Wellll, I'mma Cheap Drunk

[Andrea Brune Wagnon]

Had a great time with my friend Jeanie yesterday. And my tolerance is waaaaay lower than it used to be. 

Must adjust accordingly. Anyone have any tips on social drinking? It's so easy to just order a drink with everyone else. But since my tolerance went down, that is not as fun as it used to be. I started to feel like crap before the evening was through. 

I struggle with drinking juice, sodas, or ginger ale and the like. I don't like all that sugar. I guess I could order sipping tequila and glasses of water? 

I don't know what a safe level of shots of tequila is. Anyone? I'm almost to the point where if I drink at all, I want to be home. So laaaaaazy! LOL But I love to bar hop with Jeanie... Dammit. She has some fun friends to visit with. On the other hand, are they really that fun? struggle... struggle.

Peer pressure BLOWS! 

Except when it's Game On. ;)

Club soda with lime is your friend. Just alternate with cocktails.

I hate having hangovers mere hours after I'm done being drunk.

This is not the'Droid you're looking for.

I sip tequila on the rocks. Let the ice start to melt before you sip. sip slow. Drink ice water with it. More ice water than tequila. You can go all night and feel fine the next day. Stay from carbonated and sweet chasers. They will make you feel like shit on their own. Been there done that. I'm afraid that your tolerance to sweet and/or carbonated stuff is inherited. You will have to find your own pace. If they are conditioned drinkers (I think they have the same reaction but are better at hiding it) they will be able to do 2 to 3 drinks to your one. That's why you need to sip water between.

Excellent advice. Answered all my questions. Yep. I noticed the family pattern on the sweet/carbonated stuff. Liked it when I was a kid. Do not like it now. I remember being baffled that you didn't like it, but figured you knew yourself. To each their own. Now it's obvious. My body doesn't like it. 

The 2-3 drinks to my one is priceless. Plus, I forgot I lost weight. Can't drink as much when you are lighter. 

I drank water in-between light beers. What I didn't do is eat properly. And hydrate before. Both of those are key. 

I can drink all day on the river. Difference is I'm doing the serving. I eat a big meal before I go. I snack while I'm drinking. And I drink lots of water during the day too. Plus I'm being physical and it's over a longer period. And I drink a couple, then pace myself and I stop at a reasonable time before the day is done. And then eat yummy yummy Mexican food! With about a half a gallon of iced tea. :-)

Very helpful! Thanks!

I've found the exact same thing and lord I was a BIG drinker before..  But thanks to Epiphany I've fallen back in love with Bitters..   So I now tend to order club soda and bitters because that's what I did when I wasn't on my day off but went to a show or a bar.   Then in between for actual drink drink I just add vodka to the club soda and bitters.   Has anyone noticed how annoying drunk people are when you aren't one of them?

[Andrea Brune Wagnon]

And there it is.

Drunk people are annoying when you aren't one of them. 

Dammit.

I can't stand being around drunk people when I'm sober. Alcohol is a bad drug. Sad it is our only legal intoxicant. The world would be am much n better place if bars served weed.

It us also when you quit drinking that you notice how much of or social lives revolve around alcohol. People meet to drink all the time. I'm not a fan....
