120+lb weight loss. Minimal difference in alcohol tolerance. Science on why?

I have lost 126-132 lbs in the last 13.5 months (depends on water weight for the day). Im a female 5'4" 31yrs old. High weight 267lbs, CW 138lbs (ish).

At my high weight I was borderline alcoholic. Drinking 1600 Cals per day of wine or spirits. So easily 6+ "drinks" per day.

Cold turkey, good diet, lots of exercise, huge weight loss.

Decided to have a few drinks at home with friends the other night. But I realized something. I TRACKED EVERYTHING as has become my religion these days lol

And I drank the same 6 drinks as I would have at 260lbs..and had basically the same alcohol tolerance. I was NOT plastered off my ass. My companions all corroborate that it was just a chill night with nobody causing drunk drama.

What the heck? How is it scientifically possible for me to weight almost half as much as I used to, yet not notice a HUGE difference in my alcohol tolerance?

Is it because I drank everyday at my high weight, nearly or actually alcoholic?

Im looking for actual science here not bro science lol

Edited to add...

I was curious about tolerance during this evening of drinks, so I payed attention to how a glass of diet coke with 2x 1.5oz shots in it made me feel compared to my heaviest. I made sure to be a buzzkill and track every bite of food, I definitely less than half the calories as I used to at my heavy weight when drinking. I planned my 700 cakorie meal, 200 calorie snack ( if needed), and stuck to it.

But I truly felt negligible difference in intoxication
