I've never been a big drinker but I've been going to a lot of parties and clubs and stuff lately. What has worried me is the fact I can seem to drink a respectable amount of alcohol be it hard liquor or beer.
I'm Asian so I don't know if this has any part of me not being able to drink a lot.
I usually max out 1 beer before I feel buzzed and if I drink anymore I usually get sick and either feel like throwing up or throw up.
I don't think there's anything wrong with my body or health but 1 beer sounds almost absurd. All my friends go through a case or more. I feel like a puss cause I can't drink for shit

[DavidNguyen]

it might be your Tolerance. the more often you drink, the more u can handle.
regardless of weight/height.

[Gumby]

I'm like you. Maybe our bodies simply have trouble breaking down the alcohol in our system? Allergic?

Just because you can't drink doesn't mean you're not "cool" though. You also save yourself a lot of money.

Let me guess - you must be at that young, impressionable stage of your life. :)

It's been covered before... many of us asians are missing the enzyme that breaks down the alcohol so it remains coursing through our system... which is why sometimes after 1 beer or even < one beer we feel it. Other ethnicities have the enzyme so when they drink alcohol their body breaks it down so they don't feel the effects unless they consume a large enough quantity.

There's nothing you can do because it's genetic.

In my case, one drop of alcohol, beer, wine, or hard liquor, and i can feel it... think Barney from the Simpsons lol. You might as well hook up a needle and inject alcohol directly into my veins as that's what it feels like.

[Moratorium]

You might be allergic to beer. I'm the same with beer, after 1 beer i have a fuckin headache and feel like puking but with hard alcohol I'm great. But yes us asians are quite weak when it comes to alcohol. There's a bunch of stuff you can do to help you drink better if you really want to drink. Like eating lots of bread, and milk prior to drinking.

There's also the pepcid AC trick if you get super red. Look it up if you havent heard of it.

[d1]

I know how you feel. A few sips of alcohol and my face/body becomes crazy red :mad: and my heart rate noticeably goes up. It's like a shot of adrenaline but instead of feeling the pump, I get sleepy.

[Good_KarMa]

Atleast you're better than me. If i hold an unopened can of beer long enough and just stare at it, i will get drunk. :5shots:

i read it's not good for you with that pepcid ac trick, especially if you're someone that drinks often and consequently use pepcid ac at the same time

Hahaha dude that is the exact symptoms I get too.
After I drink I feel hella tired. And that thing with your heart beating a million times an hour is just like me. I get red too :(

[penner2k]

I sometimes wish I could get drunk off one drink. Usually after about 10 ounces I START to feel something. Its not uncommon for me to drink close to 20 ounces in a night and I'm still functioning better then most people.

[liu13]

one of the first times i drank, i pounded more than half a bottle of whiskey and drove a few friends home, i dont know how i did it but i ended up puking twice after

[stewie]

fuck a missing enzyme!!! just drink everyday, after a month or so, you'll learn to control your drunkness!!!!

my buddy came over this morning and he brought a case of MGD, i drank a 26 of wisers special blend, started at 10am, didnt puke once, and we wernt drinking slow....build that tolerance up boy!!!!

go watch the movie beerfest...learn from them! get out there and challenge yourself to drink more!!!!!! :thumbsup:

[yellowpower]

Dont forget, alcohol is a depressent

[jnesss]

your tolerance will build. just keep drinking!

[unit]

yeah, dont be a noob drinker

[jACEDesignsLtd]

I have super low tolerance too. I would love to appreciate wine the way others do with a nice dinner. But when other people drink alcohol (beer/wine), they get a nice buzz, high and become more social. For me I turn get a pounding headache, feel tired and want to throw the alcohol up. After I throw it up, I instantly feel better. So I figure, why would I pay money to feel like shit? lol Hence, I have stopped long since.

[liu13]

AsRealasitGets, are you 15 years old?

[xPhuong]

You wanna try and stay on topic?
At least I interact with girls even if I get rejected. Unlike you who probably has irritable bowel syndrome. Of course meaning you have to wear diapers cause you're always sharting everywhere. Dude, why you trying to start shit?
And if I'm 15 then you must be what.. like 2? Grow up a little:rolleyes:

[Kim Jong Un]

Palmface
why you accusing of someone with irritable bowel syndrome when you're making threads about moldy feet and horrible breath?
dont try to be a "keyboard warrior" and just let his comment slide or this thread will end up in FC again and add to your fame

PM'ing him wont help either

[ws6ta]

1 beer?? fuck that would be awesome if i could get smashed with one beer.

[MR_BIGGS]

1 beer?? fuck that would be awesome if i could get smashed with one beer.

+1.

[JSALES]

i can't even take in hard liquor as i used to after i made the mistake of chugging almost a quarter or half a bottle of 151 haha

[Meowjin]

I can't believe the op is a real person.

Why you butting in trying to antagonize me? Yet, you found it imperative to totally deflect from the thread's intended issue to play the pot shot maker.
Moldy feet, bad breath gosh golly gee, I'm so sorry for being human. I must be terribly daft to think I'm the only one with these conditions :rolleyes:

Granted, the IBS reference was inappropriate for which I apologize but these bandwagon roller's sole mission it appears is to follow me around just to see if they can get a rise out of me. This of course stemming from my post in the fight club section. The guy came into this thread solely to test my patience. In fact he's probably never even posted in this health subsection prior to my initial posting here.

I dunno, but lets play role reversal here. Would you just ignore this guy and be all like "thats ok" I'll let that guy's comments fly. Seriously, we need an RS advanced ignore option ______ <-----insert username here

If more nitwits wanna continue the trend of harping on me go ahead. Its a free country but I'll kindly ask a moderator to close this thread if things spiral off to lame intimidation bashing.

[woob]

1 beer?? fuck that would be awesome if i could get smashed with one beer.

If I got smashed off one beer I'd be lynched from uni

[guten]

Your just lacking the enzymes to break it down

[Vansterdam]
