Why don't i get drunk

I drank whiskey for the first time 4 months ago, it didnt do anything. I tried it again about 2 months ago, still nothing. So I tried beer, but I feel just as I did before

Is It Normal?

  • How much do you weigh and how much did you drink? Believe me, there is a certain amount of alcohol that WILL get you drunk.

  • I see a lot of people say this. Everybody gets drunk.

    I'm pretty sure it's physically impossible to be immune to the effects of alcohol.

    You either drank too little, too slow, or both.

    • I suppose everyone after drinks would have a blood alcohol level, that doesnt mean they feel the effects.

      • Oh you feel the effects. Just that it's way more obvious from other peoples perspective. That or you just didnt drink that much.

    • But it's true though. I one went to a halloween party, and I drank like 2 cans of some alcohol, and had a bit of vodka. I didn't feel any different, whatsoever.

  • Same here, I have never been drunk. Even when I've drank a lot, didn't even feel "tipsy". I just felt the same as before.

  • I don't drink as often as I did in my early adulthood with friends but back then I was a well composed drinker. People would be falling over themselves at the take-away at the end of the night and I'm just standing there like, ":) Pizza plz" even though I drank just as much.

    Maybe you're just a well composed drunk? Doesn't mean alcohol doesn't effect you, just that you can control your faculties a tad better while drunk.

  • It takes me a lot to get drunk idk why. It didnt used to. I need atleast 8 shots back to back to feel kind of drunk. I think its these brain supplements I been taking.

  • You are large, the higher body mass allows you to drink more alcohol. Also if you eat a lot during the night, and drink a lot of water. This helps you stomach the alcohol. I have the same thing. Seven shotglasses and nothing. Feel fine the next day. And yes I'm big.

  • I'm a light weight, two shots and I'm warm and happy. I get drunk only to update myself how many drinks until I vomit.

    I'm very self aware of my intoxication (enough to not risk driving) normally all it surmounts to is that I drink, eventually lose self moderation in quantity and then puke 80% of that recent alcohol up before passing out.

    Never got black out drunk, probably because my puke benchmark is lower than the blackout benchmark. So I unfortunately remember in great detail.

    Reason why I catalog my drink benchmark is because of a singular moment where I 100% got alcohol poisoning and if it wasnt for the fact that a binged on six bagels beforehand I would of probably died. All six of those chewed up, soaked in alkaline bile bagles came up. In a blind putrid display coating the entire "extended stay of america" bathroom. Tried wiping it up with those thin ass towels, only made it worse. Proceded to take a shower and pass out on the nearby bed. When I woke up I was aware of the prior night's disaster. I put 40$ on the bathroom sink with "I'm so fucking sorry :(" written on it. Called room service and fucked off for the entire day trying to walk off the hangover. When I got back, everything was clean and the money gone, as was with my dignity.

    • I think I'm a lightweight too. I can put away a whole pint of sake but I don't think that's very impressive.

      There's nothing better than being huddled under the blanket and sipping some warm sake in winter.

      While we are sharing embarrassing stories...

      I didn't know what everclear was and some prick gave me a straight shot of it and told me it was vodka.

      I put it down like I would any other shot and immediately started coughing. My first reaction was "bullshit that was vodka that burns way more than vodka going down"

      I ended up getting very very drunk off of that and by the end of the night I walked home with another drunken idiot of a girl and we ended up doing the deed.

      Not my classiest moment and two girls walking around totally drunk at 2am definitely wasn't my safest moment either. But at least this party was all people I knew.

      Needless to say I much prefer drinking alone now and I don't like doing straight shots.

      • I perfer the path of päntsdrunk, a finnish word for drinking alone without pants.

        Why do I need to go to a pub to spend 50 dollars to get drunk if I can get a 20 dollar bottle and self pour in the safety of my own home.

        • Lol I love that they dedicated an entire word to that very specific scenario.

          • Even if you have an armchair understanding of the finnish you can understand why the word exists.

            I also find the word to be a hilariously "foreign" word that is very digestible for the average english speaker. Pants-drunk

    • You are so otherwise articulate, but could you please say, "would have"?
