Ok my favorite is probably straight gin. about 10 shots and a blunt will give me that right feeling if u know what i mean.
but my fav mixed would have to be coke and Vanilla smirnoff vodka =]
i also like to mix Crystal Light w/ vodka to put in a gatorade bottle and bring to skool.
how about you all ?
i just thought this post would allow people to share some recipe's and stuff w. each other. please no flaming

I'm going to flame you right now. This forum is about addictions. It's not about sharing recipes with under-age people on how to get fucked up.
Are you in training to be a burnout and alcoholic? WTF do you plan to do with your life?
As I asked you in the other thread, what's going on in your life that this stuff seems so attractive? It has to be more than a bad day.

How old are you? Is there anything else interesting going on over the weekend? Are your parents completely clueless? Katrina was a while back, so how old were you when you started smoking pot and drinking booze?
Do you have any idea how people start to become alcoholics? I knew people who were raging alcoholics by the time they were done with college.
A big problem is that you are still young, and that stuff appears not to be good for a developing brain.

I dont drink 10 shots of gin and hit a blunt.
First off gin tasts like sucking a fucking pine tree, I like to smell them, I dont want to taste them.
second 10 shots of gin is equal to 20 of the shitty ass Utah beers Im currently drinking, Iv had 14 so far in the last ohhh 3, 4 hours ? Im feeling pretty fucking grand right now.
Iv got a kid in 10th grade, if I caught him drinking Id be beating his ass. If I caught him smoking a fatty, Id do more damage to him than any amount of weed hed smoked in th last year did to him.
If I shuold slam 10 shots and smoke a fatty, Id be unable to walk. Iv been drinking for a long time, Im a fucking professional at it. If you can drink that much and smoke one and not be passed out you may want to start attending some AA meetings

yah i really don't see how drinking once in a while on the weekends is going to turn you into a huge fucking loser. My dad has drank since he was 16 and he still does, its not like he sits at home and gets smashed but he has a couple drinks on weekends and maybe one on weekdays. And his liver is fine, but im not in anyway saying its not worse for a teenager to drink that it is an adult. because its not.. but i dont see it as a big deal.

Responsibly, is the key -- and knocking yourself out like that is anything but.
I've learnt my lesson in 2001 and 2002 and I'd advise you to lessen your quota.
And I have to agree with the other guys, it's kinda... not right on this forum. The target audience are teens, who -- in the singular case of the United States -- cannot drink legally. Therefore sharing "recipes" on how to get wasted is not right and also irresponsible.

Ask your parents how much they like your drinking and smoking.
How freaking old are you? Aside from what a bad idea it is, do you understand that any adult who gives you advice on drinking is contributing to the delinquincy of a minor?
Do your friends drink and smoke pot, or do you do it by yourself?

Just keep in mind that if you're having a party at your house, and you're drinking, and your parents know about it, they are in deep shit. If some underage drunk person leaves the party and hurts themselves, they are in very deep shit. I'm not talking about morality here...just the law. (I assume you're in the U.S.)

So you started smoking pot and drinking alcohol when you were 13?
It kind of reminds me of a couple of movies: Taxi Driver and kids.

So being 'totally smashed' out in public is much better/safer than being totally smashed at home?

Steve, you know as well as I that this kid is bragging and trying to make himself look cool (And justify his bad habits).
He's not going to listen to you, or anyone else here; even though half the senior members here have been there, done that, and regret it.

LESS chance of running into the police out in public than in the private confines of your home? That is awfully flawed logic...

Be sure to check at the top of the message to see who that person is replying to; be VERY careful that you select the person/post you want to reply to.

Your chances are rather high that the police will be at a large part compared to being at home with a small group.

Even if you have only one friend over, close the drapes, and have a couple of beers, if your friend gets into some difficulty when he leaves your house, your parents may be in deep financial trouble, even if they don't know what's going on, and they may be criminally liable if they do know what's going on.
I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but it is the American legal system.

So you have friends over for drinking parties, and your parents know what's going on? Do they buy the booze?
I'm not judging here, but they are commiting a felony.

Yea, the whole 'underage-drinking' thing is taken pretty seriously.
Hell, your parents are looking at jail-time just for allowing you to drink in the house! (Which also includes allowing under-age sex to occur, btw)

I grew up in Miami. That's about as f'd up as it gets.
You haven't seen The OC? Lots of rich, permissive parents, with kids who go to town with the sex and drugs?

Steve, it's often said (though it may be a myth) that in Prohibition more alcohol was drunk than when it was legal. Do you think the current selective prohibition for people under 21 in the US is any more successful?
BTW, I've known a few teen alcoholics. Their alcoholism of course held them back in life, as well as gradually deteriorating their frontal lobes. But the ones I knew were good kind people. (I'm not pointing any moral - just my observation.)

I don't know that it's true, but it's certainly plausible. A lot of drinking was done during prohibition, but worse was the corrosive effect the law had on society and the legal system. It was incredibly corrupting, and it fueled the rampant growth of organized crime.
Current drug laws not only have the same effect, but do little to decrease the availability of illicit drugs, judging from their street prices.
That begs the idea, thought, that it's wrong to regulate adults' personal behavior, and the negative effects of the diminuation of liberty.
But still, it doesn't mean it's a good idea to get drunk all the time, even if the government doesn't stop you from doing it.

This is a complex question, which I'll defer for the moment.
BTW, I've known a few teen alcoholics. Their alcoholism of course held them back in life, as well as gradually deteriorating their frontal lobes. But the ones I knew were good kind people. (I'm not pointing any moral - just my observation.)
For much of my life, I've been surrounded by alcoholics. I don't know whether it has something to do with me, or it's just the way the dice roll. My own parents drank rarely, and I drink very moderatly. A beer or a couple of glasses of wine from time to time are fine with me; that put me in the "doesn't drink" category with some of the people I know. In some cases, someone had to be the adult, and I was stuck with the job.
My uncle had a bar on the Skid Row of Miami, and I got to know some of the regulars, including my aunt. Nice people, mostly, but with destroyed lives. An 8-year-old shouldn't have been exposed to some of the things my aunt did.
