I really doubt this is a true story. Drinking at 8 in the morning? Getting drunk off one glass of wine in 3 minutes?

I think you missed the most questionable part

It frankly sounds to me like the sort of story an alcoholic might tell. The worst alcoholics won't give a shit about what time of day it is.

He probably meant he woke up at 12 a.m.

I’m not an alcoholic, and in fact prefer not to drink at all whenever possible with the main exception being the new year’s holiday cuz my in-laws are Slavic vodka-loving raisins that get truly offended if you don’t have at least a couple toasts and switching to water/juice won’t do for them. I can get drunk with a single glass of wine, which is a nuisance to my wife and a great copout for me to avoid it altogether when we go out. Sorry, I didn’t know it was that uncommon but I do know never mind the ever present second hand snore, not drinking alcohol it’s a fucking nightmare while trying to socialize or even just dine while in most of Europe.
Edit: added text.

I understand that, but 3 minutes is a very short time.

it takes something like an hour to process one drink.
Edit: changed shot to drink

Interesting. It takes me not 3 minutes but maybe 15,20 min to feel a shot. Basically until the next round comes despite consuming allegedly alcohol-suppressing Slavic food alongside it. Not my culture so what do I know but damn, I do have a very low threshold.

Not interesting. Made up.
Coctyle t1_j5oaxni wrote
That’s ridiculous. You don’t process alcohol at all and you can feel the effects of it immediately.
akennelley t1_j5onlss wrote
I have to believe he means processing the drink takes an hour to clear. Alcohol obviously takes immediate effect, and somewhere around an hour per glass/bottle/shot to start to wear off.

Metabolizing alcohol is what makes you sober. It is the process of removing the alcohol from the body. That is the process that takes one hour per drink (for an average person).
The comment you originally replied to was in regards to the time it takes to get drunk. The person was doubting that OP got drunk beyond the capacity for rational thought in three minutes.
I share the doubts about the veracity of the post, but it absolutely does not take one hour for alcohol to get into a person’s bloodstream and make the person intoxicated. That’s would be a misunderstanding of what it means to metabolize alcohol.

I was using the term process in the sense of the alcohol being broken down then released by the body. But I see where the confusion came from.

As stated in another response, metabolizing alcohol is the process of breaking it down and removing it from the body. Yes, the body processes alcohol to remove it, but alcohol does not need to be processed by the digestive system to get into the bloodstream and make a person feel drunk.

After reading another comment, I see where the misunderstanding came from. My response didn't really have much to do with the comment I replied to.
dpg3456 t1_j5plnde wrote
That's fair and agree. I didn't say that though. I only said process. Which to me, would mean the processing of said chemical to it's final form and being released by the body.
