Reply to comment by Cpowel2 in Tifu by ruining my relationship and a special night by Freerz

Doubt it, Op had 5 drinks on 4 hours. Champagne, mixed drinks and a shot.

Most non-alcoholics would be pretty drunk off that. The only people who wouldn’t would be people who drink regularly / daily / multiple times a week and have developed a tolerance

lol imagine being this confident while clueless. Dude could weigh 140 lbs in this case and still be legal to drive much less blacked out.

For real, these people seem to be ignoring how alcohol metabolism works and also that OP literally states he knows his limits and was nowhere close to them. Sounds like this wasn't the first night he'd ever tried alcohol, folks.

I’ve got the feeling that Minute-Ad believes everything he learned from the grade school anti-booze campaign.

That’s funny because I weigh 140 pounds exactly lol.

From experience using my friends breathalyzer, my BAC when I was drinking would reach .08 after about 2-3 drinks in about a 2 or three hour period.

And I’m fairly certain about that because I avoided a DUI with a .07 after 2 drinks in 2 hours. I was drinking almost daily and felt fine.

Uh, that's really wrong. I drink once every couple weeks, sometimes once a month and I can put away 4 glasses of scotch before I feel it.

Minute-Ad-2148 t1_ixag4k5 wrote

Well your binge drinking would be responsible for your tolerance then.

Binge drinking is a sign of alcoholism. Not all alcoholics drink daily. Binging and going on runs are also signs of alcoholism.

Seek help.

Didn't say I did drink that much every time I drink. Just that I'm able to. I very rarely have more than a glass when I drink. I only ever drink like that when the occasion calls for it (ren faire).

How many fl ounces of alcohol are you putting in your drinks? You must be putting barely any in there if it takes you 4 drinks before you start getting warm and fuzzy

You're gonna be confident enough to ask for fluid ounces, but not alcohol percentages? Come on.

Minute-Ad-2148 t1_ixamd1a wrote

Why would I need to ask about percentages when they already told me what they drink? Scotch is typically around 60% alc give or take 10 points.

I guess deductive reasoning is not a strength of yours.

Scotch is not typically 120proof lmao. You're talking mighty confidently for a guy who has no clue what he's saying. Try 80 proof (40%) give or take a few points.

Isn't he just adorable? Acting like he knows how everyone's body works. I'm 200 pounds and have a high metabolism.

Oh yeah adorable is just the word I was thinking. That's a great point as well, we haven't brought any of the other diet aspects or genetical differences into the conversation. He's just jumping to conclusions and telling people how to live their life

Nice, so within my margin of error’s margin of error. I knew I was right about that.

10 points is not 40 points. Your margin of error is definitely off

If you’re pouring 90mls of scotch in your drinks and it takes you four drinks to start feeling warm and fuzzy, you are most deffffinitely an alcoholic

that’s a little harsh. The occasional binge - especially socially with others - hardly makes you an alcoholic.

Alcoholism comes in many forms. Not every alcoholic is on the brink of dialysis and unemployed drinking daily. Prolonged periods of abstinence do not preclude someone from alcoholism.

The primary symptom of an alcoholic is an inability to control their drinking, e.g. binge drinking. A typical non alcoholic drinker usually will nurse their drink over a longer period of time, perhaps not even finishing it before it gets warm before going to get another. They will have a set limit on how many drinks (typically 1 or 2) they intend to have and will stick to that limit, possibly not even reaching it. On special occasions such as holidays they may drink more excessively but will do so in a responsible manner and likely will not be bingeing one after the other. They similarly do not drink with the motivation of “feeling it”.

How about you seek help for that nose of yours that you've got buried so deep in other people's business. Might want to look for help dismounting from your high horse while you're at it.

I mean this is TIFU, there’s a lot of alcoholics in here. I’m not exactly concerned about kids like you who are triggered when they read my comments.

I get buzzed off the neck of a Mike’s hard lemonade and I wouldn’t be blackout after that much.

Minute-Ad-2148 t1_ixav0fw wrote

Well mikes hard lemonade is less potent than liquor and hardly comparable.

Let’s take his mixed drinks for example. If the mixed drinks were over poured with 60ml instead of 44ml he would have had just over 4 drinks in 3 glasses.

Now let’s talk about the champagne. He didn’t say if it was poured in a flute or a wine glass, if it was in a wine glass then a glass of wine is supposed to be poured 1/3 full. Suppose the bartender poured it 2/3 full. That would essentially make it two glasses of wine. So 5 drinks can easily become 7+ drinks by over pouring

angelerulastiel t1_ixawxts wrote

Whoosh. The fact that it’s lower ABV is exactly my point. I have an extremely low alcohol tolerance and I would still not be blackout drunk after champagne and shots. Miserable yes. But not blackout.
