How well do you handle your alcohol?

As I get older, I get drunk faster and sick even faster. It's not good!

I used to be better...Back in the going out all the time phase.
Now i have to watch because i love to do shots
and if i do one to many or do them to quick...it is toilet city for me

What a question ... another classic OctGroom poll!

Well if you asked me this question when I was in college/my early-mid 20s, I would have answered 'above average' .. i was a much bigger drinker back then, and could handle my booze VERY well.. Loved my vodka shots! And if you got me going at the bars around Yankee stadium, I could drink with the best of the guys! (had to throw in the Yankee ref. for OctGroom .. LOL)

But NOW we hardly ever drink. FH is not a big drinker and I honestly don't enjoy it as much as I used to. On the rare occassions I DO drink, I'm shot after one or two. I get sick pretty easily . Pathetic getting old , aint it?

Though we both plan on making the most of our 'open bar' at the wedding and drinking like crazy on our HM

I usually know when I need to stop for a little and drink some water to prevent me from getting sick-drunk. Unfortunately, I got sick Saturday night and was throwing up in bathroom, but the next day I realized it was because I started out drinking cranberry and vodkas and then had white russians. Can't mix drinks.

My friend got married in August. I was a groomsman. I started off with champagne.. then some kind of Ale.. then I went over the line.. I tried a shot called a Baby Guiness.. then a Mike's Hard Iced tea.. then a coffee martini.. then a Woodpecker cider.

I was never so drunk.. and sick!

FW was kicking her leg in bed.. I was like... Don't move the bed so much.. I'm gonna yak.

LOL... I will never do that again... blah blah blah

I forgot the I don't drink option.. sorry.

That's okay. It's usually hard for people to fathom that another person doesn't drink.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T DRINK????

I say: Someone has to stay sober.

I am pretty good. I don't drink that often but I can usually handle it. I do find that if I drink martini's I am good for three, four is over the top. I don't know why. Last time I got sick was a few years ago with DH, not a pretty sight! Nothing like waking up in your undies wondering where your car is.

If I have more than two glasses of wine, I'm definatly slurring, with one eye shut.

I am proud to admit that I am an above average drinker (wait-should I be so proud of that fact I have however learned a few tricks throughout the years. When anticipating a big night out I ALWAYS eat first. If not, I am completely screwed. I also try not to mix anymore and I pace myself. I also don't drink as much as I used to. I do, however, have the occasional awful hangover, which I hate!!

I used to be a very big drinker for my size! But in the past 2-3 years alcohol has really started to bother my stomach, so I don't drink that much anymore. When I do, I get drunk fast, because my tolerance is low

I would get REAL drunk to the point of 'yaking' if I had to go a Yankee game.. The Yanks would make me sick anyway...
