How drunk would you be after 4 small Proseccos?

Just curious as I can never understand my alcohol tolerance

After 4 Proseccos I would already be feeling my hangover.

I like Prosecco but it don't like me. After a few it just gives me a blinding headache and it will start as I'm drinking it and then last through the next day. Fine if I have 1 or 2.

Pretty drunk. I don’t drink much and have low tolerance

AlmostCutMyHairToday · 01/02/2025 13:10

Probably room spinning. I'm a total lightweight and limit my drink to 1 x double gin a week.

TheLittleOldWomanWhoShrinks · 01/02/2025 13:10

Four? Very merry. A bit too merry for comfort (I wouldn't disgrace myself - I tend to be chatty and sociable when drunk - but I'd feel as if I'd had a bit too much).

Happy/tiddly but not “pissed”

Fawn87 · 01/02/2025 13:11

Not very but it depends how much I've eaten that day. I might feel a little bit looser and more relaxed after a small amount but I regularly drink a bottle to myself on the weekend and that's my limit. I'm not falling over drunk but any more than that and I feel sick.

thehorsesareallidiots · 01/02/2025 13:12

@BusySittingDown I have found that cava and cremant provide good taste at prosecco prices without prosecco headaches.

MotherJessAndKittens · 01/02/2025 13:12

Wouldn't feel very drunk but wouldn't drive.

Oneminuteatatime · 01/02/2025 13:13

That would barely touch the sides here. Prosecco is very weak imo.

Rewis · 01/02/2025 13:14

I mean it depends. Sometimes I'm tipsy after half pint of cider. Sometimes a bottle of wine and a shot of tequila and nothing. Friends if I'm tired, what I've eaten, how quickly I drink.

Lowhangingfruitisthebest · 01/02/2025 13:15

I doubt I'd notice I had drank anything, certainly no hangover the day after!

Oblomov25 · 01/02/2025 13:24

Blimey this thread is most unusual. Most threads most MN'ers are bladdered after the first sip.

Completelyjo · 01/02/2025 13:25

A glass of Prosecco is a standard size. I would be fairly drunk, it’s around 2/3rd of a bottle.

Scentedjasmin · 01/02/2025 13:28

I'd be pretty pissed, particularly if it was during the day.

ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea · 01/02/2025 13:29

I would be 'happy', not properly drunk but wouldn't have any more alcohol.

BRANFLAKEE · 01/02/2025 13:30

I am 5ft2 mid 30s, very overweight, sober alcoholic now, but my pattern was binge drinking 1.5 bottles to 2 bottles quickly at home, I had been drinking for 16 years before stopping and for me drinking 4 small glasses of prosecco in 2 hours I would be buzzed, impulsive and feeling confident and sexy, flirty and chatty but still remember what happened. I might start repeating or say bold things. This based on when I was drinking heavily as well, I'm not recalling the early days before I built up tolerance. I am part Asian though and they say we get drunk quick.

MiddleAgedDread · 01/02/2025 13:30

Barely even tipsy

Lovelysummerdays · 01/02/2025 13:32

Pretty drunk. I don’t drink as a general rule so when I do I am a lightweight. I think if a small prosecco as about 125ml so it’s over half a bottle about 4-5 units at a guess.

Twixtmasjigsaw · 01/02/2025 13:33

I'd be happy tipsy. 4 Proseccos would be my sweet spot. More than that and I'd be tipping into 'pretty wasted' territory.

heyhopotato · 01/02/2025 13:34

I literally couldn't imagine drinking 4, I'd be passed out. It would take me 2.5 hours to get through 2 and I'd be lightheaded and wouldn't be able to walk in a straight line after.

distinctpossibility · 01/02/2025 13:36

I'd be really annoying and starting to not feel well. I probably drink one or two units about 4 times a year, so I really feel it when I do. No moral judgement, just lifestyle (was either pregnant or breastfeeding from ages 23 to 33 with no breaks... obviously you can drink while breastfeeding but we bedshared so didn"t drink at all)

SockFluffInTheBath · 01/02/2025 13:36

I would be out cold under the table after fewer than 4.

pinkdelight · 01/02/2025 13:36

Just drunk enough. The happy buzzy state before it gets too much.

12FreeRangeEggs · 01/02/2025 13:37

I would probably be wanting to vomit, OP. 20 years ago I would have been simply merry. Times have changed for me

peachesgalore · 01/02/2025 13:37

Would do absolutely nothing to me
