What makes a person a "light weight"?!
Answers: I can have three drinks at the bar and be lit. (Cheap Date) Yet I've seen others who can drink and drink and show no effects. Why is that? I had four tonight so I'm good and lit, lol./
Depends on what you are drinking (the amount of alcohol in it)
Your body weight
If you are drinking on an empty stomach
How fast you drink
Your metabolism.
All of those combined determine how fast you get drunk. Some things you can control, EAT while you drink both before and during. It will also help with the hangovers.
Drink more slowly. Drink one glass of something else in between each drink. For instance, have a drink then drink a glass of water. Sip it. It will also help with the hang over.
The what you are drinking. Some things are higher in alcohol. If you are drinking mixed drinks, tell the bartender to mix it lighter.... More coke, less rum.
You can't control your body weight and you can't control your metabolism.
someone like you and me, lol. im a light weight too. my friends can stay up all night drinking everything. mixing everything too. i can barely get down four drinks. after one, my cheeks get rosey and i get mouthy
3 or fewer drinks
Are you asking seriously? Tolerance. People that drink more often, build up tolerance. That's why WE (sorry LOL) can drink more than you!
One beer and they are done for, and maybe up to three.
I have seen friends that can drink all night and get up and go to work the next day.....and they don't drink but maybe once a week, but when they do they pour it down like water.
Me, I am what you call a baby baby light weight, why, I get one sip of Champagne on my anniversary only, once a year, I am a diabetic, so I do not touch the stuff at all.....bad for ya even if not a diabetic.
but hey be proud your not a lush, ha ha
The one's who drink & drink without showing the effects right off, are people who drink a lot all the time!
I'm a light weight, too and I work at a bar! After one drink I can sure feel it. And I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a wussy drinker. lol I think it's about building up a tolerance over a period of time. My bf can drink me under the table. Most of the time I can't even tell he's drunk. Of course he's way older than me and has had time to hone his drinking skills.
