Why do people react differently to alcohol than others?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Several reasons: Sex (male or female), how people metabolize alcohol, underlying liver disease, tolerance, medications, etc. all play an active role in how one reacts to varying amounts of alcohol. Be safe, drink responsibly.

People are different: One of the distinctive features of our species is the diversity of our minds -- there are actual mechanisms in place that guarantee members of a community will always be different. This applies to reactions to alcohol just as it does to tastes in music, job choice and leisure activities. Reaching this understanding has taught me both tolerance ; humility. Drink if you think it's right for you.
