Why does alcohol always make him sick?

Question

My brother is fifteen, gets so into the fact that he's irish and decides to drink whenever the opportunity arises. He gets sick everytime he has more than 3 or 4 beers! I don't understand why he still does it. He is about 120 pounds. I am thinking that has to do with why he gets sick. I am a few years older than him and 115 pounds and I don't get sick even from drinking shots of vodka or tequila. 9 beers in a row won't do it either. are some people actually allergic to alcohol? It is stupid that he continues drink even though it makes him sick, i know.

Answer 1

Yes it is true that some people are allergic to alcohol, I am one of those few people. Some people also have a higher tolerance for alcohol, and it also could be that if he is drinking on an empty stomach. If in fact he continues to drink and gets sick, once he starts drinking, have him eat something like pretzels, something with bread, so it can absorb some of the alcohol. If in fact he is allergic to alcohol, then I would recommend he stop drinking. The allergy does not go away with the more you drink or the longer you drink, it could only get worse.

Answer 2

He's fifteen and Irish, of course he can't handle his liquor, and what's worse, he's too dumb to know he can't handle his liquor so he keeps doing it.

There is such a thing as an alcohol allergy, but that would be affecting him immediately after he started drinking, not three or four beers in.

Answer 3

No, it's stupid that he's drinking at the age of 15. The alcohol obviously upsets his stomach lining and makes him sick. He might want to think about stopping.

Answer 4

Your brother might have an intolerance to gluten.. My friend's wife has that problem..

3 or 4 and he's sick?

After 3 or 4 I'm just getting started.

Answer 5

It's probably just him. Everyone reacts differently to alchohol. For a dude, he's fairly light-weight... I'm not sure how tall he is though. Tell him to eat before drinking if he doesn't. Not advocating underage drinking, just saying.
