I have to admit, I have been “using” “abusing?” alcohol for what seems to be ages, and have researched alcoholism on line, it seems to me that I should be dead by now. I want to know, seriously, have any of you been drinking for decades, and, if so, how do you feel? Besides drunk….

Answer by shea
i really think it depends on your family. for example.. a lot of my chinese friends lack the enzye (Alcohol dehydrogenase) which allows one to break down alcohol. So they get read and drunk fast.

it depends on your race, your family, and what you have gotten your liver to live wit
