Well, I guess we now have some uncomfortable insight into your home life...
Carton a day on holidays
I know you mean like a six-pack of beer cans but for a moment I had the mental image of beer sold in tetra-paks and I really don't want to know what kind of unholy concoction would warrant that kind of packaging.
Or they are just able to tolerate more and are bigger than you.
I've drank a 6 pack of 10% and blown a .06 in 2 hours.
Besides size, that looks of tolerance is exactly the insight. It doesn't come from birth.
It does come from birth though? Genetics play a huge part role in alcohol processing
Practice doesn't make you metabolize the alcohol much faster, it makes you better at functioning at a higher BAC, it increases tolerance not metabolism
I don't know how much faster it gets, but consuming alcohol increases the expression of alcohol dehydrogenase, so you metabolise it faster.
Yeah, obviously. Do you think your body is at maximum alcohol detox levels at all times? Of course not, that's one part of the detox pathway that fires up when you start drinking
How long do you think enzymes stick around? Do you think they pile up?
Their expression is generally linked to presence of a trigger and limited by their byproducts. So you'll produce more of them when exposed to alcohol, then max out based on how quickly the byproducts can be moved
Again, how quickly you process alcohol is mostly genetics

You don't think people have different metabolic tolerance and processing rates?
🤯
They do, but nobody's sinking 210ml of pure ethanol and blowing that low without either being the size of a house or putting in some serious practice. That's the same as drinking 2 entire bottles of wine in 2 hours.
It's the practice they were talking about with "insight".
Okay, I guess I'm a super hero and so is the rest of my family 🤷♂️
I guess you and your family have practice.
No, that's the entire fucking point 🤦♂️. Just absolutely peak Reddit shit.
