Mixing wines is going to be a bad idea, almost regardless of the amount drunk.
As for how much you drink vs. your hangover, its not a strict relationship, every body is different in how they react, much like everyone is different in their reaction to alcohol.
I always have a bottle of wine before I go out.
It was alot that night as we bought lots of shots all night too.
Errr wine :yuck:
I used to do the same, espescially if I knew I didn't have alot of money to buy many drinks out, I'd have one of the many bottles of wine that we have floating around the house before I left. It makes me feel ill now though, although recently I've found I can stand white wine a bit more, still won't touch red wine though.
It's funny when it gets to that stage on a night out when you're SOOO fucked and you know that you've had way, way too much but somehow you don't care. Someone offers you another shot and you just know there's a high chance of spewing after this one but fuck it, you just wanna get as screwed as possible...
I don't drink at all before going out now, actually, though I always did in my student days. Now it's more likely to lead to my being EXTREMEly fucked and praying to the porcelain god.
I only drink white.
You have a whole bottle to yourself before you leave the house? How often do you drink like that?
Only wine I can tolerate is sweet, white German wine from the Rhine and Mosel. Blue Nun, Black Tower, Liebfraumilch, Schwarze Katze (from the town of Zell on the Mosel if anyone knows it)
:yuck:
It's go to be New World and preferably Aussie stuff.
White's great for getting pissed, red is nice if you having a meal.
Well apparently a bottle is about 10 units (at 13% - this is what I usually get) and that has me a little tipsy but not much.
I'm weird though. I drink a hell of alot more than my girly mates.
8-10 units would not have me pissed all.
I seem to remember you saying you are 8 stone though. I'm heavier than you so it probably takes alot more for me to get drunk.
when i was at uni though i used to drink a lot more than i do now. im glad i don't get that drunk anymore though - i like remembering my nights!
I used to be a light weight when I was 16/17. I'm much better now.
The only reason why I get drunk around the same time my mates do is because I drink much much more!
Exactly, the limits are a bit too prescriptive, and especially when you are young do feel too low. But necking back 25 units in one evening does suggest a tolerance which it cant be too healthy to aquire.
thats some goin for a girl!
Its also quite a lot easier for them to get chemically addicted.
I don't make a habit of drinking that much. Its only when I count it the next day that I've realised how much I've drank.
Last Tuesday was a big night. It was obvious I'd drank too much because I was sick when I woke up the next morning and I'm never sick. It was the first time I was sick in the morning actually.
I do usually drink 15-20 units on a night out though.
Oh and lipsy, I don't try and drink people under the table and its not something I'm proud of either. I know girls who can drink more than me. Also, it depends what I've eaten that day, etc.
Its not like I make a habit out of drinking that much or anything. I go out about once/twice a week. I'm not going out for a while though as I've got alot on.
Oh and Lipsy, its not like you can criticise me for drinking lots too either when referring to damaging my body, I know what you doooo
Still, we are all adults and we all make our own decisions.
and i was also saying that its not better to have a higher tolerance for all fo the reasons above. small amounts of anything gets me fucked
How come?
It's a good life isn't it?
Doesn't the same thing go for a high tolerance of all drugs though, not just alcohol?
