One over the eight?

I had a very strange experience last night. I went over to Ian and Ruths to do some roleplaying and between the 6 of us (or 4 who were drinking wine I suppose) we polished off 3 bottles of wine - two white and one red. That suggests that even if I got more than my fair share I can't have had more than a bottle. The thing is, while I wouldn't say I get through that regularly, it's not an unusual occurance. Other roleplaying sessions, the pub on Tuesday night, parties... a bottle of wine is well within my range normally. Last night though, I was completely fine and normal and then suddenly it was as if I had somehow been replaced by a lightweight. I started to feel all dizzy and very drunk indeed. Fortunatly, we were pretty close to wrapping up anyway but I ended up having to walk home because I didn't feel up to cycling and then having to sit by the loo for a little while because I was worried I would throw up. After about 10 minutes that receded though and I just felt exhausted so I went upstairs and curled up with Alex to go to sleep. This morning things seem to be back to normal because I don't have a hangover or anything (unlike after Saturday). I'll just have to be cautious at the pub tonight in case I'm coming down with something!

Did you really have that much of a hangover after Saturday. It didn't really seem that that much alcohol was being consumed...

Actually, we got through four bottles of wine, and an extra glass from the wine box.

It might not be the alchohol...

It could be the sulfites...I've known it to make me feel quite poorly after a cheap bottle imbibed.

And a bottle per person (thereabouts) isn't all that unusual.

I think you're right though, to be on the alert for oncoming illness.
