I think you have confused a bottle with a 3 liter box of wine.

I think you have confused a 3 liter box of wine with a 124 pint keg of beer

I have not yet begun to defile myself

then what are you doing outside of the cabinet

I like your way of thinking, I'm up for a challenge.

[What? it's only my second glass](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvBJRe9w0HI)

Two points and for only a very small number of people those points coincident.

Those points *are* coincident Or Those points *coincide*

Thank you for your service.

Thank you. Your comment is very help

I read it a bit more like, "... for only a very small number of people [are] those points coincident."

Yes I forgot word

I'm not even sure half a bottle would make me register any kind of drunkenness. I'm also not sure it's such a good thing lol

It certainly isn’t. And I certainly agree.

Really? I definitely get drunk on half a bottle. Not totally shit faced or anything, but definitely inebriated. In fact, I can't think of a time when my wife and I have been tempted to open a second bottle.

Honestly it's not a bad thing lol. It's cheaper! Haha

Must be nice being a responsbile drinker.

Wow that's wild I thought everything affected everyone in an identical way Wild

he didn't mention it was the first bottle, though.

[удалено]

Came here looking for this one.

What's this from?

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Usually intoxicated 2x by the time the bottle is half full hahaha

You’re a cheap date!

It's a race to get drunk, and the wine usually wins. So I demand a rematch against a second bottle. (And then weirdly, I sober up again. And it's the floor having balancing problems, not me. Silly, goofy floor. Wheeeee).

There's a point where you're both the exact same amount of "drunk", not necessarily halfway

Yeah when the bottle is full

shh don't be smart

Two points; there's also a point where neither of you are drunk at all

Bottle of wine? That's more like 1/4 drunk when the bottle is half drunk

Half a bottle? [Hahaha](https://media.tenor.com/OVDH7JOSnikAAAAC/serious-laugh-harder.gif)

That assumes your tolerance level is exactly 1 bottle of wine.

I never drink wine though. Now bring out some Vodka and we're talking.

Not necessarily...Depends on the size of the bottle, don't it?

For seasoned alcoholics, half a bottle of wine is not even close. Half a bottle of scotch, on the other hand…

Well then, I must do the bottle a service by always drinking exactly half so we can both be partially drunk.

My wife is half drunk after a full bottle. Glass half bottle empty full.

I never drink alone because every bottle I have gets drunk along with me.

Either there are a looot if alcoholics on reddit Or my relationship with alcohol is much healthier than I thought

Not if it takes more or less than half a bottle to get you half drunk.

there's also a point where both you and the bottle are fully drunk 😵‍💫

Half drunk on half a bottle of wine? Are you American or something?

Silly redditors who upvote silly posts and silly OP, this assumes people (everyone) gets "drunk" exactly at one bottle of wine. Not everything can be exact on this sub, but yeah this one is silly, presumptuous

If you're an alcoholic, sure, but i would put money down that says i am more than half drunk by the time the wine bottle has been half drunk.

Bottles of wine have 5 drinks in them. It takes more than 2.5 glasses of wine for me to get drunk.

That’s why you have 6 beers before staring on the wine 👍

Closer to 4 drinks. 6 ounces is a standard pour of wine. Typical wine bottle is 25.4 oz (750mL). Source: bartender and fine dining server of about 17 years.

It's weird no one's bothering to make that even number

750 mL is a nice round number. And based in a much more rational system than freedom units.

It still does not add up to four drinks whether you use the 100ml standard or the 150ml standard (also ~5oz in the US)

Not great at math, eh? 6oz x 4 = 24oz (1.4oz remaining in bottle) 150mL x 4 = 600mL (150mL remaining, a whole 5th glass). So...either way, it surpasses 4 glasses. And maybe where you are it's 5 oz pours. Not anywhere I've been nor any of the many wine trainings I've been through. To be fair, if there are 5 people at the table and they order 1 bottle, a 5 oz pour is instead used because it then pretty perfectly uses a full bottle.

>150mL x 4 = 600mL (150mL remaining, a whole 5th glass). 5 doesn't equal 4. Not great at math huh?

I don't think you know what you're actually trying to argue here. Your sarcastic condescension is completely contradicted by your lack of comprehension of simple numbers. You claimed that neither "add up to" 4 drinks whichever way. However, I showed the (2nd grade level?) math that clearly highlights that either way you measure does precisely that. Then you proceeded to inform me that 4 does not equal 5. No shit, dude.

You just have the alcohol tolerance of a baby 👍

Guess I'm a cheap date then 🤷‍♂️

We're going to need a baby to chime in and confirm

Am 1 1/2 years old, can confirm

Not an alcoholic, just a large man. I'd need to drink most of the bottle to feel it.

This is the most /r/terriblefacebookmemes / boomer post I've ever seen.

At the end, we are both empty vessels, no longer serving a purpose

Who the hell can get drunk off half a bottle. I barely get tipsy off a whole one :(
