Which is probably why me as a small Irishman who drinks rarely can win drinking contests. :)
As an Irishman you are a ringer in any drinking contest from the get go.
My brother laughed when talking about Amerindians susceptibility to alcoholism. We have bred in alcohol tolerance he pointed out “Eric cannot hold his mead! After we drink, bash him!”
“Sexual selection also” his wife chimed in - in animal behavior it is called “handicapping” - like how a gazelle will do three or four twelve foot hops when he sees a lion - he is saying ‘I can jump like this for no reason and STILL outrun you, so don’t even TRY to chase me’.
I pointed out that I dated a bartender in college who got mad at me for not drinking “be a man!” she admonished me. “I will be a man tomorrow on the oar!” I explained (I rowed Crew) - but that wasn’t what she measured masculinity on. No wonder I ended up with a gal on the Crew team!
