If alcohol has quit working, it's time to quit.

Not being able to get drunk was a phase for me, followed by getting very drunk off comparatively small amounts of alcohol as my liver and other organs struggled to keep working after years of self abuse.

Dangerous waters InAPickle.
Are you planning to stop drinking, man?

That is why some alcoholics turn to meths. Nothing to do with price, all about effect. Towards the end I found I had to move to stronger and stronger liquors to get any effect.

What's it about? It is a sign you are coming to the end.

I'd rephrase that by saying

I can't drink anymore
I've had enough ..
