Pre-Game

[RU OX Alum]

What do you do before you go out?

I usually have a couple of doubles, get ready. Listen to some up beat, put me in the mood to go out music.

Depends on where I'm going/who I'm going with.

If I'm going out with my regular crew, I'll have some shots or a few beers while watching TV. I'll have a little more if I'm going to a club. I usually have to wait around for a few minutes while the women get ready.

If I go out with new-ish people, I'll have a mixed drink and sip on it until I'm ready to leave.

Usually when I go out, though, it's to a bar for drink specials, so pre-gaming isn't necessary.

Listen to some music while getting dressed then watch tv or talk to my roommate until its time to go.

Take a shower, get dressed, then either wait for whoever I'm going out with at my house or leave to meet up with them.

If it's going to be a big night...4 words: beer in the shower.

Otherwise maybe just a drink or two and I'll usually have the TV going, preferably some sort of comedy - either a movie or standup...if there's nothing on, I'll throw on a DVD.

It depends on how I'm feeling or where I'm going. Usually I'll shower, get dressed, then smoke a few and get high.

Same - I used to have a few drinks before going out, but to be honest, my tolerance has taken such a free fall that any sort of drinking before going out would probably cut my night short.

no pre-game. i start off with a jager bomb or some other strong shot at the bar, though. kick-start.

I know, I Maybe have a few drinks no more than twice a month now. What used to be accomplished in 7-8 beers can now be done with 3.

I have a specific play list I usually put on while I'm getting ready. Then my roommate gets annoyed when I leave my door open and that stuff is blasting. Hehe...

I think for some people you can tell how far out someone is from college by how low their tolerance is.

Live-in and I will probably never pregame, and it'd be very strange if we ever drank before 5 anymore. Unless it's Christmas Day.

What, no one else's family hits up the liquor cabinet while opening presents?

The liquor cabinet becomes my bedroom when I'm visiting family. I spend my Christmas and Thanksgiving holidays in a drunken haze.

Mimosas yes, egg nog no. Well, live-in likes egg nog. He had that while my dad and I polished off a magnum of champagne in our orange juice.

Please - I need to be a little tipsy to deal with my dad and live-in's family in the same room.
