Poll: Can you hold your drink?

[Zhadramekel]

I think I can take alcohol pretty well. Never really been drunk enough to tell. I've been a bit unsteady on my feet after a decent few drinks but never so hammered that I've spent the night with my head in the toilet or woken up the next morning with a migraine.

I weigh about 120 pounds, so I consider the amount i drink rather normal. Usually I dont aim to get superbly drunk, so I go for what I call a "$6 drunk" which (even though I dont really get drunk) is when I buy 3 22oz Ballentines, drink them all and then try and solve the riddles whilst buzzed. If I feel like drinking more after that to get drunk, I'll have another 40 of Ballentines. It's cheap, tastes okay, and does the trick. Personally, however, I much rather enjoy the taste of a good beer.

I can throw down and with a little practice I could drink with the best of them. But that seems a little sad and pathetic to me. Everything in moderation.

I can't drink. I can't process the alcohol properly so I become quite ill. I'm the permanent DD of my group.

once spent £200 in a bar on myself *and* people bought me drinks.
The most expensive drink i had all night cost £3.50 to give you some perspective.

Also beat a few navy girls at drinking contests before.

the most ridiculous was about 4 litres of scotch whisky in a night. I was nearly hospitalized but threw it all up before they could call an ambulance.

I don't drink anywhere near as much as i used to, once every six months on average but i can easily finish a few bottles of spirits when i do. (LOVE me some russian standard vodka)

My tolerance has severely dropped since highschool. I used to be able to drink a large bottle of rum (The > 1Litre bottles) and still be civil, well spoken and charming. (As charming as a drunk youth can be). Now though, I think half a carton of beer would see me dancing badly and falling over.

One drink makes me giggle like I'm high, second drink nearly makes me pass out. Put me in the 'super-lightweight' group

This is a fairly recent discovery for me but, yes, yes I can quite well.
I drink a fair ammount when out and I've never gotten to the point where I can't walk/hold a conversation/remember things
Couple of weeks ago was sick for the first time from drinking but I could still remember everything fine the next day - my excuse was that I had barely eaten that day xD
Also never suffered from a hangover

I used to drink quite a lot of beer (of the real ale variety) on nights out about 6-8 pints with a few spirits later on, but now I mainly drinks spirits as I feel less bloated the next day which in my opinion is worse than a headache.
I have never thrown up due to alcohol, in fact the only time I've thrown up on a night out is when I ate a platter of nachos to share by myself and drank two large milkshakes in quick succession.

The most I've drank recently was at a BBQ where I had 6 pints of beer a pint of sangria and some assorted spirits my memory is a little fuzzy of that evening.

Now I just drink energy drinks and have more fun sober.
