Eating right means eating bread before you drink and continuously as you drink.

Drinking right means drinking DRY wine. Sweet wine will make you throw up. Dry wine is much better for not getting sick.

yeah I think he figured that part out. he ate the whole time he was drinking though. and then he lost all of it. he said only dry wine next year.

defygravity, I like your stories about your husband when he's shikker, esp. how he wants you to "test" him with math problems... Rolling Laughter

and breslov, that's a funny pic you posted of your man, I notice from the picture that - like shimon bar yochai - he can zap people with light from his eyes!!! WOW!! is this a superpower he acquires only when in a state of drunkeness, or does he have it all the time? Very Happy

I just saw this thread now. I love when my husband is drunk on purim. I trust him bec. he knows his exact limit and stays within that so he is cute and funny but doesn't throw up or go too crazy. his pnimiyus really comes out and it is ruchniyus and torah.
we had a lot of modern (im writing this hesitatingly bec. I dont want to get killed for this) ppl at our seuda and they were really impressed and said they felt our seuda felt like real purim to them.
dh was saying lots of divrei torah, singing niggunim and dancing, praising me a lot for working so hard (I liked that Very Happy

) and making silly jokes. when someone came to collect tzedakkah he told everyone to give him money bec. its the best investment youll ever make, better than wall street. these ppl all work in finance so appreciated that
my bil on the other hand always ends up over the toilet bowl every purim and I'm not sure I would be so into my husabnd drinking if I thought that would be the case.

I don't doubt that there's a certain kind of person who may come from a culture where being a vulgar or obnoxious drunk is acceptable. I don't think this is true of all non-Jews, and I think it's unfair to say so. I have a very close friend whose family is very civilized Protestant and very fond of their cocktails. The first time I ate at their house I didn't know how to handle the nonstop parade of drinks. Before dinner, during dinner, after dinner, before bed, when sitting and reflecting, when chatting. Not one of them was sloppy or out-of-control, not one fight broke out. They were better behaved, in fact, than some alcohol-free Jewish families I know.

I don't want to get into class issues here, but I can say from personal experience that I know plenty of non-Jews who can hold their liquor without saying or doing anything inappropriate, and certain without vomiting.

Maybe so, but my point was that there was nary a bar brawl or drunken pass. My other non-Jewish friends are the same. The earlier post about the musician and bar fights and the one about Gateshead pubs are both about certain kinds of people who enjoy drunken rowdiness. I'm not debating whether somebody is an alcoholic or not. I'm just disputing the notion that all non-Jews behave in a disgusting manner when intoxicated, but we're better than that.

breslov, yes, it was a joke about the glare...
