How much do you and your H drink?
You are going balls out partying. What is the most you have? The most your H has?
Let's say you're at someone's house and you're calling a cab or staying the night there, or catching a ride with a DD from the bar. Or maybe you're at the lake for the weekend. I need types of drinks, and number amounts.
Re: How much do you and your H drink?
Okay, this makes me feel better. We kill a 30 at the lake no problem if we're there from noon until late that night. We always stay the night where we're at...but it's just different at the lake. You can drink so much more.
If we're at a bar, I'd say H will have 6 or so and I'll have at least 4. If we're at a friend's, I don't usually count, but we mostly bring a 12 pack and split it.
Dh and I aren't huge drinkers. But we are out and having a good time we usually have about 2 drinks each. I remember when we were dating we went to Dallas to stay with his brother for awhile and that was the first time I saw DH drunk. Not pretty.
I usually drink more than DH now. I also finish 2 drinks to his 1 beer. Sometimes I drink more than I realize and then it catches up with me. Since I don't drink beer my drinks are usually some kind of cocktail mixed with large amounts of vodka or rum.
Ha, makes me feel better too. Hey, aren't you the person who recommended the Relax Reisling ages ago? If so, i tried it last week and really liked it. I don't like many wines, so thanks for contributing to my alcoholism.
If we go out to a bar, H is typically the DD. I will have 6 to 8 cocktails and 2 or 3 shots, I will dance the night away and hug everyone I know. (I don't do beer.) If DH doesn't have to drive at a bar he will typically have 6 to 8 beers and a few Crown and Coke.
If we are at someone's house it is nothing for him to kill a 12 pack and/or a medium sized bottle of Crown. I drink more at the bar than I do at a "gathering".
This post makes me feel like a drunk. Although, we just went out for lunch and I was commenting that so far I do not miss drinking.
Neither of us will go past three drinks in a night because we hate feeling sick after drinking. For me, that would mean a combination like two beers and a martini or margarita, or three glasses of wine. For DH, two rum and cokes and a beer. For both of us, that has to be spread out over the evening, too!
ETA: I forgot about the lake scenario. I could put away 5-6 beers in a day/evening at the lake. DH too.
H doesn't drink. He MIGHT have like, a Crown and Coke, but that's about it.
As for me, I could probably have a couple of beers, a couple of Rum and Cokes and a couple of Vegas bombs. Might be able to squeeze a couple of shots in there, too. I drink way more than he does, and I don't even drink that often.
H and I aren't big drinkers. If we go out he may have 1 or 2 beers. I don't like beer, but I may order a margarita or some sort of fruity drink. If we go to someone's house or the lake H may have 6 or so beers. I will drink a few of whatever is available that isn't beer.
The last we both got prett trashed at the lake which was about a month ago I went to the store bought me an 18 pk, 30 for H-he holds his beer pretty well and can drink with the best of em and 3 bottles of Boones. That was suppose to last us that night and the next day. Anyways when we got up the next morning and I looked in the ice chest I had 3 beers left and H has 4 or 5 we knocked out the Boones that night and drank more over at another friends camp sight.
When we go out DH is usually the DD-he will have 5 or 6 through out the night and me I will usually have about 5-7 beers and 4-6 coconut rum and pinapple jucies.
I'm a light-weight. I admit it. Takes me 3-4 glasses of wine and I'm done--by the second glass I'm starting to feel really good. Even after 1 silver Patron margarita on the rocks I'm feelin good. Yes, complete light-weight. But, I've never been a huge drinker. Since I became a wine lover, I probably drink more now than I ever have (and that only being a few glasses a week, if that).
Now DH, he can drink a quite a bit more depending on the beverage. He seems to hold his liquor pretty good, and I've only seen him completely trashed a handful of times in our years together. He likes his Jack and Coke. Drink of choice and can drink quite a few and still be okay.
Byron's carries Pacific Rim Sweet Riesling--delicious! It's my new favorite. If you like Relax, I think you'll enjoy the Pacific Rim brand, too.
Balls out partying? I just bust out the shots and lose count. You know this. lol. I honestly can't tell you the last time I remember DH getting drunk. He has a couple of beers sometimes, but he hardly ever gets drunk.
I would say that he drinks more often, but when I put my mind to it, I can get the job done. I never ever drink beer, he really doesn't either. I'm a wine snob- if we're out on the town, I usually drink Bacardi/diet though because the markup on wine is outrageous. If it's a house party or something though, it's nothing for me to polish off a bottle and a good part of another before I tap out.
Class class class.
I've only gotten puke n' pass out drunk one time since I've met H though... and he hasn't ever puked so I think we keep it in line when need be. Just don't feed me shots if you want me to have half a chance....
Thanks, I'll give it a try!
Wow, all this makes me feel better about drinking. I think nothing of drinking a bottle of wine (it's 4-5 glasses, depending on how you pour...or two of my really big glasses!) at a party if I'm drinking wine, 5-6 beers (at most, then I get really full) or 4-5 cocktails out at a bar at the most, because the cost soon becomes prohibitive.
I would not drink this much if I had to drive in a short time. I have killed more than that in my past, on long nights. I don't really do shots anymore...not that I really ever did. I have an issue with swallowing them ha.
Well, who drinks more, me or H? Me.
The last time I went out and "balls out" partied I had 7 beers (5 were Texas beers), 3 shots and an LIT. This was too much...
Usually I will start out with a mixed drink like a vodka tonic or a margarita and then switch to beer and maybe throw in a shot or two.
I haven't been to a bar with the H in a long time so I don't really know how much he drinks... That's pretty sad but such is life with 2 kids!
