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?

    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.

    Source: now sober alcoholic who also dabbled in opiates for a year. 8 years sober this March.

      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.
