If you are not drinking to get drunk/tipsy...why drink? Not many alcoholic drinks are actually nice. With the exception of malibu and wkd. Lager and such especially, ****ing gross and I can only drink them when I am already well on my way to tipsyness

incorrect

wine, whisky, brandy, sherry etc are all lovely drinks with huge ranges of taste and styles

you need to develop your palate

What other reason is there to drink like I don't really love the taste of alcohol so I don't get the point of just having a glass of something.

Plus it's highly calorific.

Oh I do like wine too.

Whiskey though, nope. Never had brandy and tried my grandmas sherry once as a kid and it (at the time) tasted like flavoured nailvarnish

Sometimes just have the odd beer/cider/pimms in the summer because it's nice/refreshing.

But I will drink at parties to get somewhere between tipsy and drunk because I find I'm more open and less caring about being shy/polite. I've only ever blacked out twice and one of those occasions was because my drink was spiked, the other was when I was fifteen.

Can't really find your limit without getting to that state once or twice in your life though so life lessons and all that...

what tends to happen to those who drink to excess is that the best part of drinking is after two or 3 when you feel great, then you chase that feeling down and it does not come back and you start to shut down and by that stage you tend to swap that chase for a chase to oblivion

and then repeat

and then repeat

I've been drunk plenty of times especially when I was younger. Nowadays I like the tipsy feeling, I mainly drink wine with a meal or in front of the TV on a weekend, get a little tipsy and go to bed. If I was out or at a party I would drink bottles of beer because I could drink that for longer without getting really drunk

Me, I could handle hangovers 10 years ago, not now so tipsy is fine, drunk is not

I count being tipsey as being drunk tbh like if I'm in no state to drive thats what I determine as being drunk.

Well you shouldn't be driving after any amount of drink really

I'd consider drunk to be word slurring and falling around the place

I don't drive yet and wouldn't really drive after having even one drink because alcohol effects me pretty quick (like I'm not a light weight because it takes a lot of drinks to get me **** faced but one drink and i feel the effects).

for me drunk is when I start chatting **** and being even more talkative than normal. Also this sounds really weird but I can kind of feel it in my hands when I drink, like pins and needles but really subtle.

idk I get it a bit in my lips sometimes too. I thought it was to do with the fact that you're a bit numb to pain when you're drunk

1 bottle of wine is having a wee drink

2 bottles would be getting drunk and being irresponsible

drinking anything and driving is a big, big mistake

Cal. · 07-09-2016, 06:34 PM

Tipsy is like when you feel good and confident etc
Drunk is like when you're a mess and can hardly function etc

That's the way I see it.

Vicky. · 07-09-2016, 06:37 PM

A full bottle of wine would have me totally mortal

Assuming we are talking real wine and not 7.5% lambrini or something

That was one thing I noticed about London, people drank a lot on their lunch breaks. People over here don't drink at all on their lunch breaks (not that I have seen much of anyway) which is odd since we're the ones with the drinking reputation
