When I've had three drinks I get sleepy... same with others in my family - none of us became alcoholics - or had any fun drinking...
I get that way after 2 drinks. My mother would criticize people who would only "nurse" one or two drinks when they went out for the evening. She would drink until she was really drunk. She didn't think you could have "fun" otherwise.
As for weight --- I am overweight. Losing weight is almost impossible, my body responds by gaining weight whenever I try to lose weight. Yeh, I know, not possible -- except that my body is just weird in the way it responds to stuff.
I do know that I am very sensitive to "heat" in food. I will find some food spicy, while other people look at me like I am nuts; because, they don't think it is spicy at all. So, perhaps my sensitivity to the way food tastes, plays into my weight. I don't know.
That’s me too. I like to have a beer or glass of wine with some foods, or an occasional shot of scotch to SIP, but that’s about it.
