I've had a heavy drinking evening twice on LC (once on this try, once on a previous try) and my experiences have been rather different! Firstly, both times have been with a carby dinner at the beginning, then continuing to drink wine late into the night. What I've found is I simply don't get drunk!

I get very mildly merry, but no more, and eventually just stop drinking when my stomach tells me it's full thankyouverymuch. Once I stop I sober up almost completely very quickly, most odd!

I've also noticed I don't crave that supper-time beer any more, either, which has to be a good thing

Oh yeah, and no hangover either (but I always ensure I drink at least a pint of water before sleeping and another on waking).

No doubt next time we have a get together this will be proved wrong...
