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?

Alcohol is more harmful than heroin whenever social damage is included

    Youre getting downvote but I'm not sure you are wrong... Alcoholics are far more likely to hurt or abuse another person than a heroin user, where usually the worst a heroin user will do is steal for money to afford heroin. Heroin users mostly abuse themselves. Alcoholics abuse themselves and those close to them.

    Yep, exactly. They've done actual studies on it. I wouldn't state a point so surely unless I was actually sure of it.

    I think a lot of people just don't want to confront the truths about the harm of alcohol. Easier to downvote and ignore lol. I'm glad I quit drinking, it almost killed me I was in an awful place and alcohol only made it worse. Thankfully weed is super legal where I live now so I can unwind with that, a far less harmful substance.
