    I find anymore than 2-3 pints and id be full up to the neck...uncomfortably so

    wouldn't be drunk (maybe feeling it a tiny bit)...but jesus ive cousins/friends who easily drink 8-10 pints without getting a bit drunk

    but alas I rather it this way than having a big beer belly (not saying all people who drink a lot have big guts/beer bellies)
    that sounds so shallow:o

    Very interesting question. I don't drink. I don't do drugs.

    I think when you become antisocial or a nuisance it's too much.

    I'm a slight person so i imagine it would hit me hard if i did.

    What I am getting from this thread is that some people must be spending serious amount of their income on alcohol and perceive this to be normal socialising.

    A fair few of the guys i have date have been this way it takes a while for you to realize though. A lot is spent on drink and other things i would imagine and whatever else taxis etc.

    I don't feel comfortable around drunk people at all any more. I wish men and women could see how unattractive they are with too much drink taken. Deeply unattractive. I have seen some people post obviously sloshed pics on fb i don't get it.

    I'd go months without drinking and them probably get a 'goo' and go on a binge (I'd say about 6 bottles of beer).. Though lately I haven't been bothered drinking, the hangover I get makes it not worth it!

    This Xmas for example the other half and I have had a couple of baileys coffees and a couple of cocktails tonight and that's about it. I'm definitely not a drinker! Have a hens party in a few weeks so I'll save myself for that now!

    I'm a non drinker now, but when I drank "socially" it'd have the equivalent of 4 or 5 pints plus some wine and shots

    Did me no good - haven't drank in close on 4 years and could never go back to it. Don't have a problem with anyone else drinking, or people doing it in front of me - it just isn't for me.

    I still love going to bars and hanging out with people, at worst I'll have a NA beer but usually just stick to soft drinks or Tonic. There is no better place to catch up with people than in a bar.
