Not sure if this topic should go in this forum or not.......Anyway, if it needs to be moved I guess it will be.....
So I was wondering if anyone has heard of a higher sensitivity to drinking alcohol. I am an ADHD female and have noticed especially since I have been in my 40s that my tolerance for alcohol seems to be going down. Used to be I could drink up to 3/4 of a bottle of Red Wine and still be coherent and functioning perfectly, now it seems that I get very tipsy really easily. I can barely get through a couple of glasses and then I almost become incoherent. Not drunk so much as just really sleepy and DOPEY......always saying things that are a bit inappropriate. Not mean, but construed as the wrong thing to say. Causes many misunderstandings because I seem to say things that just come out wrong............and then even though I didn't "mean" it as it was taken, I can't seem to back pedal my way out of it...........this is causing a bit of tension in some of my relationships. Anyone else have experience with this themselves or dealing with someone like me???

My ADHD husband seems to have the opposite effect. He can down a 12 pack or more of beer and most of the time doesn't even act tipsy. Not sure what is up with that!!!! All I know is I don't like it and am beginning to get tired of it.

and I went through a phase where I could hardly drink at all, I'd get an instant hangover! It's passed though, I think it was a hormonal thing...

Now how did I know that hormones would be something brought up!!! LOL..... Just wondered......sometimes I feel completely intoxicated, not in a drunk way but like a dosey, drowsy way.............wondered if anyone else had the experience, I wondered if it was related to the intense hyperness............
