Do you knw any people who can't handle there drink ?? I have a friend who gets aggressive after he drinks about 5 ciders, someone who gets drunk after 2 glasses of wine.

I can't drink fast so it takes me ages to get drunk

Brian from Bray · 20-09-2015 12:31PM

Yeah, me

PTH2009 · 20-09-2015 12:36PM

I'd love to get drunk on 2 pints. Much cheaper. My dads an alarmist so I get given out to I'd I drink too fast, too much in his presence

Mister Vain · 20-09-2015 12:38PM

I'm pissed after 3 pints. I don't get aggressive or anything but that seems to be my limit. Anymore than that I'm fecked.

20-09-2015 12:39PM

I drink fast, so can be well oiled after 7 or 8 pints in a couple of hours. And then move to the silly stuff.

I react well, all wisecracks and chat, can even get out in the dance floor. Not sure that means "I can handle drink" though, I'm still drunk...just a happy drunk!

I can't handle drunk people when I'm sober/half way there. You can't have a normal conversation

There's not being able to handle your drink, and then there are idiots like that guy who spoil it for everyone else.

I'm able to handle my drink, I think more people can than can't, and it's the aggressive clowns that fuel the myth of there being a 'drinking problem' in this country, just because the most aggressive element are the most obvious.

I was an alcoholic for nearly ten years, I was never an aggressive dickhead. I was a dickhead in plenty of other ways though, some people would say I still am a dickhead, but at least I'm not an alcoholic dickhead now.

It's a nuisance when you're out with heavy drinkers, especially if you're doing rounds.

I cry when I drink vodka.

Hans Bricks · 20-09-2015 01:26PM

I tend to drink fast for the first five or so drinks and then take it slow after that. Get's me nice and drunk but not messy either. I like to think of it like doing sprints on a treadmill as stupid as it may sound.

LDN_Irish · 20-09-2015 02:42PM

I've created an informal list of rules for myself to prevent myself getting too drunk, because I don't want to ruin my night or worse, my friend's.

1: don't do shots. You've never gone home and sad "I just wasn't drunk enough tonight. Should have done more concentrated measures of alcohol."

2: drink a pint of water for every third pint of beer. Change this to every second if you feel yourself getting too drunk.

3: don't drink wine.

4: don't smoke weed after a few pints unless home and safe and able to go straight to bed.

5: avoid confrontation at all costs, particularly with strangers over silly stuff. You'll forget how they offended you but not how you got a criminal record or how someone bounced their head off a curb.

6: go and eat a meal if you feel you're getting too drunk.

7: only drink water with your food. Watch how drunk the ****ers drinking the house red with their meal after a rake of pints are going to be soon.

8: stop drinking entirely if you are feeling a lack p control or very impulsive. No shame in going on the water for the last few hours.

9: don't cave under peer pressure. Drunk people are the worst for trying to convince you to drink more, do shots, make fun of you for drinking water but stick to your guns. They won't pick up the pieces for you.

Looks like work when it's all written down like that but it's usually easily achievable and I haven't had a night wrecked by too much drink in years.

Whilst you sit at home alone on an Irish "crying chair" I hope. We have all been there. Lol.

So I use a straw.

wakka12 · 20-09-2015 02:51PM

I get drunk after 3 pints if my stomachs empty

dodderangler · 20-09-2015 02:53PM

About 10 pints of bud and I'd be wobbly
5 pint bottles of bulmers and I'm wobbly
2 vodkas and I'm fcuked

Sam Kade · 20-09-2015 03:00PM

I could drink half bottle of whiskey go to bed at 12am and be up at 6am for work without any bother

timthumbni · 20-09-2015 03:00PM

I've attached an image of me drunk, on a crying chair.

Weird that the intake you can handle is halved for Bulmers. The alcohol content is fairly close between burners and bud I would have thought? I wonder why it makes such a difference to you.

The huge amount of sugar perhaps... White cider is complete rocket fuel and in fact you only think you have saw someone drunk until you see a white cider drinker drunk. I'm not allowed to drink it anymore as it turns me into a Marilyn Manson type loon.Their breath could power a Delorean car time machine without the need for a flux capacitor.

Oh really? I never knew the sugar content mattered. That must be why different drinks have different effects on me, I always just put it down to coincidence though, like how much Id eaten or my mood etc. Beer usually just makes me drowsy and stupid, no fun to be around when Im drunk off beer. Vodka and mixer makes me loud and chatty and in the mood for partying.

I have, usually happens at the end of the night though when I say "feck Im not drunk enough" and go to the bar for a few shots or doubles etc.

I'm no scientist but if you ever look at street drinkers they always seem to be drinking white or normal cider. These people are experts when it comes to booze. I would always trust their opinion.

Personally I have huge hangovers no matter what I drink. If you ate something that caused you to be sick you would stay clear of it. For some reason alcohol is different. Not very smart probably when you think about it. Lol

Dublin Dry Gin. The blue stuff. On a plane to Ibiza. I can't even look at a bottle of the stuff, and that must have been 15 years ago.

Southern Comfort. Tallaght. Don't remember too much apart from the taste on its way back out. Must have been 20 years ago. I still can't touch the stuff.

Don't do rounds with heavy drinkers if you're not one yourself. Recipe for disaster. I only do rounds early on in the night and only if there's only two or three of us. Just as it gets the evening going as everyone doesn't have to be off to the bar all the time. Then I get the hell out of the round system.

Why do you want to get more drunk at that stage when you're about to head home? What's the point?

Because I don't want to end up and home and feel Im not drunk enough so I try to sort it out before I leave the bar! Feels a bit of a waste of a night out if I'm not drunk enough.

I don't agree for the "1 for the road" phrase commonplace in the Irish context either

Rounds are a joke unless youse are all drinking the same thing, pints etc. once someone adds on mixers and other nonsense you may as well take the money out of your wallet and burn it.

I particularly respect the vodka and mixer drinkers who whenever it's their round skip the mixer and ration their previous mixer. These types should be shot. Plain and simple. :-)
