Is easily getting drunk a sign I'm dehydrated or improperly nourished?
I used to drink a lot in college. I would kill a handle of vodka by myself every weekend. Weekends started thursday and sometimes wednesday. My pregame was around 8-12 shots of vodka.
I don't drink like that anymore. As soon as I left college I was done with it. I may have 6 beers in a month or two now. I've been commuting for about 2 months now and have lost around 5-7 lbs. Now when I have a single beer I feel it. I don't get drunk, but things certainly feel more disconnected.
Is this a sign I'm not properly eating or am I only able to withstand the brutal pounding of $12 handle vodka?

It's not a sign. It's your biology.

It's a sign that all that booze dissolved your brain.
What makes you think that it's your diet that made your resistance to alcohol drop rather than the fact you have a job? We can dismiss the idea that your tolerance dropped because you quit embalming yourself outright.

Was it more alcohol than water in college?
Or is it more water than alcohol now?

In your college days you blew your liquid lunch out on the frat lawn vacating your gullet, leaving room for more hooch.
This is no longer acceptable in the real work world.

Seriously now... if you 'feel it' after 1 beer, have a few more. It's just a warmer upper buzz your body gives you to let you know you're doing the right thing, and that precedes the real buzz, which precedes mild intoxication, which precedes waking up on a park bench two towns over, covered in McDonald's cheeseburger wrappers, with a broken nose, no pants, and a dead hooker at your feet... wait.... what?

It's like cycling: the more you do it, the better you get. Just don't overtrain.

There's tolerance and then there's something different. My question is based around my preconception that perhaps the alcohol was getting into my system quicker simply because there wasn't enough nonalcoholic stuff in my system to stop it. Or I wasn't eating/drinking enough and my body wanted to put whatever I ate/drank more directly into my system. I don't know. I just didn't think one beer would actually produce an affect in me.
