I'm not sure if I'm allergic to booze or just getting old, but I can barely drink 5-6 beers and not feel like dog shite for 2 days. No matter what I drink (beer or liquor), I get drunk quickly and hungover as all hell for the next day or two.

Went to a concert Saturday night and had two tall boys, with a short beer after the concert. Went home and have felt like dog shite Sunday and still feeling it today.

Let me know if this is something I should check w/ a doctor about, or if getting old just sucks this much

Yes, I actually have nerve damage from it. I still drink but it causes my whole left side to go numb and tingles.

The problem is there is no way for them to test if you are or not. Just have to do it based on what happens to you. Like I would break out in hives when I drank.

He will tell you to not drink.

It is good advice.

There has been a few times when I would break out in red hives on my back and face, but I used to think it was the sun during summertime. I wouldn't feel bad, nor did I have issues breathing so I thought nothing of it. But I get drunk faster, and borderline slurring words after 6+ beers. Never used to be the case in college, it's started the last two years

What have you drinking habits been like over the last decade?

When i was in college. Give me all of the alcohol and it doesnt matter how much and ill be good to go the next day by noon.

Now a decade later i rarely do more than a beer a week. If i get frisky and drink 5-6 beers yes im in for a shitty next day or so. But thats because i have zero tolerance built up.

I hardly drink more than one drink at a time anymore. Just isnt worth feeling like shite and having my kids wake me up at 7 in the morning the next day.

Knew a lot of Asians that don’t have it. The real reason for it is Asians discovered pasteurization before we did and realized it wasn’t a good idea to mix sewage with your drinking water. We on the other hand pasteurized water when we made booze, but we thought that the booze itself was healthy and not like the first step in making it was healthy. It why whites and Hispanics by far have the highest tolerance over the other races is our ancestors were a bunch of morons.

I grew up with a guy that was. After a beer or 2 his whole body turn beet red and he would get hammered faster than all us. He could still hold his own though.

I think so-too much and the allergic reaction makes me start breaking things and/or puking.

In college I drank like a fish. 7+ whiskey cokes at Tigerland 3-4 times a week. I'd be hungover but it was manageable. Now I'll drink a 6 pack on a friday night and my entire saturday is ruined. I guess I'm getting old and dont have have tolerance i used to - I also don't want to drink like I did in college so maybe this is a good thing lol?
