Answering the narrow version, because the broad one does not have a single answer. Take it one variable at a time. Almost every unanswerable question in these threads is unanswerable because three things changed in the same fortnight, and no amount of subsequent argument can untangle them after the fact.
Alcohol simply stopped appealing, which I did not expect and which has been more socially complicated than the weight loss.
The question I want answered is whether the change in tolerance is the smaller stomach, the smaller body, or something central, and whether it settles.
Practical detail welcome, however dull — the duller the better.

No disagreement, though the timescale matters more than the mechanism here. Most of what looks like a difference in kind turns out to be a difference in how long somebody waited.
Happy to go further on any of that.

Same experience, arrived at from the opposite direction. I had assumed I was the exception until I read this.
From the other side of the consultation, briefly. The honest answer is that the effect is real, the magnitude is contested, and the individual variation is larger than either. Those three things can all be true at once, and most arguments here are two people holding different parts of that.
