I Can't Drink Now Like I Used to a Few Years Ago (26M), is that Normal?
During college and a few years after (maybe til 23/24) I drank almost weekly and don't get drunk that easily. In terms of beers, maybe I get tipsy at about 6 and give up at 10.
But now, I drink 2 and I get tipsy, and maybe tap out at 4/5.
Is that normal?
You're viewing a single thread.
normal... but you can practice drinking and get better at it. a couple years ago after I'd stopped drinking I tried to pick it up again and noticed that I couldnt handle my liquor at all. but through practice and perseverance I was eventually able to enjoy various rums and whiskeys without passing out after 5 or 6 ounces. eventually got tired of it again so now I just enjoy a beer every few weeks.
Tolerance isn't a positive effect. I'm so confused at all the drinkers who act as though tolerance is a good effect there's literally no other type of drug user who'd consider it to be a tolerance.
I'll speak from experience: I used to like having a tolerance because it allowed me to "hang" with people that were heavier drinkers than I was. All this ended up doing for me was pave the way for alcoholism to set in.
That's why it's bad.
Agreed. I would not recommend this line of thinking
