Not many with me any more as I am taking pain killer that increase the effect. I can hardly drink at all any more unless I am home. I think I am not supposed to drink at all while taking them but I do like a glass of wine with my dinner.
What about you?

It really doesn't take much for me. I'm a very small person, which is why it doesn't take much for me to get drunk. Probably something like 2 or 3 drinks. There isn't just the fact that I'm small, but there's also the fact that I don't drink very often, which also explains why I can drunk very easily, or at least, buzzed. It's just the way it is with me, I suppose.

Waddya mean, it doesn't matter (grumble grumble). Diet or not, you still weigh a ton when I have to pour you into bed.

It depends on a few things. If I have eaten recently or if I'm drinking on an empty stomach. If I haven't eaten and I drink something quite potent like vodka, I can be tipsy after one and a half or two drinks. I have noticed that if I'm just not in a good mood or I'm tired and don't feel like drinking, I won't get drunk, no matter how much I drink. It's really bizarre. I think drunkeness is not just about how much you drink, but also how you feel at the time.

Oh yes drinking on an empty stomach is a sure way to get drunk fast. When I was young I did not know why you should eat before drinking and so I didn't cause I was not hungry. I was so drunk that night that when my father came to pick me up. I am just lucky that he never said a word about it. Just took me home and left all the yelling to my mother.
Not sure how old I was but I know I was working, just did not have a licence yet. Not that I could have driven. I do not even remember calling for a lift. Funny I do not remember anything about that night except that I was so drunk on only a few drinks cause I did not eat.

Three drinks. That's when I start feeling "drunk" usually. At that point I usually stop and switch to water. If I go beyond that point I end of feeling pertty horrible the next morning. I've been aware of my "limit" for quite some time now.
It took me a while to figure it out. When I first started drinking I went too far several times. I'm glad I figured it out cuz I really HATE barfing! lol

I am a very small woman. So, it doesn't take a lot for me to get drunk. But I really try not to. I made myself the promise not to drink beyond the point of being tipsy, buzzed. I really don't want getting drunk to become a habit. It's not worth it, in my opinion.

I am not much of a drinker and would only drink in company of my best friends and i have never over drank and yet to get drunk in my life. I dont know my capacity how much can i hold but i dont think i can drink over 4 pegs ( 30 ml each) of whiskey and stay not drunk.
