Why are “girly” drinks insanely strong lmao

I swear you’ll drink like 7 beers and be a little bit buzzed but 2 “girly” drinks can put you on your ass depending on how much you ate beforehand.

I remember my first time having 3 long islands and two beers thinking “eh it’s just a little bit of liquor”. I didn’t eat before and got absolutely hammered haha
