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?

      I’m 30 and do this easily enough when I drink.

      It’s definitely killing me though and the next 3 days are hell.

        As another 30 year old, I can stay up till 1 or 2 pretty easy - it’s just that I’ll want to sleep in til 10 or so and then throw off my sleep schedule for a 2 days.

          33 here - if the staying up is enjoyable then 1-3am is fine. Hangovers are worse than when I was 23, but I’m usually back up to speed by lunchtime.

          Of course this is heavily influenced by how much water I drink while I’m out. Hydration is important folks!

            Oh I should probably clarify that I don’t often drink haha.

            I just stay up gaming or reading or watching TV
