Drinking
Ok when I drink sometimes I can drink a lot and be normal but other times I can drink very little and get wasted. Why does this happen?

It depends on what you're drinking, and what you ate that day! If you ate very little to nothing BEFORE you started drinking you are bound to be a what you call "cheap drunk"! If you ate a full meal and drink you will find your tolerance is much higher! Next time, if you don't want wobbly knees after two drinks, then make sure you eat a full meal!

Well your body has not got rid of the other drinkd that are in your system. So that's why you can only drink a few dirnks and then get wasted.

It depends on the percent of alcohol in the stuff you are drinking.

How quickly you feel the effects of alcohol depends on a number of things, so it's not suprising that you sometimes feel drunk more or less quickly than you expect. Most people know that how much you've eaten and how recently effects how quickly you feel the effects of drink (if there isn't anything in your stomach the alcohol goes straight through your system with nothing to slow it down), but the types of food you've eaten also have effect, so if you've had a protein and carbohydrate rich meal, you'll get drunk slower than you otherwise might.
What you are drinking also has effect. Wine, for example, always goes straight to my head, as I think it does for most people. If you are drinking spirits with mixers (code, lemonade, etc.) then it's also difficult to judge how much alcohol you are getting. If you are buying from a bar, it should be in standardised units so you know how much you're getting, but at parties it tends to be people just sloshing an amount in, and drinks can be much stronger than you are used to without you really tasting the difference.
Taking medication will also effect your alcohol tolerance, sometimes quite drastically. If you are on any prescription medicine, you should check the directions inside the packet for whether it is safe to drink whilst taking them. Some drugs, such as sleeping pills will seriously effect your ability to deal with alcohol and you'll find yourself feeling absolutely wrecked (not in a good way) on very little. If you are taking anything (or have just finished an antibiotics course) <I>check</I>.
All the best.

That happens to me sometimes too. If you dont eat anything all day...or take any kind of pills that thin your blood you will get drunk without having to drink much.
It also depends on what you are drinking and how fast you drink it.

it depends on where you are, and what you are drinking. obviously tou will get wasted much easier with a small amount of vodka rather then more beer or wine. Also, if you are at a crazy party it might seem like you get wasted easier because there is nothing really holding you back, a mental trick. but if you are alone, it might be harder to get that wild and crazy again.
hope i helped

Tolerance dows very funny things to you. When you develope a tolerance of alchohal, it sometimes fires back. Tolerance is how much you need to drink to get the same effect. Heavy drinkers have higher tolerance than non-drinkers. Yet, your tolerance is shake. So, depending on where it is at, you may drink a lot and have high tolerance, or drink what your BODY deems as a lot at the time, and get wasted, because you have low tolerance then.
