    Drink tolerence: confused
    I'm a bit confused. Was out with new colleagues. They were astonished how much I had while still able to hold up debates. The next morning, they were even more surprised I was early in the meeting saying 'he knows how to put drinks away', 'dark horse', etc. (not mockingly)

    My tolerance is considerably higher than my friends, at the same time I believe in strong responsibility, and know my limit. I probably shouldn't have drunk infront of new colleagues (friends are used to it) - but for me that was cake. If you get easily drunk - its good to know your limit. However, what do you do when its the opposite?

    Thanks!

    It's mixing drinks and drinking on an empty stomach that usually gets people, not volume.

    I don't get what your problem is. You can put away a lot of alcohol, unless you work colleagues are expecting you to do 'man vs booze' type challenges then I don't see the issue.

    You know it's rare that people annoy me on the internet, but you seem to do so with ease.

    You really shouldn't let things get to you so much. :hugs:

    You initiated this conversation, not me. Yet it's me who's annoying you.... Hmm.

    I quoted you, i didn't directly write to you or ask you anything.

    Anyway let's forget the whole thing and end this petty conversation.
