How many drinks does it take for you to get drunk?

[Borgnine]

It's quite embarrasing, but it only takes around one and a half bottles of beer (and even less with more powerful stuff) for me to get completely wasted. I'm such a lightweight, but it's also more economical that way.

So yeah, everytime I think I'm just going to have a little, I'm totally sloshed by the end of it. Like right now. Hoo boy.

1. I'm quite thouroughly tipsy

I would say I had between 5-10 glasses of wine. I lost count.

2. 3 beers or 4 vodkas nt

3. 3 glasses of wine

4. Just one

One extra large pickle jar with a pint of scotch poured into it along with a few cubes of ice.

5. Depends,

but usually around five in an hour. I start feeling a buzz after two.

6. three is my limit for wine or beer. two is tipsy.

for liquor, two is probably enough...unless it's tequila, I can drink four shots before I am drunk, sometimes five.

I love don julio the best, btw...yummy tequila!

7. It depends...

...on an empty stomach, if I have a few drinks/beers I'm done.

Under normal conditions drinking normal beers, I can drink a six pack or a whole pitcher before I pass the buzz stage and become "drunk".

Gotta be that Irish Catholic and German heritage.

For Oklahoma beers (three cheers for the right-wing lobby - half the alcoholic content) you buy outside of bars and liquor stores - I can drink it all night and feel nothing - 8, 12, even 15 of them and I'm walking straight as an arrow and articulate as ever.

Worst. Law. Ever.

I feel more and more like I'm living in a parallel universe of sterile, God-fearing Puritans - especially since moving back from my true home on the east coast.

I hate this place.

8. Roughly 1 1/2 to 2 bottles of wine

Yah... I have those Irish genes. Takes forever to get me properly sloshed.

10. Once...

I have a story related to drinking that amount of wine. I was at a gallery opening for a couple friends and they served crappy jug wine. I just drank and drank and drank and realized that I had consumed at least the equivalent of a bottle of this stuff in less than an hour.

Upon realizing this, I started feeling really sick/drunk and decided to go catch a train.

While "sitting" in the urine-smelling subway station (can't really call it sitting, because sitting is a stationary activity) after 25 minutes had passed I began to wonder. Trains were supposed to come every 30 minutes, I think. Then a train came the other direction - can't be long now.

10 minutes later. Swaying a little more. Another train passes, the other direction. 20 more minutes. A THIRD train passes the other direction. I was getting worried now. Finally, after about an hour a train came my way.

I barely got home in time to hug some porcelain. Not a fun night - and the next day was even worse.

9. White wines tear me up...

Sometimes it only takes ONE bottle.

[liberal43110]

11. 1 hard drink

several wine drinks...

[Abelman]

12. Hmm.

Well, I usually feel a little buzzish after two or three, drunk after six or eight. Hammered after twelve.

I usually do tequila shots and beer. Wheat.

13. none

one can get 'drunk' on spiritual practices-and no hangover!
