How come my alcohol tolerance is unbelievably high?

I’ve been drinking for a long time now and I can never get to all my friend’s level of drunkness. I always wondered what was wrong with me. Even my first time drinking I didn’t get drunk and I had 5 drinks in a row my first time and people always say that it takes very few drinks to get someone drunk for their first time. I read online that high tolerance has to do with body weight and that overweight people usually have a high tolerance, but I’m not overweight I’m very thin and am In fact a little underweight. I also heard that men have a higher alcohol tolerance but I’m a woman. I even gave up a month of drinking and drank on an empty stomach after that one month period and I still didn’t get that drunk. Even my boyfriend who’s a huge guy and is 6’1 has a lower tolerance than me. I just feel so alone and am always the most sober one at a party with my friends. I even drink so much more than them and I’m still the most sober and don’t really feel anything. I’ve tried every drink to see what works for me and nothing gets me drunk. I chugged 6 shots of fireball at once on an empty stomach one time and only got tipsy. I only felt it a little bit but then sobered up a half hour later. I am tall though and am 5’11 so maybe that’s why, but my boyfriend who’s much bigger and taller than me has a lower tolerance than I do. Does anyone know what’s going on with me? Or if I have a condition? I always wondered what was wrong with me and I feel like a mutant with an X gene. I want to have fun like everyone else and be as drunk as them and feel that major buzz. With all the information I just provided does anyone know what could be going on with me? Or why my tolerance is off the charts high? I feel like there’s something wrong with me.
