Had a few glasses of wine tonight with DH. I haven't gotten tipsy in four years between health problems, pregnancy, and breastfeeding.
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?

Your lucky it took a few glasses. Half a beer and I'm toasted! I feel so old!

@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.

2-3 glasses of wine has always been alot for me. Gatorade is my new drinking buddy.

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.

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!

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!

I hear you! Alcohol affects me so differently these days. Two glasses of red wine and I am falling asleep standing up.

@Pepper: same! I had mimosas at a play date last week & after one glass I told the host I can't have any more!

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!

Glad I'm not the only one!
I think it was good to get it out of my system since I had to top drinking at 24 and was always a bit sad about that. Now I'm going to stick to my one beer a day! (Or most days)

I've practically given up drinking because after two of anything, the possibility of a bad hangover is no fun.
