I can chug two beers maybe have a third and if I stop I'm lights out in 30 minutes..

Liquor. Usually whiskey and diet soda. I can chug the first. Sip the rest of them. Maybe about 4 a hour. keeps me awake and the buzz is a lot smoother, best way to describe it than beer.

oh yeah. then its definately the carbs. try having two donuts with the wiskey and see how you do. or like two servings of oat meal. alternatively try two light beers.

Sounds delicious. I'm down.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

just make sure to scarf the donuts as fast as you drink the beer. so if you get a beer and drink it down real fast and then have another. you want to have a shot and scarf a donut and have another shot and then eat another donut.

Brown sugar and Irish whiskey in oatmeal is actually amazing.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

os sure pouring alcohol into your breakfast. totally not an alcoholic with that behaviour :). Im sorta wondering with like rice and oatmeal and other things that absorb the liquid around them. like they are to volatile to stove cook it but if you thermos cook it with 50% boiling water and really warm alcohol and seal it tight. like all other ingredients in first and then boiling water right at the end. mmmmmm.

Carbs in the beer + the caffeine and sugar in the soda, I’d bet

Could be how much you've eaten prior to drinking. That can definitely make a difference.
