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?

    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.
