When do you know you've had enough to drink?

I.e what behaviour makes you or those around you know it's time to stop/leave?

I'm a harmless, happy drunk. Annoying at times I'm sure, but I just lose inhibitions and become over friendly, probably a bit loud and giggly.

I've only very rarely been ill through drink and when I have, every time, it's been preceded by a period of sitting on laps.

If I sit on a lap, send me home Grin

Can I say, this is intended to be lighthearted ahead of us (hopefully) getting back to big nights out. What's the point when you know you've had enough?

When your lips start to tingle or feel numb, stop or slow way down. Continued drinking leads to madness. Grin

When I want Tequila!

I’m a LOVELY, delightful drunk (I’m told by everyone who knows me- not just the rose tinted glasses), but if I’ve had too much to drink I do throw up the next day. A lot.

I get a slightly detached, out of body feeling and it strikes me with a Damascene clarity that I can either keep drinking and puke, or stop and probably stay merry for another 90 mins, and then get a cab home, make some toast and be fine the next day.

Since I had DS I go home.

Pre-DS? Just pushed on through Grin

When I go to the toilet and rest my head against the loo roll holder/cubicle wall while I wee!

Too much to drink just makes me feel really tired. Not tired and emotional, just sleepy. My limit is about 3 drinks and it's been years since I was drunk or hungover, thank God.

When the room starts to spin a bit. Or do hen my lips feel a bit weird

When I stop really tasting what I'm drinking. Might as well switch to water at that point.

When I think its a good idea to start doing shots because it's nearly time to go home. For some reason I think its a good idea to drink as much as possible in a very shot space of time. God knows why!

When I switch from relaxed to actually feeling the alcohol. That is far enough for me.
