Just curious as I can never understand my alcohol tolerance

As teens we’d preload with more than that before a night out.
😉😁😁.

If I hadn’t eaten and drank fairly quickly Then quite drunk. With food over a cou0le of hours not at all.

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

Hey, don't encourage me lol! 😂

I do think it sometimes depends on the brand of Prosecco as well? Although it's probably better I just stick to one or two just to be safe.

Definitely not drunk, but obviously not sober, @Opink there are days when I can drink loads and still feel "sober" and other days 3 or 4 glasses of wine, and I'm banjaxed

ihavebecomecomfortablynumb · 01/02/2025 13:39

I wouldn’t be affected at all, Prosecco has very little effect on me, I can drink a couple of bottles of it in the evening and can barely tell I’ve had a drink.

HelpMeGetThrough · 01/02/2025 13:42

4 bottles I'd feel it a bit.

ItGhoul · 01/02/2025 13:43

If by ‘small’ you mean the standard 125ml bar measure, then I wouldn’t be drunk at all.

It’s true that sparkling wine can make you drunk a little bit quicker, but I suspect that might be cancelled out by Prosecco having a lower alcohol content than most other wines - around 11% compared to 14-15% for a full bodied red.

2chocolateoranges · 01/02/2025 13:46

If I had 4 small bottles of Prosecco I’d be in a corner asleep. But could drink way more than 4 vodkas .

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

That’s me, I am crap at drinking 🤣

Giggorata · 01/02/2025 13:52

I'd be a bit tiddly after that but not rolling drunk.

I would be merry but that's if I hadn't eaten before.

Pushmepullu · 01/02/2025 13:58

Regrettably, 4 small glasses and I wouldn’t know I’d had alcohol. I may start feeling the effects a third into the second bottle.

Warmhandscoldheart · 01/02/2025 13:59

It all depends on the time of day for me.

Earlier than 4pm = drunk and ready to sleep
After 4pm = merry and ready for more

BobbyBiscuits · 01/02/2025 14:00

I only drink prosecco, champagne etc in company. And I find I get drunk quicker on less drink if I'm out or at a meal. I guess I wouldn't feel drunk at all if it was in a group, before a meal. If I was alone I'd probably feel a bit tipsy, if I drank them back to back quickly!
But I do drink quite a lot so my tolerance is high.

Arseynal · 01/02/2025 14:02

I drink very little. I’d be handcuffing a friend to a lamppost after 4 Prosecco. I’d drink it too fast too (because I hate the taste) which would make things worse.

Mingenious · 01/02/2025 14:02

Wouldn’t touch the sides.

AnyFucker · 01/02/2025 14:03

Prosecco is disgusting so I couldn’t drink 4 glasses. If I did though, I would be a bit chattier but that’s it.

Funnywonder · 01/02/2025 14:03

Depends on how much I have eaten and the time of day. I seem to feel the effects far more in the afternoon than evening. Also, normal wine would have far less effect on me than Prosecco, which always seems to give me a headache and acid reflux. So I might be a bit drunk, but in a very unpleasant way.

FaeryQueen · 01/02/2025 14:04

Not at all. It would have little or no effect.

Knittedfairies2 · 01/02/2025 14:04

My knees would have given way by 2, asleep by 4.

BeaTwix · 01/02/2025 14:04

Tipsy.

But the thought of drinking four glasses of sugary prosecco means I wouldn't drink it. Prosecco always gives me an evil hangover. Other sparkling wines not-so-much.

LadyRoughDiamond · 01/02/2025 14:05

Pretty tipsy. Embarrassing Mum stage if you asked my kids. I rarely drink more than a glass, and Prosecco tips me over into drunk a lot faster than non-sparkling wine.

LadyRoughDiamond · 01/02/2025 14:05

Oh, and yes to the evil hangover. Proper dose of “the fear” too.

Newfoundzestforlife · 01/02/2025 14:06

It depends greatly on what I'd eaten that day.
If I hadn't eaten enough I'd feel pretty drunk.

MumblesParty · 01/02/2025 14:07

I only drink about 2 units a year so 4 Proseccos would make me very drunk.
