embarrass yourself more, while you aren't puking or passing out. While there are those who will avoid these symptoms, you are tipping the scales and there is a more likely chance of difficulties. Your memory will be spotty or difficult the morning after, and you make some decisions that are strange.

Level Six: Party Too Hardy

The effects of alcohol are too much. Either you have alcohol poisoning, or you appear dead to your friends. Difficult to wake, or get any action at all. Even if you avoid alcohol poisoning, you won't be going to work the next day.

Level Seven: Dead

Dead.

Happy, but I don't drink much anymore. Simply because I tend to have a very high tolerance, which leads to alcohol abuse. Many times I had a whole 24-pack to myself and felt just a bit drunk. I guess it runs in the family, which has many many hardcore alcoholics (and destroyed families too). Now I only have a beer or two when I go see a concert (metal bands that is). I don't go clubbing because I hate those places and I don't enjoy myself.

My favorite is Mooshead Premium Dry, or Alexander Keith, or Alpine.
If not I might go with local micro-breweries which are freakin awesome.

Labatt, Bud and Coors have horrible tastes and only drink them if they're offered

Oh, and I used to drink "orange juice" in school hehe. Smirnoff ftw!! although it's best when pure, unmixed
