then the problem comes, i get drunk very easily, is it normal? any cure for that?

That is exactly the problem. If you drink on an empty stomach, the alcohol will be absorbed into your blood with a faster rate. Never drink on an empty stomach.

Are we back in kindergarten now?

If you drink enough Absinthe, it will give you enough energy to burn off all the calories in one night.....

Is THAT what they call it nowadays? Wink

Actually, in french, we call it "sport de chambre" (bedroom sport) or "activités d'intérieur" (household activities).

Pick wathever you prefer.

brasil > never ever skip dinner if you drink. You get sick if alcool goes into an empty stomach, no way to avoid it. You could pour your drink directly into your veins, that would be barely faster. Take a light dinner (vermicelli with some lemon juice for instance), that fills your stomach. You will stand alcohol. Once you're home after the party, drink something like 1 liter of light tea (green or wathever highly diuretic). You should evacuate one or two buckets next morning and usually your body won't keep too much alcohol calories. And no big headache either.

Obviously, no drinking at all is better but well, where is the fun in it ?

At least, that's what did my French roommate : 1m73, 50kg, she drank enough to beat a couple of Irishmen at beer drinking.

Problem? That's not a problem, that's a cheap date.
I would have a much larger bank account if I was an easy drunk.

^ Who you kidding?

If we didn't blow it on booze, we would just squander it on something useless like rent, or food, or retirement savings...or some other such nonsense. Very Happy

Careful, you can lose a lot of salts that way.

Some pine nuts, a little spoonful of pesto, that's tasty enough, not fat, and fills quite well.

Not in soup, though.

For your guys who always drink a lot, probably you need to have something that could protect your liver and reduce intoxication before or after your drinking, which will be very helpful temporarily and also in the long run.
