I Can’t Drink Now Like I Used to a Few Years Ago (26M), is that Normal?

During college and a few years after (maybe til 23/24) I drank almost weekly and don’t get drunk that easily. In terms of beers, maybe I get tipsy at about 6 and give up at 10.

But now, I drink 2 and I get tipsy, and maybe tap out at 4/5.

Is that normal?

    Go see doctor. Changes in how your body reacts to alcohol can be serious. There was a dude who posted on reddit a few years ago that beer started giving him a big rash. It was lupus or something. You could have fatty liver or something that means you’re starting to do damage. At 26 it probably isn’t permanent yet, but either way, doctor. Get blood draw. Have liver levels check.

      Do not waste the doctors time. If you start getting a rash get checked out but an increased sensitivity by itself (which is the only symptom mentioned) is not a cause for concern.
