How much before you are drunk?

i have a lot of friends who can drink like a fish and still be sober, i always feel like a light weight. what sort of amount of alcohol can you drink before you are drunk?
when i went out last night i had the following... is it normal...

before i went out(drink at home with mates)
2 bacardi breezers and two malibu and coke.
then, when i was out, four g'n't, 2 long vodka and black shot, a jug of sex on the beach (minus a glass for my mate). I was staggering home, but i felt aware of what was going on, not totally hammered.

what like are you lads? just dont want folk thinking i cant hold drink or that i am a fish and well rehearsed at drinking... how much do people drink when they go out?

You don't want people thinking you can't hold your drink, or that you're a fish? What do you want? :confused:

I don't drink. Try it sometimes. It's nice to know when you're having a good time.

a glass of sherry.

How much you can drink depends mostly on your sex and weight. If you do mind me asking, are you male or female and how much do you weigh?

It depends on how much you've eaten, how many different types there are etc...

When I've eaten I can drink quite a lot and still be able to think, but an empty stomach gets me in a bad way.

Completely depends, on pretty much everything. I've been out and had 4 pints and been pretty merry.

But I've also been out on a bar crawl and managed 17 pints, and still knew what was going on at the end - I was pretty well prepared for it though.

Must be a northern thing.

wow that seems a lot to drink and not be totally hammered, id say you were definately a fish. Im tipsy after a few glasses of wine, and a couple of wkds on top of that and i would be properley drunk, but you did say lads and im not a lad

I get tipsy after about 10 units (thats 5 or so pints). But I only really get hammered after about 35-40units (thats the same number of shots or half the number of pints). Otherwise I am able to sort myself out if I need to and am not totally catatonic - I'm aware of whats going on and can be sober if I need to.

Don't f**king complain about being a lightweight!! It means you can spend so much less on drink and still be as pissed as everyone else!

hahaha; on a bad day i can literally have a large glass of wine and feel it. Alternatively i can drink the whole bottle, several mojitos and whatever shots might happen to come my way....but then i wouldnt call that responsible drinking....id still feel it round about the wine mark...
Generally i am recognised as an utter lightweight :biggrin:

but it makes drinking cheaper......

i guess it depends on your alcohol tolerance 'n'all - for my 18th i had about 5 beers about 6 long vodka's and cokes two apple thing shots 4 shots of sambucca and a dirty pint - yeah the next day did not feature me very much!

but with the exception of that i don't usually drink that much maybe about 8 units a month or so and i've only really been drinking heavy for 1 month (since i turned 18)

With me it depends how fast I drink something. If I have wine I drink it slowly and never really feel the effects but when I have something like a large bottle of some form of alcopop I tend to down it in about 10 mins, go lightheaded then feel pissed lol.

I think different drinks get you also. Im 20yo male, bout 13stone, if i drink a pint i cant walk like i normally would, people can tell ive drunk by looking at me, about 4 pints i get nasty (not physicaly, just truthful.) That said i can quite easily drink 4 double voddys, (bout the same alcohol content as 4 pints) and you cant tell ive had a drink. Works out well, want to get drunk quick/cheap go for beer, want to be out all night stick to my spirits!
