Guys, Would it put you off if you went on a first date with a gorgeous girl and she was able to drink a lot more than you?

[exitseven]

This question was inspired by @BeenThereBefore. I dated a girl who must have been a high functioning alcoholic. She could drink a lot more than I could. I really had to be careful around her because I could pass out.

[CalmUntilAbused]

Was the lucky girl Slavic, by any chance?

To answer Your question, what I would care most about is the changes in behaviour after drinking. If she's still responsible and responsive, it's okay. Basically, if there is no risk of her cheating on me after drinking, it's okay. Though I would attempt to get her to cut down on drinking for her own health.

she was a redhead of Irish decent. I suppose she was a stereotype.

[CalmUntilAbused]

@exitseven I guess the Irish do have some fame for being able to drink more than an average person... 😄

[OlderAndWiser]

High tolerance means she is probably an alcoholic. Run, Forrest, run!

[exitseven]

she was really a wild ride. She moved out of where she was living, I think they kicked her out. they told me she moved in with "friends". She disappeared off the face of the earth. I expected her to turn up on the 6 oclock news sooner of later.

[OlderAndWiser]

I spent a night in jail (quite embarrassing) because of a false police report made by a drunk ex-gf. Trouble with a capital T!

@OlderAndWiser I hope you beat the rap/

[OlderAndWiser]

All charges were dropped and I got an apology from both the judge and the prosecutor.

[exitseven]

nice, i hope the judge gave you a Get Out Of Jail Free card for your trouble.

I don’t want someone whose a alcoholic. A glass of wine a beer even a shot or two of hard liquor is okay. But not someone who gets so drunk.

Especially if you can tell they are drunk a lot

[AviatorTom]

Not at all. I would just watch her... and smile. No need to try to keep up with her. She's the main entertainment. 😉

[RandomGirl42]

After readin' through the replies ain't none of you all ever goin' on any first dates with me. I'm drinkin' you all under the table.

Actual simulation of Random on a first date.

[Staximus]

I'm pretty much retired from getting drunk but probably could still drink you under the table haha

[Staximus]

Unless you drink a whole bottle of booze everyday

[Twodogs0525]

The drunker she gets, the better I look. Honestly though, on a first date, it would totally turn me off. I've mainly dated girls that either didn't drink or rarely drink. I always said, there's only enough room for one alcoholic in a relationship.

[Lliam]

Yes. I drink alcohol, but not much or often. I would be put off by a girl who drank like a fish.

[DryGermanGuy]

I experienced that, more or less (group dinner, not date). Wrote about it here, twice.

[HighValue]

I don't drink alcohol and I am not interested in the low quality women that do.

[WonderingManII]

I wouldn't date a girl that drinks that much.

[Xawyx-2]

I wouldn't mind, because I don't drink alcohol anyway.

[msc545]

Since I don't drag any girl that track, even one drink would be drinking a lot more than I can or want to.

[Wiredone]

I think most people can drink more than me. I only have a (1) beer maybe twice a year

[Anonymous]

No. I really don't drink. Wouldn't be hard to outdoing me.

[slatyb]

It would. I don't want to date an alcoholic.

[Jmmmfi4]

I don't drink
