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 would get REAL drunk to the point of 'yaking' if I had to go a Yankee game.. The Yanks would make me sick anyway...
Same goes for me at a Mets game, heavens forbid you get me inside of Shea [shudders at the thought] Though just watching the Mutts, errr Mets play can get even the most diehard Mets fan ill!! LOLOL
When watching the Skankees, oops I mean Yankees did I write that? hehe , when they are losing and seeing General Von Steingrabber cry and pout about how it's so hard to be a yankee, should be something that makes us ALL nauseaus.
And remember Mets is 'stem' spelled backwards, Felicia!

Touche, OctG ..
Though you have it a bit wrong .. its the Mets fans whose nauseating war cry is 'its SOOOOO Hard to be a Mets fan .. waaah.. boo hoo... waaah ..'
Ok lets get back to the original topic at hand (drinking!) Good luck opening day, b/t/w ...my FH will be watching with you in spirit as they lose ......

They can't play any worse than the Yankees did on their Opening Day. Guaranteed!

Re: How well do you handle your alcohol?
If you asked me this 5 years ago, I would probably answer above average.... if it didn't have tequilla in it, I wouldn't drink it.
Now, I can barely go near the stuff (tequilla). I know my limit pretty well and usually it means just a bit of a headache in the a.m.

Re: How well do you handle your alcohol?
For me it all depends.
Sometimes Im well buzzed after two glasses of wine and good to go. I try NOT to get sick drunk at all.
Othertimes I've had 8 cosmos and a couple mixed drinks...walked away to later be sick.
That or if I go out and have a few mixed drinks, wine and a martini Im out for the night.
I just TRY not to be sick drunk (as I said) so Im pretty careful about not over doing it. I can easily drink about 4 glasses of wine if Im not driving or taking a train no problem. At most 2 or 3 if I have to take a train (im afraid people will take advantage of a girl alone on the trains) and only 1 drink over a 4 hour time if Im driving.
So some days I can 'tie one on' pretty well Other times Im a 'cheap date'.

Re: How well do you handle your alcohol?
Cool thank you for the recommendations, We are always looking for a different place to hang out!
Martini's can be expensive and some drunk coworker put the company card on the bar so I was going to live it up!!

Re: How well do you handle your alcohol?
i chose other- soemwhere between good & above average.
I don't usually have more than 4 or 5 drinks, altely, & that sometimes gets me buzzed, dpending on what it is.
I can drink more than that without yacking, but I choose not to, b/c sometimes I'm not sure where the treshhold is.

At the Fat Black Pussycat.. last time I was there.. it was $8 for a 10 ounce martini.
In NYC, that's pretty good.
Ahhh... the company card... ah yes!
