Question: I get drunk really fast but i also get sober really fast?

i can start drinking at about 12 and it wont take long before i am really drunk, but when the bottle of rum is gone at about 2 or 2:30 i'll be completely sober in like an hour. is this normal for most people? cause i have friends who will get as drunk as me, go to bed and still wake up a little drunk the next morning.
i'm a pretty skinny girl, 5'11 140 pounds. would just like and explanation as to why and how my body works this way

Answers:

I am the exact same way. Basically, we have high metabolisms, and we process food and drugs quickly. It's part of why we're skinny--high metabolisms burn lots of fuel--and why it's easy to get drunk but hard to stay that way.

You might have noticed that painkillers don't take as long to kick in for you as they do for other people, and if you've ever been prescribed narcotics the 'fuzzy' feeling was probably gone quickly. Caffeine will probably have one of two effects on you--either you don't notice a difference at all, or it can make you really hyper for a while, and then you 'crash and burn' and feel like you need to sleep for a week.
