Slightly tangential to Comprehensive lab panel but sarah_nash92 reminded me — has anyone else noticed changes in their alcohol tolerance?

I know it is not exactly on-topic but it seems related enough to ask here rather than starting a new thread. Apologies if this has been covered — I did search first.

+1 to sarah_nash92. Especially the point about "A few questions about your Comprehensive..." — I have seen the same in my own experience with Comprehensive lab panel.

anna.melb_AU — that is really helpful context on Comprehensive lab panel. Follow-up question: what labs did your doctor order to monitor this?

I am in a similar situation (just started) and trying to set realistic expectations.

To answer LibrarianMeg's question specifically:

From a clinical standpoint, Comprehensive lab panel guide is an area where we have good evidence.

The short answer: baseline labs + quarterly monitoring is the standard of care.

The longer answer involves understanding the mechanism of action at the receptor level, which I am happy to elaborate on if helpful.
