Why is it that if you have a drink in the afternoon...?!


Question:

Why is it that if you have a drink in the afternoon...?

the alcoholic variety, that you feel more drunk then you would in the evening, or is it solely me?


Answers:
We are programmed to sleep more than once a day, that's why you always feel sleepy after a big lunch, why the spanish have siestas, and why you always feel more drunk if you drink in the afternoon.

Just starting my first brandy n coke...I will tell you the outcome later...how many do I have to drink?

no you are quite right if i drink in the aft i get more drunk more quickly,i dont know why though.

i know what you mean. it happens to me too. maybe its because you haven't had a good meal to soak it up

I feel more loopy when I'm drinking at night because I'm more tired at night.

Almost time to start "Drunk Sunday" here! Tequila anyone?

i think its only you cos i don't get more drunk unless i drink all afternoon then into the small hours.

It could have something to do with when you last ate. If you haven't eaten for awhile & drink on an empty stomach it takes less alcohol for you to feel it.

i get that (on the very rare occasions i do it). i don't think you do really, its just that there are lots more sober people around in the day time so you tend to notice it a bit more if you've had a few. in the evening most people in the pub would have had a few and you are all on the same level so you don't feel so drunk

No, you are not alone. I had a beer at lunchtime with my husband the other weekend and had to go and have a little lie down! Felt very disoriented when i woke up!!

Me too, don't know why though.

I agree. I like to start drinking around 4 in the summer time. For some reason when im out in the sun and i drink i feel i get drunk sooner, to as if i was inside. idk, just me.
***Im asking around now for some yummy rum mixer recipes!! No luck yet! ANYONE KNOW OF ANY RECIPES FOR RUM. Entertainment purposes and outside. Something fruity.

its the same as any mind altering substance, there are fewer people in that frame of mind in the afternoon therefore your actions seem magnified. You can feel drunk on a placebo, i'm sure its all linked.

not sure y but it is true it happens to me aswell.

because your stomach is not as full, you are inbetween meals whereas in the evening you will have just eaten a meal

It is the sunlight, or any strong lighting, that heightens the affects of strong drink.

I often have a sherry in the afternoon on a Sunday whilst i watch TV

I start drinking at about lunch time and around five I've got a nice buzz going, but I'm not drunk until I cannot make my own drinks.

I'll tell you when I get around to drinking in the evening ^_^

Try having a drink for breakfast then you'll really feel the effects.

Its not the time, its the m, if you drink outside mood and atmosphere ifind that if you drink outdoors i get less drunk although i also feel sometimes the earlier you start the quicker you can get drunk too
