My alcohol tolerance is through the roof now. I drank 10 beers without getting much of a glow. I know its not good to drink while on psych meds. What has me worried, is why I can consume so much alcohol now. Is my liver working overtime to eliminate impurities? Has the long term use of my psych meds responsible for this.

Any insight would be appreciated.

EDIT - Also concerned that my psych meds may not be getting fully absorbed into my system, due to my liver eliminating them.
