A member asked:
If my dad developed alcohol intolerance at 50 but he never drank a lot does it means he always had a predisposition and that why i feel sleepy after drinking ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Metabolic response: Fundamental in metabolism of alcohol is alcohol dehydrogenase, and levels vary from person to person. Therefore, less activity could result in higher levels of persistent intoxication and even dependence. You may be inordinately sensitive due to your heredity.
