Interesting post. I knew a guy who could drink an unbelievable amount of alcohol, go to bed drunk and sleep it off - with no hangover.

The likelihood of serious liver damage is incredible here, because the "stop" mechanism never kicks in.

According to a friend who is a doctor, it is very difficult to kill your liver with alcohol. Most of the cases they see are all-day liquor drinkers who mix it with drugs. Usually, alcohol drinkers die of something else first.

People have said that, among his other gifts, Babe Ruth had that ability.

Yep, I knew guys like that in the Army. They were unbelievable. They also seemed to have a capacity to go without sleep... Work all day, drink all night sort of thing.

I've always been very grateful (though perhaps not at the worst moments during a hangover) that I have no tolerance for buckets of booze!
