...to think being drunk actually feels lovely!

Not really given it much consideration before! But tonight, after 3 large glasses of wine and not much food all day, and some lovely company, I'm realizing how nice it feels to be a bit tipsy! Can see why it's addictive!

Oh - we’ll get flamed - but I love feeling drunk

waxy1 · 23/01/2019 22:39

Cheers!

Geordiegirl79 · 23/01/2019 22:40

Ha ha ha bring a bit drunk feels great...the hangovers now are a killer though!

MrsBungle · 23/01/2019 22:40

I like the tipsy feeling but I can’t stand the actual drunk feeling!

SluggishSnail · 23/01/2019 22:41

Yes it does! It's lovely. I drink wine most nights.

ZanyMobster · 23/01/2019 22:42

Tipsy is lovely, absolutely plastered is lovely it's the bit just before plastered where you know you have drunk way too much and it's not going to feel good is the worst kind of drunk Grin

BabySharkDoDoDoDoDoDoDo · 23/01/2019 22:42

Well I've been in tipsy for a while! Long may it stay! ;) (Not so looking forward to tomorrow though!)

Just to add, enough wine to be tipsy is good (3 glasses is ideal), enough to be properly drunk, not so much!

Lavenderee · 23/01/2019 22:44

Tipsy is ace. Early stage drink is nice and relaxing and happy. Anything where balance is going, shit starts being talked and inhibitions cease to exist is no longer ace. 3 glasses is a good serving for me and that’s my limit or I’m talking absolute shite to anyone who will listen

Elephantina · 23/01/2019 22:44

Gah I haven't been tipsy or drunk since I was 17. I overdid it as a teenager and couldn't tolerate it any more suddenly, couldn't get remotely tipsy ever again and only ever felt gross and sick and lost feeling in my joints when I drank alcohol! I miss it and it was nearly 30 years ago.

Drogosnextwife · 23/01/2019 22:47

Yes but the next few days for me make the tipsy or drunk feeling not worth it.

DareDevil223 · 23/01/2019 22:54

I rarely drink and am a complete lightweight but a couple of glasses of proscecco or the like makes me slightly buzzy and giggly and that feels lovely.

ashtrayheart · 23/01/2019 22:55

Yeah I used to love it way too much. But sober feels brilliant to me now Smile

Rodenhide · 23/01/2019 23:07

Yup.

QuietContraryMary · 23/01/2019 23:11

I don't like drinking too excess at some sort of occasion and wanting to vomit. It's unpleasant.

But a few glasses of wine at home every night is another matter and is only pleasurable

garethsouthgatesmrs · 23/01/2019 23:14

yes but its not worth the feeling the next day.

thenightsky · 23/01/2019 23:18

I love being tipsy, but its a difficult state to maintain. One more drink could send you into totally pissed territory, or it could just keep you on a level. You never know til its too late.

I'm on dry Jan, so another week to go before I can practice this balancing act again.

HildaZelda · 23/01/2019 23:21

I don't like being drunk (especially not the next day!) but just tipsy enough that you feel nice and relaxed is lovely. That's generally about 3 glasses of wine for me.
4 is dangerous. That's when I start talking shite Grin

mywigwamneedsnewflaps · 23/01/2019 23:21

Hate the feeling of being drunk , actually hate any alcohol sensations , try to avoid completely

HouseOfToys · 23/01/2019 23:25

It's the tipsy fuzzy happy chatty stage that I love. But that version of me doesn't know when to stop so turns into a sleepy drunk with a cracking hangover. every time i do it when I get the rare opportunity to go out

Doghorsechicken · 23/01/2019 23:25

I love it too, makes me feel happy and relaxed! I’m a much nicer person when drunk!

CSIblonde · 23/01/2019 23:47

I don't like being tipsy tbh. I feel weirdly giddy & just not myself. One or two glasses is nice but then I switch to tonic water.

GlossyTaco · 23/01/2019 23:54

This post reminds be of That mitchell and webb look sketch ,the inebriati. Everybody must have just under two drinks in their system at all times.

EarthboundMisfit · 24/01/2019 07:44

I used to like it. Since pregnancy I seem to go straight from a drink to a hangover with nothing in between!

ElspethFlashman · 24/01/2019 07:50

The crucial thing though is to know the glass that's one too many!

The problem with being tipsy is that you get the most remarkable thirst! Grin

I had half a bottle last night and it was DELIGHTFUL. Telly was great, myself and DH were hilarious, it was so pleasant.

Boy, did I want to keep going though!

I'm always glad when I don't, and go to bed. Not too much of a hangover but you had a lovely time. Going into the second bottle spells Doooooooommmm!
