How can you tell if you had enough alcohol for one night?
Me and my sister always love to go partying every weekend. Each party that we go to entails a lot of drinking. We drink pretty much anything that is offered to us from vodka to champagne and from tequila to sake. We sometimes drink so much that we literally crawl out of the bar and into our car. With all these partying that we've been doing for the past months, I just want to know how high is the tolerance level of the human body when it comes to alcohol drinking. I believe that asking this way would be a lot better than to going to a bar and finding it out ourselves, so any bit of insight is very helpful. Thanks!

In general, Harvey, the average adult can "tolerate" 1 oz of alcohol per hour; that is to say, 1 beer, 1 glass of wine, 1 mixed drink as one serving usually contains an oz of alcohol.
And by "tolerate," I mean, "metabolize," that is, use up, absorb.
But if you and Sis are crawling out of the bar, that means you are impaired, and if you're driving, you are a danger to yourself and others.
If you are predisposed to become an alcoholic, the kind of drinking you're doing will probably result in a dependency, so that your body craves alcohol frequently. And because humans tend to develop a tolerance for the stuff, you'll need more and more of it to be satisfied -and eventually, you'll never be satisfied. You can say goodbye to your job, your family, your friends, and your dignity.
Your tolerance is unlimited, because with each drinking session, you need more to get the same effect. The only limitation is physical -you can literally die of alcohol poisoning. And this doesn't change over time; if you stop for ten years and then start again, you start at the previous tolerance level -you don't go back to needing just one or two.
Please let us know where you are -so I can plan to avoid the roads in that area.
Best of luck for the rest of your short life.
When you just about wake up and realise you almost drowned in your own vomit, that's your limit.
if your still conscious,carry on
You've crawled out of a bar, literally, and don't know if you've had enough?
Here's some advice... you've already crossed the line of "too much". And PLEASE tell me you didn't try to drive home like that.
lol sounds like fun.
what do you mean you crawl out of the bar into your car, i hope you dont drive after all that drinking :-(
sounds like alot though and doing it every weekend isnt good, i suggest make sure you eat before you go out never drink on empty stomach, maybey drink less sometimes so your merry insteas of drunk, stop when you feel sick, drink lots of water inbetween drinks, and a pint of water before bed.
and maybey calm down a bit, but on the other hand your enjoying yourself and thats good, make the most of it
In long term you can have some really bad consequences for your health...liver fibrosis and etc. and of course you will look older and worn out...
For women, its recommended that they don't drink more than 1 standard drink an hour - which is 1 shot of spirits, 1 wine glass, 1 pot of beer etc - not 1 of each, but just 1 of them - cause thats all the body can cope with regarding removal of alcohol from the system.
You should always drink water along with any alcohol your drinking to help your body cope, and its best to not mix your drinks cause that will hinder more than help things.
A good hangover cure is to drink a sports drink - like Gatorade before bed, cause it helps to balance out your system from the effects of the alcohol while you sleep. Either that or a couple of asprin.
If he/she's still ugly, keep drinking !!!
It can also increase chances of heart disease and cancers. And makes you more unfit and unhealthy. But what can I say, I am a slave to Canadian Club almost every night! You should choose which drink you like best and not just get sloshed on everything and anything that is free or tastes different. It's mixing drinks that makes you drunker!
When you are having fun, then it's enough.
It will take some time to learn what is your alcohol limit - how much you can have without getting a hangover. For me that limit is about 2 ciders, or 1/2 bottle of wine for all evening. Anything more means I won't feel good the day after.
When you know your limit, then just distribute it for all the evening.. and drink non-alcholic drinks between.
Whenever you get a hangover, you've had too much the day before.
john g is right!
drinking 1 or 2 drinks on weekends is fine.getting plastered and crawling is not! if you can not have fun unless you drink...better hit an AA meeting fast!!!!!
it does not matter as an excuse:we drank on an an empty stomach,the wind hit us,we mixed tequila with champagne...these are excuses.
i know people as young as 13 with alcohol problems!!!
My theory on the matter is when you can't get up to go get another drink, That's when it's time to hang out for about an hour. By then you should be OK to start again.
you know you have had enough when it comes back out of both holes
when you piss yourself
if you wake up next to your sister and you and her are naked you drank too much
It really depends on the weight of the person, and if their male or female.
I wouldn't drink everything that's offered to ya guys. I know it's not as easy as it seams;but you guy's should really try. It sounds like you guys are having a blast; but it sounds like it can lead to alcoholism so be very careful. A person with a drinking problem really doesn't realize it until their knee into it.
I would stop when you start to feel more happy than usual and when your vision starts to get a bit distorted. Good Luck!
I believe you had enough alcohol for one by the mere fact that you were crawling back to your car.
Other long term effects of severe alcoholism or just by drinking too much liquor for one night can lead to liver damage, abrupt and abnormal changes in your metabolic pattern, and this may also lead to death.
