Hey, first time drinker here so bear with me
A couple of weeks ago I had a bottle of beer wnd felt nothing but I brushed that off because beer is pretty week
So last night i tried some 43% local whiskey, first I poured myself about a quarter or maybe a little less of a glass of it qnd then topped off the glass with coke and stirred with a straw and sipped on the whole thing pretty quickly, 50 minutes later I didnt feel anything so I thought maybe mixing it with coke was a bad idea so I took a couple of gulps straight from the bottle and waited a few minutes while playing GTA, tried standing up or seeing if my hands shake to see if its working or whatever and exactly zero (0) things happened, I was too scared of drinking even more as to not get black out drunk so I just went to sleep after that
Is it possible that a person whove never drank before has a high tolerance or some shit? Was I force fed alcohol as a baby or something?
