Why do I get drunk so easily?!


Question: Why do I get drunk so easily?
I am 5' and I weigh 115 pounds. Female, obviously. Whenever I drink I can feel myself getting buzzed after sometimes maybe one beer. I used to have a high tolerance for alcohol but lately it seems like I just can't drink like I used to. So, when I have one or two beers, I suddenly get the urge to want to drink a lot more. How do I stop myself? I also start to act belligerent after about 4 beers. It's very embarrassing and I'm tired of making a fool of myself and disappointing my family and boyfriend because they get very upset with me.

Please help me out.
Why is my tolerance so low?
Why do I get so out of hand?
How do I stop this?

I want to be able to enjoy myself like everyone else. I feel like such an outcast.

Answers:

you are a very petite person so you will always have to be careful with alcohol... my advice would be to drink as little as possible and avoid embarassment.



OMG .. that`s been happening to me too .. Maybe if you drink a glass of water between alcoholic drinks you will hydrate yourself and feel less drunk... alcohol makes you lose your inhibitions, and can make you aggressive..

Lucky for me my bf doesn`t get upset with me. He just sees it as a laugh. Mind you I haven`t had fight on anyone whilst drunk for ages ...



your not an outcast

your a loser

you shouldnt be drinking at all since you obviously cant handle only having on beer, you feel the need to continue drinking... you have a problem and need some counselling

grow up.... you dont need to drink to have fun



Do you really want to become an alcoholic?If so you are going the right way.
What's wrong with just having one or two drinks? If you "need" more you have a problem.



You are a petite female + have used up all your tolerance. If your family and boyfriend
care about your well being, they should understand and not make you a drink alcohol.



It's because you're small. To avoid it, don't drink. It IS possible to have fun without drinking.



A sign of alcoholism is loss of tolerance.

drink 2 beers.



Its not about building tolerance. It is about becoming an alcoholic, and if you don't start stopping at one or two it will get much worse. You will do things that if you saw someone else do it would embarrass you. Don't go there ! The best thing you could do for yourself at this time, is quit drinking alcohol period. I know what things could happen because my dad was an alcoholic, and at a very young age I decided I never wanted to be that way. Having to call the sheriff to get him under control, and take him to jail. That was not any fun at all. Watching your mom and dad have a knock down , drag out fight. Believe me you truly don't want to go there. once you have arrived there it will take years to over come it unless you are a very strong person, that is if you ever do over come the problem." here is a good measuring stick" Do you feel like you have to drink the second beer , after you finish the first, or could you really just walk away from it. If you can't easly walk away from it, then the problem of alcoholism is upon you now. If you are there you have to NEVER drink again.



Hey I know what you mean. I am usually tipsey after a 2nd beer, drunk after the 3rd and smashed after the 4th. My ex used to call me a cheap date lol, I hope he was joking though. Anyways, I am not a huge drinker in the first place but I think your tolerence goes up if you get more into the habit. I'm not condoning you being an alchoholic though, its about moderation but we have all been in a situation in which we made an *** out of ourselves.

For example, I got so smashed on my 21st that I just started crying for no reason and got all emotional, I was then taken to a 24 hour cafe ting and ordered a pizza also got my beer from the club and accidently spillt it on my pizza and I started laughing and crying at the same time, after thatI just continued eating my beer soked pizza and hink everybody thought I was a f*cking loon. So we have all been there but like I said its about building a tolerence and your not an outcast you just have to control yourself which I know is challenging. Maybe start by only having two as you are already buzzed and when you arent getting buzzed by two go up and repeat the cycle until your satisfied with the amount you drink.
