Ugh...

[Eniliad]

Okay, so... on the 18th of January, I turned 21, which in addition to being my birthday, also means I can legally purchase/drink alcohol in the US in public for the first time ever (yeah, we're rather Puritan that way...). So tonight, we all went out for pizza, salad, and drinks. I got one(1) glass of Chardonnay wine. That's it.

And yet, I am... not trashed, but it screwed me up pretty well. I was giggly, couldn't concentrate, stumbled a bit walking forward and now am feeling pretty sick. Actually, I think the pizza contributed more to that - I had a LOT. Either way, I prove yet again that I can't hold my alcohol worth a shit. To be honest, I think if the drinking age were lower, I probably could by now. Kinda silly.

But yeah... this is why I don't drink very often. I just can't take it.

If you had a lot of pizza, the alcohol shouldn't be having that much of an effect. If it is having that strong of an effect, you probably just shouldn't drink.

[The Right Honourable Mlle Antéchrist]

Are you on any meds? Some of them can influence how much of an effect alcohol has on you. Could also be at least partially due to the placebo effect.

[Sleepy]

That does sound like overkill after just one glass of the stuff. I know different people have different levels of tolerance, but one glass doesn't make me stumble. Maybe get giggly, but not as bad as what you're describing, and I'm a fairly small person.

Buy a barbed cat-o-nine-tails and flagellate yourself every day for 45 minutes. Apply leeches and salt to the wounds. Subsist only on pages torn from the King James Bible, and pray every hour even if you have to wake up to do so. Soon your susceptibility to alcohol will be a thing of the past.

Fuck Yeah'd.

No, I'm not on any meds. Yeah, I probably should just stay away from alcohol for the most part - I'm clearly quite susceptible to it. Funnily enough, I can have a rum and coke, and not suffer from the effects. Hell, I barely get a hangover from it. Still, I only drink at all once every three months or so, so no worries. I'm not about to drink myself to death.

Didn't you make a thread/post about how hard wine hits you in this forum before?

[Eniliad]

I may have mentioned it at some point, but I didn't make a thread about it, no. If the fact that I've mentioned something twice causes you some grief, I would point out that I'm by far not the first person to ever say something more than once, on any given topic.

Welcome to the lightweight club!  There's a reason I stop after one beer.
