How are you with alcohol?

I ask this as a guy who would've never posted a selfie here without a bottle or two in him prior. How are you at handling your poison? Are you a lightweight, or a seasoned veteran? Do you have any stories to tell about a night out with your buds?

I didn't categorize this under Serious because it's likely someone can tell funny anecdotes caused by drinking. That being said, it's perfectly okay to treat this topic with complete seriousness if you'd like.

I, too, would not take a selfie unless completely plastered.

That said, I don't drink, and therefore take zero selfies. I don't mind others drinking, just be responsible and careful!

i drink on occasion. i consider myself pretty hard to get drunk, and i also don't flinch when it comes to taking shots or drinking something with a high alcohol content. i used to be an alcoholic, though, so my relationship with drinking is pretty rocky. i have to drink with friends. i refuse to drink by myself for fear of spiraling.

I do not drink often, but when I do, I usually drink a lot till I get mukfaced.

then the day after is pain... pure pain. But it would all be worth it apparently if I have to believe others

non-drinker over here. i'm literally saving myself because, with my personality, i firmly believe it's something i'll get addicted to if left unchecked. and nobody wants to hang out with an alcoholic. especially one with an already short fuse.

I drink every now and then and, from what I can tell, I have a pretty reasonable tolerance. The answer is left vague though because I never drink to excess/drunkenness because that would be unsafe for me and everyone in my proximity. If I didn't like the way Rum tastes as much as I do, I would probably never touch liquor again honestly.

I don't think that even drunk I'd post a selfie

Nah hangovers are never worth it, they're awful and no amount of buzz the night before makes it any better

suppose so, never really cared about it too much, just shrugged them off, not like i drink weekly or even monthly, just very rare occurances where the day after I can just pretend I do not exist.

I don't drink and probably won't because I'm worried about not being able to handle even a single drop of it.

Also my parents always acted like alchohol is the most evil thing the world growing up. I know it's not, but they seem to act like it is.

I don't have issues with holding my liquor. I can drink quite a lot without feeling tipsy even, but I don't necessarily drink a lot. I've got a few whiskeys sitting around that I like to have a glass of every now and then after a rough night at work, but I don't go out of my way to get mukfaced anymore.

I don't drink that often. But my slavic genes grant me huge alcohol tolerance, so when I'm out drinking, I can handle a lot.

I'm big on nursing my drinks because I do not have a high tolerance at all. Normally one drink will last me the whole night. Thankfully I'm the sleepy drunk type so the only thing I have to worry about is falling asleep when I'm drunk.

I usually don't drink but it's not like I have a hardline stance against alcohol. It's just that I usually only drink those very fruity drinks that are like 9 parts juice to one part alcohol and those don't show up very often.

I don't really do very well with bitter things. Probably for the best, all things considered.

I don't drink alcohol. I tried it back shortly after I turned 21. I tried to keep an open mind, but it was all disgusting. The beer looked like urine and is what I imagine urine tastes like too lol, the fruity drink made me gag.

Ultimately I saw no reason whatsoever to work to acquire the taste. Alcohol has nothing of worth to offer for me, TBH.

finally opened myself up to alcohol consumption last weekend during our company getaway bcs my gf convinced me.

i've found i can take about 15-17 shots (of whatever we were drinking i couldn't even tell) before i go completely off the wire. i don't know if that means i'm lightweight or anything, but it was pretty cool to literally still just be myself but have absolutely no inhibitions lmao i was talking to everyone about everything and it was a blast.

same sentiments as Angie though, strictly special occasions only. AND i'm making it a rule to myself to always have a huge supply of water nearby so i don't get too bad a hangover or anything.

15-17 shots and you just started drinking??? Must have been like whiteclaws or something otherwise, you may not be here. 😂 When I was 17 I got way too into drinking for a while and again when I turned 21, I worked at a pub so the bartenders loved getting me wasted during my shifts. Now I don't drink much though, I'll get some beer occasionally if the supermarket has a brewery stocked that I like. I am also down for single malt Scotch, however, and my go to is MacAllan 12, preferably with a cigar.

Ask her what exactly it was you were drinking, because shots usually implies hard liquor and 15+ is not exactly a small number of shots so....

How fast did you do all those shots too?

It's kind of hard for me to say and you'll have to take what I say with a grain of salt since while I do drink a lot, I'm not remotely an expert on the stuff and people have varying tolerances. If you said you pounded all that down in 30-45 minutes, that'd be concerning, and if you said you did that over the course of 6 hours, it wouldn't be concerning.

It's just that hard liquor is usually not the best place to start with alcohol because of the high alcohol content+doing it in shot format runs the risk of getting too much too fast, especially since you aren't fully aware of your limits yet. Like, not trying to scare anyone here but there's plenty of examples of drinking gone wrong in the world, and I doubt I'll ever truly forget the first time I overdid it in my early drinking days.

But if you haven't vomited and didn't get hungover, I guess you did alright (or like Figure said, were doing shots of something with lower alcohol content than usual).

Last time I drank was like 4 years ago at this point I think? I've been semi-avoiding it since I had a couple of bad experiences while drunk as a teenager, but even putting that aside I have nobody to drink with and no interest in getting drunk on my own, so eh. Also I'm a lightweight and I get really annoying when I'm drunk.

Yeah I was hanging with my veteran friends so it may have just been light stuff. I'm all for it though, that was more than enough for a casual like me lol.

I do like drinking, yea. Haven't done much of it since rona started tho since drinking alone isn't too fun.
Last time I got hungover was last year I think, around this same date, but last time I drank like a lot was on November during a friend's bday.

I wouldn't say I'm lightweight at all, but I can't drink a loooot either. Mostly bc I'm afraid of getting drunk to the point of being completely psyducked up.

Guess I'll be one of the odd one's out here, in that I drink quite regularly. I've been sick for the last month or more and haven't touched it during, but prior I drink a couple of times a week. I even had a point where I was drinking almost every day because I was stressed, I did quit that, at least. LOL

Normally, I just drink sweet liquors, and mixed drinks, and I'll have three or four and then stop. My tolerance is fine, I usually get tipsy, or if I'm actually drunk a few drinks in I'll stop there. I think it's fun to feel it for a couple of hours and then cut myself off. Never been the type to enjoy getting black out drunk. Only done that a couple of times, and I remember feeling so sick that I've never wanted to end up like that again.

How I handle is questionable, because if I get too drunk I will laugh at everything and then pass out. I remember my boyfriend having to guide me to sit down, and all I could do was lay in bed and feel awful. Never again.

It's super fun to get tipsy and play games, or hang with friends and such, though.
