Does drinking wine make anybody else hot?

[Haole Girl]

No, no...not like that! I mean, temperature wise?

[LeftyMom]

1. Any alcohol makes me feel flushed and warm

I'm a total lightweight though.

[Haole Girl]

4. Yes, me too.

Thanks. Nobody ever talks about it, and I've wondered this for a long time.

[Broken_Hero]

15. same here, except I'm not a lightweight...

:) :hi: how did your PP work out last night? Done yet?

[LeftyMom]

18. I finished it up lastnight.

:D

[Broken_Hero]

21. Good for you...:) nt

[flvegan]

2. I drink enough, it makes lots of folks hot.

Looking, I mean, well, you know.

[Haole Girl]

11. Reminds me of this quote:

~ Oscar Wilde on Beer

“Helping ugly people get laid for years.”

[Redstone]

20. "Drink 'em pretty!"

Late-night bar quotation from Robert "Dawg" Williams, estimable bass player in my band in Houston, way, WAY back in the 1970s.

Redstone

[Haole Girl]

27. I like that

;-)

[Redstone]

34. Not to mention the estimable Winston Churchill, when a woman accused him

of being drunk:

(Her): "I believe, sir, that you are drunk."

(W.C.): "Yes, Madam, I am indeed drunk. And you, madam, are ugly. However, I will be sober in the morning, whereas you will still be ugly."

Redstone

[Kutjara]

41. The woman was Nancy Astor, the first female member of the....

...House of Commons. Winston and she had a famously confrontational relationship. On one occasion they had the following exchange:

Astor: If you were my husband, I'd poison your sherry.
Churchill: If you were my wife, I'd drink it.

[AllegroRondo]

50. Another great Churchill quote

(her) If I were your wife, I'd poison your drink.

(him) Madam, if you were my wife, I'd drink it.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

3. No, it doesn't.

I only clicked on this because I thought it was another sex thread.

On edit: The vegans beat me here, so it is a sex thread. Wøøt!

[Haole Girl]

5. I wondered how many people would think that

:toast:

[LeftyMom]

8. We're everywhere.

Be afraid. :D

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

10. Unlike other DUers, I have no fear of vegans or your vegan food.

In fact, I think it's yummy and so was that vegan chick I dated awhile back.

[LeftyMom]

16. I was reading along in my sexuality book last week

and there was a chart that discussed different factors associated with tastes of, well, of certain things. Apparently being a vegetarian is a positive. No shit, I thought, and then I zoned out a nice little chunk of lecture. :D

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

19. Yeah, it definitely is.

Allegedly, drinking pineapple juice helps as well.

[Redstone]

24. Yes, indeed. It is NOT just your imagination.

Redstone

[Moochy]

6. Might be the sulfites?

Some Red wines make my inner ear hurt a bit, like some allergic reaction.. :shrug:

[Haole Girl]

7. I'm drinking white wine

I know it's full of sugar, but I felt like something sweet.

[LadyoftheRabbits]

9. Oh yes

I had wine diluted heavily with grape juice once and was very warm. I'm a total lightweight.

:hi:

[Haole Girl]

14. Wine diluted with grape juice?

How did that taste?

[LadyoftheRabbits]

23. Really good!

A lot like... well, grape juice, which was the point. For me, at least. :P I cannot abide the taste of straight alcohol.

[Haole Girl]

26. Wine is not straight alcohol! :)

But, it is an acquired taste.

[LadyoftheRabbits]

29. Well, there you go.

Shows you just how much I know about alcohol in general. :P :D

[Haole Girl]

31. That's good....seriously.

I really become concerned when people "discover" alcohol too much while they are young (if you know what I mean). You have the rest of your life for that!

[LadyoftheRabbits]

33. Very true...

:hug: :hi:

[Ptah]

12. Wine? I'll have to try that some day.

[Haole Girl]

17. I'm afraid to ask, but...what is in that odd looking jug with the

aloe vera plant attacking it?

[Ptah]

25. It's a Tenoch (tm) jug. It's not aloe vera, it's agave.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tequila
Tequila is a distilled alcoholic beverage made primarily in the area
surrounding Tequila, a town in the western Mexican state of Jalisco,
65 km from Guadalajara. It is made from the blue agave tequilana weber
plant (also called Maguey by the local people), part of lily family,
which is native to Mexico. Most common tequilas are
38% to 40% alcohol (76 to 80 proof).

[Haole Girl]

28. Thanks. Does that Tequila have a worm at the bottom? n/t

[Ptah]

32. No, Tequila doesn't have a worm. Ewwwww.

A bottle of Mexican Mezcal bought in Cancun.
A worm can be seen in the bottom of the bottle.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mescal

Mezcal is a Mexican distilled spirit made from the agave plant.
There are many different types of agaves, and each produces a
slightly different mezcal. Agave is part of the Agavaceae family,
also called maguey. While Tequila is a mezcal made only from
the blue agave plant in the region around Tequila, Jalisco,
spirits labeled "Mezcal" are often made using other agave plants.

[ZombieNixon]

13. When people watch me drink, it makes them hot...

...for me! :P :hide:

*pounds chest*

[Haole Girl]

22. I think you have opened yourself up here a bit!

Ha-ha....don't worry, I'll spare you!

Will you please post a pic of that, though?

[LadyoftheRabbits]

30. Agreed.

I need to see that. :eyes: :P

[ZombieNixon]

35. You have pics.

:eyes:

[LadyoftheRabbits]

36. Not of you...

pounding your chest. :eyes: :rofl:

:loveya:

[ZombieNixon]

37. That's mostly an "after downing straight Captain Morgan" activity.

:P :loveya:

[LadyoftheRabbits]

38. ...

:puke:

But yeah, you're right. :* :loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

39. My dear KC2!

I find that my temperature rises when I drink wine........

I also warm up in other ways.........:evilgrin:

:woohoo: :woohoo:

[Haole Girl]

46. Thanks. And, I know what you mean about the other ways...

:hi:

[njdemocrat106]

40. After a couple sips of wine, I always feel the urge to urinate

I know alcohol is a diuretic, but other types of booze don't give me the urge to go as quickly as wine does.

[Guava Jelly]

42. wine makes everyone else hot to me

Plus it turns my lips blue
:)

[LostinVA]

43. No, but it can make ugly people look hot to me

[BarenakedLady]

44. Yes it does

It also is making me feel like this :hangover: this morning...perhaps too much of a good thing...

[LynneSin]

45. Depends on the wine

Certain Red wines - mainly California wines that tend to be mass produced (not necessarily cheap - but just produced widely enough they you can find them in any east coast liquor store) will make my head turn extremely bright red flush and I feel a bit hot. So as a whole I just avoid all California wines (although I've had a few boutique wines that I had no problems).

I don't have any problems with whites.

Usually if I'm buying Red wine, it's either from Australia, South Africa, Argentina or Chile.

I knew a woman who ran a local winery, she said it's the nitrates in the soil that probably are causing the reaction and since the soil varies around the world, that's probably why some regions affect me more than others

[Haole Girl]

47. Thanks for all the responses....at least I know I'm not alone.

Now, however, I'm afraid to drink my favorite California wines. But, the soil thing does make sense to me.

[leftofthedial]

48. I'm always hot

and yes, yes...I do mean like that.

[datasuspect]

49. drinking alcohol makes me insane

moreso than usual.
