is being high on shrooms like being drunk? Curious if Im resistant or not

I've gotten drunk only once in my life. I was fired overseas, went out, bought three bottles of soju, and drank about three mint-flavored ones, which were nasty. The effects kicked in about an hour later. I threw up, and that was the last time I ever drank.
Recently, about two weeks ago, I took about 1 gram of GT mushrooms, but it did nothing. Later, I mixed 3 grams of GT and Mutant mushrooms. It took about 2 hours to kick in. It felt like when I drank that clear liquor, but I also felt pretty happy. It was a pretty cool experience, to be honest. The guy I got the mushrooms from said there should be more to it, like visuals, and it shouldn't have taken 2 hours to kick in, but he was happy I liked it.
I'm just wondering if I'm a bit resistant to getting under the influence of things. In general, SSRIs did nothing for me, and I have to take the maximum dose of Ritalin for it to work just a bit. Stuff like Vyvanse/Adderall doesn't even work for me after a month. Next time, I'm thinking of trying 5-6 grams, lol.

You drank three bottles? Large bottles or like 8oz bottles?
5g is a lot.

The mushrooms you ate could be relatively weak and/or you could be one of folks that needs a bit more than others to "get there"...
Also...1g is a very low dose and I wouldn't expect much to happen from such, even with potent varieties like APE. Taking 3g more on top of the 1g that you took should have done something tho, depending how long you waited between the doses.
To answer the question in the title of the thread...Mushrooms, and most psychedelics, can sorta give one a feeling that is somewhat similar to being "drunk", especially during the come-up phase/first couple hours after dosing there are some similarities. Mostly just the way one's body and spatial orientation can feel a bit wonky when moving around....but generally speaking, nah, psychedelics are like the total opposite of being drunk IME.
Soaring on 3.5g of good mushrooms versus being smashed on beer or liquor, absolutely nothing alike at all.
Psychedelic are mind expanding, alcohol is mind numbing. Psychedelics open up & enhance the senses & mind, alcohol dulls down the senses and mind.
They are nothing alike besides some vague "drunk-like" feelings one might have in their body during the come-up phase.
There is far more to mushrooms/psychedelics than what you've experienced so far...and far more to it all than just "visuals"...A good solid dose is like a dive into one's soul or the universe itself. And things can get very bizarre/strange, and thought provoking, with the deeper end of mushrooms dosages.
Here's a "flow-chart" of sorts that conveys the expanse of what psychedelics can catalyze, there's a whole lot more to psychedelics than just "seeing things move">>>

So if you get a good dose in you that does the trick, be prepared for more than a drunken feeling and more than just some visuals lol.
The first two times I ate mushrooms I too didn't experience much at all besides a mild buzz/stoney feel. IIRC I took 1.7g my first two times...so my 3rd time, wanting to have an actual full on "trip", I ate 5g. And that absolutely had me laid out for about 3 hours before I started to slowly "become me again", full "ego-death". I feel the mushrooms I was working with at the time were relatively weak, although the 5g def had me rather deep it shouldn't take that much.

Not anything like alcohol for me.
Also 1 gram is a good dose if the material is on the stronger side. That can be 20-30mg of alkaloids.
With GT 1 gram is more like 7-10mg of alkaloids. They aren't strong.

Some strains and species do have an intoxicating effect similar to alcohol.
Sounds like you havea natural tolerance to drugs. Its rare but some people are just naturally like that.

I would say the traditional cube experience is nothing like being drunk, as you don't really lose consciousness like you slowly do while drunk, I feel, but more migrate to different spaces of thought and mentality. Impossible to correctly convey, but a worthy experience even at lower dosages.

Howdy. You gotta admit you are a newbie and a rookie. I recommend gateway drugs. Get drunk maybe 5 or 10 times. Start drinking alcohol. Maybe just 1 or 2 beers on Friday nights. Maybe a 6 pack. Then try some hard liquor for a few Friday nights. You will learn what a "buzz" is. Try doing a few hard hangovers or drink until you black out. Nasty stuff.
Next, try marajauna and some prescription pills and other "gateway" drugs. Do the mild drugs. Just dabble here and there.
After a few months or a year, try mushrooms.
Mushrooms can be slightly similar to alcohol maybe in microdosing. Maybe you will get the giggles or feel happy. But there is no comparison between alcohol and mushrooms. Alcohol is an anesthesia. Mushrooms are a psychedelic experience. Mushrooms are way stronger than you understand. Your reality can break and it can last for 6 months. You can pass through the looking glass and go down the rabbit hole. Reality is inverted. Your mind and your "self" is inverted. Exercise extreme caution. Take a crash course in drugs and alcohol. Learn about your body, brain, mind, spirit, soul, and consciousness. After this self education, try mushrooms and start very slowly.
Understand Alice in Wonderland and Plato's allegory of the cave. Understand Buddhism a and Hinduism. You may die and be reborn. Ignorance is bliss. Consider yourself warned Lol!
Be safe. Good luck.

So are you currently on any medications? That may be the reason.

Soulflight, I've got to respectfully disagree.
I don't think getting blackout drunk is ever good advice, not personally a fan of the term gateway drugs, and suggesting prescription pills could lead someone down a really bad path.
My two cents.

Yeah it's lame advice imho also. Better off skipping alcohol, pills and all the other crap and just eating the shrooms. I've never regretted the countless times I've taken psychedelics, but have plenty of regrets around alcohol, pills and other trash highs.

just to add in another opinion, do not drink till black out or take pills or any of that. if you're gonna do anything enjoy the shrooms.
shrooms are nothing like being drunk. i love psychedelics. each has a different effect. the first few times i took shrooms many years ago friends would get an 1/8 and split it. so at first i didn't think much of them other than they got you pretty stoned. when i did actually take enough the first time...Oh...hey now, this is...this is something VERY unique.
i ask this question for you to answer for yourself. why do you want to take them? have a reason for yourself before.
if the only reason is to get effed up, well take enough and you will indeed. however you may find your self doing some serious work instead of enjoying a party.
and most importantly don't do drugs. pills, nicotine and alcohol are very bad for you.

You mentioned some giddyness/happines, so they seem to have some effect, for me this is a .5g-1g level of experience. You mentioned SSRI use. SSRIs can definitely make you resistant, as can other prescription medications, depending on how recently you have been using them.
Some people are naturally less sensitive to the more mystic effects of mushrooms, especially those of us with strong scientific and/or materialistic backgrounds. I seem to need about twice the dosage other people report to get equivalent effects. And they CAN be less visual than other psychedelics. Try using in a dark place, while listening to some calming, preferably instrumental music. Coincidentally, that was the way the native people of South America originally used them. If you like electronic music, psytrance is ideal.
Rather than getting silly drunk or trying random non-psychedelic drugs (feel free to smoke weed e'rry day if it helps you cope with this shitty 21'st century, though...) you should consider reading a ton of information about psychedelic drugs, the process of the psychedelic experience, and the methods available and used over the centuries for accessing and manipulating a psychedelic mind space even without drugs, such as meditation, breathing exercises, and adrenaline-intense experiences (historically induced by sexual rituals and/or fear rituals.) So yeah, do understand Alice in Wonderland and Plato's Allegory of the Cave. Understand Buddhism and Hinduism, even if you do not believe in them.
If you have time for nothing else, Michael Pollan's "How to Change Your Mind" is a good modern overview.
Some classics are "LSD - My Problem Child" by Albert Hoffman, and "The Doors of Perception" by Aldous Huxley. Tim Leary's "The Psychedelic Experience" is worth a read to understand it's place in history but do realize that it's kind of outdated and relies on a lot of inaccurate cultural appropriations from eastern culture. All of McKenna's stuff is great, some of it is far out there, ride with it until you understand it's meaning.
But nothing has given me better insight into understanding this alleged reality than the collected writings of Robert Anton Wilson. And it wasn't until I read his autobiography, Cosmic Trigger, that it all really came together.

I am recommending "baby steps" to shrooms. The OP sounds naïve. The OP needs to understand "altered perception." Shrooms are way more powerful than the OP understands. The OP needs to understand drugs and alcohol and altered states of perception.
5 to 6 grams is way too much. Follow my advice. And then start with 1 g of shrooms. Wait a month and try 2 grams. Wait a month and try 3 grams, etc.
Good luck. Be safe.

Maybe just slowly increase the mushroom dosage and ignore the potentially dangerous drugs all together.

So going out and getting black out drunk and popping prescription pills are “baby steps” to mushrooms? I don’t think so man, feels like baby steps to becoming a full blown addict.

Where did your shrooms come from? IME shrooms are NOTHING like alcohol. In fact quite the opposite. The cubensis experience turns the senses on into overdrive. At 5g of decent shrooms that haven't lost potency I would expect a damn good trip. Even at 1 gram of typical multispore golden teachers I would expect enhanced vision and walls breathing a little.
You mentioned ssris don't work on you but are you on anything?
Imo you got shitty shrooms or theres something your eating or taking that is blocking them somehow.
Or as others have said you may be the one in a million who's just naturally resistant. There may be enzymes in your stomach or liver that break down psilocin before it can take effect on you. It's rare but there are crazier things that have happened.
If you're getting from someone who grows regularly see if you can get in on some freshly dried or just plain fresh fruits.
