Now I'm going to stick to my one beer a day! (Or most days) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-drinking-get-so-hard#post-1220849 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 10:30:31 +0000 Lindsay05 1220849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha during my short stint between LOs, two glasses of wine had me sick and headache-y the next day. I use to be able to drink a case of beer by myself (university!) and now two glasses of wine and Im done! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-drinking-get-so-hard#post-1220793 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 09:31:27 +0000 emg86 1220793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha, the first time I had a glass of wine pp I was totally tipsy :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-drinking-get-so-hard#post-1220792 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 09:30:22 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1220792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pepper: same! I had mimosas at a play date last week &amp; after one glass I told the host I can't have any more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-drinking-get-so-hard#post-1220683 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 08:05:30 +0000 septca 1220683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hear you! Alcohol affects me so differently these days. Two glasses of red wine and I am falling asleep standing up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-drinking-get-so-hard#post-1220658 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 07:42:18 +0000 Happygal 1220658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tell me about it. Red wine has been making me feel so crummy lately. One glass and I feel like I drank half a bottle! So it's either a very small amount of red, white, or one little beer. My fav spot in town sells draft beer by 10 oz--it looks like a baby beer and is the perfect amount! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-drinking-get-so-hard#post-1220625 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 06:49:52 +0000 BananaPancakes 1220625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Being pregnant and nursing meant it was well over a year for me not to have a drink. Half a beer and I was buzzed. In the 19 months since my son was born it now takes 2 beers to get a big buzz, so it's built back up some. I don't even bother with liquor- I'd probably be instantly drunk. Going 4 years without a drink means you're going to have to take it really slow . I'm actually really impressed you drank 2 glasses!. @jedeve. Yay for cheap drunks! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-drinking-get-so-hard#post-1220618 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 06:41:42 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1220618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember how just a glass of wine would hit me hard after I had DD, I can only imagine how I would feel after 3 glasses after not drinking for 4 years! Yay for being able to enjoy a drink again, but I'm sorry you feel like crap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-drinking-get-so-hard#post-1220598 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 04:34:23 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1220598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2-3 glasses of wine has always been alot for me. Gatorade is my new drinking buddy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-drinking-get-so-hard#post-1220597 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 04:08:55 +0000 Pepper 1220597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jedeve: Your tolerance probably really declined! I haven't had more than a beer in one sitting since having LO, and I know my tolerance is wayyyy down, because I'm buzzed after one drink! It used to take me a lot more than one... haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-drinking-get-so-hard#post-1220589 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 03:08:55 +0000 BabyMats 1220589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Your lucky it took a few glasses. Half a beer and I'm toasted! I feel so old! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-drinking-get-so-hard#post-1220551 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 00:25:42 +0000 jedeve 1220551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Had a few glasses of wine tonight with DH. I haven't gotten tipsy in four years between health problems, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. </p> <p>Now I feel like crap!! What happened in the last four years?? Did I get too old to drink, or did I just forget how it felt? </p>
