I'm 16 years old, 5"2' and I weigh just over 7 stone... Has getting drunk so quickly got anything to do with my weight? I also cry a lot when I'm drunk and feel depressed for days afterwards aswell as hungover! Please give me some advice? Thanks in advance!

Yes, it has everything to do with your weight and the ability of the alcohol to travel through your bloodstream quicker.

16 is too young to be drinking, Yes you get drunk quickly because of your weight. The more mass you have the more alcohol your body can absorb. By the way alcohol is a depressant that is why you feel depressed afterwards. Hangovers are caused by dehydration, drink lots of water before and after you drink especially after. Best way to avoid all of this is to not drink in the first place then none of this will affect you.

I am laughing quite a bit at reading this. Not sure if that is out of pity or a sick sense of humor.
Yes it has to do with your:
1) weight (although I have no idea what the hell a stone is... although I have heard of it... like a hogshead)
2) gender
3) age
4) other factors such as genetics
For your age you are getting totally destroyed. This of course is going to play with your mental well being. I would recommend that you slow down your drinking a bit until you are a little older. You should be testing your limits (how little can I drink before I feel bad, etc) instead of pushing your limits (how much can I drink before I jump off a building or get alcohol poisoning).

Some of it does have to do with your small size. But mostly you lack the enzyme "alcohol dehydrogenase." This enzyme breaks down alcohol in the blood. The more you drink the more tolerance you have. This enzyme gives you the "tolerance" to alcohol everyone talks about. So if you want to be able to drink more for some reason, then gradually increase the amount you drink. But for now, be happy that it doesn't take much for you to get drunk. After all, isn't that the point?
Also, make sure you aren't taking any medicines that interact with alcohol.

Stay away from alcohol. Alcohol tastes aweful anyway. Anyone that has ever tasted any type of alcohol for the first time never enjoys the taste, it is an acquired taste that is developed over time. The same goes for smoking as well. You honestly seem like a very wise, intelligent person - who will make the best choices in these matters in the future.

I know what your going on about. Im 20yrs old and i weight 8st, so when i only have 3 glass of wine...im smashed. I think yeah, its something to do with your body build/frame. Before you go out, do you have something to eat? Coz if you dont that always have something to do with it. Also do yo drink your drinks really fast? Coz that can do it aswell.
Its just the booze that makes you feel depressed. One night if im drunk, ill be crying my eyes out and another ill be really happy.

Dude, first off, STOP DRINKING!! As with the depression and crying a lot when you're drinking, there is obviously something going on in your personal life (a **** load) that you need to take care of in a sober kind of mind.
So, if you're going to drink, stick to the Roy Rogers.

You guzzle your drinks and alcoholism brings depression and fear into the mix anyway.
