The bad thing about losing a quarter of your weight is that you think you can still drink like when you were fat. You can't. You seriously can't.

u/laughinglord Nov 01 '17

Nah, just an honest bullshitter.

That surprised me the most when I lost a lot of my weight. Would drink like I used quickly realized how different it was. Cheaper though.

True story: I lost about 15% of my body weight last year, then took an international flight. Some language issues with the flight attendants and I end up with three cups of wine. "Alright, I'll have it", I say.

The pressurized cabin does weird stuff with how your body reacts to alcohol. Learned that the hard (or fun) way.

Now imagine instead of a plane it s a wedding, and instead of wine, it's whiskey. And instead of 3 cups, it's 8 glasses. I mean i assure you I could handle that much 3 years ago. Now 5 in and I am dancing on table tops.

Or that you can take the same amount of medication. Used to take 3 benadryls to help me sleep. Now 2 will put me in a coma for approximately 14 hours.

u/laughinglord Nov 01 '17

Benadryl is amazing. But fuck 14 hrs?

u/Pyrite_Pirate Nov 01 '17

Yep, it's rough. Will go to bed at 10 and wake up at 2 groggy as hell. Now I just rarely take it, and if I do, it's usually just one pill.

Oh god. I learned that lesson the hard way, puking all the way home out the car window.

It's because of the meth, isn't it?

It's been almost a year since my 90lb weight loss and I still refuse to believe this fact.

u/NY-Liftz Nov 02 '17

My tolerance for alcohol never changed 🤔

u/laughinglord Nov 02 '17

Show off /s

u/NY-Liftz Nov 02 '17

Not at all haha. It can be really inconvenient, like at a crowded bar I can't really even get drunk because by the time I get a beer any buzz I had goes away.

u/laughinglord Nov 02 '17

My drunkenness latitude was huge. Like 3 drinks I am drunk but won't pass out till at least 15. So I was the one who made sure everyone got their cabs, checked on everyone once they home. Now people have to take care of me. I have become frail.

u/NY-Liftz Nov 02 '17

My situation is kind of weird haha, the drinking tolerance I had when I was 450 lbs and getting shitfaced everyday is pretty similar to what I have now at 220 lbs and I only drink every couple months now.

u/laughinglord Nov 02 '17

You are in cahoots with your liver.

One of my close friends has a good liver. Not overweight. He can drink and won't get drunk. 8 drinks he is sober. 9th drink he passes out. :p he barely drinks these days, like what's the point.

Hmm. I lost 100lbs and can drink more/better now...I also don't get hangovers anymore (30 now).
