Is this normal?

[Agent]

Is it normal that when I drink a one liter bottle of 12% wine very fast, I feel totally sober in one and half an hour? I´m not and alcoholic and I dont drink often. My alcohol tolerance is low. I´m a male and I weight 76kg.

Are you sure you're actually sober and don't just think you're sober? I can remember one evening about a year ago when I drank a very large amount of JD and felt completely sober the whole time and then woke up to find that I'd fractured my foot and had no memory of it.

It's not something to worry about although it certainly is unusual. Take my advice and keep the alcohol in moderation regardless of how much you think you can handle.

Wine is a worse drunk then beer, it can leave truly brutal headaches and pains. Trust me if you want to get drunk go beer or dun go at all I'd rather you do that.

[Agent]

Im pretty sure I was sober after one and half an hour, I remember the whole night.

And Native Rose, Im not sure is the drink I drank can be listed as wine, it was a homemade alcoholic beverage called Kilju. The only ingredients in it are water, sugar and yeast.

Well that is a lot of alcohol for a person of your age and weight to be drinking at at once. You will feel the effects of the alcohol faster because you drank it all at once. You will get just as drunk if you would have drank it slower but it would have taken longer for you to feel the effects.

The reasons that you didn't feel the effects of the alcohol is one you may not have been moving around. Some times the effects of alcohol are less on you if you don't do anything. The less you move the less and slower the alcohol is going to move in you blood.

Just because you are drunk does not mean you can't remember everything that happens around you. Some people can remember everything when they are drunk so that is not an indicator of you being sober or not.

Here is an alcohol and effects chart that I copy and pasted from a website.

I hope this helps and gives all of you some information about alcohol.

I did move around pretty much. And yeah, I did feel the effects of alcohol but they ended in one and half an hour.

A liter is a lot.

Being 'drunk' is a factor of how fast you drink, what the alc content is, and how full your stomach is. These affect absorption. So, on this one occasision, maybe you didnt drink as 'fast' as you thought, OR you had a full stomach (or you ate things that take longer to absorb, like fats).

I've also heard that when you're really pumped up on adrenaline, if you;re excited, it interferes with 'getting drunk' b/c the adrenaline interferes with absorption thru the stomach, as well as partially blocking the 'feeling' of being drunk. Remember, adrenaline's purpose is to arouse your brain, to focus it in an attempt to protect yourself, so it makes sense that it would also shut down digestion and interfere with anything thta blurs clear thought.

[mrmcdonaldduck]

if youre gonna drink that much you should take it in moderation
your liver cant really cope with that much alcohol so it might get damaged if you do that some more times.

and sometimes for strange reasons no matter how much you drink you stay sober, so maybe it was one of those

[Agent]

I´m pretty sure I drank it as fast as I thought. I downed the whole liter in 20 minutes(dont tell me its stupid to drink so fast). I was relaxed when I started drinking, not even scared of getting caught or anything, so it can´t be the adrenaline. I only ate a burger 2 hours before drinking.

I know that it´s very stupid to drink that much in so short time and I know alcohol is bad for you. And for mrcrazyan95, I did get pretty drunk but it ended soon.

Maybe I just naturally have a good "boozehead".

[tripolar]

Are you sure its good wine and not some crap that's called wine. It may not have any or every little alcohol in it at all if you didn't feel anything.

[Agent]

For the last time, I did get drunk, but it ended soon. And I´m sure it did have alcohol, because I tested it with an alcohol meter(used to test the alcohol % in homemade wines).
