>>> There are lots and lots of Asians ~ MILLIONS and MILLIONS. If only half of them show up at the beer joints on Saturday night that’s gonna’ be a crowd. <<<

Actually, there are BILLIONS and BILLIONS of Asians. If only half of them had the ability to show up at bars on Friday night, then that would be a lot less than the “MANY Asian origin folks” from your first post.

>>> Looks like you met them all. <<<

It looks like you tested and counted them all.

How many is many? 10,000 out of 2 billion? 100,000 out of 2 billion? Sickle-cell anemia is an inherited problem that occurs in populations of African descent, but to say that MANY Africans have it, without quantifying that many, is idiotic.

Or, let’s look at Tay-Sachs disease. Everyone knows that it is more prevalent among Ashkenazi Jew and French Canadian populations. However, that doesn’t mean that MANY Ashkenazi Jews have Tay-Sachs (it’s a rare disease in any population, just not as rare among the Ashkenazi).

Seems to me that if a country has breweries and distilleries, and bars, and beer and spirits readily available for sale, that MANY here actually means A FEW.

>>> You might well try reading through this piece to give you an idea of what this is about: http://www.treatmentonline.com/blog/index.asp?blog_id=2270 <<<

I read pieces like that before my first post. No quantification of the occurrence of this phenomena — no wonder you like this source of information. It’s as vague about numbers as you are.

Get a life, and stop mischaracterizing Asians, East or South, as being folks who can’t safely drink liquor.

don't be ridiculous. Half the Asians is still one large mess of people ~ "many" in fact.

There's a reason you didn't run into the alcohol intolerant half.

BTW, it’s not a mischaracterization. I know a good number of them, all fine folks, and NONE of them hang around your juke joints.
