Why do i get drunker at bars than at home?

this is probably a stupid question i know,bc its all mental im assuming...but i rarely drink at home,but if i do...i can sometimes have a 12 pack and feel nothing...



however,3 beers of the exact same kind/size at a bar makes me fee hammered. what gives? again, im sure its some mentality but still makes no sense to me. 3 beers wasted vs 12 beers completely normalWhy do i get drunker at bars than at home?
i've been wondering this myself for a long time now and i think its a combination of all the answers above
maybe if you eat while you are drinking at home, that'll really keep you sober. also, it may depend on the rate you drink them...when you are at home, maybe you drink them slower? I know when I'm around home, I don't really get too drunk, but at bars, I pound drinks and don't even realize until i'm smashedWhy do i get drunker at bars than at home?
because if you get too drunk at home someone could take advantage of you, not only that when you sitting down you sometimes dont feel like falling over, i would rather be out than in my home drinking because it gets boring being in the same place all the time, i just like the change in atmosphere.
Always happens to me!! Haha, I figured out it's because I slam faster in a bar versus at home, drinking out of a pint glass in bar definitely goes down way quicker then out of a bottle or can at home anyday!!Why do i get drunker at bars than at home?
I would say the reason is that your heart rate is up and you are taking in more oxygen so you are absorbing the alcohol at a more "efficient" rate. That is just a guess though...
