Just curious as I can never understand my alcohol tolerance

Tipsy not drunk

DrinkFeckArseBrick · 01/02/2025 14:48

Over the course of an evening with food - not really, maybe a bit tipsy

In the daytime with no food - quite merry

Hoppinggreen · 01/02/2025 14:49

I would be pretty tipsy but not shitfaced
I would be up at 2am having palpitations and would probably vomit later though

DrCoconut · 01/02/2025 14:51

Probably on the floor being stood on! My alcohol tolerance is virtually nil since I had my kids. Pregnancy really changed my body.

TaggieO · 01/02/2025 14:53

Absolutely shitfaced, but I don’t drink, so there’s that!

ClematisBlue49 · 01/02/2025 14:54

4 standard glasses of Prosecco is 2/3 of a bottle, ie 6 units and technically a binge, so I'd be pretty tipsy and have a hangover the next day, especially if I drank it all in the space of a couple of hours. But I wouldn't choose to drink it in the first place as it just tastes like lemonade to me.

TheAirfryerQueen · 01/02/2025 14:54

I'd be teetering on oblivion. I don't drink much (three pints at most) and fizzy wine goes straight to my head, so, a taxi & a sick bucket methinks.

BunnyLake · 01/02/2025 14:55

I have a very low tolerance for alcohol (so rarely drink it). That would have me pretty woozy and probably snoring soon after.

XWKD · 01/02/2025 14:57

I wouldn't be drunk, but I'd be aware I had been drinking.

Rosietru · 01/02/2025 15:00

I would be quite drunk, one glass goes straight to my head.

a binge? 4 small drinks over 2.5 hrs?
MN have some weird ideas about drink.

Pissed as a fart

You might want to google it - 6 units is the generally accepted threshold for a binge, as defined by the NHS et al.

ohnocarlben · 01/02/2025 15:01

Pretty tipsy as it’s most of the bottle…

How long is a piece of string, different people have different tolerance levels to different drinks.

The weird ideas about drinking are the posters who would need 2 or more bottles to “feel anything”!

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

Same.
I had three glasses of wine (in a restaurant) a decade ago and I was ill for a couple of days. Even one glass of wine made me ill in my 40's. I just stopped drinking, I don't have a social life anyway.

TheWorminLabyrinth · 01/02/2025 15:06

It wouldn't touch the sides for me.

CorduroySituation · 01/02/2025 15:09

Over 2 hours you say - Mildly buzzed, very slightly tipsy/happy but still totally in control of myself.

CorduroySituation · 01/02/2025 15:10

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.

@Oblomov25 the MN dramatic weaklings have arrived on the thread Grin

SnoopysHoose · 01/02/2025 15:11

@Completelyjo
That's another issue, some people have high tolerance.
4 small glasses is not a binge.

SnoopysHoose · 01/02/2025 15:12

@CorduroySituation
There a few who would be wasted, ill the next day, on the floor etc

Keepgettingolder81 · 01/02/2025 15:12

I would be very drunk, but I know people who can drink a bottle and be fine.

The variance is too massive

thegrumpusch · 01/02/2025 15:13

Wasted. But I'm a total lightweight!

It’s a standard size, why do you insist on calling it small?
it’s like having a normal g&t and repeating it was small. Unless it was a half measure it was just a glass, not a small one.
