Cop breathalyzed me twice to be sure

I mean this is TIFU, there’s a lot of alcoholics in here. I’m not exactly concerned about kids like you who are triggered when they read my comments.

Alcohol tolerance is not static, there’s a variety of factors that affect tolerance as well as absorption rate. When I was drinking daily I was able to take 5 shots in a row just fine in the middle of the day without blacking out. Doesn’t mean I wouldn’t be blackout drunk if I took 5 shots now at the same weight given that I drink 1-2 beers once or twice a year, almost always the second one is because the first one got warm. It’s not uncommon for people to overestimate their tolerance to alcohol.

If you’re pouring 90mls of scotch in your drinks and it takes you four drinks to start feeling warm and fuzzy, you are most deffffinitely an alcoholic

I didn’t say my margin of error was correct. I said that my margin of error’s margin of error was correct. Or do you not understand the words that are typed across my comment?

Nice, so within my margin of error’s margin of error. I knew I was right about that.

Well mikes hard lemonade is less potent than liquor and hardly comparable.

Let’s take his mixed drinks for example. If the mixed drinks were over poured with 60ml instead of 44ml he would have had just over 4 drinks in 3 glasses.

Now let’s talk about the champagne. He didn’t say if it was poured in a flute or a wine glass, if it was in a wine glass then a glass of wine is supposed to be poured 1/3 full. Suppose the bartender poured it 2/3 full. That would essentially make it two glasses of wine. So 5 drinks can easily become 7+ drinks by over pouring

Alcoholism comes in many forms. Not every alcoholic is on the brink of dialysis and unemployed drinking daily. Prolonged periods of abstinence do not preclude someone from alcoholism.

The primary symptom of an alcoholic is an inability to control their drinking, e.g. binge drinking. A typical non alcoholic drinker usually will nurse their drink over a longer period of time, perhaps not even finishing it before it gets warm before going to get another. They will have a set limit on how many drinks (typically 1 or 2) they intend to have and will stick to that limit, possibly not even reaching it. On special occasions such as holidays they may drink more excessively but will do so in a responsible manner and likely will not be bingeing one after the other. They similarly do not drink with the motivation of “feeling it”.

Why would I need to ask about percentages when they already told me what they drink? Scotch is typically around 60% alc give or take 10 points.

I guess deductive reasoning is not a strength of yours.

How many fl ounces of alcohol are you putting in your drinks? You must be putting barely any in there if it takes you 4 drinks before you start getting warm and fuzzy

That’s funny because I weigh 140 pounds exactly lol.

From experience using my friends breathalyzer, my BAC when I was drinking would reach .08 after about 2-3 drinks in about a 2 or three hour period.

And I’m fairly certain about that because I avoided a DUI with a .07 after 2 drinks in 2 hours. I was drinking almost daily and felt fine.

Well your binge drinking would be responsible for your tolerance then.

Binge drinking is a sign of alcoholism. Not all alcoholics drink daily. Binging and going on runs are also signs of alcoholism.

Seek help.

I never experienced DARE so I don’t know what DARE cops say. I’m going to guess not considering I grow and use cannabis.

My experience with alcohol is that many people think they know their limit but actually don’t. Usually they base their limit on their drink of choice at their watering hole of choice. That may be at home or at a bar. With beer it is fairly easy to gauge your limit but with mixed drinks it absolutely is more difficult due to the nature of different bartenders pouring heavy or light depending on mood and training. Some bar tenders pour heavy thinking that a stiff drink will get them a bigger tip whereas others pour light assuming that the patrons will order more drinks.

Not to mention the fact that alcohol tolerance is circumstantial. One person may not show any signs of intoxication with a BAC of .08 and another person might appear heavily intoxicated at .08.

If OP had been drugged they likely would have felt extremely groggy and confused when they woke up. Waking up without a hangover is not a sign of being roofied.

Doubt it, Op had 5 drinks on 4 hours. Champagne, mixed drinks and a shot.

Most non-alcoholics would be pretty drunk off that. The only people who wouldn’t would be people who drink regularly / daily / multiple times a week and have developed a tolerance

I suspect that OP was not drugged. I don’t know how big of a person they are but it looks like they had 5 drinks in 4 hours.

• glass of champagne
• mixed drink
• shot
• mixed drink
• mixed drink

It’s very possible that the drinks had more alcohol than OP expected.

I know adults who don’t drink often, myself included, and that much alcohol would absolutely have me wasted.

Unless OP is an alcoholic with a high tolerance I’d def say it’s the alcohol

Actually he assumed you did have guy friends by asking about them.

How could he ask about what your male friends do if he believed you have none? 🤔
