Just curious as I can never understand my alcohol tolerance

I wouldn’t be at all.

I would be - surely this depends on weight, height, how much you typically use alcohol etc

Prosecco will make you drunk much faster thanks to the fizz than say wine.

Not for me. I could drink prosecco all night, it not really touch the sides and not feel a thing in the morning. Two glasses of wine and I would feel awful and still awful the next day

RisingSunn · 01/02/2025 14:09

I would be asleep.

TheKeatingFive · 01/02/2025 14:10

Assuming with food, not very

Menopause has made me completely alcohol intolerant, so after one glass I would have a migraine, after more than that I would be lying on the bathroom floor with my head in the toilet, unable to see and worried that I might vomit so hard I couldn't breathe.

I miss being able to have a glass of fizz..

Adamante · 01/02/2025 14:12

Very. I can't drink anymore since menopause. I did a champagne tasting recently and fell on the little chocolates and cakes they served at the end like a hibernating bear 😁 because I felt so drunk I knew I was about to make a fool of myself!

JudgeBread · 01/02/2025 14:13

I can demolish a bottle of prosecco in a couple of hours and just be a bit giggly. I've got pals who'd be on the floor after four glasses, and pals who can drink me under the table. Alcohol tolerance is hugely variable.

VivaVivaa · 01/02/2025 14:13

4 x 125mL over a whole day at wedding id be fine.

4 x 125mL Prosecco in an hour or 2 id be drunk.

CurlewKate · 01/02/2025 14:14

Not at all. Obviously I wouldn't drive, though.

Barney16 · 01/02/2025 14:14

Paralytic. I lost all tolerance for alcohol when I was pregnant and it hasn't come back. If I hadn't eaten anything beforehand I would be falling down drunk. I'm a v cheap date.

lilybloom2 · 01/02/2025 12:38

Some evenings I would be hardly affected and others I'd be very drunk. I've found it all depends on my hormones, stress levels, eating habits that day and how fast I drink.

Al this. The unpredictability of the effects of alcohol for me in late 40s is sooo annoying

mirrorglitterball · 01/02/2025 14:16

I haven’t drank for a few months so I think I’d feel fairly tipsy

Onlyvisiting · 01/02/2025 14:17

After 4 glasses I would be fast asleep so no one would be able to tell 🤣.

moonshinepoursthroughmywindow · 01/02/2025 14:18

I would be fairly sleepy and unsociable after 4 of anything.

Comedycook · 01/02/2025 14:19

I'd be very drunk....I rarely drink so really feel the effects

Hdjdb42 · 01/02/2025 14:20

I would be a little drunk and sleepy.

Stresshead84x · 01/02/2025 14:20

Pretty drunk normally- my alcohol tolerance is very unpredictable usually depending on who i'm with,any recent weight loss, what i've eaten, time of month etc- but 4 prossecos i'd be a bit fuzzy and forget things next day normally.

OutrageousImmoral · 01/02/2025 14:21

When I was younger I would have been fine, it wouldn’t have touched the sides, but now (54) I’d get a headache.

BarbaraHoward · 01/02/2025 14:22

Absolutely loving the posters who are making sure we know they wouldn't touch prosecco but would have cava or cremant. Peak MN. Grin

Four small glasses of prosecco would have me tipsy I think, assuming I'd eaten. I probably wouldn't have four though, I'd have one glass of bubbly then switch to wine which I can nurse.

At a wedding or on Christmas Day or the like when I'm sipping and nibbling all day I can drink it all day we without much difference.

VickyEadieofThigh · 01/02/2025 14:23

Twenty years ago - not drunk at all. Since menopause - under the table.

ManyATrueWord · 01/02/2025 14:29

Rather. Not sloppy drunk but 4 units is my entire allowance for an evening of hard drinking. I gave up drinking for pregnancy and never regained interest or ability.

Tangerinenets · 01/02/2025 14:30

I mean Prosecco is vile but I’d definitely be drunk after 4 small glasses of wine.

TheWelshposter · 01/02/2025 14:33

With food.....a bit tipsy
Without food...quite tipsy/mildly drunk

I am quite a lightweight and more than 3 drinks results in a hangover for me.

Well, to be fair, they are very different things. Most prosecco is fermented in vats, and most cava, crement, and champagne are fermented in the bottle for the second fermentation and taste very different

WiddlinDiddlin · 01/02/2025 14:41

Oh absolutely blotto and probably calling Huey on the big white telephone.

I don't drink really, beyond the very occasional (twice a year perhaps) rum and coke, I just don't bother with it.
