My alcohol tolerance

[Teysa]

Count me in as another who gets a buzz from a wine cooler. I'm sure the fact that I rarely drink doesn't help any with my alcohol tolerance or lack thereof. I got drunk once when I was a teenager, decided I didn't like the results, and was a lot more careful after that. (Long story short, I was in Germany at the time so I was legal, but it was still stupid on my part.)

I haven't done much drinkies in a while... other than at a friend's 30th a couple of months ago. But when I did drink (out), I'd get raised eyes from not having the same drink twice in a row (spirits, of course). Still never had a real hangover.. worst I had was feeling like crap from bugger all sleep, and having to get up early (ie, no headaches or sickness, etc). It was that morning I found my 'hangover' cure... grapefruit juice and pate. (we had a cocktail party the night/morning before). Grapefruit juice is loaded with Vit C and other nice stuff, pate is full of B group vitamins!

I like my body, in that it will say "Ok, let's empty the stomach now".. done.. ok, we can drink again

But I don't like getting drunk now... I'm a control freak

I once had a mega night out on Aftershock, alcopops and Absinthe.

Yup, still alive... and no hangover the next morning. Just weird, psychadelic Yellow Submarine-esq dreams from the green stuff. O.o Stay away from triple A nights!

I also have never had a hangover. Then again, I drink absurd amounts of water and diet sodas even on nights I ingest alcohols. Since most of a hangover is actually dehydration...

I have a very high tolerance. It once took an entire bottle of vodka and two wine coolers to get me buzzed. To make matters weirder, my brother said that I had a GREATER grasp of the social situation and sounded smarter than normal.

I've actually gotten so drunk that I've puked. It's happened 2 times.

The first time was in college and I was drinking with my now ex-bf and some of this friends. I started off with a whole bottle of something I can't remember now but it was sweet and tasted good, then I had a can of "beast" some sort of cheap beer, and a shot of Jack Daniels Whiskey. Let me tell you ... I was siiiiick!

The second time was 6 years ago, I'd just stopped breastfeeding. I hadn't had any alcohol in over a year & I was at a party with Mr. Rum's friends. I got sloshed. I was wearing a blond wig (I was dressed as Dolly Parton 'cos it was a Halloween party) and Mr. Rum actually held my hair while I puked at home.

actually held my hair while I puked at home.

I've had someone do that for me

I've done it a couple of times, but I always keep my hair back, so I don't need someone to do it for me.

I've never gotten drunk. Ever. Last time I drank at a party, I had 4 mixed drinks, numerous jager shots, and 7 smirnoffs, and I was buzzed and I lost a bit of equalibrium, but it wasn't any different than if I lock my knees and try to stand up (I have terrible knees).

But, of course, that same night a friend went into seizure, and I had to play EMT, since I was the only person there with any medical training. Sobered me up quick. haha

But I hate having a large tolerance. I WANT to be a cheap drunk, maybe 3-4 drinks. I've never felt a loss of inhibition, or a loss of motor skills, other than my stutter being more pronounced.

I have, but it took me an entire 24 hours solid drinking to get there. -.-
