Just curious really. 
I feel the need to introduce myself- despite all the posts I have accumulated I haven't posted in GD too much. Anyway, I'm Claire and I'm 22 years old. Hello to all.
I detest getting really drunk personally (no offence to those that like it)!
I tend to drink enough to make me slightly tipsy but not drunk (guess I'm a bit too sensible).
Now, I drank 4 pints, 2 wickeds and 2 snowballs tonight then I moved onto diet cokes. I felt a tiny bit tipsy but that's it. Is this normal? Do people normally drink more or less till they feel a bit tipsy? Personally I used to be much more of a light weight. I guess that's what makes me curious really!

I'm not a wine drinker myself so I couldn't comment on that. I do remember a friend of mine drinking a bottle of wine a month or so ago and having to be escorted home by me though.
Just one bottle????
Yes, they're making them bigger and bigger these days.
It was actually. She was leaning on me all the way back.
Good lord. :eek:
And tonight.. 3 beers, a bottle of 13% wine, Some Srongbow and Mango Caribbean Twist =]
Nah.. not an alcoholic..
At what point did you guys start to feel tipsy then? Don't even try to tell me never.
I would say after about 4 pints and 3 double bacardi's and coke, Thats when I felt tipsy, Then the rest of the night was a complete Blur Lmao! Went home and tried opening my front door with a lipgloss DO'H*
That's a fair bit to only feel tipsy on!
For me it all depends on if or when I've eaten. If I drink on an empty stomach then after 3 glasses of wine I feel giggly, but if I'm full, I'll probably just want to go to sleep before I can even get to the tipsy stage.
If I do shots though it's another issue, I can have 2 or 3 chasers and I've passed tipsy without even experiencing it!
(Except in the DS pub, then I can drink all night long and still be sober!)
Some nights I can put a huge amount of alcohol away, and never get past the tipsy stage. Other nights 4 pints of shandy will have me on the floor.:o
I know exactly what you mean. I have been there. If you dont eat.. thats it for me.
A woman at work drinks 3 bottles of wine a day; one for lunch, one after work and one when she gets home. She will not accept that she's an alcoholic. Shame really, as she's a nice woman when she's sober.
Yes, I would say that's a problem. Hope she doesn't drive herself home from work?:mad:
A big problem but nobody does anything about it - our management is very poor. Luckily she gets the tube home but we are now starting to see the effects of all the drinking - her skin is so dry and flaky which - I think - is due to liver damage. We've all talked to her though but she won't accept it.
I used to be able to drink a lot then I got ill so not so much anymore. I used to have about 3/4 pints before I started feeling an effect. These days it's about 2 although about a month ago I had a bottle of wine in the house and not an effect I wasnt' happy about that.
I don't like gettting drunk to the point I can't stand up straight although I have done it once or twice. I just hate feeling out of control. I don't see the necessity of being that drunk.
If I drank all that I'd be passed out!
I am a bit of a lightweight... particularly if I'm mixing drinks; for me that's a really bad idea so I usually stick to just the one thing - 3 or 4 bottles of coronas or a couple of large glasses of wine is usually enough to get me to the 'tipsy' stage.
It all depends on the person tbh... whether you've eaten recently or not... whether you drink regularly or not... etc. There's no hard and fast rules I don't think. Everyone's different.
