How easily can you get drunk?

I see myself as a lightweight. I can only take a maximum of 3 pints before i get tipsy, a fourth 1 would probably knock me out :rolleyes:

.

I did get totally pissed on 2 tequilas anda vodka though on holiday.

My favourite beers are : Carlsberg, Fosters, stellas. :biggrin:

Well, a mickey of rum usually gets me buzzed. A 2/6 will have me pissed.

One time though i polished off a mickey of vodka in 10 min. I was pissed.

i have a high alcohol threshold - think it is more 'experience' in drink though. Therefore, I know how to behave as to not to appear drunk.

i always end up drinking straight spirits and people tell me i'm stupid :rolleyes:

but i can't get proper drunk, i suppose it's because i don't really mix my drinks :p:

I'm very heavyweight. Unless I have A LOT of money - I can't get drunk in a pub / bar unless I've been drinking before I come out. A 700ml bottle of vodka / Jack will get me pretty drunk, or about 12 pints. But I can go a full litre of 40% spirit without passing out or being sick.

It's a combination of the fact that I'm tall (6'2), male, come from a long line of heavy drinkers, and the 2nd time I got drunk it was on a full bottle of Jack (I nearly died that night, fell on my head and got a concussion) and that jump-started my tolerance levels.

I;d personally rather be a lightweight. For one it's cheaper... and secondly, for me to get drunk I need to drink loads... which equates to KILLER hangovers.

Ahh yeah, drink mixing is another matter. Snakebite with a malt whiskey in it will f*ck any man up on 3 - 4 pints. And the headache the next day is truly unholy.

mmm it depends...I once had 18 glasses of vodka with lemonade and I wasnt even tipsy.

But on friday, I had two full glasses of absolut vodka and got smashed...although I guess that the fact that I hadn't eaten anything for the last 15 hours AND that i drank the two full glasses in a space of about 3mins did not help :rolleyes:

Pretty standard. I'm learning to handle my drink. I can manage to drink half a bottle of buckfast without getting too drunk now whereas before that would have me flat on my back.

heheh, "Smirnoff Ice". Lemonade :biggrin:

. I know a 20 year old guy who still can't drink anything else. And he claims to be straight.

Shotting vodka is nasty. But only because straight vodka tastes like sh*t.

I tip my hat to you young ned padawan - I was retching after a sip of Buckfast. The about 2 years later I tried it again, thinking that it couldn't have been as bad as I remembered... and again I was almost sick. That stuff is truly hideous.

It gets better after a while. :p:

That's all i've been drinking lately. :eek:

I was rather proud. Last week i drank a full bottle to myself and i was drunk. But i know people who have been sick and all sorts of stuff after that. But no, not me. :cool:
