What kind of drunk are you and how much does it take?

I'm useless at drinking, always have been. Can easily feel very drunk on 3 glasses of wine.
When drunk I'm completely and utterly disinhibited. Really open to the power of a stupid suggestion. Very touchy feely, love everyone.
Then likely to fall asleep really quickly. I have no staying power.
I'm curious about others!...

I'm generally like you but on the few occasions I've been drunk during lockdown, I've just been more argumentative and throwing up after a few.

I have a very light head. Only takes a half bottle of wine to get me tipsy. If I was to carry on and drink the whole bottle the room would be spinning and I would be really sleepy(but hate it due to the spinny room).
I dont think my personality changes. I might get a little more talkative in company but since Im usually driving to parties that is a very rare occasion.

Two large glasses of white wine and I'm tipsy, three and in visibly...well, drunk.

I go from being a wholly competent, confident sort of person; to being like a tiny vole like creature, all tiny paws, faux stupidity and high pitched voice. It's fucking weird.

Happy and relaxed two drinks in. Sleepy if I start to sober so staying drunk is key

I'm a rubbish drunk!
2 or 3 drinks and I'm a happy drunk
4 drinks and I'm Whitney Houston/Celine Dion (all singing and dancing)
5 drinks and I just want to get a takeaway and go to bed
6+ drinks and I'm being sick (in a taxi, in the bathroom, in bed into a bucket)

The last time I was drunk was 29th March 2019 and I conceived DD the night before, and I've had no more than 2 drinks since!

I've only been drunk twice in my life, when I was young. I don't drink often, and when I do, it's no more than a glass of wine.

Both times, I was happy and bubbly to people. Both times, I was violently ill the next day.

Pleasantly tipsy on 2 glasses of wine, properly pissed on a bottle.

Could keep drinking and maintain my faculties, never puke, but would make poor choices and feel hellish the next day

It depends what I'm drinking.

Red wine - soporific and contemplative
White wine - hyper and talkative, dancey.
Gin - talkative although can turn acerbic and sometimes a bit nasty if I've had more than 3 or 4.
Cider or cocktails - best dancer in the world ever.
Beer, prosecco, champagne = vom so I don't drink those things!

Generally I'm a happy friendly drunk and I tend to get to a certain level of drunk after a couple of drinks and stay there, so I don't get double vision or slur etc. I don't get any drunker and don't vomit.

I used to be able to drink quite a bit - though often used to vom on the way home! I could get a bit aggressive with whisky or Long Island Iced Tea. Normally stated out a happy bunny, then someone would annoy me. Not in a fighting everyone way though.

Now I get sleepy after one or two glasses. I never drink on my own anyway (unless it is Christmas -followed shortly by my Birthday but then I normally just get a can of jack and Coke or something.

I can certainly do without it most of the time but I do love Cocktails.

So, to sum up, a sleepy drunk!
