It's pravda so it's got to be taken with a grain of salt, but I've always credited my russian heritage with my vodka chugging ability. Which is really useless, because I just get a headache from it, where as a single beer will make me feel more buzzed.

You're not supposed to drink that after you get out of High School.
I don't doubt the gene thing. I lived in Tokyo for years, some Japanese told me many of them are missing an enzyme that breaks down alcohol, I've heard American Indians were similar which is why whiskey devastates them. Anyway, walk around Tokyo on a Friday night and there are people puking and passed out all over the place. Ever seen one of those pictures of the subway there? Imagine you're all packed in like that and some dude stats puking.
My wife is Japanese and she gets fucked up off of one glass of wine, we can't drink together because it takes me an hour of concentrated chugging to catch a buzz, and she' stopped drinking and coming down already.
Interesting, the scientist they interviewed in the article confirms that strong liquor helps against radiation sickness. I did not know that to be a fact.
Regarding drinking -- over the past two years, I decided to tone down my drinking a lot as a result of realising a recurring pattern (quite boring really) in the events and conversations one has when drunk.
Today, I rather enjoy a couple of tasty stouts or ales than getting shit-faced from vodka/whatever or copious amounts of beer.
There are no 'knowns'. There are thing we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say there are things that we now know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know. So when we do the best we can and we pull all this information together, and we then say well that's basically what we see as the situation, that is really only the known knowns and the known unknowns. And each year, we discover a few more of those unknown unknowns.
