i drink all the time but im finding im getting more drunk off less alcohol now, whats happening?

Answer 1

Sounds like your body isn't processing the alcohol as efficiently as it did before. It's often call "reverse tolerance", usually caused by liver dysfunction. More alcohol is still left in the body when you put more in.

Best to take responsibility for your actions and slow down or quit. Perhaps see a doctor for Antabuse, Naltraxone, or Campral.

I would not suggest AA, they're a religious group with a 5% success rate, and many of the 95% who are not successful through the program end up worse than they started.

Answer 2

Have you experienced any blackouts (where you can't remember things that happened or what you did right up to the time you went to bed)? If you have, you may have crossed the line into alcoholism. None of us start out to intentionally become alcoholics, but once we cross the line there's no turning back.

Even if you haven't experienced the blackouts, you may be getting close to that point...getting smashed easier is certainly another warning sign.

Strongly suggest you slow down on the booze. Not talking about 1 or 2 drinks every night instead of 3 or 5 or 10...talking about having an OCCASIONAL drink, and always with friends, family, or loved ones - never alone. If you find you can't do this, you've definitely stepped over the line. Talk to your doctor (there's nothing to be ashamed of when you ask for help) and start going to AA meetings.

I wish you well.

Answer 3

Man, you must have put away some booze in your younger days. Sounds like your liver is acting up. Go to non-alcoholic beer and then have a check up.

Answer 4

did you move. if you go from sea level to altitude then less will work more and the opposite is true if you go from altitude to sea level you can drink all night and barely feel it. it could also be that you changed from malted to spirits. i can drink a couple beers and be buzzy but it takes five shots to get the same effect so beer effects me a little more

Answer 5

I read somewhere that this is a sign of liver problems, cut out the drinking while you can and see a doctor.

Answer 6

This is not meant to be a slam on you. But, what you experience can be a sign of alchoholism. See a Doctor, and slow down your drinking.
