[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ive noticed it goes one of two ways after 40. Half my friends became pretty big drinkers. They seem to tolerate it fine. I am talking dozens of times I have seen parents out at night at a gathering downing 4-6 drinks, acting fine (sometimes loud/annoying but nothing major) and I see them at 8 am AAU tournaments the next day perfectly fine. This has lead me to believe some people truly can handle it and feel nothing or very minor effects. Unfortunately I am in the second category where each decade my tolerance goes way down. I am a 1/2 drink per event person. And lots of times the 1/2 drink is just something to hold because OTHER people get very self conscious if you aren't drinking. Its hard to explain but it pops up in multiple social situations across work, parenting, long term friends and family...drinkers dont like to be around non drinkers so I at least hold something.

I’m convinced that it’s because these people built up a tolerance long term [/quote]
