I don't understand this

Red Wine 13.5% alcohol by volume

White Wine 13% ABV

why am I completely FUCKED on the latter, despite drinking on a full stomach?

I love me some wine and weed, but lately, it's been more of the latter.

3. Maybe that's why.

I know if I go awhile without drinking, the next time I do drink I catch a buzz much faster and off a lot less booze.

7. Maybe you drank the 13% of the bottle that contained the alcohol

The remaining 87% must be fruit juice.

11. It has been awhile since I have studied this

But I believe that alcohol metabolizes slower in the presence of higher levels of estrogen.

13. so that would mean you would get more intoxicated *earlier* in your cycle

Lower estrogen is what triggers ovulation.

14. Like I said, it has been years since I have actually studied this

and I am getting forgetful, it may be the progesterone, all I remember is that the hormones affect the metabolism of ethanol.
