I feel heavy if I'm sitting around not doing much while drinking. Other times I feel loss of balance (can't walk a straight line unless I concentrate on it). I become more talkative and social. Sometimes my chest starts to hurt if I drink when I don't really feel like it (the pain can come straight after the first drink, or later on in the evening after several when I'm not enjoying myself anymore). Once the pain comes, that's me for the night (soft drink or water thereafter), which is kinda good as it stops me from going overboard/drinking to vomiting point.

It takes two drinks for me to feel anything, but I also feel heavy and achey. I have no idea why, either. As I keep on drinking, my face starts to buzz and the room seems a bit static, and my body stops hurting.

I also tend to laugh a lot, say funny things, I'm a lot more bold, and I start dancing after a few drinks.

I get a nice 'high'. I feel relaxed, less worried. At night, I have a few to get relaxed enough to sleep.
