Barely got buzzed last night after drinking nothing but liquor?

[Anonymous]

I had 3 mixed drinks, all with lots of alcohol. Rum, vodka, etc. I had a shot of Fireball and Crown Royal. I barely got a buzz, but I did eat dinner in the mix. Did the food impact it that much? The people I was sitting with that were drinking beer were more tipsy than me. The last time I got drunk, it took 7 shots of Jaeger, vodka, and rum, straight. Just wondering if I might have a high tolerance?

Sounds like you have a high tolerance lol. Maybe cut the drinking down? I went for a month and a half without liqour once and I felt the difference, as I was hoping for.

I rarely drink though. 😂

Fireball ruins my buzz. I avoid that drink, because I don't want to end up sober.

[Asker]

Really? Why does it ruin your buzz?

[TripleAce]

do you drink often or very little over the course of your life?

[Asker]

Very little. That's why I'm so perplexed. Liquor is usually only once every few months, if not longer. You'd think I would get very tipsy off what I drank.

[TripleAce]

do you have a normal weight?

[Asker]

I'm definitely on the chunky side. Is that why I can tolerate a lot?

[TripleAce]

Yes it's the most obvious reason. Also if you are drinking slow, you won't get drunk either.

You get drunk when your liver cannot process the booze fast enough so those toxins then travel the blood stream. When you have a certain amount of alcohol in your blood stream you get drunk. If you are larger in size it simple takes more toxins to get you drunk. Also if you drink slow your body will have enough time to metabolize the alcohol and you also won't really get drunk.

So two things. Shorten the time and the amount. But NOT by much. Just enough to feel it then go from there

For example take 5 shot down. See how you feel.

And lastly mixed drinks can be filled mostly with juice and very little alcohol. That could be another reason.

No its just that food absorbs alcohol
