"Magic Number" of beers.
 

I keep drinking, looking for that magic number to put me to sleep. But I cannot seem to find it :(

Re: "Magic Number" of beers.
 

That would be considered a problem by some :2.

I'm sure there has to be other ways to to put your body to sleep other than to inebriate yourself.

Re: "Magic Number" of beers.
 

domestic beer?

Re: "Magic Number" of beers.
 

Switch to tequila. It put one of my friends to sleep in a couple hours in August.

Re: "Magic Number" of beers.
 

I think there may be a picture of that :lr

Priceless Tom! :r

Nappy Time.

Re: "Magic Number" of beers.
 

must be the jet lag. :r

Re: "Magic Number" of beers.
 

that was plural...hours, are you sure? :r

Re: "Magic Number" of beers.
 

Always works for me... Hehe

Re: "Magic Number" of beers.
 

I have been a Law Enforcement officer for several years now and I can tell you the number that I ALWAYS hear is "Twwwooo Shiiirrr"

Re: "Magic Number" of beers.
 

:r :D :tu

Re: "Magic Number" of beers.
 

because thrweeee is the unlucky number!

Re: "Magic Number" of beers.
 

That pic is priceless!!! :r:r:r

I have a rule when I drink no matter what it is...."thou shall not fall into slumber," things like that can happen, and sometimes worse! :r

Re: "Magic Number" of beers.
 

Maybe try a book?

Seems to work for me ... or you could have kids, then you will always be tired. I would personally start with a book.

Re: "Magic Number" of beers.
 

I would suggest a sprint around the block or 4.

Re: "Magic Number" of beers.
 

I have 2 kids. I have a harder time staying awake than falling asleep once 9:30pm rolls around.

Though I will say, there was a time before kids when I was going through a rough time, and routinely stayed up past 3am. Vodka always worked for me. 2 martinis. Or 2 strong screwdrivers.

Re: "Magic Number" of beers.
 

Or you could walk to the driving range and pick up golf balls for hours.

Re: "Magic Number" of beers.
 

This. Drinking is expensive, why waste the money just trying to fall asleep after you finally catch a buzz? Not only is exercise free, it's good for you on physical and mental levels, and once you push past the first half hour the natural opioids will make you feel great.

Re: "Magic Number" of beers.
 

Beer is a tasty beverage, not a medication, and short of being so hammered you pass out, alcohol doesn't induce sleep in someone who isn't tired. Exercise, reducing caffeine intake during the day and not eating late at night all can help with insomnia. If you feel the need for a chemical remedy, 50mg of benedryl and or a valerian supplement will do far more for you then a couple of beers. :2

Sex.

Re: "Magic Number" of beers.
 

This is another form of exercise...however, this could also be VERY expensive both up front and down the road!! :r:r:r

Re: "Magic Number" of beers.
 

Normally by 2 I'm falling asleep on the couch, but I got to 3 and just crawled into bed and watched TV.

I had been out dancing all night, which you would think would tucker me out, but it's not the case, because it get's my heart rate up and I feel as if it keeps me away.

Plus, although beer is not a remedy, but it is delicious, not an alcoholic by any means (besides, if I was was, being in college gives me a bye) but it's nice to just grab a beer and chill once in a while.

And for the record it was Labbatt Blue Light, not domestic, but the most cost effective without getting into garbage beer like Keystone, Busch, and Genny. I would buy Bud Light, but Blue Light comes in 28 packs and is the same price.

Re: "Magic Number" of beers.
 

2nd that, as well as Melatonin, which can be purchased at any drug store or even Wegmans, It is a naturally occurring hormone that gets the sleep cycle going.

and Genny is not a garbage beer, it is a local beer here in rochester, I would have thrown Pabst Blue Ribbon on the list.

Prescription required?

Re: "Magic Number" of beers.
 

nope, it is in with the vitamins

Re: "Magic Number" of beers.
 

'Stones are a staple in my fridge, fantastic beer. :sl :tu

Re: "Magic Number" of beers.
 

I was going to dress up as Keith Stone for Halloween last year. Ended up just going trick or treating with the kids instead.

Re: "Magic Number" of beers.
 

Dont get me wrong. I enjoy all beer (with the exception of Busch), I love Keys, just got to be in a different state of mind. With Keys, I tend to drink straight through the "tired" stage.

Re: "Magic Number" of beers.
 

A little Tequila in him....

...a little Captain in you? :D

Re: "Magic Number" of beers.
 

Normally there is only a majic number with beer that causes one to search out a bathroom.

Re: "Magic Number" of beers.
 

"Labatt's Blue Light"

4% ABV is your problem.

If you are going to try and knock yourself out with booze, try something stronger than one of the weaker diet beers out there.

Re: "Magic Number" of beers.
 

Ha. I'm not trying pass out, but just get to that warm, cozy, sleepy state. Again, it's usually 2-3. But 6 or 7 I'll be buzzing, 10-12 is drunk, and everything from that point on is just gravy. My freshmen year it was NBD to drown a 30 in an evening and still be alright, but those days are longggg behind me.

Re: "Magic Number" of beers.
 

With whiskey, he won't have to get up so much during the night to piss, and his magic number drops to 1. :banger

Re: "Magic Number" of beers.
 

Good call. And whiskey is low on calories, so it's kind of like working out. I am a fan of bourbon. My friends tend to make fun of me saying "Man, you do pick all of the expensive hobbies, cigars... bourbon..."

Re: "Magic Number" of beers.
 

It's the closest I ever get to working out. :al

Re: "Magic Number" of beers.
 

I guess you like to piss a lot, eh?
