Can you hold your booze?

[Zoom]

I've got a pretty good tolerance. The last couple of years I've started noticing that I can't really "mix" my alcohols...what I start off drinking, I stay drinking.

I could drink a fifth of whiskey in a night if I put my mind to it - without getting sick. I don't get the same enjoyment I used to but my tolerance is oddly high. A lot of Irish and Native American in my family might explain it. Oh, and the Navy surely helped raise my tolerance.

I can EASILY drink a 12 pack in a few hours and be feeling pretttty good. I don't bother with anything less than 8 anymore.

If I was drinking crap domestics like Bud Light, yeah, those go down pretty quick. The stuff that has 8-11% ABV, can't do quite as many in a row, LOL!

If I can ever get back to a spot that has a light rail close by, I can put back a lot more. Anymore I have to keep in mind the amount of driving I'll be doing.

In both hands usually

Errr... I dunno if I can hold it... But I'm British and we aren't exactly known for knowing our drinking limits... Suppose it's all relative. I don't drink till I'm sick anymore, which is a good start

Pretty much this

It depends how quickly I drink the drinks. If I spread a few drinks out by a half hour or so, I can probably have 3-4 before I start feeling it. But if they are much closer than that, I can barely get through 2 beer without feeling sick.

Nope, I am very much a light weight. I don't drink and weight 116 pounds soaking wet. So that pretty much explains it all.

I am a social drinker meaning I will have maybe one or two drinks in a social setting or just relaxing, but even after one drink I am feeling it.

I hate the feeling of being drunk so I never get to that point.

I am a major lightweight. If I average a drink ever 1.5-2 hrs I'm normally OK, any faster than that and I start to feel it. Besides, drinking makes me sleepy

Of course I can hold my booze---as long as it's in a glass and not in me!
