avalonavalon answered Saturday January 5 2008, 8:18 pm: Generally- yup, that's the case.
But I'm pretty small/thin myself- about 96 lbs and 5'3 and it takes me 4 or 5 shots just to get tipsy.
I guess sometimes it just depends!

queenhearts answered Saturday January 5 2008, 4:59 pm: Well, I'm short [5'1] and small [100 pounds at the most]. I had to have about 6 or 7 drinks to get a buzz. But for my sister, it was way different. I think it just depends on the person. Maybe they do get drunk faster but in my experience.. it doesn't seem to apply.

LOL_x0x answered Saturday January 5 2008, 4:21 pm: Yes, it is.
uisforukelele answered Saturday January 5 2008, 4:02 pm: that is true. stuff like that depends on your body weight- naturally, if you are really skinny, alcohol enters your bloodstream faster than if you were a body builder. that's why some people are called "lightweights"- it's because they are smaller and the alcohol affects them faster.

cOws_in_yOur_tuba answered Saturday January 5 2008, 1:53 pm: Don't know if it's necessary low tolerance, but it's generally true. I'm pretty skinny, and it takes no time at all for me to get super trashed. It could be like the person below me said. The alcohol just goes through your system faster. :P [ cOws_in_yOur_tuba's advice column | Ask cOws_in_yOur_tuba A Question ]
orphans answered Saturday January 5 2008, 10:51 am: well it could be true because it might take more time if you are bigger and fatter because it might take more time to get through your body and if you are a stick it might just go straight down you good luck [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
