Does the alcohol tolerance drop after not drinking for a while?

[MementoMori777]

When I drank more I would need like 2 shots to feel something and 3 to 4 to get a buzz or drunkish, I drank a few ounces of beer and I can feel something, it's been a while since I drank anything alcoholic so is it possible for a drinking tolerance to drop?

I drink once a month on average and my tolerance has increased ever since I hit the legal drinking age. I used to get a buzz with 4 cups of alcoholic soda and now it takes 1.5 tequilas for me to get a buzz.

Yea so I guess it does go up and down

[jennifer_bloom]

The alcoholic soda was 5% alcohol and the tequila was higher than 5%.

Yep meanwhile I'm getting buzzed off a few sips of beer 😂

Yes. I used to drink half of 750 of rum. Now one beer will get me drunk. Lol
