I am 25 and it does not matter what I drink, pre mixed, beer wine I always get real drunk. What can I do and why does it effect me so?? I am not on any meds

Answer 1

Just the way your body chemistry is.

Answer 2

Because you're lucky!

Answer 3

this can be because of your tolerance level, even though you are 25 and drink the same as other friends doesnt mean a thing, EVERYONE is differant... unless you drink just about every day and/or week your tolerance level is still going to be quit low... just pace yourself  if you dont want to get so drunk....

good luck and be safe...

Answer 4

In your body, alcohol is absorbed primarily from the stomach and small intestine. About 10 percent is eliminated through the kidneys, lungs, and sweat glands, but the rest is metabolized in the liver by an enzyme called alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH). If not enough ADH is produced in the liver, the body will not be able to metabolize alcohol. A second enzyme, aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), also plays a role in metabolism, and is missing in up to 50 percent of Asian people. The lack of ALDH is often associated with the facial flushing that occurs in many Asians, as well as Native Americans and Inuits, when they drink. So people with less ALDH will often flush, sweat, and/or become ill after drinking small amounts of alcohol. Recent studies suggest women have fewer alcohol metabolizing enzymes than men. The fact that women typically have more body fat also causes them to metabolize alcohol differently. This means that a woman will have a higher blood alcohol concentration level than a man, even after consuming the same amount of alcohol, which explains why women seem to be able to tolerate less alcohol than men.

Answer 5

1.  Are you asian? LOL

2. I think you getting drunk ez just means that your body metabolizes the alcohol a lot faster.

Be happy you got a good metabolism!  Won't last forever...

You should just slow down and drink less than your friends.

Answer 6
