Why can’t I get properly drunk?

27F – had 5 shots (40%) of Jack Daniel’s (not mixed with anything) plus a huge MUG of red wine (13%), all in the span of 2 hrs. I am barely drunk. Barely!!! I drink maybe once a year, more likely once every 2 years. So why isn’t this making me drunk???

I even had 1mg lorezepam earlier due to overwhelming anxiety but the effects of the alcohol are not any stronger.

All I’m feeling is a bit of unsteadiness and an urge to listen to latino party music. Nothing more. I can read my current book just fine.

I also feel like ranting a little.

Meanwhile, my papi gets pissed after one beer.

I thought I was supposed to be really drunk after all that alcohol. I am basically a teetotalle, and a female, and on antidepressants. But I am still lucid.

I am not sleepier than usual and I won’t have a hangover tomorrow.

I am taking antidepressants (5mg Escitalopram and 50mg trazodone).

Jeez, do I need a whole bottle of Whiskey or what??? Maybe I have high tolerance, dunno.
