Seriously, am i a lightweight? How many does it take you before you get a good buzz?!
i can drink one glass of wine and feel almost drunk!. is this bc of my weight (110, soaking wet) or bc i dont drink that often!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
It's a combination of both!.
Being only 110lbs, tops, you are more easily affected by alcohol!. also, being female makes you more easily affected!. Men have more water weight (as a percent of body mass)!. Women are, perhaps surprisingly, more muscle mass!. The point is that both of these combine to hurt you drink a lot and not feel it!. Your BAC will go up higher than a 110lb man (or pre-teen), and it would go up higher than a 150lb woman!.
Now, you also have almost no tolerance!. It is scientifically proven that the enzyme responsible for breaking down alcohol in your body goes up when you drink often!. Your body is basically ready for you to drink and expects you to drink!. When you don't drink, it is caught off guard and you don't have that enzyme in such high levels!. It's always there, even in a 70 year old who never drank, or in a 4 year old!. As a result you take longer to sober up and you need less alcohol to get drunk!. It basically just gets absorbed by your body and stays there a lot longer than it used to!.
FWIW, being older reduces your ability to process alcohol!. 15-18 year olds can do this better than 21 year olds!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

In all honesty, being a "light weight" isn't a bad thing!.!.!. It shows that you haven't built up an emunity to it!. Just like anything else, the more drugs or alcohal you consume, the more it takes!.!.!. Of course, it also has to do with how much you weigh also, but mostly emunity can always surpass that!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Old age!
Seriously, I don't know why, but as I've grown a bit older (I'm 36), it seems that I'm more easily affected by alcohol!. Of course, it could be that I'm just more responsible and aware of my tipsiness, whereas in my youth I didn't really give a damn!.
Two drinks about does it for me!. Three and I'm on my way to being drunk (if not already there)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I'm on my second glass of wine and I too have a buzz!. I think it is lack of tolerance and lack of food!. I think how much you eat before you drink makes a huge difference, as well as, how often you partake!. Your body no longer has the tolerance!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
i don't know what it is, but something about getting older shuts down a tolerance!. i swear, when i started drinking on good nights i could throw back 15 beers tops and feel wonderful!. now that i've been legal to drink, i can only do 5 tops!. i feel your pain!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
Do you find it desirable to be able to drink a lot!? That is one factor used to determine a person's probability of alcoholism, how high a tolerance they have!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
If I haven't eaten, I can get buzzed on 2 beers!.!.!.I'm 6' 4" 220 lbs!.
Always eat before you drink!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
