[QUOTE="Mochyc"][QUOTE="psychobrew"][QUOTE="Murj"]

I had some drinks last night and I'm kinda sad to say that I didn't even get that tipsy. I had Mcdonalds before I went out (which is like a regular thing) but I decided on a milkshake with my meal instead of fanta. I think it was because of the milkshake that made me more tolerant. I had 4 and didn't feel much. I'm usually a lightweight so yeah lol.

Anyway, how tolerant are you?

Alcohal tolerance is a sign of being an alcohalic. And an empty stomach does not increase alcohal's effects, it just makes it so you feel it faster.

Alcohol tolerance is not a sign of being an alcoholic :?. There are several factors that affect alcohol tolerance (for example weight). Also, drinking after having eaten will make the alcohol take longer to reach your blood, and by then you might have (depending on how much you drink and how fast you drink it) an easier time to regulate your alcohol level, therefore limiting it's effects.

An increasing tolerance of alcohal by an individual is most definitely a sign of alcohalism. And yes it's true that food slows the absorbtion rate, but you've still consumed the same amount of alcohal and your blood alcohal levels will eventually be the same. You can also drink more (and faster) on an empty stomach and you do feel drunker faster because it hits you faster. The end result, however, is the same, though your brain may have more time to adapt to the intixication levels when you have food in your stomach. The way you regulate your alcohal levels is by regulating the amount you drink.

I suppose it sort of depends on the circumstances (like how much I'd eaten that day, etc.), but it usually takes a drink or two for me to start to feel something. It takes several for me to feel 'smashed' though.

Last one in the pole, sometimes I can have a 4-5 pints and be pretty messed up but I have spent time in Corfu drinking from 6PM to 4AM and still be able to walk home without falling down a cliff.

I usually just take a shot and leave it at that just to keep me giddy. I don't drink enough to know really, but I assume it wouldn't take much.

God knew what he was doing when he made me. I was born without a pancreas, appendix, or gallbladder. Instead, he gave me an extra kidney, liver, and bladder. He just...knew

I consider myself to be a bit of a lightweight. 5-6 beer in 2 hours usually gets me fairly drunk.

Considering I've only drank once. It took about two glasses of this 35% stuff to get me drunk. 4 to get really drunk.

depends what I'm drinking, the only time I've ever been drunk was when I was 14 (I'm a girl) and I downed a pint of Jagger in 10 minutes because I thought it tasted horrible..and I would have been moderately fine if I'd left it at that, but once the alcohol started circulating, I was trying to show off (I was at a party with people that were 3-4 years older than me that I was trying to impress) so I started mixing it with beer and whatever anyone wanted to share. Learned my lesson, split from that group and worried about impressing myself instead of others. So I'm not sure, I've never let myself get to that point. I tend to drink a lot of water while drinking though so that let's me go longer.

About 3 beers, and you can call me woozy. Smashed? 6-8 beers, perhaps. But that depends on the beverage (of course) and how much I've eaten.

[QUOTE="rawsavon"]Way too ****ing high. A normal night would be double digit beers, double digit shots, and a couple mixed drinks

My maximum tolerance ( keeping it all down) is this. on average though, I just drink enough to get a good buzz going. usually is ~10 shots of 80+ proof.

I'm definitely a middle weight probably around 7-8 will get me drunk enough to not want to continue drinking. And I've seen both ends of the spectrum at school and I can tell you both amuse me greatly for different reasons.

Anyway, how tolerant are you?

Murj

Are you talking about 4 beers, 4 glasses of wine, 4 mixed drinks OR 4 shots? I normally go through 1.75L or a half gallon of whiskey per week (give or take a few days). 6 - 7 shots puts me in happy land without making a mess. 10 or more & it's "Bye everybody!" :D

Edit: Even though I say 6 to 7 shots, I don't really drink out of a shot glass anymore. Too much work trying to measure it. My Homer Simpson mug is 12oz (I don't have a sommelier whiskey glass yet but then for the whiskey I'm drinking...... I don't need one). :P I fill it half way up with whiskey which is about 6oz & I do that twice within the hour. I know a shot is about 1 to 1.5 depending on which bartender you talk to.... so give or take I'm doing 8 shots within the hour followed by at least 4 glasses of water.

High, have not yet found my limit. And I have tried, last night I had 5 beers, half a litre of a drink consisting of kool-aid, jager and vodka. I had 2 glasses of champagne and a vodka and cranberry juice. (It was my grad night) and I feel just fine today, although I was sufficiently drunk.

I think it's rather odd, too. My thought on the drug policy was that we can't advocate for their usage. Thank you, by the way. I don't want to get banned after just registering for the site. :P

Four to five beers over a 60-90 minute period will get me drunk yet still fully functional (that is my limit, I don't drink more after that point). I don't drink anything other than beer btw.

Well, 10+ and I'm good and drunk, but in all honesty it depends how fast I drink them, in the course of a night I could easily do 20 drinks, each with an ounce of alcohol, or a shots worth of alcohol.

If we're talking beers, then it takes me quite a few before I feel anything. I usually just drink a mix of the hard stuff, but I need a full stomach before doing so lol.

To get nice and drunk over a couple of hours, at least 7. To get smashed over a couple of hours? At least 10.

I've seen both ends of the spectrum of alcohol tolerance. For example, when my Mom drinks a glass of wine (one or two), she is gone. I mean she is giggling, laughing, everything is hilarious & she falls asleep. While some of my girlfriend's family in Japan who are literally half my size can drink me under the table.

Personally, I'd rather be at the tolerance of my Mom since it will be cheaper on my wallet (if I'm at home) but when going out & drinking with friends, I'd rather be at the level of those in Japan.
