I had four glasses of wine with dinner tonight...and I can't walk in a straight line! Do I just have a really low tolerance for alcohol, or are my meds intensifying the effects?

It's kind of nice; I'm able to say whatever I think without feeling anxious about it. I've never felt this way before.

It could be intensifying it but you also could be that four glasses of wine is a pretty good amount of wine. But it could also be a mixture of all three.

Are you actually drinking a 'glass' of wine?

Like a 6 oz glass, and less if it's over 10% alcohol?

Seems like everyone around me is getting sick drunk off wine because they fill up a 12-16oz cup and call it a 'glass of wine.' LOL! They drink 2 'glasses' and they're making friends with the toilet.

Otherwise, you could have drank it real fast. And if not, sure, meds will mess with them! I know mine did, when I was taking ADs.

most labels always say that alcohol may intensify the effect so could be combo of both

Wine can run from about 8-20% so saying "4 glasses" doesn't tell the whole story. And was dinner 45 minutes or two and a half hrs? What did you eat? How much do you weigh?

Yes, alcohol interacts with some of your meds. It's on the packaging by law, or ask your pharmacist to make sure labels are added.

Generally, it's a really bad idea to mix alcohol and psych meds.

Oh I'd so love a glass of wine right now! But Secretum, 4 glasses is a lot for me, and you're a tiny thang. You're young and in Italy, have fun! But be safe too please!

And if you have rx for any benzo's -- do not take with alcohol.

Thanks for all the replies. I'm not sure why I even started this thread; one of my more stupid ideas.

I know that I ought to avoid mixing alcohol with my meds. It's just hard to tell how much is too much; it hits me really fast.

5 oz at 12% alcohol.

Here is how I do my drunk math:

5% alchohol at 12 oz (beer) is a drink. 5 x 12 = 60

(Wine) 10% x 6 oz = 60. 10 x 5 = 60.

(Shot) 40% x 1.5 oz = 60
