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?

    That’s literally like a heroin user bragging abt how much heroin they do but this isn’t seen as harmful for some reason

      It’s literally not. Yes, any amount of alcohol has health effects, but equating a half-dozen beers with heroin is total lunacy. It’s absolutely nowhere near as harmful as literally heroin.

      I don’t even drink anymore. The amounts that are being talked about here aren’t concerning. If you’re equating alcohol with opioids, then you have no idea what you’re talking about at all.

        Alcohol is more damaging than heroin when social damage is included. My opinion is based on the newest research and scientific consensus on this topic.
