Can you explain me? My brother is roughly 175lbs, can drink A LOT and I mean A LOT. Mean while me (almost 100lbs lighter) gets claubberd. Maybe I got two reccessive aliles or something.
You weigh 75 lbs? 😕

Google calculator tells me that's 34kg. There is something seriously wrong with you if you weigh 34kg.


He said in a previous post that he's 276. 😕 perhaps it's his brother that is 100lbs lighter than him, since that math seems correct.

Oh, gotcha.

At any rate, if he's one of the 50% of asians lacking the alc dehydrogenase gene (while his bro has the gene), that would explain the difference in their tolerance.

Ah, that would make sense, maybe he just screwed up the grammar.

He must have drank a beer, he's not making any sense
