People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
- If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

I'm in Santa Fe, only a mile and a half above sea level. Wanna go lower in altitude? Guess I'll drink double. And since you invited me, you're paying, yes?
I’ve never been at high altitudes. Do you get drunk faster or just get nauseated/tired more easily?
I don't think so, but above 6,000 feet oxygen deprivation shows effects. It won't effect alcohol metabolism. The high plateau folks are just stroking themselves off, they can't outdrink anyone because of their altitude.
Yup, Santa Fe is at 7000ft. At those altitudes, a single drink is worth about 2, and you sober up slower. 4 beers is considered a long night of drinking, and must be done with water breaks and food.
I don't think that's actually a thing, I'm at 600 ft above sea level, and I would drink you under the table.
