Why can't I get drunk?

Question

I'm a 34 yr old male, 5' 10" and 240 lb athletic build. Going back to when I was much lighter at 190 lbs, I have been seemingly unable to get drunk, and I don't know why. My normal drinking pattern is 2-4 casual drinks a year, so I have not developed some kind of tolerance, I seem to have it naturally.

When I was younger, I had a room mate try to get me drunk, drinking a whole 5th of Crown Royal, and others after that. More recently, I went on my 10th anniv. trip to a Sandals resort- where there is free unlimited alcohol, and I thought I surely could try again. Alas, nothing. Drinking all day, and I felt nothing. My wife drinks three glasses of Chardonnay and she is gone. I am jealous because she loved it, and I can't experience it. What is wrong with me?

Unfortunately, you have a great liver, man. My boyfriend is the exact same way and its just great genetics that no one wants.

Answer 5

drink on an empty stomach.

don't take time in between your drinks. day of drinking isn't as effective.

do shots.

don't expect to get drunk on 4 casual drinks.

mix your drinks. (one vodka,one tequila,mug of beer, one rum,one whiskey.....)

what do you drink? beer?

all thats what you don't do. but since you can't get drunk do all the wrong stuff.

drink your shots like a shot contest. like 30 seconds in between each shot. empty stomach and you'll be gone after like 7 max.
