A member asked:

Is it true that if i feel very sleepy as an inexperienced drinker with time and more exposure i will develop tolerance and this feeling will fade away a bit ? or my reaction means thats my genetic variation and this reaction will be permanent?

Maybe/not: Some people will develop an increased tolerance to ethanol & others will not. There is likely a genetic component. I would consider it a warning sign. If you feel it at comparably low levels of intake the other systems necessary for driving/behavioral control/etc. will also be influenced at the same time. Your system is talking to you & you should listen.

No alcohol: Alcohol is a poison that never did anybody any good, ever, so stay away from it. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
