According to many sources, they say 2 drinks a day for men,
and one for ladies. What is the basis for that? What if the
woman is 500 pounds and the guy 100? Is it still 2 for him
and one for her?

Personally i find that i've gone for weeks, maybe months, at
4 a day, with no apparent ill effects. It did eventually take a
toll on my liver, but then i cut back to two for a long time,
with no problems. But the last two days i'm chugging 4 and
5, and feel fine.

At one time, a liter of rum per night was just fine. I preferred Sailor Jerry's.

A old guy once told me "1 is too many and 100 is not enough" . I was young then and now I find that he was pretty close to right.

Many people do find it challenging to use hard drugs.

How about this X ?

why does sex matter at all ? Punch in the same amount of liquor and same body weight. Female comes up higher.

IOW the female is more intoxicated than a man after drinking the same alcohol content?

BTW, i've heard rumours that certain races cannot hold their liquor, e.g. native indians.

YES, IOW a female is more intoxicated with other factors being the same according to that calculator.

I'm not really buying that or racial differences. Experience/ tolerance is a factor for certain. An old drunk could polish off a liter of booze in an hour and probably not even be obviously drunk. It might be fatal for a college kid that never drank before.

feather Indians have a reputation for being drunkards ( not sure if deserved ?). I can believe it, though. I picture in my mind some "Indians" on a reservation in NM with little opportunity, high unemployment, etc. So they get drunk. Clearly a stereotype. If this is true these native American drunks would actually be able to hold their liquor very well.....they just can't do 30+ drinks.

Again, I say it is tolerance not race....much like any other drug.

men generally have higher metabolism than women, maybe that has something to do with it?
