Alcoholic drinks & you

[redrhodie]

I'm still fun to hang out with. Really, I am!

I'm willing to wager you're more fun to hang out with!

As for me, I can't drink at all. I'm in the red face club. I'm wondering if that's an allergic reaction? Anyway, it just makes me feel bad, so I don't do it.

I am with indigoiis...has not been an easy thing to admit to myself! I was quite the partyer...after a bad marriage it seemed to spiral out of control! Thank goodness for a loving non-needing-a-drink hubby I am on the right path now...

kudos to those who can and enjoy...

And people tell me I am fun, still...

Oh, boy, I...uummm, pretty much can party till the cows come home. So, could my DH. We (I say we like it was me, really was my DH) got into a lot of trouble a few years back. Hence, my DH will be sober 5 years on Aug. 13, 2008!

I gave it up to support him. Best thing to do in our case. I wasn't to far behind him. He can now finally stand up and say, "Hi, I'm Patrick and I can't just have one."

We are not lightweights, we are heavyweights and I wish that we were a little more like you, Shootingstar.

I definitely feel the effects after one drink (more relaxed, more talkative) but no adverse physical effects. Two drinks are a bit much--I get a little goofy (not to the point of acting a total fool, but certainly not my usual self) and then my stomach ends up not feeling so good later, at least if I have to ride the train etc. home. I'm only 108 lbs, so I think that explains it.

One thing for certain, for the max. amount I can drink which is what I described at start of thread, just doesn't allow my body to relax to sleep quickly. My heartbeat is fast when I go to bed...and my bladder well..
