How to still have fun without getting ****-faced drunk.?

Once you reach the actual "drunk" stage, it's really downhill from there. People think "I feel good when I drink so more alcohol must = more fun" but once you reach about a .04 or .06 alcohol level that is the high of your buzz. After that the depressant effects of alcohol begin to take effect and you get sloppy, sleepy, remember less, and though you may want to have a good time you really are just falling all over the place. So to release your inhibitions and have a good time without getting wasted just don't drink so much so fast. Three drinks a night (depending on the length of the night) are probably all you need to get a good buzz. Just don't drink them too fast =] Space them out and if after the third you feel you're losing your buzz, get one more.
