Is it normal my tolerance to alchohol is so high?

To feel anything I need 5 shots of whiskey, 7-10 beers or an entire bottle of wine. Beers fall into the 5-8%alchohol range, wine falls 12-15% range and whiskey is 40% or higher range. I dont drink often but when I do tend to drink a lot. I never get hangovers either. I wiegh 140 and im pretty short. Is this normal? Do I just have lucky genes? I drank a total of 5 times in the past 8 months.

    I’m around the same height 143lbs or so and I as well need at least 5-6 shots worth of liquor to reach a desent buzz. When I get case I can go to 15 beers if really want to but thats not too often. I would say that you’re normal.

    You're lucky. When I've drank in more recent years, I would start feeling sick in the stomach before I even get a buzz, and then my buzz would only happen when I'd automatically get dizzy and puke afterwards. I couldn't get like a really happy buzz anymore the way I could when I was younger. That's why I don't drink anymore.

      I think you are probably the lucky one. It's no fun being an alcoholic and there is no cure despite AA and all it's bullshit religion.

        No there is no cure but AA shows you how to live a good life without alcohol. AND AA is not a religious program it is spiritual. I belong to AA and I am Wiccan. There are secular groups that are non-religious and open to any belief and God is not even mentioned.
