When did I become a lightweight?
Hey ladies, this isn't really so much of a question as a poll, I suppose. I was just wondering, has your alcohol tolerance level changed since you started losing weight? I know that for me it has, and it is kind of depressing. I get drunk way faster than I ever did before and always forget and end up just past the comfort zone sometimes. Am I alone in this? Or was this a side effect I didn't think about beforehand.
Don't worry, I'm not all shook up about it, I just think it is kind of funny how different my tolerance is from what it used to be. Alas, it looks like I will never again be the reigning shot-taking queen!

Yup, totally.
One glass of wine and I am tipsy.

Me too!
I don't know if it has so much to do with me weighing less now as it has to do with me just drinking less in general.
I like to think of myself as a really cheap date now

um I cant drink anything anymore...I use to be able to drink all day with the guys...was never the drunk girl...now I always forget because I rarely drink...and I'm always that girl...
I always get sick now... and typically I have a 2 or 3 mixed drinks thats it...
I'm fine and then all of a sudden the drunkeness hits me... I guess a 290 lb girl can handle it... a 165 lb girl not so much

For me nothing has changed, it all depends on how much I eat that day. If I have a filling dinner - then it takes me more. I suppose I've always been an easy drunk though, so maybe I don't' know.
Haley that stinks!

I haven't really had anything to drink since I started this (I'm not such a big drinker to begin with, and it's been so ridiculously hot here that the idea of drinking and making myself flushed ...which happens no matter how little I drink... just doesn't appeal to me) But, I was already a lightweight at 220, I'll probably be a lighterweight at 207 and less.... we shall see.

I'm a huge lightweight now. I had one bottle of twisted tea last saturday, and I was completely buzzed. Before I lost weight, it would probably take me like....3 to get a buzz going.
I'm sure just one long island iced tea would do the trick now hahah!

I've noticed! I try to drink like I used to, because that's what I was used to doing and it spells trouble for me!
A few weeks ago I threw up outside a bar because I kept taking shots, and that was normal for me before. Now I have a couple drinks and I'm pretty done.
It's nice to be a cheap drink, I can't finish a mickey of whiskey anymore! hehe

I haven't lost enough or drank enough to really know, but, its not a surprise that you would have lower tolerance at a lower weight. Think about it, more weight means more dilute blood alcohol levels, simply because there is more volume to your body. Less weight and all the sudden that alcohol is more 'concentrated' because it doesn't have all the room in the world to go before your liver metabolizes it. It also depends on how often and how much you drink as well..

I've always been a lightweight, but it's worse now. I do think it has to do though with drinking less in general, so when I do drink it hits me harder.
I've also noticed that with the healthy eating, I get worse hangovers! It's awful! I noticed this because I'd been getting really bad hangovers whenever I drank, then one day I ate a bunch of unhealthy, high calorie, off plan food before drinking, and the next day I barely had so much as a headache! Anyone else experiance this?

Um, I've always been a lightweight. I got the nickname of "two beer Chloe" my freshman year.
My already low tolerance is going to get lower???
