Re: Spinoff: How much do you drink at/before a show?

Usually a solid 6 or 7 during the show. I have very rarely lost memories and never during a dmb show, so that's not a realistic concern.

    I don't drink at all at shows... I like to be perfectly sober and attentive.

    I'm 18 so yeah. But I wouldn't really want to anyway. I like remembering everything that happens.

    I get hammered in the parking lot, drink more in the show, drink more after the show, then pass out in my car.

    But I don't bother anybody.

    It depends on a variety of factors, mostly whether I'm driving home, being driven home/to a hotel/someone's house, or walking back to a campsite.

    Anywhere from 6-8. Been to shows sober. And really messed up. On the verge of buzzed/drunk is the best so you have a good time amd remember everything.

    4-5 range. Light/moderate drinking during the day at the campground by Alpine Valley and/or in the lots at other venues, then smoke during the shows.

    Probably about an 11.

    No other way to enjoy a Seven opener than to be so shitcanned that I forget it ever happened.

    Re: Spinoff: How much do you drink at/before a show?

    I'm usually at about a level 4 walking through the gate, level 6 by the time DMB comes on, possibly up to level 7 or 8 five or six songs in, and then back down to the 1-3 range by the time show is over. I've been in the 9-10 range a few times over the years, but not in a long time.

    I almost enjoy hanging out/drinking some beers in the lot with my wife, brother, and his wife before the show as much as the actual show.

    Having a good buzz going makes the less desirable songs so much better and fun. Good shit.

    Re: Spinoff: How much do you drink at/before a show?

    Most times I drink nothing, others I'll drink during the tailgate and have between 2-10 beers. Never drink anything in the venue, and only once did I get drunk. Charlotte 2010 I had about 13 beers during the day and as we made our way to the venue on the party bus I threw up a few times. Sobered up enough that during the show I was fine and remember every minute. I'll never get that drunk before a show.

    Paying venue prices:

    First 2 beers...."Damn what a ripoff!!!"
    3rd & 4th beer..."That taste good...I'm catching a little buzz!"
    5+..."Ya know $12 bucks for a beer ain't bad!"

    I'm actually surprised at the amount of 1's here... I swear I'm the only one sober at most shows.

    25% of Ants are 1's... I can see that. But the general, overall population at any given show... probably more like 5%

    It varies for me but on average I'd give myself an 7. Could be 5 beers, could be 12.

    I get a nice buzz on, but haven't been shit faced at a show in a while. The one exception was Cville '12. The hubs wasn't feeling good so he used his drink quota for me...damn. The 13 hour drive home the next day was not a pleasant experience. Never again, I'm too old for that shit.

    Pretty much me exactly as well. Depending on the day/show/tailgate, I'm usually in that range as well and closer to 4 than 6. Though I don't have the stamina I used to, at 6'5, I could a put lot away years ago and be mostly unaffected.

    Around a 5, decent buzz. Usually start just before they go on and then manage a few big beers throughout the show.

    The whole "I want to remember the show later" concept just doesn't hold water after a few weeks/months, whether I'm drinking or not. Sure, you might remember the general idea of how good it was and what songs stood out but rarely do precise details stay around for long...at least for me.

    So I figure enjoy the short term!

    I think the 4-5's in here are probably true 4-5's, but I completely agree with the overall statement.

    The people you have to worry about are the ones that could care less about the band + 5 drunk. Get bored and then annoying.

    I am a solid 7 when I walk in the venue. Drunk and happy as hell and all I'm thinking about is DMB.

    Back in the mid 90's, early 2000's, I used to drink a lot at shows, as it coincided with my youth. Sadly, I forget seeing more shows than I remember. I used to wake up the next day and have to check the setlist because I forgot what they played. Nowadays, I pre-game but only have a few inside.

    I'm pretty low on the alcohol scale, prolly like a 1 maybe even zero. I'll have maybe a beer or two before the show, but I won't pay venue price for beer and the feeling of your bladder seemingly about to explode while there's a song that you don't wanna leave during is the worst

    I do very much enjoy getting weeded though and will always be pretty high on that scale
