Yeah usually alcohol tolerance has to do with genetics. If people in your family have a high tolerance, it is MUCH more likely that you will. But tolerance also has to do with weight and height in a way as well. You're only 140lbs so your weight could lower tolerance.

Of course there are ways to heighten your tolerance such as eating a lot before you drink, consume 8oz of water after each alcoholic beverage, and just plainly drinking a lot over time builds tolerance, etc.

Google "alcohol tolerance and genetics"



alcohol tolerance is a combination of:
weight
health
genetics
and practice

you likely have a leaning towards higher tolerance if you have a close relative with higher tolerances... but since we can't tell you all the other factors, we can't tell you for sure.
