i know that girl that Cami lives with, does this all the time... i wonder how she deals with it
I have had my moments, where for some unknown reason, I can drink shots and beer for hours on end, and be and feel perfectly fine, and then randomly, it hits me like a brick wall. Although that usually only happens when I drink mass amounts in a very short time period.
As for the girl I live with, No one understands how that happens. What I do know, is he downs about twice as much as myself, within the same amount of time.
I am also aware, that it does have something to do with ones blood sugar levels. If it is something that happens often, especially if said person isn't drinking obscene amounts, they should have their blood sugar levels tested, that could very well be a factor.
It may also have to do with what specifically they are drinking. For example, I cannot drink Wild Turkey, I get MEAN as fuck. I can drink Tequila, I can sometimes drink Vodka, and I can drink beers like no ones business. but whiskeys are tricky business for me. Some of them I can handle just fine, some of them I can't. These all have different ingredients, and can have different effects on different people.
Point being, if, and when you think or say, "so and so cannot handle their alcohol", there may be an underlying physical, and/or mental reason as to why.
Another factor, is if they are consuming a mixture of alcohols, or/and if they are also consuming any water/hydrating liquids as they drink.
As for how do I deal with it. I make like Nike, and just do it.
'Cause I have to. It is very baffling, and at times frustrating and annoying, but it's not for me to understand, nor is it for me to judge, my job is to care for any said person, and make sure they are ok.
I am sure you already know all these things.
FWIW, I feel you Ray, I really do.
