With Western Slope On Tap coming up this weekend, I wanted to provide a public service to you and help you remember the impending doom our livers could be up against and, of course, the late night texts that are bound to happen.

So me, being me, I looked around to see if there were actual "stages of drunk," so whom better to ask than a college student right?

Levi Meyer who is a student at CMU told me that he had to enlighten me on what he calls the “six stages of drunkenness” one is likely to experience while drinking.

Tell me if any of you fall into one of these six stages?

    The “Oooh I’m feelin a buzz" stage:

    The first stage most consumers of alcohol attain to acquire is the buzzed stage. During this stage, the individual experiences a sort of euphoria and uplifted spirits. “I actually don’t like the taste of alcohol, but once I’m buzzed it doesn’t really matter,” Levi told us.

    The “This feels good, let’s drink more” stage:

    An interesting note of alcohol consumption is that as you down a drink or two, you want to keep your fun-loving buzz going. This leads us to the second stage, where you might go to your nightly budget and charge to your credit card because it SEEMS like a great idea. Once you’ve broken the seal, stage two then turns into.

    The “Pleasantly drunk” stage:

    This stage can hit the individual differently, depending on body weight, alcohol tolerance, etc. But once achieved, the third stage is unmistakable. It is likely a ton of dialogue will be dispersed during this stage, including some information that before this point was top secret. “I try my best to keep myself within this type of intoxication, but my mouth can get me into trouble,” Levi said. Time can often fly during this stage, and if one isn’t too careful, becomes obsolete because the user becomes.

    The “Invincible” stage:

    This stage is for kings and queens, the heroes and the hunters. When a user consumes enough alcohol to feel “invincible,” they are to inevitably accept their drunk fate and stare fear in the eyes. It is thanks to this stage that we have “the morning after pill” and “Emergen-C.” “When I’m at the invincible level, I will do and say what my rational mind simply would not have done,” Levi told us.

    The “I’m quiet because I’m too drunk” stage:

    This stage occurs when you have suddenly realized how drunk you actually are. Speech is likely to be severely impaired, which results in a personal “silent treatment.” Friends and family are likely to be concerned, but you’re more concerned about keeping quiet to “appear less wasted.”

    The “Drunken Munchies” stage:

    “The drunken munchies,” stage is your body’s attempt to undergo the function of survival. If you’ve made it this far, chances are you are very hungry. Have faith in food and water, it will be your ticket to a less miserable morning. “The most important pieces of advice in this stage are this: don’t burn down your house, and don’t forget to tip the pizza delivery guy or gal, even if they can’t understand you,” Levi said.
