Why does red wine get me more silly than hard drinks?

Well, it is easier to drink, and it may have more sugar, therefore the absorbtion of into your bloodstream is actually easier.  or, bc it is yummy, who knows??

water, and most liquids including wine, are often called "incompressible fluids".  this means that you can increase the pressure underwater by a large amount, and the volume won't change (much - it does, but only very very slightly).  compare this to air or gas, which you can easily compress into a smaller volume by increasing the pressure.\n\nnow, what causes cans to crush and bottles to break is a pressure DIFFERENCE.  this means that there is a greater pressure (and hence, greater force) inside the bottle (explosion) or outside the bottle (implosion).  \n\nwhen a bottle of wine is underwater, the pressure from the seawater pushes inwards on the glass bottle, which in turn pushes inwards on the wine.  since the wine is mostly incompressible too, that means it will push back on the bottle, and the pressure will equalize.  it's basically the equivalent of taking an open bottle underwater, and then putting the cap on.  what you have then is just like your wine bottle.\n\n(also, wine bottles are pretty thick, and glass is stronger than you think, especially in that shape and when subject to compressive forces that are evenly distributed.  this explains why they don't burst around that little bit of air in the bottle.)

Yes, keep it in moderation or don't drink at all if your doctor says not to. Some wines actually cause attacks.

You might be sensitive to some ingredient.\nI've seen people get hives, turn red and splotchy around the eyes, break into a sweat and get weak, etc after drinking even small amounts. These same people will have no adverse effects with a different drink on a different night.

You probably have mild alcohol poisoning. Your body is just trying to get rid of the crap.\n\nSome people puke....you poop

Depends, hard liquor is high in sugar and it also depends on what you mix it with. If you mix it with water then it has less calories than beer. If you mix it with pop or juice then you will probably consume more calories.

I live by this too when I go out.\n\nI heard this from someone when I was drunk...so I don't really know how true it is but.......\n\nYour liver processes liquor more quickly than beer because beer has to break down. So, when you drink liquor first, your body is actually starting to process this, and beer first just kind of sits and mixes with all the other crap.

Blue Nun Reisling is yummy & fruity, or a pinot grigio is drier but also complements turkey well.  It is just a matter of what tastes good to you.  Ask your guests what they like, and try a few to see what you like.

I prefer red wine. I like Cabernet Sovignon: Mondavi. There's also J Seven Oaks and Yellow Tail also.

Sounds like you should find something else to drink...seriously.  Any reaction could get worse.

I find that my charm usually goes away the more I drink.  So my charm is in my liver, and my liver punishes me when I drink by withholding my charm.  This happens a lot.\n\nStupid charm.

Sweetie, I think you're not just stressed ... I think you're also depressed.  It's possible you're drinking to cover up, or drown, some emotions you don't want to deal with.  Please see either a professional (such as a counselor) or someone you have a lot of trust in (such as a pastor or priest) and have a really good heart-to-heart talk with that person.  If you are indeed trying to drown out your emotions / problems, they'll only become worse.  Eventually, they'll still find a way to surface ... only by then you'll have added the additional problem of having compromised your health and safety.  Just the fact that you got drunk enough to fall down a flight of stairs should tell you that your drinking is getting out of hand.\n\nAs for your back, well, you already have a history of back problems, so I'm sure the tumble didn't exactly help your back.  Just because it isn't all that sore yet doesn't mean that it won't be ... it wouldn't be unusual for the pain to set in in a few days.  Besides, you may have had enough alcohol in you to mask the real pain.  Given that you heard a crack, it might not be a bad idea for you to have a quick check-up with your doctor, just to be on the safe side.\n\nAs to your drinking chums ... well, if they're **really** you're friends, they'll understand if you tell them that you feel the need to back off on the heavy drinking and give your party-hardy self a chance to rest up and re-coup.  If they can't understand that ... well, then I hate to tell you this, but they're not really your "friends" and you don't really need them in your life just now.  Real friends - good friends - will always want what is best for you.\n\nPlease take it from this old party-hardy girl and get yourself to someone who will listen and can help you figure out why you're taking the risks you're taking these days.  \n\nAbove all, please be careful.  These just aren't the days when a young lady can get sloshed and be safe ... there are only so many times when you'll be able to beat the odds.\n\nI wish you the very best, dear.  Good luck.

There are SOO many different kinds of reds. I'll list the simplest kinds for you, lightest to most full-bodied....\n\nPinot Noir\nShiraz\nMediterranean Reds (typically table reds)\nRed Zinfandel\nMerlot\nCabernet\n\nKeep in mind that there are far far far more than I have listed, but this will give you a general idea. As far as reducing your cholesterol, although it is true red wine contains an antioxidant that prevents the buildup of fatty deposits in the arteries, there are risks connected with excessive alcohol intake. Higher intakes of vegetables, whole grains, fish and olive oil may achieve the same heart healthy benefit without the risk. Besides, alcohol actually increases the risk of other potential killers including cancer.\n\nDryness of a wine (tannines) deals only with taste. The longer the skins of the grape are left in the fermenter or the aging barrel, the drier the wine. Just find what tastes good to you.
