How many alcoholic drinks do you limit yourself to when you just start dating someone?

I’m not tiny and I am a bit overweight. I don’t want to drink too much. Does it look wrong to have three alcoholic drinks on a second date? Women: do you usually get slightly tipsy from three drinks? I drink super fast & love alcohol, but mainly on dates, to loosen up, but not to get drunk, just for a buzz. Thx.

    None. Get to know the other person first. You never know when one may take advantage.

    Haha, I don’t really drink, as I am only 17. However, if I did, I would likely sip from one drink. Something to keep in mind is that the more alcohol you drink, the more your breath stinks. If you’re looking for more after the date, even a kiss, limit the alcohol you ingest.

    um drink where its appropriate don’t go to a nice restaurant and pack down cosmos or martinis, just maybe a glass of wine or something to take the edge off dont seem like a alcoholic and get trashy. at a bar or club a few beers and a few shots but over some time

    If you have to drink to be comfortable around him, maybe you shouldn’t go.

    I’m not an expert in the dating department, however…

    Three drinks is three times the recommended daily alcohol allowance for women. You are putting yourself at a significant health risk drinking that much in a single setting.

    Moderation is 2 drinks per day for men, 1 per day for women. Keep that in mind next time you’re out drinking (but don’t worry about drinking in general…drinking within these limits has been shown to have health benefits, these are not limited to just red wine).

    It depends.

    If i am driving – no alcohol at all.

    But otherwise, i limit myself to a maximum of 2, and only if the date also has a similar drink.

    btw – a woman who only drinks on dates gives off a wrong signal.
    Seems that she needs a confidence booster all the time – not really someone that would inspire trust for me.
