What is your drinking tolerance for alcohol?

In a sitting, how many drinks do you normally have before feeling intoxicated or drunk? If you don't know an exact number, make an educated guess.

1.) Assume you're drinking on an empty stomach without food to slow or dilute the effects of the alcohol.
2.) Your own tolerance is the only factor that is weighed in.
3.) Use your own drink of choice to determine the amount you would have to consume. (beer, wine, whiskey, etc.)

I don't drink and never have. I'd probably be under the table after half a glass of wine because I haven't built up any kind of tolerance to it at all.

I drank one time- with my brother and his friends. I tried it out. Nothing special. I drank a LOT. I lied to my brother saying I hadn't drank much and they kept giving me new stuff to try (they were enebreated already). The entire time, I was still undercontrol. So according to the one time, I have a VERY high tolerance. So I guess I should pick the last answer.

And I'm VERY lucky I didn't die from alcohol poisoning that night!

one or two glasses of wine or beer will do it. i don't drink that often so i feel it within the first drink. and if i have more than two or three i usually feel sick.

I'd have to say 5 to 6 drinks. I would feel pretty tipsy after 3 or 4, but would be drunk on 5 or 6. And thats just drinking beer.

I don't know. I can't remember the last time I drank enough to get drunk. If I go to a bar with friends I never have more than 2 beers. I'm not a big drinker.

I'd say 7 to 8 drinks if I wanna get wasted but not get sick, 5 to 6, just to feel giggly, 11 or 12 if I wanna wake up in the drunk tank with an assault case

My drink of choice is a screwdriver (vodka and orange juice). I start feeling the effects after 2, get tipsy at 3 or 4, and start getting drunk around 5. I'm not crap faced drunk until 7 or 8, though. It's been a while since I got drunk, but I was drinking shots of whiskey and chasing it with beer. To be honest, I have no idea how much I drank then.

I'm a weakling. I start to feel it after half a drink, but intoxication takes at least two drinks on an empty stomach.

I put 5-6 but it really depends.
My limit would be 4 pints of beer but about 6 vodka redbulls

A liter of Vodka will knock me out on an empty stomach (I have been misspelling "stomache" all of my life...go figure). It will take awhile, but I will eventually pass out. However, I am a recovering alcoholic, and I don't drink anymore...so it might have changed.

Five to six, but this varies gravely. I remember nights when I drank half the bar and I was still sober.

At the moment, nil. I can't drink a drop without wanting to throw up. However, pre-pregnancy it was quite high. Between 12 and 15 vodkas before I felt much effect, or 7 pints of something heavier. Apart from red wine, where three glasses would send me reeling.

Depends. I don't drink much now so maybe 3 beers in a short period of time would do it.

On the other hand hard booze like Jack Daniels doesn't phase me at all. I used to drink a whole 750ml bottle of JD every night 10 years ago. Hardly got a buzz of it. I'd put 7-8 shots into a glass, ice and a half inch of 7-Up on top. Not too many of those and the bottle was gone. I stopped because it was tearing my stomach up (no hangovers though) and it scared me that I could drink that much with no effect and wondered what it was doing to my liver. This Christmas though I did get myself a bottle and put down almost the whole thing Christmas Eve with hardly more than a 'warm feeling'. Wonder why that is?

I can't handle wine at all. Besides tasting horrible one sip gives me a major headache right between the eyes within minutes. Must be allergic to it.

It completely depends on how much I've had to eat. I'm a cheap drunk if I haven't eaten that day.

That's a tough question, because I'm not in the habit of drinking on an empty stomach...and that does make quite a big difference. Another important factor that wasn't even mentioned is how fast you drink. I tend to drink fairly slowly, so I don't feel the effects so much.

In most normal situations (for me) I would be eating at the same time that I'm consuming my first few drinks. I average about a drink an hour. I limit myself to seven drinks as a rule. Any more than that and I would be quite drunk, and I don't really enjoy being that drunk.

I know that on an empty stomach I can feel some slight effect even after only one drink. I wouldn't finish a second drink without eating something. Normally it takes three or four before I really feel much effect, because I'm eating.

isn't drunk different than intoxicated?

2 = legally intoxicated for my body weight (within one hour)

I'm a social drinker, by the time I finish my 3rd drink, the first is out of my system..unless it's one of those rare situations that I'm not driving and I'm !@#<%&^PCUG IXCG*&UKI this survey is too frustrating, too many variables

Actually it depends on what mood or how i feel.....When im happy or hyper i will have to drink A Lot before i get drunk...if i am in a dogy attitude it doesnt take as much....and when im sad or disappointed it doesnt take very much.

I USED to drink & it only took a couple of wine coolers to get me tipsy. I can't drink anymore, so if I did it would probably take 1 drink.

3 to 4 vodka and cokes or WKDs (I'm a teen, leave me alone) before I start feeling drunk... around ten before I'm pretty damn pissed.
