My alcohol tolerance

[Nyoibo]

No, I'm not a cadbury, the opposite in fact, 10 standard drinks and I'm barely buzzed, especially when I'm doing the no no and wanting to just get drunk, I was hoping my alcohol tolerance had gone down more than this.

I hate those noobs who will drink like 2 drinks and then act like they just did a sheet of acid or something. "OH MAN I'M SO DRUNK! LOOK! THERE'S DINOSAURS OVER THERE! OH MY GOD!"

[Lace Neil Singer]

My alcohol tolerance is incredibly high, due to me being a large framed woman who's also tall. It takes me at least ten drinks before I'm pissed, and more than that to be paraletic. Hence my habit of downing shots so that I can catch up with friends. -.-

Despite what my user name would suggest, two drinks back to back usually do me in. I'm not tall and I have a slender build.

I'm not a drinking "noob", either. I'm a regular drinker. I have a glass of wine with dinner every day, and then often another an hour or two later if I'm watching TV. But I can't have more than that, and I have to pace myself, because I don't like to be drunk.

I threw a party this past weekend and really cut loose. I had 3 drinks and was absolutely sloshed.

I will admit I am a lite-weight, but the plus side is I sober up fast. I will get a buzz off of one glass of wine. If I have two I will be classified as drunk.

I am throwing up drunk after about 4 glasses of wine. I am absolutely a cheap date. But then, I'm a pretty short girl with no addiction history, so it's not unexpected.

Im a fairly light weight, two drinks and Im pretty buzzed.
Three drinks and Im set for the entire night.
four drinks or more I either throw up or fall asleep.

How much does size really have to do with it? I'm 5' 10" and over 250 lbs, but I'm a "lightweight" when it comes to alcohol. Two beers for a little buzz, three to five to get me schnockered.

[fireheart17]

Norton, there's a whole host of factors that can affect drinking and how fast you sober up. I can't say, I'm not a noobie per se, I just don't get absolutely plastered. Most I've had has been around nearly 3 standard drinks and I was more sleepy than anything. (My friends found it rather funny that I fell asleep after 2 drinks the first time I had anything)
But I generally alternate one alcoholic drink, one non-alcoholic drink, and I usually have food before and after I drink...

I get a buzz off a wine cooler.

What category does that put me?

[Nyoibo]

A category all of your own.


To get falling down or puking drunk (which has only ever happened once) I would go through something like 30+ standard drinks in a night, at least when I was drinking regularly, you know those big jug type bottles of Captain Morgan (Mmm, nummy nums) I have been known to drink a full one of them in a nights bender.

Of course now that I'm back in Australia alcohol is just too damn expensive to do that.

[Lace Neil Singer]

I also don't get hangovers; nearly thirty and never had one in my life. I think that's more to do with the fact that I only ever drink clear spirits when I go out, not beer wine or whiskey.

[AdminAssistant]

My preferred drink is whiskey, and I rarely get hangovers from it. I've tried clear liquors, but never really come across any I liked. I don't care for vodka, gin is ICKY, white rum is okay, I guess.

People look at me funny because I always drink mixed drinks, usually a dark cola and whiskey or a whiskey sour...occasionally a margarita. I don't like beer and wine makes me sleepy, so...yeah. I usually order single, tall, so that I don't get sloshed before dinner's over, though.

[AFPheonix]

Anymore drinking out costs so much, we just drink at home. And curse my roommate, she makes some damn good drinks that get me absolutely plastered.

Heh. I think all of us spent New Years Day going, "never again. Oh god. Shoot me now"

[tropicsgoddess]

I have a fairly low alcohol tolerance. The most I can remember drinking was 5 drinks in a row and boy was I hammered. Other than that usually 1 or 2 drinks and I'm out like a light.
