Reply to: Do you know when you have had enough ?

[Lockhouse]

I now know when to stop. I learnt it sometime between the ages of 18 and 25 when I had lots of practice.

What I have found is that ever since I reached 35 (over 10 years ago) the limit at which I've had enough has continually decreased. It's definitely quality over quantity these days. I really love drinking, I mean that, I really do, but I make sure what I drink is worth drinking so that although I don't have the absolute capacity that I used to, I savour the experience much more.

Did you call her again, or did she just carve her number in your arm

No, I feel ill long before I get dangerously drunk. Quite unlike my brother who can throw up while laying in a stupor and a pile of sick. I'm not good at throwing up, it is very painful.

Thats a pretty subtle pointer - and I think you are pretty astute if you manage to pick up on it every time....
I bet there must have been a few times when you missed the nuances of projectile vomit and carried on as if nothing had happened
ie Attempting to pull the heavenly angel at the bar.

NB Another "pointer" would be if you noticed that the heavenly angel was (amazingly) wearing exactly the same colour neon boob tube and wide belt as the ugly fat slapper you told your mates was the biggest minger in the place earlier......

More amazing still - the heavenly angel also seems to miss your "subtle pointer" and is still intent on playing tonsil tennis 30 seconds later - and she pays the £20 for the taxi to her place..............

I usually can tell when I've had too much when........I've vomited all over my trousers and shoes.

I have an alarming capacity for vodka

But I do usually know when to stop and go for a taxi

[NotAllThere]

If there's a gap in drinking, then I tend to stop. Otherwise, by the time I get to ~5 pints, I don't want any more.

Funny - if I'm at a restaurant that only sells 33cl bottled beer, I drink far less than at one that does draught pints. Down to the the timing I guess. If I drink slower, I drink less.

U'm Scottish -

Erm, I'm a big northern bloke.

However, I was sober on Saturday at the Ladies Night. Good job really as if I hadn't been I'd have twatted some big cheese who said something out of order - twice.

Oh well, I must be getting older. Notice I didn't say "more mature"!

[Not So Wise]

When i have had enough i just stop, generally always have even when i was kid as never really enjoyed getting totally and utterly rat arsed as i just blank out rest of the night and never know if the massive hangover was worth it

[Gonzo]

I can't really put this down to self-control, but if I am out I am aware of the point that I have to stop drinking and get myself home.

That is not the same as rationing my intake so that I can stay out all night though.

[Cliphead]

I seem to have an off switch whatever I drink, usually just don't feel like drinking any more after 3-4 pints or a bottle of wine.

Not drunk is he who from the floor
Can rise alone and still drink more
Drunk is he who prostrate lies
Without the power to drink or rise
