i never really knew my alcohol tolerance. i'm a social drinker and when i drink, i only drink up to the point of being tipsy. enough woozy feeling to wake up the follow day with a recollection of the night before without the unnecessary hangover.
but then last wednesday, i was invited to a halloween party, and one of the guys had this crazy idea of doing a "still standing" type of drinking game (thanks a lot, don!). the standard set consists of 10 drinks (including chasers). because of my weak liver, i had to lower it down a notch to 7 drinks (including water and chasers). i gulped and gulped up to the last glass and was victorious. for the first 20 minutes i was in full control. i was very much aware of what was going on. but the moment i stood up to move to another room i felt like i'm experiencing vertigo on acid! it was terrible and funny at the same time. i threw up around three times i think but it didn't seem enough to get rid of that awful feeling in my head. with enough determination, i kept myself from throwing up on the car that took me back to the condo.
the awful feeling went on until afternoon the following day. the whole experience was funny and all, but i swear not to ingest that much alcohol for the rest of my life.
