I'm drunk!

[Donatelo]

I have brewed several batched of wine and always wondered if it was truly an alcoholic beverage. Mind you, I don't usually drink more than a single glass of wine at evening. I never had any effects , got a buzz or felt different from the wine that I have brewed. Just for curiosities sake, I drank three glasses of my chardonnay and am now drunk! It's been a long, long time since I have been here. Thankfully , I am at home and I am not going to go anywhere.
That is potent stuff, Be careful out there1

Lol. I can understand that. Everyone tells me mine is stronger than store bought.

On a heavy drinking week I might drink 2 bottles. One glass get me, 2 look out.

 

[Donatelo]

It sneaked up on me! ! Now I have to behave. (wife) Nite nite all.

I do notice that I do not wake up with headaches with homemade wine vs store bought.

You probably have a sensitivity to sulphites.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say. It's likely we all do. When I first started making wine at home. I figured it was specific people and while that still might be true. (sensitively levels) I've found that the affects are different the next morning.

Specifically, I'm talking about the fact that I hold a monthly wine tasting event. (3rd Sunday of every month @ 4pm) We have a few wine makers in the group and the nights that we have a majority of homemade wine. (lets just say, it's more social than wine snob...) The feeling in the morning is more energetic than blase / not feeling well. That said, nothing protects you from over-consumption and the dehydration that follows....

Drinking a glass of water before bed helps.

Hope you're feeling fine this morning @Donatelo

 

[Donatelo]

Thanks Boatboy , I'm fine! Woke up ready to go and now I have to get out and do the first mowing on that south pasture.

I heard on the radio on St Patrick's day that a serving of asparagus is benifical to reducing the hangover? Read some on google and a few different sites were backing it up as well .

Or an 8oz of Pedialyte!

 

[wildhair]

I try to keep it just one glass a night....

 

[Donatelo]

Just one?

 

[wildhair]

LOL After that one - I don't dare go downstairs to fetch another bottle! LOL

Then you're not doing it right. You need to bring up 2 bottles to start. It's just not that hard. LOL

 

[wildhair]

Ahahahahaha Damn! I knew I was doing something wrong, but after that first glass, I couldn't figure what it was. LOL
