Why Do I Get Drunk So Quickly?

[Tom9348]

I am a 25 year old, relatively big guy from years of heavy weightlifting, however, alcohol seems to make me drunk quicker than guys way skinnier than myself. Now if I have got quite a lot of food on my stomach, I can drink about 4 pints before I feel really tipsy, but if I’ve only got a normal amount of food on my stomach I’ll feel buzzed after two pints. How come I get drunk so quick?

I worked in an environment where a alcoholic beverage was the norm after work and play. The Student doctors after a game of rugby would invite their opponents to the bar at St Mary's hospital. They usually drank their losing guests under the table .Of course they kept sociable company and were not so rude or ignorant to comment on their guests choice to abstain and drink soft drinks. It depends on the company you choose to keep I suppose.

weak smile.....thanks for the comment....

Well THAT was a circuitous route for sure.

I have always been teetotal, and strangers who tried to taunt me quickly came off worse - verbally of course.

Drink slower. My colleagues gave me a resin house brick with a glass stuck on the top. I wasn't particularly proud of the gift but I got the hint.

was that your khazi, retro? the proverbial to all below as you sat there in Utopia?

Roy - It's not 'bizarre' in the slightest.

I was merely making clear that I dealt with unwelcome comments with my wits, not my fists.

[DTCwordfan]

My God, retro is Bert Lahr in reincarnation....Bhuddism rules again. Thanks douglas for your inspired re-clarification?....

[royfromaus]

Strangers in your neck of the woods taunt pop drinkers?

You should move.

[andy-hughes]

Please re-read my post Roy, I was referring to my early twenties, more than forty years ago.

[royfromaus]

And non of these real men had a go at you with their fists once they had been badly beat by your wit?

Wow...you're good.

[andy-hughes]

Goodnight Roy.

I knew I'd witnessed the birth of a catchphrase a few days ago.

[andy-hughes]

Douglas - It's less of a catchphrase, more a case of, to the recipient, and they vary -

You're off on another of your nasty pointless needling thread-derailing fight-picking expeditions, and I'm shutting you down before you even get started.

That's what it is, now you and anyone else who follows that sad pattern, knows what it means.

Makes for nice tidy on course threads, saves me getting wound up, and frustrates the nasty pointless small minded juvenile culprits.

A result all round.

[royfromaus]

Why on earth do you get wound up?

Use your famous wit instead.

[andy-hughes]

Zzzzzzzzz.....

[royfromaus]

Yeah, that's it.

Classic andy!
