Wine is the devil. I can drink 5 or 6 glasses of whisky, neat, and be no worse for the wear. But a glass of the red stuff and I'm already hot in the face.

It's still booze, ain't it? Of course you can still get drunk.
There's health benefits to drinking red wine. But it is alcohol. It's best to not overdo it.

Oh yeah. There is some strong wine (relatively) out there. Shit gives me a MASSIVE hangover though.
I just stick to Vodka these days.

I had margaritas in mexico which was much worse. Didn’t get drunk, went straight into hangover, and then in the morning I was super constipated. Like it just evaporated the fluids in my body

Literally the drunkest I've ever been is on wine. Be careful lol. It hits much later than beer. If you feel drunk now then that means in a few hours you're fucked

Grape juice you had prior isn’t wine. Welcome to the big leagues, kid.

the drunkest I've been was after downing almost a full glass of 80% Stroh Rum after already being drunk...
but Wine makes me throw up easily even tho I'm not nearly as drunk as I can usually tolerate. which is why I hate Wine now xD
The average bottle of wine, 750ml at 13% alcohol, is about the equivalent of 4-6 12oz beers at 5-6% and is like 4 stiff shots IIRC. But if you got a fortified wine it could have a much higher alcohol level and I find at least that the speed of ingestion matters a lot more at higher alc levels (takes me a lot longer to drink a six pack of lager than to do a few shots or drink a few glasses of wine). Food before obviously slows absorption.
So never fear, OP, if you aren't hiding under your bedaboit to be dragged away then maybe you just got a stronger type of wine.

Wine make me sleepy.
When i started having insomnia many years ago i thought it was smart getting drunk on red wine to sleep better...boy i was wrong.
Op sound like a clueless friend of my mom when she saw for the first time a chicken gordon bleu at 60 years old and her world was rocked after that day (true story)

Worked at biggest, poshest retail place here when I was younger.
Did all the wanky wine-tasting conventions in top hotels, the type where you 'spit-don't swallow' into a bucket.
A very posh area, hard work as moving crates from deliveries from Calais. From HUGE trucks.
Anyone from the UK would know it, 'Oddbins'.
They were cunts, so i'd accidently bin the top champange and collect them at night.
I could honestly make a thread about it alone with the celebrities (I won't). All very big ones, I'd be sued to fuck.
But I felt like an underpaid superstar as they all bought their grog there. Even had to do exams, got qualified. A mugs game. Don't think a level 'x' wine - taster would look good on a CV.
Yet I will say, some are wonderful to drink, as I did my homework (had to) and some are heaven in small portions. Not shit you buy just to get drunk.
As I said I won't name names but was a very affluent area, yet pay was shit.
I sure as fuck collected what I accidentally dumped after the shop closed. Ain't doxxing myself, just a decent bottle of wine ... it's special. Worth the money? Dunno I got them for free.

Some of the wine in Sicily was on par with our expensive shit. Your supermarket stuff, I felt conned. Quit the job, was only in Tuscany I found some of them again. Was extremely annoyed.

Wine can be upwards of 20 ABV.
Drinking a bottle of strong wine is like drinking half a bottle of standard vodka.

It’s much easier to get drunk on wine than on beer, it’s approx 12-14% alcohol content, 3 times more than beer.
Of course it’s beautiful, it’s France.

Many “Whelps”! Handle It!
I always heard wine dehydrates a person more severely, ounce per ounce, than liquor or beer. Need to drink a glass of water for each glass of wine.
Old wives' tale? I don't know, but I do know that like you wine hangovers for me are straight up debilitating, while a whiskey hangover is typically a bad headache that's gone within a few hours of waking up.

It can change.
Why some people go from party animals to just needing a bump to get out of bed.
It's sad but true. Same as any drug.
A regular whiskey drinker ...
Good luck with that.
Don't believe me, ask a nurse. Plenty online.
