Why women have lower alcohol tolerance than men: It is not just because they are smaller. From Dr. Peter Attia:
Age plays part of that too. I used to drink and party for hours. Now I take a drink at bedtime because it will put me to sleep within 30 minutes. Life of the party I am not.
@Garban I have never been able to drink beer, or any other beverage that is carbonated. I don't do soda, or champagne, or sparkling anything. It might be a good thing that I am that way. I could never be a cheap drunk.
