Races and how they handle their liqour

[TTChino]

In general, do you think certain races handle their drunkeness differently?

So many nights going home on the train, drunken white people can't handle their shit and do dumbass things on the train.

Headed home early tonight around 1ish. I was sitting across from this young chinese girl. She was sleeping. She was directly across it was 2 sets of 2 chairs facing each other. So 2 mid 30's women talking behind me keep screaming omg shut up you have so much wine and various drugs in your system!!! And giggling.

So this old guy prolly mid 40's, but dressed professionally, quite well I might add. Sits down and bumps the girl pretty hard. He slurs out a I'm sorry. I kinda give him this look, and he prolly thought I was with the girl and starts apologizing alot. I just ignore and sit up. Girl goes back to sleep. Guy is fucked up gets up and wanders a little, sits down and bumps her again. This time I'm just like hey, maybe u should relax and just take a seat. And I make him switch seats with me. Girl thanks me and shit, and the guy starts apologizing, slurring like mad. Really fucked up. This is like the 3rd time. My 1 white friend, when he gets drunk you literally have to carry him.

I guess the question is, not that can they handle their liqour but how they handle themselves once they've moved beyond "buzzed".

I think culture play a role in it.

When I’m places where there is drinking, it seems like it’s mostly the same group acting stupid, but I think many in the that group drink to get stupid.

I’ve made this connection not really by race but by place raised or assimilated to.

You can also pick up clues by listening to people talk before getting inebriated. The difference between people who say, “Let’s get wasted tonight,” and those who also plan to drink as much, but not with the purpose to act the fool. The difference between people who brag about how crazy they acted because they were drunk last night and people who don’t seem to take pride in the stupidity.

Sure there may be other factors, but culture plays a big role.

For many, getting drunk-crazy is fashionable, which may influence how they behave.

I've heard that Asian people are biologically more likely to be allergic to alcohol... but I dunno if that's true or not.

i don't know if it's considered an allergy, but many East Asians lack the enzymes that breaks down alcohol. i've heard that if you're lactose intolerant, but you start drinking milk regularly, your body will start producing more of the enzymes that breaks down dairy products. i wonder if that's true for alcohol. but at any rate, this is the reason that a relatively lower number of East Asians are alcoholic. a lot of people drink too much because they are unaware of just how much they've drank, due to their high tolerance.

i've heard that too.
and that the allergic reaction
is your skin turning red.
hahahaha.
funny. eh?

we all know how well rad handles his alcohol.

For me, i think it deals less with culture and who i'm with. When i'm with my "kicking it" friends we get drunk and just chill and watch videos, play games. With other friends we do stupid shit like wander around or go skate (which doesn't always go together). When i'm dancing, i tend to be freaky. :D

ah, i don't flush and i hold my own.

[kboy75]

for some reason when i'm around my korean friends it seems like i can drink more...

Hmmm, I was a little fuzzy posting that. What I meant by 3rd time this has happened was, 3rd time some white dude has done some stupid shit on the train. First time a couple were similarly sitting across from me. Guy crosses his legs and his dirty ass shoes are on my wool coat. So I tell him to move his feet. It was wet outside too not sure snowing I forget. Girl apologizes guy slurs an apology out one out stares me down. I say to them woman, control your husband hes acting stupid. The guy starts touching her breast, she tells him to stop. He gets up to walk to the bathroom, falls on these 3 young kids and the wife disappears after him.

If you think white people have a monopoly on jackassed, drunken behavior, you need to get out more.

Try having the Irish urge to drink with the Japanese inability to break down the alcohol.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: poor HH...

okay, i so here's something my father and uncle told me. they claim that ever in china, people really CAN drink. and the stuff they drink is pretty harsh stuff. so though i totally believe that many asians either lack totally or partially the enzymes to break it down, compared to many non-asians, i'm wondering if tolerance can be built up?

btw, they said that it's us north american asians that are the wusses... :P

Not sure what you mean by that. My asian friends don't act like idiots the way white people do. My PR and Dominican friends just get a little belligerent. Blacks tend to get really friendly. I see em all dude, it ain't like NY isn't diverse. White people just seem to drop in IQ and become these immobile uncoordinated stupid fucks.

Like I said -- you need to get out more. The fact that you actually think that any single race is more or less of a jackass while drunk illustrates that you are in dire need of either expanding yoru data pool or removing what seems to be a chip on your shoulder.
