Lol V. Vodka is a sneaky drunk for me. With wine & tequila, the effects are pretty immediate & easy to moderate. With vodka, I feel nothing nothing nothing, so I drink more more more. Then I'm shitfaced & have no idea how it happened. I was barfing drunk for the first time in my life back in August thanks to 2/3 a bottle of Ketel One in like 2 hours
That's what happens when I drink too much vodka. The only time I've ever forgot what happened the night before was on vodka. I was dropped off at home and I remember going to the bathroom to freshen up. I woke up the next morning naked on the couch in front of our large picture window, with a sweatshirt I hadn't seen in ages covering my lady bits, front picture window wide open, make-up and clothes EVERYWHERE. It was insane. I'm pretty sure any driving past my house that night probably saw me playing dress up or something. I have no idea.

The only time I have ever thrown up from drinking too much was the result of red bull and vodka during a weekend in NYC and the same thing happened. I was fine and then all of a sudden it was like, OMG I'm so druink OMG I'm going to be sick.

Tequila is my truth serum. One or two margaritas and I will tell you anything and everything. Hhhmmm, maybe I shouldn't go to the Mexican restaurant for happy hour tomorrow.

No more vodka, ever.
LMAO. These are exactly the reasons why I stick mostly to wine or beer these days. Because this sort of thing happens to me not just with vodka, but with a lot of hard liquor in general. I think I just drink it too fast, but don't realize I'm drinking it to fast until it's too late.
I love certain cocktails but can only do them if I'm having ONE drink that night at dinner or something. If there's anything planned for after, I can't do it, I have to do wine or beer.
I don't like ANY brown liquor. Hate it. Mostly because it makes me a 115 lbs of pure crazy.
I love drinking vodka cranberry. It's simple, easy and has vodka.
Last summer I dated a guy for a few months, b/t the 2 of us, we drank 1-3 bottles of whipped vodka a weekend.
I'm also one to drink to get drunk not to enjoy the taste.
Also...what's MM version tipsy v drunk. For me tipsy is the same as buzzed. Once I'm drunk, then things start to get interested. It's when I'm shattered/shitfaced that things go bad.

Vodka was my one bad vomit episode. I was totally fine for hours, having a happy, buzzed time. I kept drinking the delicious vodka/lemonade shake-ups.
Then I was in the bathroom at a frat party with my BFF, each in different stalls. We were talking, and all of a sudden she asked, "Are you going to throw up?" I thought, no, why would I do that? And then I puked all over myself. Like someone had to come in and help me pull up my pants. I spent the rest of the night and most of the next day with my head in a trash can.
I don't drink dark liquor, but mostly because I've had BAD experiences with most of them and they cause me vicious headaches.
I barely drink beer anymore, sadly, because wheat beers cause me TERRIBLE headaches, I think I'm allergic to hops or something because anything too hopsy causes a combination of puffy/congested/sneezy/red/and itchy throated, and itchy throated kind of makes me scared. But many of the beers that left then are things like Bud Light and Miller Light that taste too watered down to me and I have trouble drinking enough to get drunk. So Heineken/Amstel/Stella it is... but I usually stick to wine instead. White wine typically, because I like my drinks cold and wine with too many tannins can flare up my rosacea. Or vodka and soda because I like the lack of caffeine and the lack of non-alcoholic calories. If bars started offering Diet Sprite as a mixer option, it would be a major game changer for me.
Sigh... getting old sucks. I miss when I could drink whatever and not get a hangover or allergic reactions or whatever.
I can drink almost any red wine but I think white wine is pretentious.
That's funny, I think that white wine is the opposite of pretentious because it tends to be sweeter/less full-bodied.
I agree with this. Most of the wine snobs I know will pretty much only drink red, because white is too light/not full-bodied enough. There's little more pretentious (as far as wine goes) to me as saying that you want to order a big, round Super Tuscan or what-have-you. I at times get teased for drinking pretty much only white wine.
People who describe themselves as "foodies." Or do that thing where they cross examine the waiter about every little detail of how a dish was made. It is so pretentious!

How is white wine possibly pretentious? I am curious.
And I didn't know that bars in the US didn't let you mix with any soda. Here you usually get a very generous pour - like half the glass - of alcohol plus a can, so the mixer can be anything.
I don't judge people who drink, but I just don't get the appeal. At all. It's sooo not my thing that I can't relate. This makes me feel like an odd duck.
I'll add to the drink judging: I think that anyone who thinks that all wines under $8 are bad, is an annoying person.
My favorite wines DO happen to be above $8 (most are in the $15 range), but believe me, I'll drink a $5 bottle of cheap reisling if its there.
I own up to being a wine snob. But I stand by the fact that cheap wine is bad. Try a bottle of $5 wine and then try a bottle of $30 wine - there's a difference. And FWIW, I put Reislings in the same category as White Zin.
