For anyone that doesnt know, humans have evolved a significant tolerance to alcohol because it does infact exist in nature in rotting fruit (you take what you can in 400000 bc) there are reports of moose losing it after only a few fermented Apples. And Elephant reportedly can get deliriously drunk off of a single beer.

I had a dog that loved beer but he was a nasty drunk. He would knock beers over to lap them up, then start growling and barking for more. Then he'd puke, eat the puke, and pass out.

Sounds like a roommate I had once. You're sure he wasn't just a short bearded man named Matthew?

[-] too_high_for_this@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 year ago

If he was I am guilty of so many crimes

Did I live with you?

Or Mark? Or Luke? Or John?

Then he'd puke, eat the puke, and pass out.

Probably because hops are toxic to dogs.

I've seen this exact thing, a little terrier would wait for everyone to leave the room then he'd knock everyone's beers over and get shirfaced. I don't remember him being violent unless you tried to take the beer away

The ones who couldn't tolerate liquor couldn't get laid? That checks out actually.

I've been told by several people that being a non-drinker is a "huge red flag" if they see it in a dating profile.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

I don't think it's a red flag but it could be a compatibility issue for some.

[-] Nastybutler@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Also, it might mean they're in recovery, which can be a red flag for many

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Or they're seen as boring because drinking culture is deeply ingrained in our societies.

[-] AdmiralShat@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Because usually to state something like that it implies severe alcoholism.

Most people who don't drink just don't drink

[-] Dick_Justice@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

"I don't drink" usually implies severe alcoholism. Got it.

[-] AdmiralShat@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

When you feel the need to put it in a dating site bio, it does.

[-] Dick_Justice@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

That's hilarious to me.

[-] Diprount_Tomato@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Darwin bouta recheck his theory

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

I think it's consistent with it actually.

Yeah alcohol tolerance is sexually selected in some populations of modern Homo sapiens

When people are way too smug about their wrong answer.

You are welcome to discuss and debate any topic but arguments are not welcome here. I consider debate/discussions to be civil; people with different opinions participating in respectful conversations. It becomes an argument as soon as someone becomes aggressive, nasty, insulting or just plain unpleasant. Report argumentative comments, then ignore them.

There is currently no rule about how recent a post needs to be because the community is about the comeback part, not the topic.

Rules:

• Be civil and remember the human.
