I'm aware of that and took it into account when I said that I thought the AD's had an effect on my tolerance. Obviously, since tolerance can change for many reasons, I'm not absolutely sure it was the medication, but I think that's the most likely cause. Since getting much drunker than you planned on is dangerous and it's easy to prevent if you know it MIGHT happen I think it's worth mentioning.
