The effects of Alcohol

[PurpleCrackwhore]

Wine makes me horny and Beer makes me sleepy...does anyone else get this effect or other effect from alcohol?... aside from the usual plastered and hungover feelings

Beer makes me pee and im always horny

[Dead Flowers]

Tequila makes me want to fight.

[voguevixen]

Tequila makes me horny and rum makes me sleepy. Wines (sparkling and regular) just give me a headache without the benifit of a buzz (how rude!) Vodka and Gin make me the traditional drunk and silly. I don't drink beer and I can't think of anything else I've tried. Oh, Long Island Ice Teas make me insane, like a whole 'nother person entirely.

[TVeblen]

A few beers taste great and I'm happy, but then I get headachy and sleepy and have the nastiest headache in the morning.

I love wine, but red wine does hit harder and feel worse the next day. It's been so long since I've had hard liquor I can't remember. Maybe I should go back: good scotch just gave a glow and sound sleep. Now if I could just solve the expense factor...

[AuraSeer]

Champagne gives me a hideous blinding headache. Even a sip quickly produces the sensation of steel spikes being driven through my skull.

------------------
Laugh hard; it's a long way to the bank.

[Ringo]

Three things seem to affect how any flavor of booze interacts with me:
1) sugary other stuff that's in it (liquers)
2) other stuff that remains in it (cogeners IIRC)
3) carbonation

Although I didn't realize it as I typed it out, the above listing works as a ranking of how badly some booze will wrestle with me the next day.

Another consideration is method of imbibement. Tequila is often taken in shots. I ain't lookin' forward to meeting DF any time soon.

[Satan]

All alcohol makes me sleepy.

Yer pal,
Satan

[gypsy]

I have to go with Satan here, all I have ever noticed, is that I get tired and sleepy

[Imthecowgodmoo]

I find that beer makes me throw up anything I've had to eat before I started drinking that day, and hard liquor makes me want to throw up whatever I've had to eat in the past week.

shots of anything tend to send me straight to the throne room rather quickly

[Louie]

Any alcohol I drink gets me high. Go figure.

Alcohol is known to unmask who you are or what you are feeling at the time.

[Harmonious Discord]

I've been told by my brother, he could only tell I was really drunk one night. We went out for New Years and I had to close one eye for about 30 minutes, because I had double vision. I refused all drinks after that for the night. After about fifteen mixed drinks, what the hell do you expect. I didn't buy any that night. I think some people wanted to see if they could put me under the table.

[Homer]

I'll have to agree on the beer=sleep idea. Just this weekend I went to a frat halloween party and drank jungle juice (awesome stuff) all night long, and just got happy and silly. Then I had one beer, and I was dead tired. That's how it goes, I guess.

We are the children of the Eighties. We are not the first "lost generation" nor today's lost generation; in fact, we think we know just where we stand - or are discovering it as we speak.

I'm allergic to alcohol. Any amount of alcohol in any form makes me want lots more alcohol. I may not get drunk right away. But no matter how much or how little I drink, I will wake up craving alcohol.

[OldBroad]

Watch out kids, it changes as you get older. Used to have a pretty good capacity for just about any type of beverage - and they all made me brilliant and witty and oh so clever. I learned at a young age how to maintain the buzz without getting pukey. Then I noticed that fermented things just made me sleepy, but I could still handle distilled spirits. Now it ALL puts me to sleep - for a while. The cognac, single malt and Canadian that I really like now gives me a blinding headache about 2:00a.m.

It's a bitch gettin' old!

Some people know a lot more when you tell them something than when you ask them something.

[Enright3]

Hmmm, good topic. One beer makes me sleepy. Anyone who's had tequila can tell you, it's a different kind of drunk than other types of booze. It makes you either want to fuck, fight or gamble. Hey, they're all three a gamble these days, right? My favorite booze is, without question, Gin. aaagghhhhhh (Imitating Homer Simpson) Martinis are o.k., Tanquery & Tonic mmmmmmm. I enjoy beer too, but there's nothing worse that cheap beer. Works better than prunes. Drink a couple of generic brand beers and I could shit through a keyhole at fifty yards!

Gee, I'll bet I just made lots of friends!

Alcohol makes one feel over confident, perhaps this is why so many drive after having some?

[MLAW]

As I age I've also developed an alergy to alcohol. I start my hangover about 60 minutes after my first drink.

About six years ago me, my husband, my brother and his wife, went "out on the town" (a small bar in a hick town five minutes from my house, to be precise) and partied hardy. This was a Friday night. Monday morning I was still too sick and had to call in sick to work. That's when I quit drinking.

Now I'm the sober, designated driver.

[Triskadecamus]

I talk a lot.

If I keep drinking, eventually, I sing.

Very late at night, after everyone else is going home, or quietly sleeping it off, I wander off into the night, singing.

I fall down some. Eventually, I can't get up.

Then I sleep.

I don't drink much, anymore.

[keystream]

Beer just makes me silly...
Rum or vodka and I go on severe laughing jags.
Tequila definitely makes me horny (or hornier, I should say)
Everclear (moonshine) is what really puts me to sleep.

[Harmonious Discord]

Cecil never mentioned the horny factor in his Tequila column.

[Sealemon88]

Beer makes me pee and im always horny
So...when ya comin' down to visit, Sue? LOL!

I haven't really noticed any difference in the way different alcohol affects my behavior.

Rum makes me sick by itself, but that's because of the way it smells.

I don't know what it is about beer, but that stuff is like liquid Ex-lax. I avoid the stuff.

------------------
You say "cheesy" like that's a BAD thing.

[OpalCat]

I'm beginning to thing that nothing will make me horny ever again. Really. Occassionally in the distant past, bourbon would make me horny... anymore all alcohol just makes me sleepy.

Champagne gives me a raging headache. Tequila makes me hopped up and ready to right all wrongs. Dr Tichenor's makes me want to move to West Memphis and get a job at the track.

[Omniscient]

Well, I've never had a hangover, and I drink quite a bit. I'm always horny, shit I'm a man.

Wine makes me amourous (lack of a better word), I get lovey dovey, and start telling you how beautiful you look, and how much I can see deep in your eyes. Assuming your a woman.

Beer encompasses all moods, I drink it all the time, so I can't peg one reaction on it. It pretty much doesn't get me drunk, unless I really start chugging. Usually it makes me loud, and talkative, frequently talking shit, and getting competitive.

Rum, mainly Captain's, gets me hyper, and I'll run around and dance.

Tequila is a good excuse to do body shots, and we all know where that leads.

Vodka makes me kinda sleepy, but it can sneak up on me and really get me ripped.

I don't like whiskey, bourbon or scotch. A good Congac is a nice way to finish a meal and it makes me warm, and thirsty to start partying. Same goes for Gran Marnier.

I almost always mix my alcohols, so these reaction are all relative.

[MadPoet]

Hmm.. I'm sure I'm gonna get bullshit called on me for this, but I tend to have the opposite reaction as normal to alcohol.. when I get drunk I can't get it DOWN. Too bad I'm too shy to ever find a date and put that to use. As far as specific types of alcohol, Tequilla and Rum give me headaches, and Beer makes me hurl if I drink more than one (from someone who can drink a 24oz margarita and stay conscious).

The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

[Shadowfox]

I can't drink wine and champagne because within minutes of drinking the stuff, I get these absolutely blinding, head-exploding kind of headaches. The buzz isn't very good either.

Rum makes me act silly and stupid. The only times I ever sing Karaoke is when I'm drinking rum.

Tequila makes me hornier than hell, unless I'm already in a bad mood, then it just makes me even more mad.

Vodka makes me sad and sentimental. I'm the only person I know who gets this reaction from vodka. Most people I know get wild and crazy from drinking this, but not me. I find sad love songs on the radio and sing along with them, loudly.

I've never drank enough beer to even get drunk because I don't like the stuff, so I don't know how I would react. I do agree, however, that even one cheap can of beer works quicker than any laxative out there on the market.

[Shadowfox]

I forgot to mention that I only drink maybe once or twice a year. I come from a long line of alcoholics, so I've made it my goal in life not to become one. Funny thing, I was the only sober person at the Halloween party I went to last weekend.
