Why does beer make me fall asleep? I drink all kinds of alcohol but beer and only beer makes me pass out and I don't mean black out drunk but sleepy. I have 3 bottles and I start dozing off

Beer contains hops, which you seem to be particularly affected by.
Hop has a calming, dampening and sleep inducing effect.
That's the whole reason why it's in there, before that brewers put all kinds of herbs and shit in their beer, often with hallucinogenic properties. This lead to often violent excessive outbursts.
Hence at some point the rulers ordered the slightly tranquilizing hop to be added to it instead as the only additional herb.

>Even with just two drinks it messes you up.
nah because after 2 hours the alcohol's completely out of your system. now if you're blacking out and going to sleep, yes you are not getting a restful sleep.

That's not true. And even if it was, your body still has to process other things from it that take longer. Your body also doesn't just immediately return to baseline either.

Other drinks are stronger and lower in volume. You have to drink a lot less liquid to get drunk. Once you feel drunk that gives you a second wind to get up, get something to eat, start a movie, etc.
Personally this is why I drink beer. I just get bored and decide to go to sleep. Even with the high ABV ones. Give me vodka and I'm up til I pass out.

Sleepiness happens when you consume alcohol too slowly. There is a ~90 minute period after your first drink which defines the kind of drunk you get. If you spike your blood alcohol quickly within 90 minutes then you'll get a more euphoric, energetic drunk. If you only drink a couple beers in that 90 minutes then you'll just get sleepy and groggy no matter how much more you drink.

Higher absorption rates are less relevant than total alcohol consumed in a period of time. Alcohol is absorbed near instantly as it is. And since beer has much less total alcohol compared to other drinks, drinking beer increases your blood alcohol slower unless you chug them back to back.

Pacing the perfect binge takes a lot of skill, many fail in this craft.
Go too hard you overshoot and night is over, you go too slow or do a too long break and you'll get hardcore sleepy and night is over too.

Nah, just keep drinking and you'll get better.
I stopped drinking beer but I used to drink 5.5% cans one after another until I had 20 or so.
Those nonsense studies quoted earlier doesn't mean shit, if you are a grown man and you sip some 3.3-4.5% beers slowly, you'll just get bloated because beer is full of carbs. Carbs make you tired and bloated. Even worse if you are allergic to them, if you are drinking shitty beer it's made out of corn starch or something similar, you'll feel even worse then.
Drink quality beer and drink it fast.
I could drink 24 cans of some cheap shit and not even getting drunk because it just doesn't work.

That's not a good type of drunk. You were just abusing your body and getting blacked out while failing to maximize the experience
>Carbs make you tired and bloated.
Alcohol is a type of carb. Wine and cocktails are full of sugar as well.
>Even worse if you are allergic to them
You're "allergic to carbs"?
Obviously you have very limited to no understanding of this subject. But keep drinking your "24 cans of cheap shit" I suppose

lol a drinker made this chart in a desperate attempt to not fuck up again.
im not sure a good chart exists, though a general unitless chart like this might be generally useful.

I'm not op but probably something along this line. I get sleepy from 0,25l of beer, (half an aluminum can), and also get sleepy from certain pizzas lately if I eat too much (when its too oily/fatty or the dough thick and fresh).
I'm starting to worry because no matter what I eat I'll suffer later, simple pains, bloating, pissing much, constipation/diarrhea, never something normal. I'd guess early diabetes and also "complete gastro failure" - as in every process and organ sucks a little and doesn't to its job as it should.
Don't know how americans do it, I'm not even overweight. But at least I'm at no risk of becoming an alcoholic, I'll fall asleep before damaging my liver further.

>you are prediabetic.
This. I've been managing my diabetes with the keto diet for nine years now. Whenever I get lax and my diabetes worsens, I start falling asleep after eating carbs, e.g., peanut butter on an apple.
Then I have to be strict again for a few months to try to unfuck my metabolism.

Have you considered Celiac disease? I get drowsy if I eat wheat and can have most of the symptoms you mentioned. Beer usually has barley which can do the same thing. Rye also causes problems and maybe oats for some people.
If you're not overweight then diabetes is unlikely. You could probably still get a blood sugar test pretty easily from a doctor if you want to be sure, or buy a blood sugar test kit yourself but it's probably not necessary. The constipation/diarrhea means you're probably reacting badly to something you're eating with an allergy or intolerance.
You could just stop eating wheat/rye/barley/oats for a few days and see if you notice any difference.
