Drunken-ness

[Eels]

Why is it that some nights I can quietly sip away at a whole bottle of wine and go to bed feeling a bit merry, yet other nights I can only manage a glass or two before feeling really sicky and having heartburn?

And why does alcohol give me the munchies?!

It's them Chicken Kievs!!

one of the effects of alcohol is to lower blood sugar levels, hence the munchies. Its useful when treating peolple who aren't eating enough (eg some cancer sufferers) as the blood sugar lowering gives you an appetite.

A lot of it's mood. Ever been determined to get drunk and not been able to? Or unexpectedly been completely floored after only a few?
