New diver question .....re alcohol

[DI_Guy]

A group of us passed our OW checkouts and decided to have some wings and a beer or two to celebrate.

I am a big fella... 200 lbs and after one beer I was tipsy..

Dumb Question:

After diving, does a person's reaction or tolerance to alcohol change ? I assume it had to do with hydration and nothing to do with depth of a dive. (we were not deep at all)

Yep, my bet would be that you were a tad dehydrated & soaked up the beer faster.
What brand of beer was it?

I get tanked pretty easily these days. I dont drink when I dive at all just because I do get that way fast. I do however love chicken wings. Suicide chicken wings. Hotter the better. WOOOOO Haaaaa.

You are going to be so glad you found this board. I have been diving for 16 years, yet have learned so much in the short time I have been on SB.
