Hey guys... new here but I've been on another site and have been studying, reading, watching vids for the past month or two.

So my question is related to getting drunk on the weekends. (I'm a college student). Lots of articles I've read stress the importance of simply having fun. They say to have the most fun you can, not worry about the chicks, and it'll happen. But also lots of guys say to not really drink too much if you plan on trying to pick up girls. It's a bit different in college though when all your friends push you to drink, and you're basically expected to be drunk when out at bars.

Also, alcohol sure helps me be a bit more loose with my interactions. Other times though it doesn't help at all. For example, I've approached a girl out maybe once or twice. I just can't do it. I had a girl straight up staring me down with a huge smile on her face from 4 feet away this weekend, and I just smiled back and did nothing. Couldn't have been easier, but I couldn't, and I was pretty drunk.

I've also had situations where I've been talking to a girl I was interested in at the bar, and the next morning I barely remember anything except the general fact that I was having a conversation with her.

So how do you deal with this/compromise? I know the easy answer is "just have a couple drinks". But I'm just curious what you college guys do, especially when you have the peer pressure of your friends trying to get you smashed.

You are going to have to game without the alcohol. Being dependent on alcohol is a no no. Once you are comfortable gaming chicks with no help of drugs or alcohol, it will only serve to boost the 'fun' factor. 2 months? Try stepping out of your comfort zone tomorrow, please.

It's college, so it's virtually impossible to run around sober. In fact, most people will think you're weird as fuck if you're the only guy at the party drinking water with lemon.

Don't get so shit-faced that you're throwing up, and just focus on having a good time. Because like you said, things will just kind of fall into place. Everyone there is drunk and horny, it should be easy.

Drunk and horny is about right. Kinda hard not getting shit-faced with all the alcohol in the room.

All about moderation, bud.

If you've been drunk before, you probably have an idea of how much it takes to go from sober to buzzed, buzzed to drunk, drunk to shitfaced, and shitfaced to "tucker max drunk." So just stop yourself at that first or second step. Throwing up, picking fights, and getting arrested will end any chance at getting laid.

Remember, it's illegal to purchase, possess, or consume alcohol if you're under 21. Saying that may not do anything, but you gotta remember to be smart, bud.

My best solution was to always keep a budget. For instance, 4 drinks will put me between buzzed and drunk, depending on what drinks and how fast i drink them. so i bring cash for 4 drinks plus cab fare. i leave my debit card at home, it'll only cause trouble. 4 drinks is plenty, that's 3 beers and a shot when you wanna toast with your buds. If you're drinkin at your place, do the math.

number of people * hours you'll be there * 2

that's the absolute most number of drinks you should have, trust me. Think about it, if you're havin 5 people over, and you're guessin to all get together around 10, liberal estimate they'll be stayin til 2. that's four hours, 6 people
4*6*2 = 48 drinks

Dude that'll get you all happy without hospitalization, and that's handled by a case of beer and a fifth of vodka

It's not the alcohol that fucks up your game, unless you're TOTALLY WASTED.

If you've only had a beer or 5, you should still be able to open girls. In my experience it's just that you don't think about approaching, you just want to dance and you don't think about what you really want.

I mean everytime you go out, you should at least get one number. That should be your goal at the beginning of the evening, so while you're getting loaded, you should always have your goal in the back of your mind.

Like Midrange is saying: Girls WANT to be approached, they smile at you, dance near you.
This friday I went out and there weren't many people. I felt like I was king, because I was drunk and just didn't care. The hottest girls in the club started to dance near me, one of them smiled and said Hey while walking by... And I just kept dancing and dancing... Just didn't even thought about it.

So that's going to be my goal: One number every time I go out. I think it will help me tremendously as once you approach, you don't care anymore. Ofcourse with, 2 beers max.

Thanks guys. And no alcohol at all isn't really an option. (well it is). Sophmore year (I'm a senior now) I cut out the alcohol, and it definitely strained my friendships as, unfortunately, most college friendships are based on drinking and partying together. So maybe I'll force myself to just have 4-5 drinks. It definitely is hard though as once you start, you want to keep going. I usually buy myself a 6 pack and say that's it, then end up having shots with friends and buying a few more at the bar. Gotta work on that.

As for the 2 months.. in this time I've done major things to step out of my comfort zone. In one of my classes I sit next to the hottest girl (imo) in my school. The old me would never have said a word to her. But I know I need to change and one day asked for her number after class (after I'd had a bit of small talk with her a few times). It was real awkward and said she had a BF, but got the number anyway and overall I was proud I did it. I'm just starting to watch Fearless right now as well to get over these fears. I've done a few things like the above to get out of my comfort zone, but still I've been scared to straight up approach a girl, and I'm going to fix that now.

BTW, thanks for the quick responses guys, I'm liking this place a lot already.

Try gaming on water

I like women

I just remembered about something... next weekend there's going to be a keg race at my house against the nursing majors. Which means probably 40-50 chicks. This is a pure gold mine, is it not? Just wondering if you guys have any specific suggestions. As you all mentioned, I think the best thing I can do is to not drink much and I'll automatically have an upper hand against most the other guys.

Drink on the same level as the women there. When multiple people are drinking, only the ones who are on the same level of sobriety can communicate effectively.

For example, let's assume 2 people have the same level of alcohol tolerance:

Person 1 has 10 drinks.
Person 2 has 20 drinks.

These two would have a hard time communicating since person 2 is far more drunk than person 1. However,

Person 1 has 15 drinks.
Person 2 has 15 drinks.

That's when they can understand each other perfectly. They won't even be able to hear each other slurring their words, and they'll probably talk about something really deep like where humans originated. To an outsider who is sober of course, they'll sound like fucking idiots.

Anyway, this needlessly long explanation is basically just to show that you should try to stay on the same level of the women you're gaming in order to communicate and connect with them most effectively.
