can anyone attest to this?

I live in Colorado. I can go to my local liquor store get a pack of lets say voodoo rangers and drink like 3 of them get a nice buzz and have a slight hang. I can goto a gas station that sells them as tallboys drink one and feel like absolute shit the next day. Is it because they don’t fifo or something? I swear i can drink a 12 pack with my buddies and have a great time but ONE gas station tallboy fucks me up easily. I know its like 3 drinks in one but im talking about us drinking 3-5 8%-9% beers a piece and having fun, but yet one tallboy from a station puts me in the ground first drink.
