ability to drink more alcohol

[stevie-p]

Has anyone ever found that some nights out on "the lash" you become tipsy after only a few drinks...but on another night you seem to be able to drink lots more before the effect hits you??..why is this..and..is there anything to take to prepare you for an evenings drinking?

stevie im assuming you're a man. from a woman's point of view its common knowledge that if you drink while having a period you will get more drunk. haven't the faintest notion why though. also what you've eaten that day and the amount of sleep you've had will determine how drunk you get. ever heard the term 'eating is cheating'? also, i heard someone once say that lunar cycles can determine how drunk you get, maybe you could research that idea.

there is a daily supplement you can take called milk thistle. it helps protect the liver enabling it to process alcohol quicker. it helps repair the damage done to the liver and lessen the effects of a hangover (supposedly).

Happy lashing!

It really all depends on the mood your in at the time, its a fallacy that eating beforehand helps.

Talking as someone who has suffered from an eating disorder in the past i can tell you that it is DEFINATLEY not a fallacy about eating before you go drink....i dont know the science of it but i know that one day i would get ****** on a glass of wine and one day be sober on a bottle depending on whether i'd eaten.

apart from that then just the physical state of your health and how tired you are etc etc

i think it all depends on who you're with and the atmosphere where you are as well.

Also there is something called "R U 21" which is a tablet that you have with every alcoholic drink (that is if you remember to take them!). It is supposed to prevent hangovers. Never used them myself though so i wouldn't know if it works or not!
