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

I only drink lager and can tolerate massive quantities of it too. I'll be technically drunk but I don't slur or stagger. Just glassy eyed, flushed and cracking dumb jokes and talking too much. Any other drink and I can immediately feel my legs start to buckle. I like a bloody mary once in a while but the vodka definitely has a much different effect on me so I tend to avoid it. I can't handle spirits and I don't really like them. Nope it's frosty pilsner for me all the way and nothing else.

It got to the stage for me that I couldn't handle any booze so eventually I stopped, eventually .

You're one of those guys that has a liver of steel, some constitution and amazing "pacing yourself" skills!! There's no way I could drink all day! At weddings I have a small reception glass of bubbly. I don't drink during the dinner, I have some red at desert and then have a few drinks before the music sets in.

In my group of friends I'd be pretty standard but there is one or two who can handle a lot more at times, we would all drink to a similar level to me on a night out or at a wedding etc.

I wouldn't really say I have pacing myself skills, I just can handle a fair number of pints (once the pace doesn't stay at 3 pints an hour anyway or a similar fast pace). It would be fairly normal for us (me and other friends) to have 3 pints drank before even getting to the hotel where the reception as there is almost always pitstop after the church. Glass or two of bubbly at the arrival, maybe another 2 or 3 pints in the hotel bar before the dinner. Pint or two during the dinner along with few glasses of wine. Then it really depends on the day how many more pints are had before switching to spirits but lets say at least another 3 or 4 and then hit the spirits (with mixers and some straight shots also) until the residents bar closes/I'm told to go to bed for being too drunk :pac: (normally the former).

Same with me and my friends. Usually it's 6-8 cans then two or three in the local and then a few more in town, perhaps 4 or 5. Can remember everything if it's just beer so stay away from spirits.
Or if there's decent soccer on for the day start around 12 in the pub and finish around 3am in the morning. Would consume around 15 pints.

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.

How can you say you can handle your drink and then call yourself an alcoholic?
