I barely drink any alcohol. Like once or twice a year and mostly light stuff.

On the last day at work for 2020, my boss brought Moonshine and I have never tasted it so I took 3 shots and got drunk. How pathetic is that?

I'll trade tolerances with you.

Kiss your bank account goodbye.

No, but really, that's to be expected if you don't drink often. Not pathetic at all.

My recommendation is to try to keep that low tolerance...alcohol has been known to become habit forming at times.

Same for me. I don't really get into full drunk mode, though, so I get buzzed quickly and hold that for the night with minimal expenses and damage. If I drink at all.

3 shots of any spirit rated higher than 40% alcohol will get anyone a bit merry.
Real moonshine can be twice as strong. So you did well!

It's weird, I love having a low tolerance for a lot of the reasons above. Less money needed, less drinking needed to get a buzz, less water needed afterwards to not wakeup with a headache or bathroom visits

Just drink gallons of water in between every shot and you'll be fine. My tolerance definitely isn't what it once was, it DOES get you to the fun part much quicker (and much cheaper) but you also get to the painful hangover part much faster so....hard to say if it's a win.

If the moonshine was fairly close to 100% alcohol, then that's like taking 5-6 straight shots of whisky. If you do that in a short-medium timeframe...yeah, that'll get you drunk. Also, who cares? Anyone who would judge you for not being able to "hold your liquor" is a moron.

Three shots of moonshine? Lmao. I've gotten legit drunk on a quarter of a bottle of Stella Artois. You're lightweight for a lightweight.

I also have low alcohol tolerance.
Outside of wine coolers for the buzz, I don't enjoy getting drunk and it's saved me a lot of money/trouble.

There's nothing pathetic about how anyone feels or is affected by any alcohol.

Unless you act like an idiot after drinking.

If you don't drink much and you had moonshine then yea you'd get drunk extremely quickly. Hell, people who're used to drinking are gonna succumb to that shot. 😅

Nothing to be ashamed of. Just know your limit and be responsible. Plus, you're talking about moonshine which would put most people on their ass in no time.

If they still made Bacardi 151 I'd still be starting bar brawls even in a pandemic. Sadly they don't and most bars don't serve ever clear shots. Still moonshine is a creature so don't feel bad about it.

Haha, my tolerance is pretty high, but I would definitely feel three shots of 87%

I have acute alcohol intolerance. My liver can't break it down at all, it's straight poison. If I drink at all, I end up vomiting until my stomach is empty, and if it gets into my system, I could go into shock according to my doctor.

Can't smoke anything either since I had a lung collapse when I was 18. I jokingly call myself biologically viceless, but really, I'm not a fan of alterants anyway. It's a blessing in disguise. Immune to peer pressure, haha.

Honestly, tolerance is a bad thing with drink. Stay away from the demon's brew. It's never worth waking up and feeling like shit.

I'm the same. Had a rum and coke last night and immediately got tipsy. Didn't even have that much rum in it.

I'm a lightweight as well OP. Back in college there was always some ribbing about it, but now that I'm older I'm much happier to get buzzed while spending next to nothing.

I'm a lightweight with beer but can knock back white wine with the best of them, it's quite odd.
