How many times have you posted while drinking?
I keep the booze and the electronics separated for a very good reason! When I'm drinking or under any influence I'm like Sophia from The Golden Girls, but meaner! I think I'm funny.
I'd LOVE to see that!!! lol
I'm awful, I really am. Whenever I get drunk, I get talkative and utterly graceless, so I'll say whatever pops into my head, online or IRL. This sometimes has good consequences. Sometimes... extremely bad.
Do you mean drinking or drunk? Light sprinkles are ok but I've found if I'm too far into the ditch I start typing on the keyboard with my forehead and fists. Seems brilliant in the moment but later fairly incoherent and stupid.
I almost never drink anything alcoholic.
^Same. Never was a big drinker; can't tolerate it now.
@stinkeye_a I went to a beer-cider-cheese tasting a few weeks ago, and I had some cider samples, but that was probably less than six ounces over a few hours. Otherwise, I have a glass of wine maybe as often as twice a year, sometimes as little as once every couple of years. I've never been a drinker. I've never actually been drunk. I don't even like feeling buzzed.
@resserts I never liked feeling drunk; too scary to be out of control, too dull to not have my wits about me. I went from having an amazing tolerance and zero hangover (with no real desire to drink, go figure) to getting a headache before the first drink is finished and the worst hangovers from one drink--and this nagging feeling of subtle panic that I'm doing something very, very wrong as I feel the effects take hold. I don't have dependence, allergy, or moral issues...I think I just got more sensitive to the effects and now it feels like poison. Suits me fine. I never liked the taste. Except for cider, which I could never enjoy for the headaches. I had two fingers of white wine at a poetry workshop last month and I didn't like how that felt.
@stinkeye_a Regarding the "out of control" feeling, that's exactly how I feel about it. I hate not feeling in control of myself. I don't know how my tolerance is now, but I used to be able to drink a fair amount and feel nothing from it. That was a lot of years ago, though, so my ability to metabolize alcohol may be a lot different now. But I can still have a glass or two of wine (I prefer dry reds) with a meal and never feel much of anything. It probably relaxes me a bit, I'm sure, but nothing I can consciously say "I feel it."
@Akfishlady I almost asked whether tea counted.
@Akfishlady I have seemingly become more sensitive to everything: alcohol, caffeine, sugar. I recently weaned myself off of coffee and soda; my only caffeine is now a cup or two of green tea, and I'm not even sure I "need" that. Three years ago I drank Red Bulls on a whim. Now I can't even tolerate coffee.
I've put a lot of miles behind me, I probably have more miles in reverse than most have forward. Having said that the first 3 times I texted in a vehicle put me on the wrong side of the road.
The third time was a near miss.
I've never done it since.
In case someone reads this I misread it and thought it was driving not drinking. Lol ?
How about not so far. Doesn't mean I won't at some point. I prefer the non calorie option though.
I think I'm open and honest enuff as it is with further lowering the social veil of propriety. I get real talkative and then curl up around the porcelain fixture - it's thin line between nicely buzzed and blowin' chunks.
Glad we don't have to specify how many more times than once!!!
I'm usually doing something wicked when I drink, so not really. I'm posted here half-tanked, but not full blown hammered.
I have started some very active threads on FB after a few spiced buttered rum
