I haven’t consumed any alcohol for years, there’s no point. I’ve never been an alcoholic or problem drinker. I did some of the typical young adult binge drinking which I had a normal tolerance level, did feel buzzed etc, otherwise I was a sporadic social drinker until about 10 years ago.

I can’t get drunk now. I can drink alcohol until I puke (I do get a terrible hangover from drinking a lot) but I don’t feel drunk, don’t stagger, slur my words, feel or act buzzed in any way. I think it’s because I have a chronic illness, but it’s a very strange side effect.

Good for a while, and then less good for a longer while. I also get to observe all of my health metrics going sharply in the wrong direction after - resting heart rate shoots up, heart rate variability plummets, etc. This can last for multiple days as well.

It’s gotten to the point where I no longer really feel like it’s worth it to drink many times. I still do on occasion, but I take up the offer far less times than I used to as a younger man.

Drunk and tired AF. I hardly drink anymore because it leaves me feeling absolutely exhausted for a long time.

Well, I’m right at the bottom of my second pint of beer tonight.

There’s a very slight numbness to my lips, nose and eyelids which for some reason I kinda like. Apathy is at normal levels but it’s maybe a little more good natured? Like I’m in a “Maybe we can just shoot and bury the rich” kind of headspace right now.

I want some fried cheese. Cheese curds, mozarella sticks, something. Salt encrusted fat please.

Then maybe I’ll go lay on the couch, watch that documentary about neutron stars again, probably the cat will cuddle up in my armpit. Somehow laying on that couch makes my knee hurt though. Need to figure that one out.

Two, I’m fine. But I’m a giant. Four, especially if they’re beers, and my sleep quality tanks. Either unable to fall asleep altogether or terrible quality sleep. So I usually stay below that amount.

ive been completely sober for years and i like it way better. if I’m with friends that are drinking though, I can blend in and pretend to be drunk. I just start scream-laughing and waving my arms around falling over and saying really stupid shit then I’ll be embarrassed about later

Hot (literally temperature wise) and red. I have the asian flush, so just one drink if drank too fast makes me red quickly. There’s not much of a difference anymore by the second drink, other than my hearing getting a little worse (due to said reaction to alcohol).

Mild headache and nausea usually

One or two beers? Absolutely nothing

One or two shots? I barely get a buzz

People always think I’m bragging when I say this, but guys, having a high tolerance is truly a curse. More money spent and more time in the bathroom. I drink 2 nights a week btw, so high tolerance is baseline for me

I personally like the feeling of a drink (sometimes a double) inside of me. I generally feel relaxed and more sociable. I hate feeling drunk, though. Like I just can’t stand feeling out of control like that. (This is why I can count the number of times I’ve been drunk in my life—59 years—on slightly more than one hand.)

I spent slightly over a decade as a teetotaller, but decided that it was kind of silly if you didn’t have a specific problem that made alcohol something to avoid. (There are several good reasons ranging from “I’m an alcoholic” to “I just don’t like the taste/feeling.”)

Generally I’ll have maybe three drinks in an average week. Sometimes at festivals I’ll have a few more, but spread out with an hour between drinks so I don’t build up to serious intoxication levels.

I think the last time I had two drinks was about six years ago when a friend brought home some fancy elderflower mead after visiting England.

Those two drinks had me giggling and silly. My head was spinning, I was sweating slightly, and I was perfectly okay with all of the above. I can’t remember the time before that.

Obviously, I’m not a drinker of alcohol on any regular basis

When I have a single drink, it’s rare for me to feel much of anything because I’ll be sipping it over an hour or two, and I’ll have picked the drink for the taste, so I don’t want to get tipsy and enjoy it less.

As such, I don’t have any lingering effects either. My body can handle the amounts I’m taking in without any issues.

Even those two glasses of mead, all I felt the next day was a little extra grogginess for that first hour awake. After that, I was good to go.

I get a huge headache if I have one or two drinks. Past that I get tipsy

One drink shouldn’t have any effect on a person. Unless by one drink you mean something like half a litre of something above 10% alcohol.
