Anyone here more of a social drinker, or only drink rarely?
My wife likes to have a drink on a Friday night, but I can literally go weeks on end without having a drink at home, and then will drink socially or for big events but that means my tolerance for alcohol has never been that great.
And I don't mean that I can't drink a lot. More the problem is that when I do drink a lot, eventually I hit a wall and start feeling a bit weird.
Not sick, just a bit weak and fatigued (different to being tired) which then means I can't drink anymore and end up slowly sobering up whilst friends/family seem to be able to power on through.
It doesn't seem to matter what I do (eat, drink water etc) I can only drink for about 6 hours before this starts happening. That might seem like a long time to some people, but on stag do's/festivals etc it can be a bit limiting.
On the plus side this usually means I don't have much of a hangover next day, but for example I was at a festival a few weeks back and we ended up leaving an hour before it finished because I couldn't carry on.
Anyone else have this or am I just a light-weight?
