How do you know you've had too much booze and need to go to bed?

I've just had this discussion with DH. I often think I'm having a lovely jolly time and we should pour another glass for everyone, but apparently my end game points are

Asking someone to sing a duet (especially meatloaf)

Wanting to reenact the Despacito music video.

Obviously when you want to sing Rene and Renato Smile
Otherwise you are good for most of the night

Galvantula · 05/03/2022 20:29

If any sort of dancing occurs in public it's gone too far for me.

Or I fall asleep.

vampirewellness · 05/03/2022 20:33

Yes, indeed falling asleep in public is bad.

Once I think shots are a good idea, I'm probably already a few drinks over-served!

BlueSpottedGiraffe · 05/03/2022 20:35

When I start telling DH to order shots!

MermaidEyes · 05/03/2022 20:35

When I'm so tired I start to feel irrationally annoyed and wish everyone would piss off 😁

OH MY GOD YOU ARE ME!!

When you wet yourself it’s probably time to say night-night 🤪

Cluckycluck · 05/03/2022 20:37

When I start to rap or worse, I attempt to jazz scat

PuppyPowerTool · 05/03/2022 20:38

When I can't feel my teeth anymore

Squiff70 · 05/03/2022 20:38

When I'm holding onto the floor

Flossingisforteeth · 05/03/2022 20:39

When I fall asleep - embarrassing lightweight here!

zhivagodr · 05/03/2022 20:40

When I sit on the toilet for a pee and I’m dizzy

Cross post, sorry!

Yep something like this. If I’m singing it’s grand, if I’m spinning it’s over.

If you're keen on tap dancing to Minnie the Moocher while drunken tap dancing then you may be my evil twin

I'm terrible for falling asleep. One night (a very very long time ago) I fell asleep propped up against a giant speaker in a heavy metal club.

I can feel my eyes going now once I have had enough. Finally learning 😂😂

TomAllenWife · 05/03/2022 20:47

When I sit on the toilet and talk to a film crew doing a documentary on me talking to myself

ShirleyPhallus · 05/03/2022 20:48

Yes! Grin

I also love to drink rap and tap dance. I think there needs to be a party here tbh

pradavilla · 05/03/2022 20:51

I usually start feeling sick before I'm even drunk so that pretty much stops me from having more. I've even been sick when I've only felt a bit tipsy. Basically a total light weight! Wld actually quite like to just get rather drunk without being ill 😕

NeverChange · 05/03/2022 20:57

When I start to believe I can sing (I'm tone deaf!) or when I start to think I can dance!

Unfortunately alcohol makes me think it's lack of confidence rather than skill :-(

I read this as 'shoes' and thought you start bossing him around saying "I want black heels, nothing too high or pointy, size 6, budget £40, get onto it pronto!!" 😁
