All of the sudden – a few drinks make me stutter?

I’m a 33M, in America – i’ve been around drinking and partying ever since my college years.

I’ve been working out loads and eating better the past 2 ish years, and I notice myself stuttering and having a hard time talking when I get tipsy all of the sudden.

In the past, I could have shots and drinks and beers from the pre game to the party, now I’m increasingly seeing myself have 2-3 beers and a shot or a drink, and I have an increased difficulty in talking.

It’s strange though – like I want to talk, I could text it all out, but the verbal communication becomes laggard and sluggish. Is this a mixture of getting older and in better shape so alcohol takes more of a hold? Just a bit frustrating because i’ll be just getting tipsy and find myself having difficulty communicating – which i’ve never experienced before.

Cheers!
