Poll: Your alcohol tolerance

[SwimmingRock]

No matter how much alcohol i have put into my system at one time, i have never suffered a hangover, and i drink pretty frequently

Similar, with the one exception that I got a hangover at age 5 once. Ever since then, however, I can get totally shit-faced to the point of losing an entire evening of memories and wake up fine after a 5-hour nap.

As for getting shit-faced, that requires more alcohol than most people can survive. Suffice it to say that the last time I drank two entire bottles of red wine and 5 glasses of Calvados, I was buzzed. Still remember everything, didn't do anything stupid and walked home just fine afterwards. I really only get drunk if I dedicate myself to the task. So, yeah, I went with the Thor option in the poll.

Never been hungover. Never been drunk. Never want to. What's the point?

the point, sir, is that it is much easier to dance when everyone around you is drunk, and drunk people are much easier to put up with when you are likewise.[/quote]

That's sort of a terrible reason. It's like saying the drunks ruin everything and you can't beat 'em so join 'em.

 

[BlackStar42]

I think the most I've ever had in one night was: a glass of wine, a pint of beer, two pints of cider, 2 Jack Daniels & Cokes, two shots of Jagermeister, 1 shot of vodka and 1 vodka and Red Bull. Went to bed with a headache and feeling queasy, woke up and was absolutely fine, except for a slight thirst which was solved with a cup of tea.

 

[DirgeNovak]

At my last office party I drank approximately four bottles of wine, that means about 16 glasses, or 32 units. I felt fine the next morning.

Therefore I must believe that I am Thor.

The being drunk part is quite fun, you can get away with all sorts of shit you wouldn't normally do. The being hungover part is what you generally try to avoid. Depending on what you drink, it can taste quite nice, there's another reason for you. That said, I'm not such a fan of clubs, but a few pints with friends in the pub? Sign me up

 

[Smiley Face]

No idea - don't drink, never have. That said, genetically speaking, it's probably a pretty high tolerance.

 

[GodofDisaster]

It takes about six to eight vodkas before I'm feeling even tipsy, so quite high. However add rum, yeagers and other spirits then I'm away to fun land. Then again I don't drink beer only spirits, so I guess I'm just used to it by now.

Also I've never thrown up, nor have I ever had a hangover.

 

[Elementary - Dear Watson]

Depends what I drink... If I stick with G+T I will not only spend ages getting drunk, but I can slide quite a few down and not get a hang over!

Port on the other hand will seriously put me out of action!

Guinness is my middle ground... and has a 50/50 chance of killing me the nect day after my standard 8 pints!

Same here. I'm luckily one of those people that doesn't feel like he's gonna die when he wakes up.

Pretty dehydrated, but never a hangover.

Also, I think the shittieness of a hangover is directly parallel to how much sugar is in the drinks you are taking. Why wine hangovers are apparently worse than most others.

 

[Vkmies]

15+, been since I turned like 16 or something. I don't really get hangovers. Just if I drink like 0,5 litre od harde booze during one night. I can down 12+ beers a night with pretty minimal problems. I will be pretty drunk, yes, but the next morning, aside from maybe a light headache or increased tiredom, I will be completelly and utterly fine.

Comes with being Finnish, I guess.

I have no friends.
What's good to drink? Of the two things I've sipped, both are awful.

 

[Lusty]

Hangovers happen when you get older. Trust me. Everyone on here claiming they don't get them, you've got a horrible shock coming to you one Sunday morning.

When I was younger I could drink anything I wanted and not have a hangover. Now a couple of pints is enough to make my head explode the next day. Doesn't stop me though!

 

[TerribleAssassin]

Can handle it quite well.

Took me a can of Carlsberg, two bottles of cider, five cans of Fosters and a shit tonne of vodka, cider and whatever I could find to get me drunk last party, and I was one of the least drunk.

As for hangovers? They're for amateurs

 

[Archroy]

The strategic chunder has been around for a long, long time.

You're showing your age dude, it's a tactical chunder these days.

Captcha 'down the hatch'.

Is this new Captcha fucking psychic or something? It always seems to be kind of relevant.

Get out of my garden you bloody kids.

What have you tried? What tastes nice will inevitably vary from person to person, but I'm quite partial to Jack Daniels when mixed with coke. Cider's another favourite drink of mine. If you have a sweet tooth, you can get toffee apple cider (it's nice, but you will be mocked for drinking it). Alcohol is a bit of an acquired taste though, I certainly didn't like it the firat few times I tried, but it does grow on you.

 

[RyoScar]

Not that high, I don't drink a lot mainly because being Drunk (not being able to think straight) isn't worth the price of a collosal headache the next morning, in my opinion.

 

[SuperNova221]

3x bottles of Stella Cidre will give me a horrible hangover, mostly headache, for the entire day afterwards.

Yet, drinking so much that I puke, pass out and can't remember the entire night won't give me a hangover. That'll be fine.

So... 2-5?

Damn your copious amounts of ethanol-dehydrogenase!

 

[BehattedWanderer]

Good genes and lots of practice mean I'm able to hold my own in terms of alcohol, which I'll say as about 20 units before I start to feel like ass. Though, I don't drink as much as I used to, and have found a couple of preferred drinks that I like to stick with.
