Can you still handle your drink?

Not as good as i used to be but not bad. Maybe 8 - 10 now whereas it could be anything up to 20 in the past.

Had some heavy nights at uni - really silly volumes of drink.

Sadly I've not lost any capacity for alcohol, despite often going for long periods with out any.

Cambridge students drink an awful lot.
 
Unless Im out drinking generally makes me want to sleep now. Rarely touch alcohol as its more of a social thing for me rather than habit and my social life is a bit lacking with 2 small kids and lots of work.
 
Not really sure what 'handle your drink' means. Everyone has an individual limit which they should know and stick to.

Do I drink and get drunk? Yes

Does it take me a lot to get drunk? Not really

Do I occationally drink too much and give myself a hangover or become ill? Yes

Again, I'm not sure whether this counts as 'handling' drink as its all relative.
 
I didnt think I could hack it like I used to but been to Dublin for my 27th at the weekend and managed to get through about 50 pints, which wasnt good @ €6.50 a pint!
 
i seem to be getting better as i get older ... not sure if the liver agrees all my mates who are 21+ are gone after about 5-6 pints now its hideous ...

Surely a "shot" is just the way you drink something? I was told the proper way to drink Absynthe is in a glass, with water and sugar.

There's a whole 'ritual' if you want to do it properly, in short order: absinthe in glass, sugar cube in slotted spoon which sits above glass, drip ice cold water onto the sugar cube to dissolve into the absinthe (somewhere about 3:1 water to alcohol is about right) and the mixture should go cloudy then drink.

Lots of people would just shot it now for simplicity, if I'm honest I find the mystique of absinthe more appealing than the reality, you're generally paying over the odds for a drink that isn't even that nice.

I don't know if I can handle my drink, I'm not sure if I ever could but I'll generally show few outward signs of how much I've had.
 
I only drink on the weekends usualy, but can handle it pretty well. In july i went on holiday to Malia, got hammered every night for 2 weeks, didnt even get a hangover :). Also if you go malia make sure to try the drink called 'Head****er' wont take too long to realise why they called it that :p
 
I am OK as long as I have had some food and a lazy day. If I drink after work I tend to fall asleep.

Not noticed any change from when being younger.
 
I can handle my drink no problem. At the age of 35 I drink a hell of a lot less than I did when I was 25.

I have too many good things to do at weekend other than laying in bed with a hangover or spoiling someone elses weekend because of my hangover. The odd beer or two in the week if I fancy it and maybe a few glasses of wine at weekends is more than enough for me
 
I'm at that stage where I think I'm still getting slightly better... though I've never had a stomach for alcohol. Head-wise I can cope, but I often puke!

I think my best achievement to date was Thursday a couple of weeks back. I'd had late nights all week, spent 12 hours at work Thursday then went out Thursday night in the West End. Plenty to drink, puked twice I think. Stayed out until the first train, got home, got changed and packed my suitcase, went to work for 10 hours, then left work and got straight on a plane to Lisbon, then went out for the night when I got there! :p
 
The most I have ever drunk in a night, was about 4 pints and a few shots :o, not much of a drinker, I don't see the point in getting plastered on a night out.
 
I'm not a very good drinker to be honest, i have friends that can handle a lot more. Tonight ive had 5/6 pints and a vodka and coke, and all it makes me want to do is eat foods! Seriously if my local take-aways would deliver i would be skint!

Agreed 100%. Admittedly as a younger person I used to go a bit mad, and on holiday sometimes I will "let myself go"... but day-to-day and during the week I seldom drink.

That's exaclty the point where I'm at now. Don't drink for ages and then go on a bender. Means I'm a cheap date though which is good.
 
Has anyone ever drank at lunch break then went back to college?

About 4 mates from my class are gonna smoke weed at lunch break tomorrow, then go back to lesson, I was thinking I'd drink instead.
