How many bottles of wine before you're drunk?
I went to dinner with my sister & my father and we emtied three. When I got home I opened up another, and I'm half way through it.

And, yes I'm drunk.

3. here we go!
I'm sick of hanging out with people where the question is "How many sips of beer before you're drunk?"

A couple of bottles will have me feeling pretty good.

I've almost finished off a growler of ale this evening.

It sucks to drink alone.

It's an unsolvable mystery.

9. Depends on the wine.
If it takes a corkscrew to open it, one bottle. If it is a screw open bottle with a name like apple dumpling or red razzleberry, two or three bottles. If it has a picture of a train on the bottle, three sips, and this includes perhaps spending the night in the toilet.

10. A lot of very good wines now have screw tops.
I'm a snob - but not that much of a snob.

13. Yes. Screwcaps are the wave of the future.
Alot of fine New Zealand whites use them. It takes a few times to get used to the idea, but I don't drink wine for the cork, I drink it for the wine.

To answer the original question...It takes about 2 bottles of wine to give me a buzz. Maybe more depending on the wine.

24. Yes, there are good wines with screw tops but I was referring
to those soda pop brands fancied by college students.

28. "Serve very cold"
I bought a bottle of that for a gag gift exchange at our annual rider's christmas party a few years ago. The label is a work of art!

22. On an empty tummy? 1 or a little more.
After a nice meal? 3 but it's been a long time since I had that much wine in one night. Beer's my sauce of choice.

23. About 1.5 bottles
I only weigh like 110 lbs, which is heavy for me. I can drink more though and still be fine in the morning. God bless this Irish blood.

26. Two glasses
and I get silly. Three glasses and I get, well, yeah. That.

But it probably wouldn't take that much, now. I haven't had a glass in years. It's the compliancy that gets you in trouble every time.
