Let me tell you an anecdotal story....

I had a couple cousins..( They are both gone now..and I loved them both!! )

One who was closer to my age....we used to grab a bottle of Ripple...and drive around and drink. About half-way thru...he was crazy drunk...and I was just buzzed. My Uncle, his dad was a full blood Indian...his mom my aunt was at least near 50% Indian.

I myself...Well my grandma was at least 50% Indian too......but I could handle booze way better than those cousins. I think...there is something to Indians not metabolizing alcohol the same as white folks.

I think there is some scientific data out there...that supports that too. But I don't know for sure...

People of European ancestry had millennia of one too many and getting run over by the chariot/oxcart/wagon and eliminating themselves from the gene pool.

Still, those with European Ancestors have problems, too...(Whitemens can't handle their coca...)
