Drinking.....

Hi,
I'm 4"11 and about 6 and half stone in weight. Last night I did something really stupid - I had 2 glasses of champagne, over 3 hours, on an empty stomach. When we got back to my boyfriends flat I wasn't very well....
I don't drink very often as I'm on medication (Last night I didn't take it as I knew we were going out for a drink or two) But what is baffling me is...I've had a lot more then 2 glasses before on an empty stomach and it has not effected me in the slightest.
Does the amount of drink you can take as a person, does it depend on your weight/health?

Say someone who was 5ft 6" and a little heavier, would have more of them to absorb the alcohol in.
As the others have said there are lots of factors that mean that the same amount of alochol will have different effects on different people.
We have an article all about it that you might like to read: http://www.thesite.org/drinkanddrugs/drinking/responsibledrinking/factorsaffectingdrink
Hope you're feeling better now
