Alrighty, I have an odd question.

How does the loss of testosterone affect the ability to get drunk?

Here is the reason I'm asking. I've never been drunk. When I was a teen, I gave drinking a try (who doesn't?) It did absolutely nothing for me, except make me sick. Even drinking a glass of wine with a meal will pretty much ensure I don't sleep well. I'll get a headache from even the smallest amount. I've never felt that relaxing sensation people talk about from drinking. The older I get, the less interest I have in even trying to get plastered.

Once, a while back, I tried a bit of pot. My first experiment with it, I was 36. It didn't make me high. Instead it made me violently ill, and threw my equilibrium completely off. Not a pleasant experience, and I won't try it again.

The only time I ever felt like I was drunk or impaired was when I was stripping a bathtub, so it could be re-glazed. The acidic stripping agent was very powerful, and even though I was wearing a breathing mask, the fumes penetrated the filters and I got spun out. Once again, the main effect was I lost equilibrium, and got sick. But I did find things funnier than I normally do, and had trouble putting sentences together. After I threw-up and had a nap, I was back to my normal self.

I've always had low testosterone, and I'm wondering if being low on hormones could have any affect on the way my body handles alcohol and other mind/mood altering drugs.

Or... it could just be, I'm weird that way.

P.S.

I'm not immune from addictions. I love my coffee, and I enjoy my cigarettes. I actually come from a family that has a high incidence of addictions. We're prone to get addictions easily. I'm certainly no exception to that rule. (Just immune from addictions to alcohol and drug use.)

Since becoming a eunuch the only alcohol I can enjoy is wine. I can tolerate beer physically but no real interest in drinking it. I do get a nice buzz from wine and enjoy listening to music and walking around the place looking at my art collection. Yes I get drunk and play gallery. I like walking from painting to painting and not only enjoying the art but the memories of where I found it. In the past alcohol would make me feel restless and I would head out on the hunt. Now I enjoy my buzz at home.

As a matter of fact my favorite miracle from the bible happened at the Wedding at Cana.

Cigarettes make me dizzy and nauseated. Alcohol makes me turn red and get sick. And then on top of that looking too young in the first place have pretty much kept me away (but not tototally) from drinking establishments all my life.

Well. I'm an alcoholic and have been sober and drug-free for over 18 years...I'm now on a regimen to enable low testosterone/feminization...Unfortunately, I'll not be able to test out this theory, as I don't drink...There may be an allergy to alcohol/ intolerance here...It's prevalent amongst oriental races...Unfortunately, not me ..smooches

Better yet, submit that and get a government grant and you can retire early from the money you made from studying something that is practically unimportant and useless to just about everyone.

Being with or without balls I would suspect results in equal intoxication results for 2 people of same body mass and reaction to alcohol.

The guy with balls would be more inclined to drink more.

Balls like getting drunk , so they "egg you on" to drink.

Without balls, the brain take charge and it isn't so fond of being drunk.

Just a theory.
