Question

How do people know when they're drunk if they're drunk?

Answer 1

they usually don't know til the day after when there's other people tell u that u were drunk plus the hangover let's u know is true.  

Answer 2

Sometimes people can't tell. It takes someone else to say "Hey, you've had WAY too much. Time to quit."

For me, I feel very off balance. I start talking REALLY LOUD and make very little (if any) sense. It just feels wild and I love it. The only real problem is when I suddenly have to pee. I just end up hoping and praying that I'll have a wall near the toilet, so I don't fall onto the floor when I'm trying to stand back up. lol

Answer 3

If you are a slow drinker, you can feel your reflexes change. You know.  

Answer 4

they dont LOL!!!!!

thats why when you tell them there drunk they always say " no im not"lol

Answer 5

because you either start feeling GOOD/fall down/cry/ or start blabbing about the person you like hhhhhaaaaaaaaa

Answer 6

Theres multiple stages of drunk:

Inebriated - Your voice is a bit louder, you feel a bit warmer, and you think everything is funny. Above all else you feel relaxed.

Buzzing - Having a buzz is right about the point most people suddenly realize they are "drunk." Standing up suddenly will put you off balance and you might find it hard to walk a straight line. You probably feel warm and a bit flushed. Your face will start to turn red (some people worse than others). You may at this point begin to slur your speech a bit and you feel small tingle all over.

Drunk - Difficulty standing and walking straight. Slurred speech, You feel flushed, Everythings tingling and some things like your face and legs may feel numb. This is where most people either stop drinking and try to coast back down to buzzing, or start picking fights and becomming aggressive.

Wasted - Can't speak, can't recite alphabet, feel nausea, can't stand up straight, person gets quiet, person passes out/blacks out, afterwards you might have trouble remembering what happened and your sure to wake up with cotton mouth, achey, and a headache.

Answer 7

It takes practice, every day for years and years, soon enough you'll be a pro.

Answer 8

Some people can tell when they are starting to get a bit drunk some can't.

People can get very quiet, very loud, cranky, all types of emotions.

Then there can be the physical side of things, falling over etc.

I know I can tell by my nose going numb.

Answer 9

i can usually tell when i fall down

Answer 10

You know when you are getting drunk. But after that you don't stop to think about it. Then you pass out. Alcohol is a depressent so it gradually depresses all your senses.

Answer 14

you can tell. Sometimes you say something clear in your head but as it leaves your mouth its slured. Then you know you're wasted.

Answer 15

They know, why would they be drinking in the first place.

Answer 16

Well, if your like me you'll argue with anyone who tells you you're wasted, untill you're either on the floor, in the toilets puking, or.. see that's the thing, where are you?
