    This is kinda inspired by jaybone's thread. I think my alcohol tolerance is declining. I used to be able to drink 12-18 beers before going out to clubs and have a few more there, and still remember most of the night. This saturday I had 9 before going out and I have no idea how many I had because I barely remember going to town. I have no idea why, but it seems like my alcohol tolerance is declining. I also get way too wasted most of the time (kinda easy when I get that drunk that quickly). Does anyone else have it the same way? I thought alcohol tolerance was suppose to increase, WTF is going on?

    especially here in America, all these idiots drinking their piss beer and before you know it you look over and their wasted out of their gord. American's can't drink for shit, it's pathetic. I almost brought this up in the jaybone thread too just because it's laughable how stupid the kid is when he gets drunk. Be a fucking man and handle your drinks. Swilling redbulls and jegermeister and beer that tastes like piss... who came up with this shit! The Brits, now those guys can drink.

    My tolerance is all over the place. I would say I had about 12-15 beers two nights ago at a house party and I was pretty hammered but remember the whole night. That was the first time I had drink in two weeks and I had an absolutely terrible hangover all of yesterday.

    Drinking on an empty stomach is going to make you way drunker as is drunking hard stuff quickly opposed to beer. I think that tolerance is never a given, it is just based on what your body is like that day (how much you ate, how hydrated you are, etc).

    i have had the same thing happen to me the last few years, in my drinking prime I'd black out 5 nights a week and have zero hangovers, just a continuous drunk... I completely stopped for a while, now just mix in a few times a month, and I can't drink for shit anymore. The main thing I've noticed is that I have to have food on my stomach or I get too drunk too fast and just get sick/headache, and if I drink on a full stomach I end up just getting really tired before I manage to get a good drunk going. The other night I went out with 100% intentions on getting shit canned, had like 8 beers and felt like death and came home. Pretty lame, plus I get horrible hangovers now that last entire days.

    I think I'm about to go get some whiskey and go to a BBQ, i'll probably be home in a few hours taking a nap lol

    my tolerance is all over the place.

    i get drunk like 2 or 3 times a week. it will usually take me about 5 beer to get a good buzz on but then i can take like 3 beers and be shit faced already or drink like 10 more and still want to get more drunk.

    Like some1 said im pretty sure its due other factors like the amount of food in ur stomach/how hydrated you are/how much weed u smoke that night/stress levels etc.
