I will not drink for a month and after that I'll just have 2-3 drinks and that's it.

Ya I know exactly why that is...don't you remember health class in college?
When you first start drinking in your life you usually get drunk fairly fast as your liver isn't used to the new type of poision it needs to clean from your system.....as you continue to drink you slowly build up a tolerance as your body produces more of the enzymes needed to clear the alcohol...however when people continue to drink a lot (get drunk once a week or so) for several years your liver eventually becomes over worked and basically gives up...which drops the levels of alcohol clearing enzyme and thus lows the amount of alcohol you need to get drunk.
This is usually a sign of the first stage of complete liver failure and should be checked out by a doctor.
Also, remember that it takes on average 6-8 days for your body to clear all of the alcohol from your system after one night of getting drunk. therefore, if you get drunk once a week, you're actually never at 100% mental capacity
