How would you feel after 3 cocktails and a beer?

I've not had this much to drink for a while (guessing the cocktails were actually bloody strong, I'm wondering if they had 2 shots each?) and my god I can feel it mentally! Obviously alcohol is a depressant, but I'm not depressed, just a really distinctive feeling - almost like the alcohol puts a filter on my general mood?

Drank about a litre of water last night before sleeping, so no headache and didn't feel sick, although worried last night that I'd be sick as a dog this morning. But nope! Physically all good, yet mentally just noticeably different.

It was only supposed to be two cocktails but the barman gave us a freebie, and I really should know better than to drink something cos it's free Grin

How would you feel, physically and mentally, after drinking this sort of amount?

@Iamblossom yes. I've always been able to drink a large amount. Tall and heavy
Would usually drink a bottle of wine at home before a night out

People seem to get worked up over it but happily drink every single day. I never know how to answer when the doctor asks because I genuinely drink once a year and that's it. No alcohol in the house

I'd feel fine. I can drink a fair amount to be completely honest. I can drink around 500ml of spirits (10 doubles) over around a 6 hour period and not be drunk.
